As we emerged from the forest next mony ing, we had our first view of the val- lev of the Illecillewaet. 'A world in minature lay spread out at our feet, and we could see with dis- tinctness every object, as a soaring bird sees it. The llecillewaet nver foamed through the gorge, gleaming silvery white in the . sunlight, Far across the valley we conld hear the whistle of an engine, and we knew we were nearing the Canadian Pacific and civilization. : : Faint and indistinct it came at first and then echoed from the crags on either hand. Presently, we could wee coming--a mere toy oreep- - ao with Barer perceptible mo- Snow amped stead ing aon. i As it drew nearer we could realize its true size, the greatness of the moun- tains, and, at the same time, our own insignificance. Once reaching the river, we followed it quickly down to the gorge, at Al bert Canyow, deep, abrupt and nar- row. Here we found a little settlement of six houses, but with it rest and shelter and a plentiful food supply. For some time thereafter the days were spent quietly in camp, but with mething of interest to enliven cach twenty hours : Quite skiliul did some of the faninine members of the party become with shotgun and rifle. We practiced fre quently, and gophers along the moun- tain sides made good targets for our aim. We were sitting around the camp fire one evening late in our stay in the Ground Hog Basin when the skipper remarked about the clearness and rarity of the atmosphere during the last few days and suggested that we climb Little Lake Mountain the next morning to see the sun rise. The sug gestion get with our hearty ap ptoval. Each of us took an extra supply of heavy. clothing when we started we were to attain an altitude o 000 feet and at four o'clock in the morning. Our route lay through the wonders ful alpine meadows for about a mile; then up g stifi ascent, over rock and shale to the mountain top for 8. Everywhere the luxuriant grasses grew thick about us, and anemones and painted cups shone out from their bed of greenness in the pale morning light. Further up we came to masses of purple heather, and the pink saxi frage filled cvery tiny erevice in the rocke above We climbed quickly, across snow fields, over rough and jagged rocks, across beds of shale, where footing was precarious, and over rocks again, fearing less we miss the first streak of crimson light. At last the summit was gained, just we sat on a rock and light steal up from the east.

Away to our left, commanded by us as in the highest seats of a vast am- phitheatre, stretched a great, unnamed glacier, reaching, seemingly, up %0 the horizon, Pure white it lay in tie morning sunlight, or, with the varying light, flashing with all the hues of the prism, as the rays were broken by projecting ridges of ice, But breakfast was to be considered. An opening between two rocks served as an ideal spot for the making of a camp fire. Jack, after much searching, discovered a few dead branches of sorub, and we soon had a cheerful blaze. Pailfuls of snow and ice brought from the nearest glacier, were soon melting for the tea and ast, In a short time the meal was over, Here we separated for tbe day, some returning to the camp, the. re- mainder going on to explore the gla- cier. A prospector, who had joined ou: party the day before, started off to hunt. Bears, we knew, were plentiful, as was not our supply of meat in the camp. About 4 in the afternoon the pros- pector returned, bringing a ptarmigan and part of a caribou ham. fe said he had followed the caribou for eight hours, and had at last shot him three miles from camp. We went out to help bring back the meat. What a glorious animal he was! And what a sacrifice to have killed" him ! I'he practical side of affairs had to be considered, however, and we started in to skin the caribou. While doing so we saw nine mountain goats walking slowly along the sun-tinted crest of the peaks far above. Several shots were fired at a range of about eight hundred yards, but the animals scur- ried away in safety, Soon it was inky dark, and the re turn to camp was hazardous, The first mile was over rocks and snow, and then we would find the trail. Now and then some one would fall down; but we plodded on, taking our direction from the north star, We had fresh meat with us, and our route was through a wild mountain pass, the refuge of the woodsman's greatest enemy---the silver tip bear. Before reaching camp at elev en o'clock that night we were com- pelled to wade a mountain stream. We met. no bears, however, and our only trouble was from fatigue and hunger. But we were happy in having a splen- did supply of caribou meat. During the day Jack had seen a mountain goat, and had followed him for hours. Late in the afternoon he saw a herd of ten caribou : glacier, and crawled Fibou atram dhe! the edge, in order to get near them. Losing his footing he slipped and slid nearly half a mile down the glaci- er, stopping just at the brink by dig- ging his fingers into the snow and holding in this way, until those above could come: to his assistance, throw him a rope and pull him over to a rocx, In our several diaries we named that Big Game Day, and never ceased bo: ing thankful that no disastrous acci dent. occurred.

Military Men Dubious Practical Value, Washington, D.C., Feb. 10,~The army subsistence officers in the west are engaged in making the plans for a kitchen cart, but they doubt the wigdom of constructing any such vehi cle. There are officers of the army who believe that these so-called improve ments may easily lead to such an in crease in the impediments of a mili tary column, as to seriously hamper the movements of troops. It is a grave question whether the military estab- 1 t is not already weighing down its soldiers with burdens, which must be rejected on the march, and whether the array of waggons, with the extra equipment, surplus ammunition, fire- less cookers, tentage, and the recently adopted entrenching outfit, will net do more harm than good. There is a disposition in some military quarters to call a halt to the so-called promo tion of the comfort of the soldier, when he is in the field. Army commis. saries say that it is not to be expect ed that the trooper under arms in the neighborhood of - the enemy, either as purser or pursued, will dare or need hope to have the comforts of the gar: vison, or even the luxuries of the pic nic eamp. For this reason it is felt that there should br a conservative consideration of the various and in creasing, propositions for making sol- dier life more bearable, ------------ Great Cities Of The United States.
