Risbridge Tells of His Trip Through Qanada--Construc- tion Sight in San Francisco is Wonderful, San Francisco, Cal, May 16.--(To the Editor) : Having been requested by many friends, in the city and township of Kipgston, to write and give them a sketch of my trip from Lihgston out to the coast, by way of the C.P.R., I would be very thankful if you would find space for the follow- ing, as 1 will hardly find time to write to them all. I left Kingston, April 30th, on the train of the K. & P. R., for Renfrew, where it crosses the main "line of the C.P.R., 104 miles north of Kingston. I arrived in Ren- frew at six in the evening, where 1 had to wait until 3.20 in the morning for the west-bound transcontinental train on the C.P.R.. Leaving Ren- frow, it was not a very beautiful view that greeted our vision. At daybreak six inches of snow was on the ground and the small lakes were still covered with ice, in fact, the whole seetion of country from Renfrew to Fort William, some soven or eight hundred miles, is the most desolate and worthless look- ing country as far as agriculture is concerned, that I ever rode through. 'May 2nd morning we were running along the north shore of Lake Su- perior. We arrived in Fort William at 11 am. There was still snow on the ground and the harbor was full of ice. Fort William seems to be quite a lively town and is building up fast. Speaking of the passenger traffic on this line, it is wonderful to see the number of people that are going west. There are two through trains leave Montreal every day, that run double sections of about twelve coaches each, and overy one is packed full. On the way we saw two wrecks. The prin- cipal cause of many of these wrecks scoms to be rotten ties, allowing spikes to loosen and rails to spread, but railroad men keep very mum about them. You don't know of the half of them until you ride over their lincs and see where they happened. 1 was just talking with a man who came through from the Pacific coast on the Great Northern, and he said he saw a succession of wrecks all along the line, trains of cars rolled over dumps and smashed up. But, by the way, 1 must tell what was going on around me. On May 2nd, passing through a place called Wabigoon, mid- way between Fort William and Winni- peg, 1 saw teams ¢rossing a lake on ice, with heavy loads of grain on sleighs, and they said the ice was GAILY BRITISA WHI6, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22 10 am. wo reached i i where C a a io that little Okang- gan Valley, so of by real estate ms 5 rou difier- ence I felt in The mate a vo neat- of the Pacific a day, rid- ugh thie Sycamore line runs off 3. we couldn't two min- stand open < utes without nearly. perished, and yet the next ing down the Pacific slope we cou row windows and doors of the cars all open and bask in the sunshine. At 12:45 p.m. we reached Ashcroft, 204 miles from Vancouver. Here the old Cariboo trail leaves the C.P.R. for the mines in Northern British Columbia. At Lytton, 150 miles from Vancouver, the road erosses to the west side of the Fraser river' on an iron cantilever bri From _ this down to Vancou- ver is one of the most expensive pieces of road that ever was built on the continent, for it i# Nterally benched 'and tunnelled into an almost perpen- dicular precipice along the river's edge most of the way. Vancouver was reached at 9 p.m., after a run of four days and twenty Fours from Renfrew. Vancouver is a fine city with a good harbor, and is building considerable at present. It is said to contain some 135,000 inhabi- tants. I passed over the ground where the eity now Stands, in the spring of 1884, when it was covered with a dense forest. May Sth I left on a steamer for Vietoria, after a delay of three days, waiting for baggage. The steamer arrived at Victoria, at 6 p.m., after a run of five hours from Vancouver, a distance of eighty-four miles down the smooth, land-locked waters of the Gulf of Georgia. Thurs- day morning, May 9th, I took a trip !around the old town. KH was twenty- [three yoars this spring since I was | there before, and, of course, I find many changes. Victoria is, I believe, the prettiest town in Canada, and it certainly has the finest climate. Trees are all out in full leaf aml grass six and eight inches high by the Ist of May. Many English people with small incomes from home this place to any part of Canada to settle and live in, as the climate they say is much like their own in the south of Fng. land. Victoria at present is said to contain about 30,000 inhabitants and if the large island of Vancouver was agricultural land instead of a broken mass of rocks, this city would soon have half a million, but as it is there is po land back of it to support it. British Columbia and Vancouver Is- lands are osscntially mining and lum- bering countries, neither contain much agricultural land in comparison to their vast area on the map. Conse- quently living 'is more expensive in the towns out here than back in Ontario. May 10th, 1'left for Victoria on one of the coast liners, for San Francisco. That morning & large mail steamer arrived from Australia, with 400 pas- still twenty-six inches thick. On Friday morning, May 3rd, we reached Winnipeg, at three o'clock. Here we changed. trains for the west, and had about an hour's layover. 1 was bitterly cold. Portage la Prairie was the next important stop. Now wi got into fine land, soil that reminds me of the sugar-tane bottoms Louisiana. vl; Brandon, 7135 miles west of Wjhni- pegrwe pehched at 9 apd Také the land from Winnipeg t6 ns place, though there is some of the finest land on earth, there are also\ -some tracts of the poorest that can be found anywhere, consisting of hunpry, looming hills. From Brandon west to Regina, some 200 miles, there is much fine land, but it seems to be badly cut up with large bodies of dead, standing water, or lagoons. There didn't seem to be much seeding done. Most of the land seemed to lic wet. It was a very backward spring. We arrived in Regina at 8:30 p.m. This scemed to be quite a large town and point of distribution for a good sec- tion of country round about. It's about forty-five or fifty miles from the United -States boundary line. On Sa- turday moming, May 4th, the coun- try we were riding through seemed more rolling. Didn't sce much land under cultivation. It seemed to be lying ~ mostly.in stock ranges, but very few stock. We arrived in Medi- cine Hat about 10 a.m. This seemed to be quite a thriving little town of some 13,500 inhabitants, and about 660 miles west of Winnipeg. The country here seemed to be more high- lving land. or dry, rolling plains. Calgary we reached about 4 p.m. It's the largest town between Winnipeg and Vancouver and is said to contain some 15,000 people. It is building up fast and has some fine substantial structures. Here we entered the foot hills of the mountains, which are some eighty miles away, yet we could sce their snow-capped peaks plainly. As we neared the mountains where the country is more broken and sheltered, we saw more cattle. They scemied to have survived the bitter cold winter much better than on the bleak, open plains further east, yet the poor brutes look very thin and will take most of the summer to recuperate. At about sundown we entered the mountains. Truly it is a wild and rugged scenery here, winding up a canyon beside a mountain torrent, with almost perpendicular rocks ris- ing on, either side hundreds of feet. We reached the divide at 10 p.m The altitude here is 5,321 feet above sea level, here the water runs east to Hudson Bay and west to the Pacific. From this point the road descemds very rapidly to the west. Sunday morning, May 5th, we reached Revel stoke, where a branch line runs off to the south into the Kootenay country, to the mines. Speaking of timber, there are the finest forests of codar where we were 5% riding through that I ever suw, and much of it is burnt and wasted. Ht makes a person think how they would like to have a few ares of it back in Ontario.: 'At No more Alcohol 'As now made, Ayer's Sarsaparilladoes notcontain elt particle of alcohol in any form whatever.

We also had quite a number of Hindoos come on board. They were going down to Southern California and Arizona to work on the fruit ranches. They say it was too raw and cold and damp wp north, and they didn't like it. On May 13th, we arrived in San Francisco in the evening, after an unusually long and tedious passage of three days down the coast against heavy head winds. May 14th, I rise after a night's rest on shore to take a look around the city, to view the extent of the earth- quake and fire disaster of April 1st, 1906. Well T must say it is a terrible looking sight for one as well acquaint- od with the lay of the ¢ity as was, having heen in and out of old Frisco for the fast twenty-four years, but what struck me most was how well the city would have come out as far as the shake was concerned, if that terri- ble fire had not followed it up. Many nne buildings were never cracked at al, but that awful heat seemed to burn up and ruin everything. Beanti- ful granite fronts that came through the shake all right were all scaled off and ruined with the intense heat. Speaking of the rebuilding of the city, I muet say there has been wonderful progress made considering the great expense and difficulty in obtaining the (normous amount of different kinds of building material required, and in con- tending with arbitrary unions that seem to want ta retard the progress of the work. Evin now there is a street car strike on and several men have been killed already. The companies are bound to run the cars, and there is a large force of police trying to protect them, but the men that take the plades- of the strikers take their lives in their hands, when they step on the cars to run them. Some people in the east wonder if San Franciséo ever will be rebuilt. Well I should say so. I never saw so much construction wor going on anywhere in all my life. Tt ix not just on a few large buildings in the business centre, but it's all over the city alike. The vast pumber of then and teams to be seen working here is a wonderful sight--G.
