Adjournment ensued. ALONG THE BANFF WINDERMERE ROAD NLY a few short years ago the % noble Kootenay Columbia Valley + iwas- practically unknown. except to its few inhabitants. But no longer will this great silent vale. remain urknown and inaccessible, for blasted out of the rock and hewed through the gréat for- ests of pines there has been built a high- way, a great motor road, which will be opened officially to the tourists next vear. This will be known as the Banff Windermere Road. It follows a route from Banff, through the Vermillion and _ Sinclair passes to the Windermere dis- trict of the Columbia Valley, a dis- tance of some eighty miles. On it the traveller will follow the most wonder- ful succession of peaks, ravines and valleys on the North American contin ent, rivalling in rugged splendor those seen along the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. In the late Summer, under the direc- tion of L. O. Armstrong, the well- town Canadian lecturer, and under the "auspices of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, 'there started from Banff a party of writers and camera men. This was the first party privileged to traverse the new highway by the pack train method of transit, and probably the last as the road is practically completed. Marble Canyon was the first side trip of the party, this being some two miles off the main road and so named because of the grey marble rocks that form its _ sides. Looking into the abysmal depths of this narrow gorge, the presence of the mad torrent below could only be de- tected by a cloud of spray-mist and the rumbling of the rushing water. In the vicinity of Marble Creek, a mile or so from the main road, on the mountain side, are the Vermillion paint pots. ; a These are three holes some seven of eight feet deep, filled with water of three colors, ochre, red (Vermillion) and green, the coloring being due probably to deposits of the soluble oxides of iron and copper. ® These combina- tions have are 'equal to the finest commercial paints. Tt is known that the Kootenays long before the advent of the white man used these colorings to decorate their tepees with weird designs and adorn their bodies with "War, Paint" hefore attacking their enemies. The In- dians, too, were the first to commercial- ize these valuable deposits, and bartered formed natural pigments that Th 2107, LD ILE fs > ps these pigments with southern tribes for corn and even for the shells of Mexico. The next bit of journey, some 15 miles, was through the Vermillion pass' ----still along the road. Many writers have essayed the description of moun- tain roads--Iong pine avenues with their lights and shadows; on either side snow capped peaks flung against the * sky, these flanked by high foot hills topped with burnt forests, where dead pines twining and intertwining their dead® branches form a great drape of grey lace. Above and below are streams---, tumbling torrents--water falls--sptings that bubble from the rocky sides and, send their silver streams to swell the volume of turbulent creek. And linger- ing over all is the odor of the pines and always the inspiration of Nature's sublimest creations -- the mountains themselves, : At Vermillien crossing for the first time the party left the road, fer it is in this vicinity that the last bit is being completed, some seven miles. Resuming the journey' next day, the pack train following the most direct route forded and deforded the tortous fiver, then climbed up some hundreds of feet and was once again on the road. Here the traveller realized just what an amazing piece of engineering build- ing this highway was. The party proceeded through the Ver- million pass into the Kootenay Valley and camp was pitched at Kootenay Crossing, already a well known and used camping ground that boasts the modern conveniences of a rustic table. poles for tents, nearness to water, and all the facilities that make camping pleasant. Here, too, are the first traces of the incoming settler, the smoke of clearing, the little cabin, the transform- ing of bush into farm land. The 'Kootenay Valley is connected to the Coluinbia via the Sinclair Pass, used for years by the Indians, who after in- cursions into the rich lands of the Ver- million and Kootenay, where moose, elk and other game still abound, crossed the Divide to visit the hot springs now known as the Radium Hot Springs. For seven miles the pack train slowly, ascended to the summit of the pass, the' exact spot being marked by a little emerald lake known as Summit Lale. For the first time maples, already touched by mountain frosts and flaming by the road sides, were noticed. The 1 | § { ful and law-abiding, living by hunting.

These springs are 2500 feet above the sea level, and have been valued for their. medicinal qualities by the few who know them.

Ie Railway News Winnipeg.--Claiming this year's record for an early shipment of grain, the Lake of the Woods Mill- ing Company on August 3rd moved the first car of mew wheat to the head of the lakes. The grain, which game from the farms of John Sie- mens and M. Wodlinger, of Rosen- fold, Man., graded No. 1 northern of fine quality. It was shipped from the Lake of the Woods elevator at Rosenfeld over the Canadian Pacific Railway to the Lake of the Woods mill at Keewatin. : August 8 is considered the earliest date in a number of years that grain has been moved east. Carelessness by automobile drivers '{ at railway crossings is still pre- valent. On every occasion the motorists come off second best. The railways are doing all in their power If they were enly met half way many fatalities ' § would be avoided and many auto- mobiles and limbs saved from the operating theatre. A few days ago at Ayr, Ontario, a man named W. Zehr was driving south in a Grant automobile across Northumberland Street. He ran into the side of a train, striking it behind the locomotive. As a result of the impact Mr. Zehr's automobile was badly broken, but the injury to the train was slight. switching at the time of the occur- rence. Prescott.--The Canadian Pacific Railway offers two scholarships per applied science to minor sons of employees. This year there were 16 candidates in the contest, which was held last month, comprising students from Halifax, N.S., to Victoria, B.C. George Harold Kingston of Prescott received the highest number of marks, winning one of the 'scholar- ships, which means free tuition at McGill College, Montreal," for five years. Mr. Cyril Nerontses, of Vice toria, B.C., won second place. Calgary.--Ronald W. Greene, of Winnipeg, who . was recently ap-. pointed assistant general agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway ocean traffic, with headquarters here, has arrived in the city to take over his' duties here. Mr. Green will have offices in the C. P. R. depot and will handle all Atlantic and Pacific steamship business in the Province of Alberta. W. C. Casey, general agent of the passenger department of the C.P.R. ocean traffic recently arrived in the | city. While discussing ocean traffic, Mr. Casey said that the two new steamships, the "Em- press of Canada" and the "Empress of Australia" on the Pacific coast' gun, has ensured a 25-day service between Hong Kong and London He said that Orient pas- genger traffic was reasonably fair at the present time and believed that traffic would be very heavy in the fall, both to and from the Orient. Vancouver. -- With every hotel along the Canadian Pacifie Railway taxed to capacity, and with the coastwise steamship offices report- ing a greater volume of travel than ever before in their history, Western Canada is enjoying a tourist traffic this. year that has never been equalled in past seasons. "During the past few days it has "been mecessary for the majority of the hotel motor buses to make four and five trips to the hotels from the steamers in order to accommodate the incoming passengers, and the trains both from the east and from "local points have been similarly well. filled with visitors. "Tourist traffic over C.P.R. west- ern lines is far greater than it was ! in 1921," said General Passenger ¢ Agent H. W. Brodie on his return * from an inspection trip which car- { { pied him as far as Banff. "Travel §8 now at its full height and many Americans are seeing Canada. Trains ( both east and westbound are well i filled, and Western Canada is enjoy- ing a great summer season." © All the mountain resorts along line of the C.P.R. are being well patronized, and the Arrow © Lakes and Okanagan scenic points © are also the Mecca for hundreds of tourists from the American side. Boats bound for Alaskan ports every / trip, Vancouver Island and' Seattle and loaded to capacity The opening of the Banff-Lake Louise road through the mountains has done much to bring a large vol- ume of auto tourist traffic to Can- ada this year, state C. P. R. officials, and when the Banff-Windermere highway is opened this fall it is ex- pected that there will be another verted through British Columbia. «Many cars are coming from Spokane and Seattle up through Lethbridge into Banff "and Lake Louise," says Col. Clarence Lougheed of Calgary, "and when the . high- way right through the mountains js completed both Alberta and Brit- ish Columbia will get a large volume of auto traffic annually. Hundreds of cars have come through Alberta this year, and they would continue, on and return to the United States by way of Vancouver if the roads Alberta autoists are also anxiously awaiting the completion of tha roads through and it will un- doubtedly mean a big thing every year to Dxitish Columbia." irgs. These Indians are now peace-: fishing, farming and stock raising. From the Hot Springs to Lake Win- dermere the source of the Columbia River is only a distance of fourteen miles and there the party arrived eight days from the time it started, as sched: uled. z : : The Dryden Observer Weekly Published at DRYDEN ONTARIO J.
