No. 1 was a short, stout unassuming Canadian of un- certain age, one of those men who say little, travel much, and have a keen smut for adventure. He was one of the first men into the Klon- dike and' for 'some years now has been driving the mail over that long dangerous ride of some 450 miles >from White Home to Dawson City. Should fortune ever take you to Dawson you will find him during the “breaking-up" season driving; a string of dogs, seated on a low sledge with His Majesty’s mail, smoking a short clay pipe, between puffs giving ex- tracts of philosophy, moral and oth- erwise, gained by many years of, close contact with the strenuous life. ' Then there Was Mac, the man from Glengarry, another quiet chap of thei mature age of twenty, who had been‘ in the woods since he was fourteen, during which‘time he had fOIIOWed the blazed trail through Ottawa dis- trict and Michigan and Wisconsin had crossed the prairie afoot (rail- way fares being exorbitant) and Was now waging war on the tall tim-] bers of British Columbia, a hand-1 some fellow of splendid reserve, mag-‘ nificent physique and with a well-1 poised mind that showed the efl’ects of early Gle‘ngarry training. He had a beautiful swing of hip and shoulder. The other man of course was the pioneer of British Columbia, the old youngish miner, for fiction to the contrary, a miner’s life is the hard- est on record ; for with untirlng en-j ergy he pursues the elusive ore,‘ through dark passages and up im- possible heights, living on flour and water or a. piece of fat bacon, lying in the o‘pen, often infthe'rain, more often in the snow ; so a man soon grows old in the service and the‘ gray hairs come prematurely. I might‘ also mention the English remittance man in the same car, but he put on airs and held aloof from .uar set so he escapes. - Q , I 4‘1.

Lying at the foot of the mountains and on one of the finest natural harbors in the world, being the terminus of the C.P.R.- and the Mecca. of all the trade of the west, you have at once a beautiful combination of the commercial and the picturesque. Big steamers and sailing vestels from every port in crews of every hue and tongue. A large proportion of the city is com- posed of C'hinamen and Japanese, the former stoicâ€"countenanced and self-possessed. the_latter bright, Am- erican-dressed, and a far too danger- ous rivals of the white man. Then there is the constant floating pop- ulation of travellers for thna, Ja- pan and Australia, of miners from the far north, of deep-sea fishermen, of lumbermtn and of Jack ashore. 'lhera are oriental curio shops to poke into, men from all partsoi the world to converse with and charac- ttl‘S wit-h )ut number. The laboring portion drinks its beer and talks Socialism and that other mysterious thing knoWn as British Columbia pol- ‘itics, all of which will afford you lentertainment as xaried as it is amu- lsing. Then there is that full-llooded .broadâ€"shouldered class of Englishmen ’to meet who talk athletics, read ‘ Ralph Dolderwood .‘nd Guy Boothlcz :not the oqjcctionable type but men 'with wholesome minds and bodies. And not the least interesting feature in Vancouver is her women. They are clear-complexioned and fond of out-door life, talk with a charming accent and are possessed of the pret- ticst manners in the world. They are constant readers and besides be- ing able to talk on the last‘copyâ€" iright, can discuss a little seience and lalso tell you things you had for- ‘gotten from Spencer’s "First Prin- ltiplw” or “Data. of Ethics." Alto- gether Vancouver people are charm- ing. Back in the Territories people do more or less posing, put on more false airs and cultivate that languid bored air you know, but in Vancou- ver people are more free and natural and not afraid of their convictions: all of which perhaps is more true o! the West than it is of the East.- Although so far removed from the centre of things, one of the remark- able things that .strike one about Vancouver is the intense Canadian- ism of her citizens. In close con- tazt with the coast cities of the‘ States one would think that some at the U. S. sentiment would take root. Not'so ; Vancouver people are more 'British and more ultra-loyal and anti-American than the citizens of Toronto ; so much so that they will hardly buy an American article that they can get elsewhere, and will ‘ not read an American edition of a book if they can get an English or Canadian edition. Apart from their ; antipathy to things American, West- 'ern Canada. takes a. deeperand broader interest in things pertaining to Canada as a. whole than the East and when‘ Eastern Canada follows her example and drops her pea-nut politics, the Dominion will come clo- ser to assuming national dignity.

TEE ROCKIES . There are many things that cannot be described on paper and among others the Rocky Mountains. The 3Rockies are a standing refutation of the theory that anticipation is bet- ter than 'realizatiOn; and whooping it up the glacier one day “our gang”; all thought much better of the seno‘ timental young lady (stunning she would have called herself) who posed in the observation car and who for- got to daub her sketching paper with cartoons of the noble peaks. Thus did the old Rockies dangle another compliment at its belt. CHARLIE .SUTHERLAND. Seattle.
