You look at the artist's sketch and he has done his best to impresss you with the tremendous masses of rock. He piles e rea) mountains are different. There are wide valleys. The mountains are t. This brings you to your disappointment, for until you reach the "Great Divide" the mountains seem smaller than you expected. This fact is accentuated because you are gradually rising from sea level and when you see a 7000 ft. mountain it may be at some distance and you may be some 3500 ft. above sea level. After you reach the "Great Divide", however, all this is changed as you travel west. You see the mountains in their grandeur and forbidding ruggedness. If you ever wish to find out how small you are just look up at such mountains as Mt. Robson, Mt. Stephen and Mt. Baker. And yet, mighty as the mountains are, the rivers and man have conquered them. Most amazingly has he climbed the mountain heights. Consider the Connaught Tunnel--five miles long, double tracked, piercing Mt. MacDonald, a great rock a mile high, saving miles of difficult climbing, and curvatures equal to It cost fifteen million dollars. That tunnel was started at opposite ends and the engineers met in the centre striking the cut within an inch. For engineering skill, the spiral tunnels are even more wonderful than the five mile Connaught Tunnel. The train winds in the most suprising manner around these mountains; and you see railway, tracks hundreds of feet below: you: 'and a 8 hole ina distant mountain, You do not in the least expect ever to ride on that track or go through that hole in the rock; but by a hairpin turn within a few minutes you are doing what seems to be 8 iputaiblc.

The to the park is one of the most superb in Canada. I had] on looking for big trees while going through the Rockies, and had been dissappointed. Here we found a few, but not as many as we had expected. For the great stands of Douglas fir, and British Columbia cedar, one has to go further afield to where the Jjumber man has had no access. Of course there are some show trees, through one of which you drive on the sight seeing bus; and there is a wealth of the timber of the size-seen in our Ontario forests; but giants have disappeared in large measure. > An interesting side trip is found at Capilano Gorge. - Here the river has cut its way through the rock; and has produced scenery of great rugged beauty. Both Ee Gorge at Vancouver, and Maligne Gorge in . Jasper Park, give some idiea of the vastness of the work which the rushing torrents do as they cut their way through immense rocks. 8 is particularly noticeable at the Maligne Gorge, where the fissure is not more than a few feet wide in places, but appears to be hundreds of feet deep. It is an awe inspiring sight to see the cascades and rushing streams tearing their way through to gome unknown destination. One has to step carefully here for a false move might precepitate one headlong to.certain death. Tt is surprising, however, how you can adapt yourself to the sur- roundings, and do things which under ordinary circumstances 'would give you some pause. Naturally this rapid transit trip has many handicaps. We uly caught the fringes of Vancouver's attractions.

Among the most noticeable of these trees is the monkey tree, a member of the auracaria family.

Brown, ren 'of Oshawa, with Mrs. Bickle; On the Great Lakes \ REUNION OF OLD ONTARIO FAMILY On August 3rd, there gathered at the village of Brooklin, descendants of the old Irish Pioneers of John and Robert Brown, who left County Cavan, Ireland, and landed in Montreal, in 1820, and settled for a time in the County of Lanark, near the town of Bytown, now the city of Ottawa. They took up farming and stock droving. In 1830 and the following two or three years, the entire families, composing at that time about twenty- five persons, came west into the town- ship of Reach, and took up farms on the 1st, 8th, 9th, 13th, and 14th con- cessions, and from this start the fam- ilies have grown to large assembly of descendants who gathered to renew old acquaintances and meet new mem-/ bers who came from distant points, such as Amityville, N.Y., Winnipeg, and . MacGregor, Manitoba, North Dakota, Orillia, and many points in the County of Ontario. The gathering spent the afternoon with ball games and other sports and a short program of speeches from the several branches of the family, viz. Geo. A. Brown, Amityville, N.Y., Drs. John and James Moore, Brooklin, Geo. Brown, Brooklin; Rev. Mr. Powell, Uxbidge, Sam Brown, Winnipeg, A. Brown, Oshawa, Jas.' Blanchfrd, M. P. P. North Ontario, Wm. Carruthers, Toronto. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs, Geo. Brown, Winnipeg, Mr. Sam. Brown, MacGregor, Mrs, Mary Nel- Amityville, N.Y.,, Rev. Mr. Powell, Uxbridge, Mr. Ben. Brown and family of Rochester, N.Y. Mrs, Bodley, Pefferlaw. There were two hundred and twenty-five in all. The re-union will be held next year the first Monday in August at the town of Qrillia: The officers elected for the ensuing year were: President, G. A. Brown, Amityville, N.Y.; Vice President, John Brown, Toronto; Secretary, George Brown, Brooklin; Committee, N. C. Brown, Alf. Hewitt, Robt. Brown, O. Brown, Alex. Brown, Rev. Mr. Powell was appointed Chaplin of the Brown Clan. HARVEST FESTIVAL at the home of Mr. Thos. Druean, one nile east of Seagrave, on Tuesday afternoon and evening, August 18th.

Y. WC. A., churches, municipal buildings, Parliament Buildings, the Provincial College, the Lieut. -Govenor's residence, excellent streets, stores, factories, and warehouses. One of the finest transportation structures is the two tier high level bridge over the North Saskatchewan River, It is an immense structure of great strength, and is of great value to citizens. Mayfair golf course, and MacDonald Hotel show what can be done for first- class entertainment, The fact that the North Saskatchewan River flows through the city adds much charm to the scenery. Because of the presence of the moisture provided by the River, there is an abundance of trees, some of them of good size, The homes of the eople are of unusual architectural beauty and give evidence of prosperous conditions. While in Edmonton we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ed. Dunk, formerly of Port Perry. He is doing a fine business in the manufacture of clothing specialties, such as cadet uniforms, ete. For quite a while this spring Mr. Dunk was ill; but is greatly improved in health now. CALGARY The ride on the C.N.R. between Edmonton and Calgary re- vealed a much better crop condition than that which exists in Southern Saskatchewan. There is a good crop expected. Grain, while not as far advanced as in Ontario, makes a good showing and barring accidents will give a bumper crop. Calgary city has just been a head liner in the papers as the place in which "The Stampede" was held. We were too late to see this sensational spectacle; but not too late to take a ramble through the city; see its Chinatown, and wonder what sort of a time the census taker would have in obtaining information. Bowness Park--eight miles out from Calgary--is the play- ground of the city. It is somewhat similar to High Park in To- ronto, has more water scenery, has made more provision for the children in playground equipment. THE TRIP HOME At Calgary, we re-joined the C. P. R. after a most enjoyable journey on the C. N. R. from Vancouver, by way of Jasper Park and Edmonton. C. N. R. service is: excellent, and the observation car on their trans-continental train is a wonder of modern con- struction and decoration. It is hard to believe that so much beauty and comfort can be found in a rushing railway train coach. No important event took place on the return journey. The time was happily employed in sorting out: notes and writing de- scriptions of scenes, events, and conditions. Of course, we learned much more than we have told; but a difficulty always con- fronts any person who attempts to describe that which is passed rapidly. A lovely lake, a rugged mountain, a prosperous village, a brave attempt to garden among the rocks--these flit by in end- less panorama, and have no location in the mind. Even where we took photographs it was not always easy to identify them. We have some eighty of these, and have most of them named; but occasionally one eludes us. This being the case it is difficult ta give detailed discriptions. One fact stands out clearly--our people as a whole are brave and industrous. They are building a great country with much of the courage that was shown by our own pioneer forefathers. They build roads, hew forests, break prairies, build cities--all with the faith and fine spirit offgood citizens. Canada owes these a debt of gratitude for their nation building work. From Halifax to Vancouver the people are daily adding to our national equip-~ ment. BACK HOME When all is said and done, there's no place like home. Here we have trees, and crors, and flowers, and settled habits. Here we are blessed with reliable climate, and comfortable conditions of life. 3 Last, but not least, we have not seen in all our travels a more beautiful little.town than Port Perry. We have plenty of trees, clean streets, smart stores, and fine well-kept residences. Any citizen of Port Perry may well be proud of his home town. -- -- e Modern Auto Transportation Headed by a sport coupe driven by Strength, dignity, beauty, and comfort R. M. McIntyre, director of cere- monies, the General Motors Caravan of Chevrolet trucks entered Port Perry promptly at 11.30 a.m. Saturday --Here they were joined by the Port Perry Band and paraded to the water front where the display and demon- are in all their lines. Two Semi-Trailers--""Sawyer-Mas- sey" ($2410) and "Dominion" ($2326) with heavy duty chassis showed what splendidly built trucks there are in the Chevrolet line for heavy freight. There were also "Welles" Hi-lo Six 'Bob' Hawkshaw, our local speed-cop and a Provincial officer from Niagara Falls. : Outstanding, in this galaxy of fine trucks, was the "Bickle" Fire Engine ($3,000). Everybody agreed that Port Perry should have one of these if we could only rake up the money; and general surprise was expressed that s0 efficient an equipment could be bought for so reasonable a sum. The "Commercial Motor Bodies" Refrigerator ($1729) is an attractive dnd well appointed truck, eminently suited to ice cream and similar trades.
