Convention, Portland, • Writes Experience We left Chicago, via the Minneapolis," St. Paul & SaulteSte. Marie about 10:30 p. m. Sunday, July 24th on a» special train with about 140 delegates and visitors from Chicago and vicinity and arrived at St. Paul at 11 a. m. Monday forenoon, remained there 40 minutes,, to continue our journey through Minnesota and North Dakota, arriving at Portal, the International Boundary at 6 a. m. on Tuesday. Standing upon the station platform we could look into Canada, just across the road. Here we set our watches back one hour to mountain time. Ten to twenty minute stops were made at Moose Jaw, Swift Current, and Medicine Hat, where we get our extreme cold weather from. It was getting dark when we .left Medicine Hat and arrived at Banff at 7:15 on ing over boulders and rocks. After a few more hour's travel, we came to a less mountainous tract, and followed the shores of Shuswap Lake for 18 mile^, soon thespafter we entered the Silkirk Ranger but as it was growing dark, we did not see much of this range until early Saturday morning. At 6:30 a. m. we arrived at Vancouver a city of 245.000 and the terminal of the Canadian Pacific Ryt We were allowed to 8 a. m. for breakfast and met at the station and given an auto trip through the city, and Stanley Park, at the west end of which we had our first look at the great Pacific Ocean. The city and especially the park teemed with Indian history. We were now 2294 miles from Chi the granite that was blasted out of the rock for the grotto. Next we came to a place called Crown Point, where a stop was made, 725 feet above the river, and from where Mt. Hood could be plainly seen, 40 miles east. Descending from Crown Point we make the Figure Eight with its eight loops and come to Latourell Falls with a drop of 227 feet. Next we pass Shepard's Dell, Bishop's Cap and Mist Falls. A stop was made at Wahkeena Falls, and then the Multnomah Falls, with two drops ,one 541 feet and the lower 69 feet. Next in order Oneonto Gorge, Horse Tail Falls Cathedral Spires and St. Peter's Dome. Acros's the river one may see Beacon Rock in the state of Washcago. At 10 a. m. Saturday we arrived i ington and above it Table Mountain. at a dock in Puget Sound, where we boarded a steamer for Victoria, arriving at" 8 p. m. Here again autos were at the dock and drove us through the town, which, has a population of 60.000 and is known as the Garden City of Canada. Vegetation here is most unusual. Among the oddest are Blue Hydrangea, Mountain Ash, Wednesday morning. The , countrj , hedgewood trimmed into the strangest through North Dakota and Saskatchewan, Canada, was unusually flat and even for hundreds of1 miles, meeting the first mountain early Wednesday mbirting after passing through Calgary, and increasing in height until we reached Banff, in Glacier National shapes, Madrona trees, which are never without leaves but shed their bark three to four times a year, look very much like an apple tree, except Arrived at Bonneville, we were treated to a Salmon barbecue by Port, land council, which was delicious, the fish having been caught that morning, most of them weighing 40 pounds. On Tuesday morning at 10 a. m. His Excellency the Most Rev. Pietro Fumasoni- Biondi, Papal Delegate, celebrated Solemn Miss and His Grace the Most Rev. Edward D. Howard, Bishop of Portland delivered a very splendid sermon.. After Mass all paraded back to the hotel where we dispersed. After dinner another Mr, Klein from Chi- Ranges. We spent all day Wednes day at Banff. Autos and busses conveyed our party from the station to Banff* Springs Hotel, where rooms were reserved for us. At 10 a. m, we were taken for a sightseeing trip, where we encountered wild life in "its primitive form.

No contributions wfere made into the Injured Firemen's Fund during the past week. It is hoped that the returns from the carnival staged by the Fire Department, September 3, 4 and 5, will be sufficient to make up the present shortage of fl,900 required to purchase a fire truck. It is hard to understand why no one seemed to be interested in the Firemen's fund which is to provide relief for the three injured men. It is an assured fact that hospital* and medical attention indebtness for these men will total very near $1,000 to say nothing of their loss of time from their regular occupations. Can we expect men to volunteer their services in this most assuredly hazardous occupation of firemen, and then when they suffer injuries, physically and financially, calmly stand by and make no efforts. to provide some relief ? Can we expect other men to generously offer their services in the protection of our property in the future, knowing that injuries in the performance of their, • duty will create a personal loss to them that will not be appreciated or recomperisated ? It is realized that our citizens are continually called upon to donate for thiB and donate for that cause, but let us realize that this drive for funds of either a fire truck or the payment of our moral obligation to the men who offer their services without anj thought of personal welfare or of any financial compensatio.n, are cause; that demand the most generous support of every citizen. It is unfortunate that our city is not in a position to assume all of these obligations and that the 'burden must rest on public contribution. That fact does not pro vide the remedy for the presen: emergency, even though it should serve as a guide for future municipal operations. The burdens i#~>t upor Ora P. Taylor, secretary of the society states that Walworth county will haVe a fair this yeaf! in which its residents may take a 'great deal of" pride. One of the best features of the fair this year should be the horse show; a feature that has at ways held a part in the annual exhibition but which has taken a pleasing turn with the addition of the fancy saddle horse department. Foremost among the amusement is the ten thousand dollar raciifg program. The purses for the five days of racing to a total of $10,250 and the size of the prize money coupled with the popular racing rule^ in force now has filled thQ racing docket to the last line. Some of the finest horses, many of which have seen Grand Circuit racing, will compete at the fair. The baseball games which are called every morning at 9:45 o'clock in the midfield diamond, have been a distinct asset to the fair and have proven to be one of the greatest drawing cards of the whole program. Because of the wide publicity given the Rock- Walworth baseball league this year and the class of ball that has been played by those teams baseball fans need only a hint to the effect that there's going to be a "process of elimination" between these teams at the fair to determine the winner. Whitewater and East Troy teams are likewise represented in the ball contests and several "up sets" are expected. Robinson's Revue which the advance men afe in the. habit of "a gorgeous galaxy of beautiful girl^ in dazzling costumes and _ fantastic stage settings" hold much of promise r 3! for musical comedy fans. The" pro- v duction is worthy of its place among -igthe headliners of the Walworth County Fair's extensive free attraction ...v.* program. The Revue will be held on .* Monday, Wednesday and Thursday ;;f eveningB and on Tuesday evening a :, great fireworks display will be pre-1 sented. On Thursday evening the f: stock parade will be held. •pij.OI FEDERAL AGENTS AGAIN VISIT McHENRY COUNTY Federal agents visited a number of places in McHenry county again last s Saturday afternoon and raids wera made on parlors in McHenry, Burton's Bridge, Fox River Grove and others. * Warrants were served on the proprie- h tors, charging violation of the pro-1 hibition law.

Here the snow from the north edge of Lake Louise, appeared to be about 10 feet deep, then through a binocular it seemed about 50 to 60 feet, but on inquiry was told that it was 162 feet deep, the accumulation of 12 years, a snow slide the year previous having swept it clean to the rock. Lake Louise is about three miles long and one and one-half wide, a beautiful bojdy of water, also of a bluish-green caste. The Chateau (or hotel) is also very beautiful. The season, as also at the Banff Spring® Hotel, is about three months, or from the middle of June to the middle of September, so you may imagine what the rates are. I was told that $24.00 ^ day was the usual charge. The principal mountains around Lake Louise are: Saddleback, 7.783 feet, Fairview. 9.001 feet. LeFroy, 11,220 feet, Victoria, 11,355 feet, Whyte, 9.776 feet, Devil's Thumb, 8,066 feet. Big Beehive, 7,440 feet, Niblock, 9.754 feet. St. Piran, 8,681 feet and Little Beehive, 7,110 feet. Two other men of the party and myself started to ascend the Big Beehive, and after two and one-half hour's climb gave up, as there was more than an hour's walk to the summit. Again onB.Thursday evening a dance for onr party was given at the Chateau, after which we were taken back to the sleepers on a narrow gauge railway, where we spent the night. All bell hops at Banff and Lake Louise are Japanese. For Friday our itinerary said: "Now for the Rockies." Our special train left Lake Louise at 8:30 a. m. where an observation car was attached to the rear of our train, which gave one a splendid view of the mountain sides, which were thickly covered with Pine. Spruce, Cedar, Fir, Cottonwood, Bull Pine.and Jack Pine. Six miles west of Lake Louise is the "Great Divide" which is the highest altitude reached by the Canadian Pacific R. R., namely 5*298 feet and the boundary between Alberta and British Columbia, and marked by a rustic arch spanning a stream, part of the water flowing east and part west. From here the rescent is steady for miles through Kicking Horse Valley and for a stretch oc several miles it appeared as if the water ran up hill. We next pass through Connaught Tunnel, which lowered the passage of the train over 550 feet and eliminated several difficult passes. "The tunnel is 5 miles and 1000 feet long, took three years and eight months to build and cost $3,800,000 and is through Mt. McDonald. It has double tracks the entire length, but we had to leave the observation car as there is so much dripping in many places, that our clothes might be ruined. Soon we came to Albert Canyon, a deep fissue in solid rock, through which flows the Illecillewtat River angriUy roat- Columbia Highway to Bonneville, a distance of forty miles, along the scenic Columbia River, passing the Portland Unit of the Shriner's hospital for crippled children, close by is the sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother, with a grotto containing an altar, where Mass is said daily with pulpit communion rail, floor, etc., built from point, where a battery of Yellow Cgbs took us to a most beautiful Crf'iedral. after Mass, the same cabs took us to the station, and on we went through Wisconsin, making a forty-minute stop at Milwaukee, where our Worthy Lecturer and delegates to the national convention left the train, while on we went to dear old Illinois, arriving in Chicago Sunday night at 9:20 o'clock, and to McHenry Monday on the 4:49 somewhat poorer, somewhat wiser, but not regretting one turn of a trip of 5,214 miles, back home where we are treated the best and grumble the most.
