With the addition of the still larger steamers, “Empress of Canada” and ‘Empress of Australia,” sailings from Vancouver will now be so fre- quent as to provide in conjtmction with the Canadian Pacific Atlantic Em- presses a fortnightly through service from Europe. It is now recognized that the Canadian Pacific route to the Orient is quite as easy for the traveller as the all-5w. routes, and is, of course, much shorter. Yokdlam is reached from Britain in less than three weeks,- and Hong Kong in four weeks. The “Empress of Australia” is the biggest commercial vessel to pass through the Panama Canal.

The year 1887 saw the establishment of a regular trans-Pacific service, with three chartered steamships, the Batavia, the Parthia, and the Abyssinia. The latter's first outbound cargo consisted of 40 tons of freight. Three years later, in July, 1890, the Canadian Pa- cific concluded a contract with the Brit- ish Government providing for a small subsidy of £60,000 a year, with the services of three twin-screw steamships between Vancouver, Japan, and China. To fulfil the termsbf this contract, the Empress of India, the Empress of China, and the Empress of Japan were specially built. These steamers were of about six thousand tons each. gross register, and began their work in 1891. 1(311W3} 5.1.; the Canadian Pacific Steamships have been ' making record after record on the Pacific and are now many miles in the lead of other steam- ship and transporation concerns oper- ating on the Pacific. The idea of national parks origiu~ ated at a gathering of the Washburn- Langford expedition, which explorâ€" ed the Yellowstone in 1870.
