Along the,Fr-user river and on the islands at its mouth large dykes are built which serve the purpose very successfully. though they are “.8 must he expected a continuous expense to the farmer on account of constant repairing. Besides at times as in 1894 and very probably this year they break down and are entirely destroyed. In the Ktunlopps country which I have visited and I am told also in the Okanogan and Spallumacheen countries they can grow almost anything it they can get the. water. The climate is warm and the summer season is long, the chief trouble IS the water costs high. Still farming and especially gardening is a very paving business. notwithstand- ing the cost and trouble of irrigating, for the produce of the soil commands such good prices my. country like this where there is comparatively so little of it raised. J. A. MATHESO‘S. There is nothing that strikes you more forcibly in this country than its great distances and huge mountains. At present we are located 4600 feet above. the sea level, and yet', as far as the eye can reach and a great. deal fur- ther mountains pierce the clouds. One of tiny .lirothers left here to-day for his mine which is 2000 fr. higher up than we are. After we left the Aeserrrhly we have travelled for nearly three days as taut as train and steamer could car " us. through mountains. over'mountaitw or alongside mountains and after all we are in the very heart of the mountains yet. British Columbia. north. south. ettst and West is virtually a. sea of moun- tains. From Calgary to the Pacific. a distance of MO miles. and from the Amer icon boundary to the Arctic Ocean the same view resents itself to the eye, and yet travelling is made as easy and comfortable and safe as on the level prairie. Nothing seems impossible for the skill of man to accomplish. by steam. electricity; compressed air and various forms of uman ingenuity. the widest chasms are bridged. the most in- accessible places are. levelled and made a highway. _ - _ - _ At present the Alrowhend Lakes, on which we snail from Nakusp to Robson. a. day's sail. are risen 30 feet above the ordinary low water mark. The land along the lakes Is comparatively low and level and is now in some places under water. In fact we have seen houses in which the people can only live upstairs - they must, have boats in which to visit their neighbors. In cer- tain places our steamer went in among the trees a. good distance from the ordi- nary shore, in order to effect a landing. At one place I noticed a field of straw- berries at the waters edge, but on nmk~ ing inquiries I found that, we were proh- ahly in the middle of IL. The steauner sailed tight over them. 7 Every country has its inconveniences tutddrdwhackn. In B.

As we were coming down the Column bin river the othevday we noticed the train running on its course on A plane m we imagined, that must, be half way up io the moon. We could just see. it that wits yll. _Evttybody on law-d ex- -..- .eeite __--. -e-- - -ee -. _._ “Hm. ___ pressed his astonishment at such un- ooked foe sight. 66 How wonderful," .. how unsafe." .. what it dangerous place to trayel" were expressions heard on every side. Next day however we discovered that we ourselves had to go that way. groin-j higlier'tnd higherun- til we reach our present attitude. on our way up w, had an opportunity of seeiz'g one of the steamers on the Col- umbia for she appointed to us as a mere speck upon the blue Waters. for 1800 feet above hiwpve were sped along up the side of the mountain as fuel its the loco. motive could take us. Still there was veiy little danger. for the railway bed is solid rock and besides this, there is more caution exercised with the result that. accidents do not happen as often as in less dangerous places. Still there is a peculiar sensation felt at least the fiptrt time vou look down from your car win. dow upon the tops of the tallest trees in all the world. now far below you. You know that if an accident did hit pen it would be a must terrible one. N‘hthing could possibly save you from a certain death if the train went off the track. The worst places however are not in the mountains, but especially at. this time of the. year. in the valleys below and by the sides of the rivers and of the. lakes. From Revelstoke to AI rowhend Lake. a. distance of 30 miles, we had to travel by steamer instead of' train because Pot" tions of the railways are under water and portions have been wasted away hv the freshers. 1n the neighborhood of Nelson we went at least. a mile on a track that is cotupletely snlnnergetl. In the Glows Nest. Pass large. bridges have been swept away. The waters increase. especially in June, by lllt' "whim,' of snow in the mountains and they come down with such tettitie force that noth- ing can stand in their wear-tneu, cattle, houses. bridges often meet the some sad fate. and yet it is very seldom that travellers are put, to much inconveni- ence. scowsund other means of trans- portation are provided so that you are not delayed for any length of Liane.
