SIDELIGHTS OF THE IS RE AT ? ? WEST * Leaving Glacier station at 7:30 a. m. Aug. 19th we Immediately plunged into the Great Connought Tunnel, named lor the Duke of Connought then Governor General of Canada. This tunnel Is exactly Ave miles long perfectly straghl, then Mt. Mac Don ald that towers one mile- above it. It is doubled tracked 29 feet wide and 27 feet 6 inches from base to crown, the largest and longest tunnel in America. The building of this tunnel reduced the length of the road 4 1-2 J miles and dispensed with 4 miles ofi snow sheds. We began another day of unrivalled i mountainous scenic splendors. With I two observation cars and a long open I .trailer on rear of train, the day was None of changing windows. Following the canyon of the Beaver Rlvar, V>me tlmee a thousand feet above the river itream, thru many narrow gorges, /across Stony Creek on a bridge 312 feet high, then across Cedar Creek on a bridge so high above it that is call ed the Surprise. . We crossed the Beaver River at Beaver Mouth then crosjsed the Dog Tooth range of moun tains into the upper canyon of the Columbia River, flowing south to the United States. We followed the can- | yon for many miles amid the wildest | scenery in America. Never out of sight of snow capped mountains, gla ciers, endless gorges, canyons and .waterfalls, until one's head becomes dizzy, and the imagination runs riot, amid the ever changing scenes, be. Tond the compass ot adequate des cription. The social activities of the! party were in full blast in the con cluding days of our great trip. Each | section had its Beau Brummel and | Court Jestor,- and several L?orenzos ] whispered their vows to attentive Jes sicas. Many midsummer romances' flourished like a green bay tree, to die ] and to end with the journey. At | Field, on the line between British Co lumbia and Alberta, we passed one of the wonder spots of the line, with Kicking Horse River in gorge on one | ^ide of the road and Mount Stephen lowering more than a mile above it. -OChis is located in the Yoko Park, one ? oMv, five Imperial parks in Canada. ! wlllcnV contains the Takakkan* Falls 1200 feW high. The railroad here is at the e\d of a grade, having climbed 1500 feet Vi 35 miles. FYom Field to the Great SDivlde 14 miles the road climbs a Aiarter of a mile thru the i Kicking Hcrse Pass. Here we passed thru the wonderful spiral tunnels. FYom the west the track enters the first tunnel 2900 feet long, under Mt. Ogden 8795 feet high, and afyr turning a complete ?circle and Msslng above itseir, comes out 60 f*t higher, then turns westerly ciygsing the river enters the second tunnel 3255 feet In length, under Ca thedral mountain, which towers 10,454 feet high again turns a complete clr. cle and emerging above Itself It comes out 54 feet higher. The whole thing appears a miracle crossing Itself twice, roughly forming the figure 8. As soon as we emerge from these tun nels, we pass the Oreat Divide, the highest elevation of the Canadian Pa cific Railway, marked by a rustic arch spanning a stream under which the water divides, the part that Sows eastward eventually reaches the At lantic Ocean thru Hudson Bay, the part that runs westward int% the Pa cific Ocean. On the right ts a gran ite shaft erected to the memory of Sir James Hector^ the discover of the Kicking Horse Pass, which permits the Canadian Pacific Railway to cross the Rockies. We reache'd Lake Louise at three o'clock P- M.v To reach the lake it. self we took & gasoline railway for 3 12 miles ascending 620 feet, when we came suddenly in full viewvof Lake Louise, named after the wife of the Marquis^ of^i/Ome, one time Governor General of Canada. This is one oi the most perfect gems I of s?.enery tn the world, "a lake of the deepest and most exquisite colorings, ever changing, defying analysis, mir roring in its wonderful depths," the sombre forests and cliffs that rise from its eliores^on either side, the gleaming white glacier and tremendous snow croui.ed pf-iksthat fill the back ground of the picture, and the blue sky and fleecy clouds overh??d."- Your scribe having -become prepare*! ror most any thing, In the lavish splendors of this wild and weird display of the Great Founders handiwork, never imagined such grouping^-*TDT?L color Mendings, of the white Tee "fcapW on numberless mountain toptfv withJudlesa glaciers glistening 1 distance with the evergreen wooded\ slopes, all rejected from the still and crys tal surface of Lake Louise, triau. gular shaped, covering several hund red acres with the Chatlan Hotel at Its base. All of us dined at this first class hotel of 265 rooms, with fare and appointments equal to any place we had visited. This hotel was built and managed by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Here we mixed and mingled with the large crowd, all the officers of the American Bar Association and many members of the Canadian Bar Associa tion being present, also Vice-President Coolidge. Our Vice-President has the reputation of being reserved cold and distant as an lceburg and your scribe soon foqnd the Inspiration of his arc tic "temperament. Most oi our mem bers met him and beheld a small, smooth faced gentleman, with steel | blue eyes, w|th a countenance that | was a stranger to a smile, yet with an I Intelligence that gave unmistakable evidence that he was the personifica tion of a protest or a negative and a deep thinker. When he spokeli_waS' in epigram and In monoayll#Wes7 A statesman In the south with his attributes would never get to the first base ip the political game. We, of this state had one of this kind in the past, that we remember, with his sad fate. , I > Your scribe noticed standing within a few feet of the Vice-President, a tall athletic young man, dressed well, who never spoke a word, but shadowed him all the JJme, which he at once spotted as a Secret service man. After 12 o'clock when he boarded the gasoline railway to return to the station, a young man in uniform took a seat by his side, whom he recognized as the guard to the Vice-President. In con versation with him he found he was an Irishman, in the employ of the Canadian Pacific Railway as a Becret service detective and police officer. He gave a graphic description of the climate around Lake Louise. That by the 10th of September it would be gin to snow and keep it up every da> until It would be ten feet deep and colder until it would get to 65 degrees below zero, where it would remain all the winter. Your scribe returned to his Pullman at one o'clock In the morning after another red letter day of sight seeing I experience. W. M. PURSON. (To Be Continue^-rT TEWM.NO OFF THE MASK: WHY 1 HK V FIGHT CO-OPLKAilVE MARKETING The best thing th?t has ever happen ed to the cooperative marketing move-' ment in North Carolina, South Carcv GROCERIES I am pleased to announce to my friends that I have just opened a complete and new line of Heavy and Fan cy Groceries, Notions, etc. in the store room formerly occupied by E.

Come in and see me. BRING MS YOUR COUNTRY PRODUCE AND RECEIVE THE BEST PRICES tN. B. Tucker HASH STREET LOUI8BURO, N C. Una and Virginia was the answer made by the opponentb of cooperative jnar. keting in the NashviftB court rase as c escribed In The Progressive farmer week before last. m v Nothing that any speaker, "official, or advocate of cooperative marketing has ever said has been more convinc ing than the statement made by ene mies of cooperative marketing on this occasion . Everybody knows that the opponents of cooperative marketing have been teilinff the farmers ot Vir ginia and the Carolinas that coopera tive marketing could never amount to much; that it could never give them the profits and power they hope to get under it. ^ But when the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative Association jued a con tract-breaker, v&at, sort of defense did the opponent of cooperative mar keting make for this man in the court.' Did they piead In his behalf that cooperative marketing was a de. lusion and a snare; that it was an at tempt to mislead and deceive the far mer; that it could never give the far mer the profits and power he expects from It? By no means. On the contrary, the opponents of cooperative marketing in this case threw off all hypocricy and pretense. They did not even pre tend that they were fighting tn be half of the farmer to save him from being duped and misled. On the con trary, as we said at the time, they set t ut with the emphatic declaration that the cooperative marketing iaw gives the farmer such privileges and advan tages as other classes do not enjoy and that the cooperative marketing association proposes to make the far mer so powerful and so wealthy that cooperative marketing will becoms "mjurious to the public in general" ? evidently meanirg the middlemen and speculators who alone, so tar as we can see, would be hurt Li this Increas ed prosperity of the farmer. In order that we may not be ac cused of misrepresenting t h? - -<jppo nents of cooperative marketing in" this' connection, let us quote the exact language ot the defense made by the attorneys Jor W. T. Jones in the Nash County court. First of all. naving de clared that the cooperative marketing la^r gives special privileges and epec M'. advantages to the farmer as com pared with other classes of oltlxens, these attorneys went on to say: "As an illustration of the power and | danger which will result from the for. mation of associations under the act aforesaid, this defendant shows that if the plaintiff association had bach in oxistence in 1919, 1920, and it could have compelled the proAiC$*k of all tolfocco in the State of Worth Carolina, had all joined the plaiMiff association, to deliver to it the crops of tobacco made in the three years, which would have amounted to ap proximately 1,053,000,000 pounds of leaf tobacco, which was sold for ap proximately $360,500,000, and by with holding the same from the market and manipulating the same, could have ab solutely controlled the price of leaf tobacco^and thereby made Itself monopoly, contrclling within the short space of three years not only an enor^ mous sum of money, but an enor mous amount ot leaf tobacco, tq tha detriment of the public in generate and that like associations could be formed under the said act which could xontrol all the agricultural products in the State of North Carolina, the an nual value ot which amounts to more than half a billlpn dollars, and that such associations ""by making con tracts and agreements with their other like associations formed in otber States, as they are authorized by the paid act to do, etmld ultimately aet un der their conlrol such an enorinoBft | amount of property and wealth, would make snch associations a men. ate not only to the State of North Car olina, hut to the t'nlted States ef America." The cat is out of the bag. The mask U off of the deceiver. The sheep's clothing is torn off of tho wolf. The opponents of cooperative market ihg have been forced to admit that they are flgh^ng for their lives becauife they know cooperative marketing will givA the farmer power and wealth and advantages he has tnever before enjoyed . What need have we of any further | witness? In the face of these facts, what faft mer will henceforth be deceived tp charges that cooperative marketing Is no impotant thing and can neVer give him real strength and power? At lest the road Is so plain that tho way faring man. though a fool, need n^t err therein. ? Progressive Farmer.
