Part 4
Blsmarch, North Dakota -
Aug. 11 ? Leaving Sidney,
B.C., Saturday, Aug. 3, we
v id ted the Butchart Gardens,
famous for the many formal
and informal gardens and
e^Mcially for the sunken gar
den that was once an ugly
opening made by miners.
Then on to Victoria for the
night where we toured the
"City of Gardens." Later we
visited the government build
ings and the wax museum.
On Sunday, after attend
ing church and having lunch,
we ferried to Vancouwer,
B.C. for the night. British
Columbia, one of the Cana
dian provinces, lies between
the Pacific Ocean on the west
and the Rocky Mountains on
the east. Vancouver is the
largest island in the British
Columbia area and the third
larfect city in Canada. It is
heavily wooded and is on the
famous "Inside Passage" to
Alaska.
Monday morning found us
traveling east for the first
tkne during our trip. The
next six days and nights were
?pent in Canada at Kami oops,
Lake Louise for two nights,
Calgary, all in British Col
umbia, and Medicine Hat In
Alberta and Regina, In the
province of Saskatchewan.
Each of theee places has
been founded and promoted
by the Canadian Pacific Rail
road for stopovers on their
route across Canada tor their
benefit and that of its pasaen
gers. Today they are resort
places, each with the original
or remodeled lodges that
served the railroad .
Kamloops is a friendly
clean city of 10,448 popula
tion and of 1159 ft. altitude.
It 1* the trade center of a
prosperous cattle ranching,
farming, lumbering, and fruit
growing region.
Tuesday we left Kamloops
for Glacier National Park. In
this day's travel we were
among mountain ranges, very
high and snow-capped. We
were deep in the Canadian
Rockies and continued to
Lake Louise via Rogers Pass
which was very pretty scen
ery.
We stayed at the beautiful
Chateau Lake Louise from
which one sees the lake made
by Victoria glacier on the
high mountains just beyond
the lake. This glacier is said to
be 200 to 300 ft. high in the
upper portion and from 400
to 500 feet thick at the lower
portion. The melt water from
this glacier forms Lake Louise
which has a clear blue or
bluegreen color. A real beau
ty of nature!
On Wednesday we rode to
the Columbian Ice Fields-just
imagine being high enough
(9,800; 11,870 feet or more)
that the snow that has fallen
in times past never melts
away fast enough to uncover
the mountain area, only en
ough to form water falls and
streams. Snowmobiles ride
tourists over these ice fields.
A trip on the ski lift near
Lake Louise was a thrilling
experience.
On Thursday, we stopped
over in Banff, one of the
Canadian Rockies beauty
?pots, for lunch and shopp
ing. Calgary wis the night
stop. Here the group had res
ervations to have dinner atop
the 62-story Husky Tower
which has a revolving restaur
ant overlooking the city of
328,258 population.
Medicine Hat, a town of
25,094, was a very interesting
place to spend Friday night.
Its name comes from Indian
folklore and it Is a town with ;
immense deposits of natural !
gas under it, which have pro- i
vided Inexpensive fuel for the j
thriving industries of all !
kinds. This Is a city of many
recreational opportunities
and flowers everywhere. Here
we visited the glass blowing
plant and watched the work
ers.
Regina, the capital of the
Province of Saskatchewan,
was our home Saturday night
and Sunday we passed
through customs and into Bis
march, North Dakota for the
night.
In this traveling we were
first in the Canadian Rockies,
then prairie lands, oil well
regions. Alkali flats from
which alt is extracted, ponds
covered with young ducki
readying themselves for the
flight south, fields of grain
and grain storage buildings
and many deer.
Homeward Bound
After going through cus
toms and declaring our citi
zenship we were on good old
USA soil again, traveling
through Minot to Bismarck,
North Dakota for the night.
This capitol is different from
the other slate capitals we
had seen, it has no dome In
traditional fashion. The build
ing is very modern In design
and the center portion resem
bles a many storied rec
tangular office building.
Monday was a day of rid
ing, as we passed through the
towns of Jamestown and
Fargo in North Dakota and
the heart of the Minnesota
Lake Country before reaching
Minneapolis tor the night. :
This was great cattle country, j
hence spacious fields of hay.
Some attended the Minnea- I
polls-Washington ball game, j
Tuesday after traveling i
through Wisconsin, we arrived !
in Chicago, III., just in time to i
get ourselves settled for the
evening.
Wednesday the group had
a four-hour tour of Chicago,
during which we toured the
Southslde section and visited
the Museum of Science and
Industry; saw the place of
meeting for the Democrats,
Aug. 26; visited the Elk mem
orial, Grant Park, the Ocean
drive (the once man made
land and sight of the 1933
World's Fair) with its varied
tall buildings.
Thursday night was spent
in Indianapolis, Indiana and
Friday night in Charleston,
West Virginia where members
of the group were entertained
at a dinner by Carolina Traii
ways and the group did much
reminiscing. Arch Wilson ser
ved as master of ceremonies
and did an excellent job.
Saturday morning we left
early en route through the
West Virginia foothills, and
over the turnpike to the Vir
ginia State line, to HUlsville
and to Mount Amy, North
Carolina.
From noon at Mount Airy
to 4 o'clock in Raleigh, we
were di patching tourists
along the way.
It had been a grand thirty
days of seeing the unbeliev
able! of nature that exist In
this great land of our*. Safe
and sound back home, on*
has to conclude the pretence
of an Almighty God who
causes these phenomena of
nature and who watches ovei
travelers.
