This grand old sentinel of the Hermit Range is one of the most imposing peaks of the many which guard the Iicilliwact Valley, As one gazes, almost in awe, upon the noble slopes which lead upward to the bare, beetling crags of the summit, the mind is fillcd with wonder as it realizes that for ages upon ages all this grand scenery, these tremendous mountain wastes, were unknown and unvisited—for even the hardy Kootenay Indian avoided this part of the Selkirk Range. To him it was forbidden ground. Legends handed down to him from the dim and distant past gave the valleys of the Hlicil!iwact and Reaver streams an evil name. So, for ages the grizzly, the big horn and the caribou held undisputed possession of a region infinitely more beautiful, wild and savage than the Alps. t a three and one-half day run from Montreal over the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway will land you at Glacier. Here as you sip your wine and discuss the entrées you can sce the majestic mass of Cheops through the open window ; and with a strong glass ur eye, may sometimes ace the wild creatures of the crag and forest traversing those grassy slopes beneath the rocks, all unconscious of theie proxiinit first-rate hotel. The moun will always be there, but future generations will miss nature It is only in these when civilization is t g on the heels of savagedom in the Canadian West that the traveler will sce the caribou and big hora from the windows of his parlor car.
