1892 IMPRESSIONS OF NORTH-WEST 647
who takes this trip will ever regret it, if he or she possesses a taste for
beauty in Nature, or has a soul that can respond to the sublimities of
her greatest handiwork in mountain making. The Canadian Pacific
Eailway is almost certain to arrange for such a trip in connection
with the Chicago World's Fair. It will give British and Irish
visitors a chance of seeing the North-West, and, as a better know
ledge of its varied advantages is the essential thing required to push
on the work of colonisation, it should be an object with the Canadian
Pacific Eailway to make terms and arrangements for such a trip as I
suggest as enticing as possible to visitors from the United Kingdom.
A day's stop-over at Winnipeg, Eegina, Banff Hot Springs, Vancouver,
and New Westminster, with, of course, a trip across to Victoria, in all
of which places excellent hotel accommodation will be found, would
enable the tourists to form some idea of the magnitude, resources,
beauty, and general characteristics of a country which is destined, in
my humble judgment, to become, even in the present generation, one
of the most prosperous portions of the Colonial Empire.
