stouffvillenov 9th 1925 dear mr editor i have just returned from a won derful trip and i wonder if some of my experiences during the last two months would be of interest to your readers i left souffville on the 25th day of august going by c n r to winnipeg then by gtp to jasper park with a stop over at wain- wrlght to visit nephews and nieces brothers and sisters of clayton stouffer and mrs j murison at jasperpark i did a little very little mountain climblug visited the zoo and saw the much talked about golf course this will be a wonderful re sort some day but at present it is just in the making a short run out of jasper park we were delayed about thiee hours by a rockslide then another hours run and the train stopped to let us have a good look at mt robson about 13000 ft high about fifty of the passengers had kodaks and took many snapshots- of the snowglad giant my next stop was at ashcroft still in the rockies this was one of the old time outfitting posts for the gold rush of 50 years ago here i visited a cousin mr isaac lehman who at the time of the gold rush did a thriv ing blacksmith business he shod both horses and oxen for the pro spectors there is a tomato cannery here which turns out 60 cans per minute on board again i travelled to matsqui bc where my brother-in- law nelson machell has 230 acres of fine land in the fraser river valley on which he pays 1000 taxes he says is is easier to pay this sum out there that it was to pay the much smaller sum on his whitchurch farm some forty years ago he took me over to new westminster to the fall exhibition while it does not rival the cne there was a splendid exhibit and a big ciowd of people the great drawing card was the rodeobroncho busting roping etc tliis was a thriller on again to vancouver where i called on hoy kendrick who took me for a fine motor trip over the marine drive here i boarded a large coast steamer which called at victoria before proceeding to seattle at this last port i was asked at the customs office to say how much liquor i was carrying that seemed to be the most important of all con traband articles now by train again to tacoma where i was ju3t five miles from puyallup where my son fred lives here i met for the first time a daughterinlaw and three grand children who made me feel very much at home fred works a farm of ten acres on which he grows berries and cucumbers in wonderful quantities he and the neighbors were very anxious that i should have a shot at one of their gorgeous mountain pheasants i did not need much coaxing and i succeeded in bringing down a very beautiful specimen we made several very interesting side trips one to hoods mt also one to mt ranler where there is a fine park after a three weeks visit i started tor denver travelling through many many miles of barren lands also through some of the most wonder ful- scenery one could imagine while- in denver we of course went up pikes peak we travelled eighteen miles to reach the height of 14000 feet on the way up we parsed through a rainstorm came out on top and looked down on the dark clouds below usl i had always hoped but scarcely expected to get above the clouds while still in the flesh and the experience was very wonderful then the gorges like deep cruel gashes in the flesh of the earth they are beyond words of descrip tion so narrow that there is just room for the river and the railway side by side along the bottom so deep that one looks up for thousands sight of the mountains in alberta until considerably east of denver on the nay home i was almost always in eight of snowy peak or frowning height what impressed me most was the unfailing courtesy and care of the men of the great railways they seemed anxious to assist in every possible way now i am sure this is too long but i scarcely know where to stop it was all so wonderful you will just have to use your shears freely yours very truly simeon stouffer lemonvrlle miss con cook spent thanksgiv ing with her frlen i
