10. A CEDAR LOG DRIVEN THROUGH A STANDING TREE, BY A SNOW SLIDE. 



The log was about 18 inches in diameter and the standing tree about 6 feet in diameter at the ground. 

 This occurred several years ago, and the ground, which was probably swept clean of vegetation at the 

 time, is now covered with underbrush. 



sion of the declivity of these canyon walls 

 you must give your imagination full sway 

 when looking at the pictures. 



It is worth a trip across the continent 

 any day to see one of these slides come 

 down, and I predict that in future many 

 people will make a practice of going 

 to the Canadian Rockies in April or 

 May and camping where they can see 

 some of these things. There are numerous 

 points where such sights may be seen 



almost any day, from the first of April 

 to the middle of May. At certain points 

 you may command a view of io or 

 15 of these great slides, and in such case 

 you would not have to wait long to see one 

 of them start. Any man or woman who is 

 fond of the great or the erand in nature 

 will say as I said when I saw the first slide 

 come down, "This is worth all the time 

 and all the money it has cost me to cross 

 the continent." 



THANKSGIVING. 



N. D. E. 



'Way down East the punkin pies 

 Are waitin' for Thanksgivin' ; 



The chestnuts and the butternuts, 

 Oh! that's the kind of livin'! 



There's turkeys sizzlin' in the pans, 

 There's doughnuts in the larder ; 



There's blushin' apples and mince pies, 

 And cider gittin' harder. 



We'll nothin' say of chicken pies 

 A-steamin' for Thanksgivin', 



And ev'ry sort of garden sass ; 

 Oh! that's the kind of livin'!
