PHOTOGRAPHING IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES. 95 
spreads rapidly over vast deposits of gla- 
cial mud and gravel, and is one of the most 
treacherous streams to ford that may be 
found anywhere in the great North. 
Usually a picture of a camp contains lit- 
tle of general interest. It is only valuable 
to the people who shared in the luxury of 
it, who loitered within its shades, who sat- 
isfied their voracious appetites about its 
festal board. There are camps, however, 
which have something of general interest 
in them, and we made one such at Spray 
lake, 30 miles from Banff. Our tent was 
10 feet wide and 20 feet long, with a 5 foot 
practical purposes, as you would find in 
the Waldorf Hyphen Castoria hotel. We 
built good substantial bedsteads out of 
poles. I built an easy chair, which is 
shown in front of the tent, and over which 
I spreal a piece of canvas that I carried 
along for the purpose. We built a frame 
for the tent, so as to dispense with the 
center poles at each end, and to make the 
tent so rigid and strong that it would re- 
sist the high winds. We had a stove in 
the tent, and when the cold rains came we 
closed the flap, built a fire and bade defi- 
ance to the other elements.

wall. We were to occupy this camp Io 
days, so we proceeded at once to make it 
comfortable. Wright built a table that 
was a masterpiece of construction, in its 
line. He cut down a pine tree about 8 
inches in diameter, cut off 2 sections of it, 
each about 6 feet in length, split them, 
and dressed each face with an adze 
and a jack plane. Then he flattened the 
round sides at the ends, so as to nail them 
on 2 cross pieces. To these he attached 
legs. Thus he had a smooth, level surface 
for the top, about 30 inches wide and 6 
feet long. We spread a sheet of black oil 
cloth over it and had as good a table, for 
I therefore thought it worth while to 
photograph this tent and to show a picture 
of it to the readers of RECREATION. 
On a high plateau, at an altitude of 9,050 
feet, I found some bunches of limestone 
that had been pushed up through the soil 
in a most peculiar fashion. Some of the 
slabs were a foot wide and 3 to 4 feet long, 
with perfectly even edges, carrying their 
width and their thickness throughout, as 
accurately as if they had been carved by a 
marble cutter. Others were 3 to 4 inches 
wide, 2 to 3 inches thick and over 3 feet 
long. What the motive power was that
