Descending westerly from the summit we reach in a few minutes tin; Glacier House, a delightful hotel situated almost, in the face of the Great Glacier and at the foot of the grandest of all the peaks of the Selkirks, Sir Donald, an acute pyramid of naked rock shooting up nearly eight thousand feet above us. In the dark valley far below we see the glacier-fed Illicilliwaet glistening through the tree-tops, and beyond and everywhere the mountains rise in majesty and immensity beyond all compariso...n. To reach the deep valley below, the engineers wound the railway in a series of great curves or loops all about the mountain slopes, and as we move on this marvellous scene is presented to us in every aspect. We plunge again for hours through pre- cipitous gorges, deep and dark, and again cross the Columbia River, which has made a great detour around the Selkirk Mountains while we have come directly through them. The river is wider and deeper here, and navigable by steamboats southward for nearly two hundred miles.
