land and other mining towns. From West Robson, another branch runs through what is called the boundary country.
All this country south of Revelstoke is of extreme interest to capitalists, miners, farmers and sportsmen. It has been vigorously advertised by the Railway Company and by investors. But the tourist will be very well repaid in a hundred miles or more of as fine, and finer landscape of wooded mountain and valley and lake than can be found anywhere outside the Highlands of Scotland. Indeed, there is nothing in Scotland so expansive and at once so beautiful. More and more to this network of lakes and streams and valleys and dark hills will come the home-seeker from the Old World of mountains and glens and of English fields. And always it will remain a country of delight to the holiday-seeker and the tourist.
