Canadian Pacific Railway through its enterprise in building mountain hotels has found an asset of steadily increasing value The tourist crop of the Mountains is Becoming just as valuable to Canada as the wheat crop of the Prairies The vast majority of these tourists are visitors from foreign countries who bring wealth into the country No less than 74201 travellers registered at these hotels in 1915 the capacity of which is being increased each year Banfl Springs Hotel has kitchen capac ity for six hundred meals at one sitting and the Chateau Lake Louise during the height of the season had between six and seven hundred overnight guests each day So far from confining itself to operating trains and hotels the Canadian Pacific Railway has co operated with the Government in building trails and even an automobile road from Banff over the Vermilion Pass Its activities are such that this immense area is coming to be general known as the Canadian Pacific Rockies It has been the policy of the Canadian Pacific Railway to maintain a high standard of architecture and interior decoration in its hotels the influence of which has been pronounced throughout the whole of Canada Bankers md investors coming to Canada to study conditions by personal visit will find standards of civilization just as high and hotels just as cosmopolitan as those of their own country The Washington Office of
