Park, Taylor. Heaney and Korton, set out for a three-days climb over the Garibaldi Glacier. They had some fine climbing and tacated three new peaks. The tir-t one, which lies north-east of Garibaldi, they named Mountain, owing to its surface. Going northward they crossed a medial moraine and found the source of the IStt River, where they camped.

Continuing north over the snowlield they reached an arete leading up to their second peak, which was named Copper Peak, some fine samples of copper being found here. A little to the north-west of this they made their third conquest, naming it Castle Towers. The aneroid gave out at feet, whilst climbing the latter, which is approximately 8200 feet. It is pleasing to record that none of our party suffered from mountain sickness, nor yet met with any serious accident during these climbs. Camp was broken at midday on Saturday, August 19.

The fortnight's outing had been a successful one from a climber's view-point. A closer grasp of the geography of the country had been obtained, and all the trips proved instructive. Much that was amusing had taken place; but that is another story, while everybody proved sociable and agreeable. In short we all had an enjoyable time. A Perfect Tonic fa the Skin and Complexion.

The youngest partner of the firm, having been recently married, invited the employees to a musical evening." Oh, John, exclaimed the bride, you will come, won't you? We shall have selections from Handel, Beethoven, and all the finest composers. This will be the best music you have ever Well, thank'ee, mum," replied the ancient one; "I'll come. 1 don't know much about Handles and Beef-ovens an all the rest of em; but it'll have to be pretty good music if it beats the sound of our old 'buzzer' when it whistles to knock off work.

VANCOUVERITES AS INVESTORS Vancouver people arc becoming investors not speculators. Nearly every day some well-known man this city calls here ami makes purchases of first mortgages mi improved real estate, municipal or industrial debentures. They say they prefer aboolute safety for their money with a good rate of interest. a hope of increase in selling rather than no interest with value. This speaks well for the future of Vancouver and British Columbia.

It means solidity. This company keeps its reserve and undivided profits, invested in first mortgages on Vancouver improved real estate, returning an interest from 7 to 8 per cent. The return trip was begun at noon, the same route being followed. Some fine glissading on the descent was thoroughly enjoyed hy all, and camp was reached at 5 p.m. We wire loth to leave Maimpiam Lake next (lay A different route hack to the main camp was taken.

Starting out at 9 a.m. we went over gulleys and rocks and brooks and scree, heathery hills and fertile meadows, startling lonely badgers sunning themselves on rocks, hearing their whistling calls, and picking up crystals of quartz, Pictures for the artists eye or the philosophic mind, hunting grounds for the geologist, mineralogist or the botanist. Enioy it to the full! Drink it in deeply, ye mountaineers! There will come a day when you will look hack upon it with envy and longing. We crossed over the trunk glacier towards the north, over another moraine and came out on the tongue of Garibaldi Glacier. From here we climbed the south face of Lava Mountain ami s', dropped down to our main camp at 2 p.tn.

Mount Garibaldi The ascent of Mount Garibaldi was begun at 7.3) a.m. on Sunday, August 13, 1911 by thirteen members of the club. This is another huge volcanic pile, triangular in shape, facing S.E., S.W., and X.W. Seen from tnc head of Howe Sound it forms a magnificent picture, rearing its head away to the north. On the north-west there is a dangerous cut-off and a glacier ending iu Dalton Lake.

The south-west face presents a mass ot crumbling volcanic rock, black, brown, grey and purple; with white patches of snow in the foreground. We climbed the south-east face along the glacier, reaching up to the farthermost peak (StXt feet I hy a safe snowlield. The weather was not too promising, and cumulus clouds obscured the summit. The ridge between Lava and Golunina Mountains was easily ascended, and then a fine piece of glissading carried us to a 50-foot wall of snow and ice with a small frozen lake at the foot. The Riiowfall for several winters was here distinctly traceable, the successive dire lines being quite clear on the cut off.

The mists still hung around. We could see ahead of us a steep hill of scree surmounted by a hank of snow. We knew the peak to be directly to the north, but could not discern it. Four of the party went ahead to cut steps; the rest carried packs of grub, wood and the ropes. Next we came to a nasty lava and ash slope, falling away very abruptly to the east and ending in-a moraine at the tongue of the glacier.

After crossing this we came to perpetual snow and roped up. For some distance we travelled almost due north, parallel to the south-east face with a rocky ridge between us and the peak and leaving Diamond Head on the left. The snow was good. Several crevasses, varying in depth, were passed, and soon after we climbed up to an arete of volcanic ash, which crutnh-led away beneath our feet. We were glad to regain the glacier on the opposite slope, and now we veered off to the north-west leaving an evil-looking crevasse on our right.

We wound our wav along up the neve, which in places was very steel), ami by 12.3U midday we were over the snow at the foot of a pinnacle of crumbling rock and cinders. By 1 p.m. we were all on top eating a hearty lunch round a camp fire, the latter being somewhat of a novelty at this altitude (8700 The cold mists made us shiver. Occasionally gleams of sunshine opened out to us a wonderland of snow-clad peaks, lake and river. Cloudy weather still prevailed, so at 3 p.m.

we started on the descent by the same route. Camp was reached at fi p.m. Following are the records taken from the cairn on the north-west pinnacle of Garibaldi: 1. August 12. 1907: A.
