THE LOOPS.—After crossing the Columbia River, and shortly after leaving Revelstoke, a rising town built on its bank, the ascent of the Selkirk Range begins. The railway makes a bewildering turning and twisting and doubling, and a little before getting to Glacier Station, and quite close to the great glacier, three different lines are seen in the deep valley below. The engineers in winding the railway by a series of curves and loops all abaut the mountain slopes enabled the ascent to be made without any trouble, and to the traveller a marvellous scene is presented in every aspect.
