Friday
Vancouver, British Columbia, March 11
Left Seattle on the C.P.R.R. steamer
Princess Victoria at 9 A.M. for Vancouver
British Columbia. It is a fine medium sized
steamer used for winter travel. During the summer
the travel is 10-10 times greater and then try put
on a much larger steam.
Arrived on time at
7.15 P.M. Had a miserable experience with
the Custom Officers about my bundle of maps.
They tried could not understand suspecting
my architecting plans which are ductile.
The Chief Officer cheered me down and said if
I wanted to make a great deal of trouble for
myself that he would turn me over to the
inspectors. Such are the damnable laws among
quitting nations. The trouble of errors was all
due that I spoke angrily to the minor officer,
and he looked good under he is a memo-shall.
Had a splendid view of the Olympics in the
clouds and all deeply snow covered. They towered
up high and the view over best from the straits of
Juan de Fuca.
