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.
