The steamer stopped at the capital City,
British Columbia at 1.15 and we had a chance
to ashore for an hour. This is Victoria and here
I visited the Parliament Building, another
pleasing grey stone large structure standing back
on a park facing the sea wards. Nearby in
the C.P.R.R. laye Victoria Hotel. We walked
along one of the main streets to see the stores.
There are very much like our own.
The Olympics an all of metamorphic rocks,
and to the north of them are the upturned Cenozoic formations in fault relations to the east.
To the north of these are low hills, mainly a table land of elevated horizontal sands. The redding
in places is so distinct from these Pleistocene
deltas must be of marine origin. Those lower hills go up 200 feet or more.
