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. Distance [illegible] similar. It is a fine medium sized steamer used for winter travel. During the summer the travel is 10-15 times greater and then try put on a much larger steamer. Arrived on time at 7.15 P.M. Had a miserable experience with the Custom Officers about my bundle of maps. They could not understand suspecting my constructing plans which are ductile. The Chief Officer chewed me down and said if I wanted to avoid a great deal of trouble for myself that he would turn me over to the inspectors. Such are the damned laws among civilized nations. The trouble of course was all due that I spoke simply to the main officer, and he looked just like he is a numbskull. Had a splendid view of the Olympics in the clouds and all deeply snow covered. They towered on my right and the view was best from the Straits of Juan de Fuca.
