Vancouver, March 16, Wednesday The day starts in dark and raining. I leave on the Roscrea Hotel bus and the C.P. R.R. train starts promptly at 8.30 A.M. We go fourteen miles up to Burnard Inlet which is situated the city of Vancouver, and 12 miles more on the delta of the Fraser River before we come upon the river itself. This delta hereabouts is usually not higher than 50 feet and considerable if it is settled and farmed. All this in about 42 years. The Coast Range foothills and plateau is much dissected and I must refer to early Cenozoic time. The small ravines on all sides are U shaped due, known, to the Pleistocene glaciation. In the first 80 miles we rise of 100 feet. Down comes down to about 1000 feet above sea. The little town of Agassiz in the Coast Ranges is on the flat of Fraser River and has a romantic surround of sharply ascending out. Paleozoic formations near by. At about third or 90 miles E of Vancouver we are off the delta and in main of the Fraser River, we are about 210 feet above the sea. The valley soon down.
