DEAR ED AND LEO.NA;
If yo, want the Old World
spice for your prospective visit
to the West Coast the tea and
crumpet spice we mean, not the
pickled herring kind you're
used to in the Smorgasbord
state take a tip from us and
five yourself an extra three or
four days for a side jaunt by
land and water to Vancouver
island in British Columbia.
Victoria, capital of British
Columbia, and which is on the
island, is almost more English
than England, as you undoubt
edly have heard. At least that's
what we have always been told
and the other day we got a
chance to judge for ourselves.
The Oregonian and the Oregon
State Motor association get to
'gether each summer in sponsor
ing a series of motorlog trips
stimulate auto travel and
give the readers a few sugges
tions as to what they might find
interesting in a scenic way.
That's how we happen to be
such authorities just now on
' Vancouver island.
Furnished with the white
AAA travel car by the motor
association and a set of reserva
tions for motor court accommo
dations all along the way, we
took off at 6 p. m. Wednesday
night for Seattle on the first leg
of the trip. Next day v.e ar
rived in Canada Vancouver, to
be specific, which, however, is
more like an American city than
a British one.
Strait Ferry Large
Everyone was most cordial in
Vancouver, and on Friday we
were off across the Strait of
Georgia on the Princess Elaine,
a CPR ferry boat of consider
able size with seats built across
its two passenger decks like a
gigantic street car.

we had accommodations re
served in a cottage high on a
bluff overlooking the two-mile
beach that stretches along the
strait. In the Qualicum Beach
village we found our first really
Old World place, a coffee house
it is called, although we ex
pected to find a tea shoppe.
Here along the immaculate
walls were shelves containing
English china, curios and brie a
brac of many kinds, and on
table a year's supply of the
Tattler, straight from London.
There are all kinds of streams
and lakes both close by and up
the road quite a piece from
Qualicum Beach.
There's also Forbidden pla
teau some distance north, where
skiing is the forte in winter.
There's golf at several places,
including Qualicum Beach, and
there are hotels, both large and
small. '
Victoria is really an English
town, all right, although it
seemed to us that a majority
of the new houses being built,
and there are many, are of
stucco in the California style.
But the old mansions along Ma
rine drive, where we drove
after dinner at the Empress
hotel, are strictly Old World,
with rose arbors, pnrkiike
grounds and lots of liowers.

bor, where the boats do-k. '.' r

air to the island capital city.
provincial parliament buildings
and the castle-like Empress
hotel rise majestically over the
harbor and its causeway. Up
the street are shop after shop
of English china and British
woolens and linens.
We haven't told you much
about the scenery. Fact is, the
scenery is much like that in
Oregon. The trees are the same
deep green, against a backdrop
of mountains, and there's lots
of water. The surf in the straits
is calmer than on the Oregon
coast and the water at Quali
cum Beach is reported to be
much warmer than in the ocean
at home. The roads are good,
although they don't quite come
up to those we traveled on
Sunday, after crossing the
Strait of Juan de Fuca on the
luxury ferry Chinook of the
Black Ball line (American) to
Port Angeles.
