Twenty miles to the left and you will be at Lake Louise. Go to Banff first if you want to return to British Columbia by way of Kicking Horse pass, which you don't want to miss. These two famous resort areas are a must on any tour of the Canadian Rockies in British Co lumbia and Alberta provinces, and there are many accommo dations more modest in price man tne iaKe Louise chateau and the Banff Serines hoteL Coming up from northern Idaho. Banff and Lake Louise are reached by traveling high way j 10 us junction wun nign way 18, and thence through Kootenay national park to Banff national parK. The white car of the co-oper- aiive uregoman ana uregon oiaie ivioior association motor- log crossed the international boundary at Kingsgate. The first-timer in Canada will be surprised that this takes little more formality than moving from kitchen to dining room at nome. The principal line of question ing at Canadian customs begets a small suspicidn that soon be comes a surprise conviction. What started this myth that goods are cheaper in Canada than in the United States? Some Goods Cheaper Woolens and china - are, in fact, somewhat cheaper. Food and lodging are about the same, and in some cases less in Can ada. Manufactured articles, however, are almost uniformly higher. The customs man wants to know if you have a radio, heater, camera, binoculars, seat covers, and how many Amer ican cigarets. You had better have all but the cigarets with you when you leave th. country, else you will pay import duty on the basis of the Canadian sale price. As for cigarets, each adult is allowed a carton. If you aren't fussy about cigaret brands, you can smoke Sweet Caporals Eva Pe ron s Remains Placed in Mausoleum Buenos Aires (U.R) The body of Eva Peron rested Monday in a special mausoleum at the head quarters of the General Federa tion of Labor (CGT) after a mam- WEST COAST JURLINES Call: Rogue Travel Service 2-6 9 West Coast Airlines 2-7269 MORE HOT Why swelter in the heat when it costs so little to keep cool!

Gasoline is higher in Canada. Part of the higher figure' is due to use of the imperial gallon, the equivalent to five of our quarts. The rest of it appears to represent cost of transportation, particularly to inland points Roads in British Columbia run the gamut of the sublime. the irritating and the spine- jolting. A $2 fee is charged for enter ing your first Canadian national park, but the windshield sticker you get is good for a year in all national parks. You travel through three parks in the swing through Banff and Lake Louise and back to Golden Kootenay. Banff and Yoho. Both Lake Louise and Banff are surrounded by high peaks of the Canadian Rockies, with more peaks showing in the dis tance Deyona the glacier-filled valleys. Railway Followed Westward from Lake Louise on highway No. 1, the motorist alternately has a feeling of ap preciation ior Lanaaian nistory and anticipation of a .greater de velopment for this nation that is now getting under way. But this is interspersed with amaze ment at continuous unfolding oi mammom mountain shapes, deep canyons and high, sheer cliffs, with much of it all re splendent in sun-glistened snow and ice. He crosses the continental di vide from Alberta to British Columbia through Kicking Horse pass. This is the route of Motor-loggers reached Cana dian Rockies spas via highway 95 from Idaho.

The body of the first lady, who died July 26 after a lingering illness, will be kept in the mau soleum for about a year. Later it will be placed on permanent view in a glass-fronted chamber in a monument-tomb to be erect ed somewhere in downtown Bue nos Aires. Given High Honors Hundreds of , thousands of grieving Argentines bared their heads in silent mourning as Mrs. Peron was given military and civil honors Sunday customarily reserved for presidential fu nerals. With her husband, President Juan D. Peron, marching as chief mourner, the glass-fronted coffin was borne 25 blocks on a gun carriage from the national capi tol to the CGT building. Forty men and eight women drew the gun carriage on foot with special tow ropes. Troops Line Route Troops lined the route of march, holding the huge crowd in check, but windows, roofs and nearby side streets were choked with - people. Flowers rained from the rooftops and windows as the coffin passed.

For the most part this is an old highway, of gravel construc tion, and nothing to brag about. Suddenly, however, between Field and Golden, the motorist comes upon a stretch of first class roadbed, which is being used, even though it has not been oiled. This is the route of the main trans-Canada highway, along the length of which improve ment is now being pushed. The same improvement ultimately will be given the big bend route, or at least part of it, al though construction of a dam on the Columbia may force re location of part of that road. Last July 1 saw the opening of an important highway a 265-mile road from Prince George to a connection with the Alcan highway-at Dawson creek. It cost $9,750,000, and was seven years abuilding. This is an extension of the Cariboo road, which runs north from Hope, about 100 miles east of Vancouver, and follows the Fraser river for most of the 300-mile distance to Prince George. Motels in British Columbia1 are rated by the provincial gov ernment. They are all listed in a booklet given the tourist by! tne British Columbia govern-j ment travel bureau, and are; given ratings of one, two, three or four stars. In general the system appears' to work, but a tourist can be' confused by the mixture of the! relative and the absolute in: grading. A motel that would get one star in Vancouver may get three in a smaller place, because it is the best there is in that locality. ( Money Value Up The new money exchange; rate, which a few weeks ago' had a Canadian dollar worth about $1.02 or $1.03 in Amer ican money, is a source of both pride and trepidation for Ca nadians dealing with tourists. They are proud that the ex change pendulum - has swung even slightly in their favor, alter many years of having to pay a premium of up to 10 per cent for American money. However, they are sensitive to the prospect that American feelings might be hurt in a way mat wouia nurt tne Canadian tourist business. British Columbia has long been a favored vacation place for Oregonians, and nothing has nappened to change the place. The exchange situation simply adds a few pennies on the dol lar, but touring expenses in general are reasonable. planes droned overhead, while Army infantry, cavalry and mo torized units marched in the procession. Peron wore the uni form of an Argentine full gen eral, in contrast to the civilian clothing he has worn at previous observances of Mrs. Peron's death. Before the procession, various Argentine and foreign leaders delivered funeral orations at the capitol. A requiem mass at the CGT building completed the fu neral observance.
