Vancouver is the chief port of British Columbia and is a part of Canada. At least, that is what the maps tell you. But otherwise you would, scarcely. know it. For 1 heard the same accents, saw the seme sprinkling of Orientals, watched exactly the same system of traffic lights, paid the same flat rate c: fares, lunched at the same cafeterias, and bought my cigars at the same drug-stores, as I had been doing in the country tHat I had just left. Everything was externally exactly the same; even the cars were all American brands.
It came quite as a shock to me to see the Union Jack flying over a public building. The only difference I noticed was that there were no negroes to be seen about, and that there was an unduly high percentage of Scotch names.
The citizens of Vancouver seem to be rather given to superstition. At bodies.
