Jack Tressareau, who works for 4 Mile Ceek Ranch discovered the break early in-the morning and as he watched the rising creek waters swirled over the road and started cutting through. He immediately phones to R. A. Moon’s on the top of Sheep Creek hill and to the pub- lic works at Williams Lake in an effort to stop traffic. Ranchers were caught on the road, either camping at the side of the washout that measured approximate- ly 40 feet across and 20 feet deep, or were forced to wait in Williams were displayed by the representative. Several members, in discussing the proposition, pointed out that many town and district children haa = never seen a decent sized midway, and they thought the addition of the show to the Stampede would be well worth while from this point of view. The show 1s making up a circuit that will start in the Fraser Valley and continue northwards through the Cariboo. A suggestion on charging the In- dians $25 for each band as a form of admission to the grounds, was accepted by the meeting. Previously Indians have not had to pay to see the Stampede. It was also agreed that if this suggestion is acceptable to the Indians, that a $25 prize be awarded the band with the cleancci camp site om the grounds. The arena events program com- mittee reported their work just about completed. The race committee still has to report on the flat racing pro- gram, and until this is out the pro- gram for the two days of arena events cannot be finalized. id...
