Quesnel Lake Pulp
Project Hinted

First public hint of the possibility
of a large pulp mill development on
Quesnel Lake was made by ‘Angus
MacLean at Monday night's Liberal
party banquet.

Although Mr. MacLean did not
elaborate on the project he used the
reference to it to point out the need
for the Quesnel hydro development.
There is already a pulp mill estab-

lishment for Quesnel itself on the
books.

WILL the moose want to go back
to eating willow brush after faring
so well around the haystacks That
is what stockmen are asking as they
try to estimate just how much hay
the wild game did away with. One
thing they know is that the ordinary
stackyard fence is not going to keep
them out.

Latest moose story comes from
Stan Wright, who on going to water
his horses early one morning, found
a moose in the barn. Stan climbed
up onto the roof to give the moose,|
plenty of room to escape.

the two public works districts. The!
South Cariboo, with 2200 miles of

road is allowed $155,000 lor the
year’s work, and in the north Cari-
boo with only 1500 miles of road

there is available $156,000 to do the

work.

Neither divisional Engineer C. D.
Grigg or Angus MacLean, MLA, who
both attended the meeting were able
to supply the answer to the question
of how these allotments were made.
Mr. MacLean said the problem was
even more mystifying when you con-
sidered that the roads in north Cari-
boo were, if anything, in worse con-
dition than those of the south.

Asked if it was true that the Pub-
lic Works department was going to
hold to its original intention of go-
ing ahead with the work on ihe ’lake-
Mountain House cut-off rather than
using the money to work south to
the 150 Mile, Divisional Engineer
Grigg said that was the decision @

$5500 Fire Loss
In Small Mill Blaze

Another mysterious mill fire in
the district last Thursday morning
resulted in an estimated $5500 loss
to the small Whiskey Creek Saw-
mills plant.

The mill, which produces around
four thousand feet a day was operat-
ed jointly by Ed. Harding and S. F.
Patterson. The fire was discovered
about 3.30 in the morning and de-
stroyed the small mill and a quan-
tity of lumber piled on the property.

A Lac La Hache man was fined
$250° and costs in police court this
week on a charge of supplying liquor
to an Indian.

OBITUARY
WATSON — Passed away in hos-
pital in Vancouver, April 10, 1952,
Kathleen Watson of Port Alice, B.C.
Survived by her loving husband,
Bruce; mother, Mrs. James Armes,
Vancouver; 5 sons, Erie J. Earle,

Brought up at last Thursday’s meeting of the Beard o:
Trade, this question raised enough interest in the 30 members
present that they decided to enquire futher into the problem.

Difference in Maintenance
Costs Interests Local Board

Why should it cost more per mile to maintain roads in the

in the south?

N

McCallum, Chief Engineer.
Board president Bert Roberts said
he considered the department had
shown a complete Iack of regard for
the board's wishes when it haa nol
been consulted by Mr. McCallum on
his recent visit to the district,
ay Hargreaves, one of the mem-
bers of the recent delegation to Vic-
toria, told Mr. Grigg that he believed
the board’s understanding that the
department could not carry out high-
way construction work such as the
cut-off as cheaply as private con-
tractors had been substantiated by
the words of Evan Jones, Deputy
Minister.

Mr. Hargreaves said he told Mr.
Jones that this board had been given
to understand the department could
do this work just as cheaply as pri-
vate contractors and that Mr. Jones
had replied ‘That is a ridiculous
statement. The Department of Pub-
lic Works cannot do it cheaper than
private contractors.”

The secretary was finally instruc-
ted by the board to write to Victoria
demanding the presence of Mr. Jones
and Mr. McCallum in Wiliiams Lake
to meet with the road committee on
this question.

Mr. Roberts reported that the ag-
ricultural committee would be func-
tioning as soon as country roads im-
-Proved, and that there was every
indication that an agricultural field
day would be held this summer.

Advised that the Clinton Chamber
of Commerce was being formed
again, the secretary was instructed
to write to the southerp.\centre to
ascertain the date of the group’s
installation night and whether they
would like a delegation trom Wil-
‘liams Lake to attend.

A lengthy communication was
read from Davie Fulton, M.P., with
regard to the air mail question for
Williams Lake. Mr. Fulton, accord-
ing to the copies of correspondence
enclosed, is contacting every depart-

n.

tempt-to gain
his efforts were appreciated by the
board members who moved a yote
of thanks for his help.

Fly To Convention

That they take their polities seri-
ously in the rural areas was demon-
strated Monday when Tom Morgan,
Sr. ,of Alexis Creek and Ren Hance
of Hanceville took to the air to at-
tend the Liberal convention here.

Faced with almost -impassable
road conditions the two men ap-
proached John Wade of Chileo Ranch
who kindly donated the ranch plane
for the trip. Pilot Bob Ransom flew
the men into town.

“Just another demonstration of the
neighborliness you'll find in the
Cariboo,” said Mr. Hance in speak-
ing of the incident.
