TATLAYOKO LAKE

SNOW PILES UP
AT TATLAYOKO

Our mild weather is over. A tem-
perature drop to 27 below zero rode
in on the teeth of a Nor’-easter on
January 4th, bringing unrelenting
show, which to date has stacked up
4-7 inches to its credit (not allow-
ing for shrinkage). With winter be-
coming suddenly so ‘weighty’ travel
was reduced to a minimum until Joe
Schuk was his bulldozer came snort-
ing through the drifts to connect us
with civilization. Working both day
and night he opened the valley road,
meeing up with re-enforcements in
the form.of Graham’s bulldozer pilot-
ed by Alf Bracewell, when enroute
to Tatla Lake. Consequently Hodg-
son’s stage got in on schedule and
everyone is happy.

‘Caught in the draught’ were the
three Olson Bros. of Lake Cowichan,
who entered the valley December 29,
prepared for a bit of cougar hunting.
The storm descendet on them while
they were at the far end of Tatlay-
oko Lake, freezing over the bay in
which they were harboured. After
chopping their way to open water
they faced stormy seas spiced with a
blizzard from the north. A stubborn
struck motor greeter their arrival at
the dock — while the snow came
steadily down — with the result the
trhek was thoroughly snowed in and
required the services of Joe’e bull-
dozer to extricate itself. They lett
the velley Wednesday.

Tatla Lake, West Bratch and Tatlay-
oko enjoying the New Year's Eve
dance held at Alexis Creek. (I haa
a grand time and sure enjoyed seeing
you-all again). We experienced the
ultimate in Chilrotin hospitality
when we stopped in to swell the
breakfast gang at Irene and Bill
Bliss’s on the way home.

WITH OUR bi-weekly mail day

| falling on New Year’s Day our an-

nual celebration was postponed until
Saturday. Despite high winds aud
soft roads there was a record turn-
out at the Circle X for the three-hour
-home movie followed by a buffet sup-
per and dance.

THE Gange family moved up to
Skinner meadow the day after Xmas,
‘where Don will be feeding cattle til
March. Shortly after getting settled
in, Don had quite an interesting ex-
perience. While chopping out a water
hole in the creek bed he glanced up
to see a coyote standing over him on
the bank. It showed no sign of fear
or intention of leaving. Not having
his rifie with him, Don promptly de-
cided on a strategic maneuver. Pre-
tending fear, he backed away a few
“steps. The ruse worked! The coyote
closed in. He continued on toward
the cabin with the coyote following.
Though the distance was well over a
hundred yards the coyote stalked
Don to the door and was waiting
when he re-appeared with his rifle-—
and shot it.

BIG CREEK

SNOW PLOW USED
FOR FIRST TIME

Eigtheen inches of snow has fall-
en here in the past week and Frank
and Duane Witte have had to plow
the Big Creek-Hanceville road for
the first time this season.

THE WATERS of Big Creek, peri-
odically flooding over, are providing
us with a natural skating rink this
year. A perfect stretch at Henry's
lured a number of skaters out last
Thusday for a very enjoyable eve-
ning. It was topped off as usual with
refreshments and gaiety.

DON WARDE is settled in at the
Marston Place where he will be feed-

swamp feeding for the Chilco Ranch.
NORAH WILSON will be in Royal

Inland Hospital, Kamloops, for an-
other two weeks undergoing an oper-
ation on her nose. We hope she will
be well again soon. Tom, who has
been with his wife since New Year,
returned home Friday. George De-
Junkeere has been looking after
things at the Bell in his absence.

EILEEN and OSCAR DUPONT
left last Monday for Vancouver,
where they will probably remain until
spring.

WM. MAXTEAD went out to Wil-
liams Lake last week, intending to

winter.
