Mr. i Markham’s pictures took us through China (with along look through the Tron Curtain into Red China), through India, South America, Tokyo, and many other strange and color- ful lands. A reel was devoted solely to Bluff Lake Alpine country with plenty of game pictures and scenery that compared favourably with any- thing Mr. Markham had seen in his world travels. Numerous fishing scenes, abundant with fish, and with a few comic shots, sparkled through- ont his British Columbia reels. A final reel of Alaska brought us ail face to face with several families of huge Kodiak bear on a fishing spree of their own! The whole colorful show was im- mensely enjoyed by everyone pres- ent.

Dancing followed, with music sup- pied by several naturally gifted mu- sician: Terry Bruton, Phil Robert- son, Jimmy McKay, Jack Wasyliw and Eddie Schuk.

Most of this country was well rep- resented with several families from each part, all gathered on time for the show, which started at 9 p.m., and except for one short intermission, continued until 2 a.m. The show was held in the loft of Graham’s cow barn, gaily festooned for the occa- sion. For several breathtaking reels we went along on a safari out of Nairobi in the wilds of Africa to an elevation of around 7000 feet where grass grows to 6 ft. high "neath scattered accacia trees. Herds of wildebeast, zebras, antelope gazelles and many others by the thousands migrated tg the uplands before our fascinated gaze, while dignified lions, sometimes eight at one time, stalked the out- skirts.

AMHERSTBURG, ONT. ° VANCOUVER, B. C. a This advertisement is not published or displayed by the Liquor Control Board of the Government of British Columbia : Letters To The Editor Quesnel B.C., July 27, 1954. Editor The Tribune, Williams Lake, B.C. Dear Sir: I have forwarded to the Williams Lake Historical Association an ac- count book which recently came into my possesion. All the entries were meade in the early part of 1864, mak- ing it a valuable historical document. Apart from the prices noted, such as sugar at 62-%% cents a pound, veal 20 cents, beef 20 cents Ib., etc., which are quite interesting when compared to today’s prices — there is an entry at the top of each page which has me baffled. The entry reads “Soda City” yet the book was found in an old log building in what we now call Soda Creek. I have never, in all the historical+ volumes I have read, seen Soda Creek referred to as Soda CITY. Judge Ho- ay, in his History of British Columbia published in 1914 refers to the con- sstruction of the original Cariboo Road (in 1860 or 61) I believe) to Soda CREEK, yet this book dated 1864 uses the word CITY. I wonder if some of your historical- ly interested readers could throw some light on this point. Perhaps there are other documents referring to CITY rather than CREBK. It would be interesting to know just when and why Soda Creek became Soda CITY — and when it reverted to its original and present name. Yours very truly, A. Sahonoviteh, Cariboo Digest Ltd. One reason for discrepancies in Canadian and United States prices is that Canada has a 10 per cent gen- eral tax and the United States has not. 100 MILE NEW 20.
