Letter to, the Editor| Williams Lake, B.C., October Sth, 1954. The Editor, Williams Lake Tribune, Sir: During the informal discussion that followed the Annual Meeting of the Cariboo Historical Society, two points arose in one group, that might lead to argument, thus: é (1) Which was the first grain sep- arator to be used in Cariboo, the one at Soda Creek or the one at Williams Li hl This odvertizement 1s not published or disployed by the Liquor Control Boord or by the Government of British Columbia ~NEW HOME OF Beath Motors cviians ray Lfd, located at Corner of Oliver Street & 5th Avenue Now Under Construction Onening Dates, Nevemler 12 & 13 Dealers for Ford - Monarch - Fordson Tractor Farm Implements DICK MOQUIN, Resident Manager Williams Lake Lake? (2) Was the term Williams Lake applied to the settlement as well as to the body of water in the early days or did it just come into use during the present century with the advent of the railway? For what it is worth, I offer the fol- lowing evidence: In September of 1928, I was a member of the gang that threshed grain on Lot $854 with the.old Pinchbeck machine. One noon period was marked by two incidents (a) a group of us examined the date on the machine, 1867, associating it with the Year of Confederation and also of the year of birth of the late ‘Wm. Pinchbeck who ranched for years.on Chimney Creek and ended his working days as Brand Inspector at the local stockyards, ()) I took a snapshot of the group that included one son and three grandsons of the original owner. As to the name, Bishop Hills in his Journal of 18 under the date of July 11th writes that ‘Williams Lake farm and restaurant is run by David- sou, an American.” Later, on Sept. 7, he records staying at Woodward's farm at Williams Lake. In west Passage Milton and Dr. they walked from Soda Creek teen miles to Davidson’s near Wil- liams Lake”; this was in November of 1863. In one of his stories of the eary days, the late J. B. Leighton of Savona mentioned Tom Manifee’s Hotel at Williams Lake. I have sent this to you in the hope that it may induce the real oldtimers to share, their knowledge and mem- ories to supply the Historical Society with more complete data, and some interesting items for your readers. Vv ibe how ‘four- elected area representative. As an indication of how the living witnesses of local history are passing forever beyond our reach is seen in the fact that of the group in the snap- shot I took 26 years ago, four are now resting in the local cemetery and a fifth is buried at the coast. Thanking you for the space and hoping that this may lead to a profit- able discussion. Yours: truly, B. F.
