CONFLICT

The hearings of the External Af-
fairs Committee on the International
Rivers Bill have been concluded for
the time being. General MacNaught-
on returned on Thursday of this
week, to give his wind-up evidence.
It consisted largely of a repetition.
‘with some elaboration in detail, of
what he had said hefore to the effect.
that the proposed Arrow Lakes stor-
age dam would bea disaster, and run
entirely counter to the best program
of development of the Columbia basin
in the interests of Canada. There was
no reconciliation between his view,
that the proposed Arrow Lakes stor-
age could not be implemented with-
out running counter to further Col-
umbia developments in the interests
of Canada, and the view of the B.c.
experts that it could be.
CONCLUSION

Members of the Committee, par-
ticularly those from British Colum-
bia, are therefore in an awkward
Position. We are laymen trying to
meke a decision on a technical mat-
ter, and the only technical evidence
we have is completely conflicting.
There is. however, in my mind no

ASHCROFT PAPER
NOW IN 60th YEAR
OF PUBLICATION

Completion of 59 years of con-
tinuous publication was marked b.
‘he Ashcroft Journal last week. a
record that only half a dozen other
weekly newspapers in British Col-
umbia can match, according to the
Journal's story.

The Journal made its initial bow
to the world on May 9, 1895, under
the name of “B.C. Mining Journal,”
because the country’s ninety per cent
interest was mining at the time even
though there were 20 sawmills north
of Asheroft. At a later date when
more and more settlers came and
took up land and mining dwindled,
the Journal changed its name to
“Ashcroft Journal.”

Volume 1, No. 1 issue of the Jour-
al has been framed and preserved
and is in the Journal Museum. Every
issue during the 60 years of publi-
cation has been bound info books
and are available.

The Journal is still in its old build-
ing. The old orginal machines have
been long discarded and more moa-
ern ones installed. The first type-
setting machine was a Monoline,
which the present editor operated
and avas run by gas and one cylin-
der engine. If present weekly editors
who operate the linotype think the
have something to swear at the.
should have listened in when the
Monoline was in operation.

a very slow roller type, and, one

operated it from 1895 to 1902: J. B
Knight 1902 - 1908; D. W, Rowlands

his retirement was run for about ten
