More About Bella Coola

ing the minister so we mingled with
the valley folk and made ourselves
acquainted. |

When Mr. Jones’ black Buick hove
into sight, preparations started tort
the ribbon cutting. mainly consisting
ot moving the convoy ahead to make
way for the official ear. The ribbon
was strung across the road and the
narrow roadway was crammed with
spectators as the minister stepped
out. *
Before cutting the ribbon, officially
opening the third route to the Pa-

e, Mr. Gaglardi praised the peo- |
ple of the area for their persistent |.
enterprise in making their own road |
outlet dream a reality. He then de-|
clared the road open and went on to |
unveil and read the bronze plaque
nearby.

The Bella Coola residents we had
been speaking to had warned us that
“we hadn’t seen anything yet” if we
thought thé grade on the mountain
road so far had been a steep one. We
were soon to agree with them. Your
car twists and turns down the moun-
tain for the next eight miles or so at
about a ten percent grade. Fortun-
ately the roadbed is rock, although
one shale spot gives trouble going up
hill. There are two bad switchbacks,
one that trucks have to back up to
negotiate.

Down on the floor of the valley
you encounter typical coast condi-.
tons. Heavy- undergrowth predomin-
ates below the giant cedars. These.
latter trees form the basis of a
healthy logging industry and all day,
long trucks travel the valley, haul-
ing the forest products to the sea.

You are now about 40 miles from
Bella Coola, which incidentally
means ‘beautiful valley’ in Chinook.
And the valley is beautiful. You tra-
vel down it for 40 miles, paralleing
the Bella Coola River, famed as a
sport fishing stream. There is little
of the forest cleared for farming at
the upper end of the valley, but as a
tourist attraction its cathedral quiet
groves of cedars and mountain
streams rushing to meet the main'|
river are enough,

About ten miles from the coast is
the small centre of Hagensbourg,
where the camp of Northern Pulp-
woods Ltd., is located. It was in the
modern dining hall of this camp that
the travellers were treated to a buf:
fet supper, courtesy of the company.
To those who had gone all day with
nothing more thaf a sandwich on the
road, the ‘mountains of food disap-
| peared with a speed that must have
| proved both alarming and satisfying |
| to the company chef.

From there we moved to the com=

high school is located.

There are only about 600 people
living in the valley, which makes
their road accomplishment even more
astounding.

The following day the first group
of vehicles moved off around noon.

The small bronze plaque on the

shortly after midnight as the rock
illuminated by the headlights of

Since there are no hotels or auto
courts in the valley, the residents
looked after billeting the visitors,
showing a hospitality that could well
be the distret’s greatest asset.
