to get the electricity this sum-
mer. It was promised by the
Power Commission that if we
got around that many names
they would consider coming into
our community.

It was announced that the
Board of Trade would hold a
banquet at Minac Lodge, Canim
Lake, on Saturday, March 3rd.
Tickets available to all members
and would-be members of the
B of T.

The members also decided it
would be a good thing for the
group to join the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce again. It
was passed that in the future
refreshments would be served
after the meeting as a cup of
coffee and a little sociability
goes a long way to make a meet-
ing a success.

A MEETING of the P.-T.A.
was held in the school February
6, with an attendance of about
27. Owing to the January meet-
ing coming so soon after the
New Year and so much cold
weather it was cancelled so there
was quite a lot of left over busi-
ness to settle thus taking up
most of the evening. In the ab-
sence of Mrs. Mason there were
no refreshments served. The
next meeting will be held on
March 7th. A letter has been
written to Lee Straight of the
Vancouver Sun, asking him to
come up om that date and show
his lantern slides so hope all will
watch for further announce-
ments. It was \announced that
the school children had collect-
ed enough money to buy a radio
phonograph for the school.

A MEETING of the Women’s
Institute was held at the home
of Mrs, J. Aldred on Wednesday
afternoon. There was a very
large attendance with two visit-
ors attending. Some resolutions
were brought up to be voted on
for the Convention and every-
one agreed they should be car-
ried further. The next meeting
to be held at the home of Mrs.
Chas. Lauder on March 7, roads

DRIFTWOOD

by

=e Joe Gibault & Lawson Sugden

A bleached log, washed up on
a wave-swept beach is passed un-
noticed, or at the most, looked
upon only as potential sirewood,
otherwise a nuisance. But that
log, its edges rounded by years
of wave action, hag travelled
miles, toughed on many shores
and witnessed countless events.
It has seen the ducks ind geese
flighting northward in spring,
and passing again in the autumn

daughter-in-law.

JOE PAULSON was taken to
Kamloops hospital on February
7 with a back injury. He has
been employed by Bakken’s saw-
mill. z

MRS. STAN BELTON is in
hospital in Nanaimo. Her two
granddaughters have been left to
take charge of the home and
look after grandfather and
younger brother.

JERRY MASON,-only son of
Mr. and Mrs. Glen Mason, was
rushed to Kamloops hospital
last week with rheumatic fever.
Last’ reports it was expected to
get him into hospital next day
as there was no bed available on
arriving. His mother has not as
yet returned.

ROBERT WHITE met with a
slight accident on his way to
school Wednesday morning. He
stepped out of the way of a half-
ton truck that was passing when
it skidded on the icy road and

in front of the
truck and it ran over his leg.
On examination by Mr. -Thomes
of Graham's Garage they did not
think any bones were broken
and he was able to go back to
school atter a few days.

on their southward migration to
wintering grounds, It has seen
the salmon ascend the streams
to spawn and die, their life
cycle completed, and perhaps
once during its life it has watch-
ed a boiling flash flood carry
away the spawn from the same
stream beds. It has seen raging
forest flres on distant hills, and
the wilderness creatures ‘leeing
in blind panic to escape. It has
seen pollution, the evil by pro-
duct of man’s modern progre:
carried by rivere and streams.
Then too, it has seen man at
play in the great outdoors—fish-
ing, hunting, camping, or simply
relaxing on some quiet beach.
Yes, the drifting log could tell
many things.

Like the log, this column
“DRIFTWOOD,” will touch on
many shores, and discuss many
subjects, but always it will re-
late to the outdoors and wise
conservation of natural resourc-
es. We may deal with the ballis-
ties of a new sporting rifie;
steelhead fishing on a particular
river; bow and arrow hunting;
the mountain goat and its hab-
its; trap shooting; fire and
game management; or a variety
of similar themes.

Each week we will endeavor
to have a section headed ‘Chips’
which will imelude brief news
of interest to readers — partic-
ularly anglers and hunters, For
example, the Alexis Creek Trap
Club plans a steelhead derby on
the Chileotin River during part
of April.

In addition, depending upon
reader response, there will be a
question and answer section en-
titled ‘Snags.’ Questions relative
to the general theme of the
column are invited. Publication
priority will be given those of
general interest, however an at-
tempt will also be made to
answer all unpublished questions
submitted.

Grazing Fees
On Range Down

In view of the fact that it re-
fects the reduced cattle prices
of last year, ranchers receive
little satisfaction in hearing the
Forest Service announcement
that the grazing fees for use of
Crown range are down le per
head per month for cattle. Since
1950 grazing fee charges have
been governed by livestock mar-
ket prices. The weighted aver-
age price of all cattle sold in
the Vancouver stock yards dur-
ing the year immediately past is
compared to the corresponding
weighted average price for the
year 1939. Average prices in
1939 were $5.12 per cwt. for
cattle and $7.11 per cwt for
sheep and lambs. Fees at that
time were 5c per head per month
for horses.

Comparing the 1955 weighted
average price of $12.05 for all
cattle sold through Vancouver
stock yards to the 1939 price
and grazing fees, the calcula-
tion brings the 1956 grazing fee
for cattle to 12¢ per head per
month. Fees for horses being
1% times those of cattle make
the 1956 horse fee 15¢ per head
per month. The 1955 price for
sheep and lambs of 15.40 sets
the 1956 sheep fees at 2%c per
head per month. Fees for hay
cutting permits on Crown range
remain the same as last year, at
$1.00 per ton,

Production costs which have
risen steadily over the past 20
years place the rancher in the
position that from his ranch op-
eration he is no better off fin-
ancially today than he was in
the mid-thirties. j

quick review of livestock prices
and grazing fees over the past
