Page.6 - THE TRIBUNE, WinLiams LARB, 2.6. -» 9 WITH IRENE More Doings At Chimney Lak .We tried a new experiment last weekend and this time next year we will give you a full account of whether it works or not. In common with a lot of Cariboo lakes, Chimney Lake has little or no beach surrounding it and there- fore makes dangerous paddling for the little fry who are liable to step too far and disappear from view. Our lakefront is no exception and so we are trying to do some- hing about it. With the logging peration working near our roperty, it was a simple matter arrange for the bulldozer to jome over Sunday and carve a all bay from the shoreline hear our cabin. And so with capable John Lemky of Horsefiy atthe con- trols, the powerful machine pushed and shoved and cut out yards of soil and pushed it into the lake. We watched for two hours and I was constantly sur- prised at what these small jug- gernauts can do. John drove it right out into- several feet of water in the lake, arid I bit my nails waiting for it to drop off the hidden ledge out of sight, or to at least get bogged down. But it turned and backed up and stood on its nose, and never faltered once. _ This probably sounds naive to a lot of you, but although I have seen hundreds of bulldozers and watched them work briefly at odd times, I have never spent any concentrated amount of time on a job to realize what an amazing machine it is. I asked John if it was a hard job to drive one, and he said quizically “I suppose it looks easy?” When I admitted rather hesitantly that just shifting lev- ers back and forth didn’t seem too hard, he replied that it was the continual jarring all day long that tired a person out. And I know that the two small Mit- chell boys who jumped up excit- edly to ride beside him on the brief: jaunt from gate to cabin, rode-With solemn faces and Ger- ry confided afterwards “It sure was bumpy.” If the lake will just co-operate now and swirl in to fill our bay with clean sand, we can mark it up as ‘mission successful.” RIDING AGAIN A cute story emanating from our Chimney Lake holiday has caused us many a chuckle since, and it concerns those same horses I spoke of last week. On the morning in question, ‘we drove our car over to Petro- witz’s ranch and rode the horses back to the lodge. During the day we shared the horses with a charming American couple from Oregon and their sixteen- year-old son Erritt and eight- year-old Susan. In the evening we wanted to go fishing, so Erritt and little Susan volunteered to ride the horses back and pick up our car. When we returned from our fishing jaunt, they met us at the wharf. “How did you make out?” I asked with interest, as they were Tank amateurs at riding like myself. “Oh we weren’t sure of the way and tried to turn back at one point,” laughed Erritt, “but those horses knew the way home and they wouldn’t turn back for anything.” “And gee, we met a couple of bulls who were fighting and there was blood and gore all over the place,” he continued. “Gosh,” I breathed, “what did you do? I would have been ab- MOVING?

We listened in the breathless silence, amazed at the courage of these two youngsters. “Yes... " 0 urged, ‘then what happened? .. .” “Oh I just honked the horn and they moved off the road,” Erritt returned calmly. We stared at him for a mo- ment before exploding into help- less laughter, with young Erritt gazing at us in wonder. He did- n't realize that he had neglected to tell us that they had met the bulls on the way back secure in the safety of the car. As I have mentioned before, Ward entertains us with pier ing shouts of “cow, cow, cow’ on our way to and from Chim- ney Lake. I remarked on our last jaunt that “cow was one of the first words that Elsine had mastered when she was small. Leaning over from the back seat with interest, Elaine said “That was when I was a little girl like Ward, wasn’t it? ... I mean, when I was a little boy like Ward . . .
