their gay occupants wended their
way @own the Chilcotin Road,
over‘the open slopes south-west
of town, then back to the home

The party ended with a box
supper at the home of Dr. and
Mrs. J. B. Ringwood. Plans to
eat out-of-doors were cancelled
as most of the club had spent

at Pavilion, where
they resided for one year, then

moving to Lillooet for another
year, and finally settling at
Pavilion. William Lee, an
uncle who had taken part in the
Fraser River gold rush, had
established a flour mill there.

They lived at. Pavilion,
operating the flour mill, a
general store, post office and
telegraph office, until 1904,
when they moved to Ashcroft
and opened a general store. Mr.
Cumming was sheriff for the
district for a number of years
and served for 25 years on
Ashcroft School Board.

Mr. Cumming then purchased
the Ashcroft Journal in 1912,
and published it until his re-
tirement, when a son, Tommy,
operated it for 10 years. It is
