Some sweeping amendments
to the Stock-Brands Act were
passed at the spring session of
the B.C. Legislature with a view
of tightening control and making
rustling of cattle more diificult.

The onus of proving owner-
ship of stock “alleged to have
been impressed with any brand
other than the registered brand
of the owner” now rests with
the accused person.

Ears and sealp may be re-
moved from the hide only under
permit signed by an inspector
pursuant to the Contagious Dis-
eases (Animals) Act.

A fine of not less than $250
is will applied to persons found

and the bond must accompany
the application for a licence.

Bonding for a stock-dealer
and agent requires $10,000 and
for’a stock-dealer alone $5,000.
Fee for a stock-dealer agent’s
licence is now $10.

Inspection stations may be
designated from time to time
and all catriers of stock, hides
or beef on a public highway or
a person driving or leading
stock to a point west of the pres-
cribed area or a point within
the prescribed area must report
to such stations for inspection,

there eight years ago, we seemed
quite isolated, being almost three
miles up the lake from the lodge
and not a soul near us. But
suddenly we are in the midst of
civilization. Farther along taere
is a cabin owned by some coast
people, and now a goodly chunk
is being sub-divided right up to
our very gate. Although the
Editor takes a dim view of this
march of progress, the distaff
-side is inclined to welcome the
approach of neighbors.

In our excitement we failed
fo notice the darkening skies
until our two protectors who had
also been showing us how to
bait the hooks and what bait to
use, warned that we should
go. But we were too late and
the storm broke in full force
before we reached the maim
road.

The tires on my friead’s car
were worn smooth, and for what
seemed like hours we inched our
