Round i

The Old Timers picnic and re-tnion
nt Round Lake Inst, Thursday after-
noon and evening was one of the big
events in the bistory of the interlor.
Lake section it was an

lin the Round

there was a great attendance at the
affair, People. were thre from many
points of th Bulkley Valley section
and many people saw each other again
for the first time in years, and there
wax lots of talking of the ently days
in the valley.

“The event was pat on by the Round
Lake Community Clab and :the Old
‘Timers were guests “of the club for
the afternoon and at the banquet at
xix oelock, “The committee in charge
performed their duties to perfection,
It wns a big undertaking and requit-
ed nich planing and thought, but the
way it’ was carried out und the sic-
com: of the affair must have heen a
hig sntisfaction to the comunittee, It
wie expected that two hundred woukl
he present and preparations had been
made for that number at the tables.
When supper time cume the Old Tim-
ers filed in first and took their places
and the staff of wattress were in their
places and did their job exceptionally
well. In fact the service was top hele
After the Old Timers were wl seated
ail others were welcome to fill up the
the sents. There was plenty for all.
There was spring chicken, early vege-
“tibles, salads-und ice cream~-in -abund-
mee, te on

It was a great feast and a merry
{ime aud the old timers were catered
to as they never had heen before. At.
the conclusion of the feast F. M. Dock-
rill, one of the real old timers among
the settlers and industrialists, presid-
ed over the toast list. He had a great
crowd to draw from for speeches as
three were over a hundred present who
had been in the valley since 1912 or
hefore, but he confined himself to the
very old timers, and there were eight-
teen enlled upon to relate their exper-
iencesiences. The first one was Har-

-yy Davis of Houston who blew into
the Valley in 1898 in search of gold
and settled down as a farmer nnd here
he has remained. Others called upon
were Neil “Mnefnnes, 1901; Chas. Bar-
rett, 1899," Mrs. Grhe LaCrolx, 1903;
W. Cocks. 1904; Erie Lenitaus, 1904;
Peter White, 1904 ;-Dudley Heal, 1004;
Ernie Heal, 1904; William CGrotean,
1905; R, L. Gale, 1905: A. Moran, 1905
Frink -Jobnston-. 1908; Joseph  Grit-

> fin, 1905; Irene Durham Bowie, 1906:
Tera MuacInnes, 1906; Bob Barger,
1906, ‘

All of the old timers did not make
speeches when their names were call-
ed as their gifts did not run to’ talk-
Ing in public, but others made up for
the deficiency. But the . keynote of
the speeches was the great hospitality
of those enrly days, Although grub
was not always as bonntlful as it had
heen at that picnic, the flrst words to
zreve a traveller ov na visitor was,
Come in and stay for n day or two.
If the new comer happened to be.In‘a
hurray he at least had to stay for a
meni, ;

There was a very strong feeling that
the event should be perpetuated and it
is qnit probable that the Round Lake
Conununity Club will take on the job
wean after so great a success this year
The highest praise is due the members
of th club, and espectally the commit-
tee Immediately in. charge.

“At night there was a, public dance
in the Comniunity Hall. tind. there was
