Many years ago when railway buil:- ors vame through the Skeena country the politicians said to the people. “Now behold, before you are frultfol lnnds that ave yours for the taking. Go. therefore into the regions that’ are nent and far and possess Then we, who are wise, and who gov- ern this land with great skill, will Inti you ronds so that you may travel with ease to Lhe eities that shell grow hoside the railroad.” And many of the people dil even as the politicians said.” ‘here were in the land in those days men whose names were Matt, who was also ealled Allard, and, Treston, who wis known to his friends as Bill; and one Garland who was commonly called Jack, and still another Bill whose ather name was Thompson. These aud: many others spied out the ards in the valley of the Kalum river coun- |: ry. even td the lake that. avhs = also kuown as Kalu. And they found ‘the land good, and they did settle thereon, and they cut: down many of the tall trees, and built for themselves: homes. ©. Then said they to the yoliticinns, “Wp have done evén'as you said unto ns. Lo, we have entered upon the lund, we have made for ourselves homes, Therefore, we beseach thee, fulfill to us the promises, and build us roads that we may come to the cities snd the towns and the villages that we mnay sell unto the peoples .all the good things that our labor hast pro- duced.” . Sa in due time the politicians sent many men into, the valley of the Kal- um and the men cut down the tall trees, and they pulled out the stumps the jand.|* the nnd. : ; ‘And lo, the politicians’ found that. their rond was across the river from the men who had taken possession of the land. — So they consulted together, and ther sent forth other wise men with divers tools, and these wise men said “Here ut the small lake thut is ‘called Sand, we will bulld a bridge so that these men may enter upon’ and enjoy the highway that has been builded.” j And it was ‘so, and the, bridge was builded. In. the bottom of the lake ealled Sand they drove many trunks of the cedar trees, so that the trunks were hell fast and that they should eatry the bridge to the Bills, and to Jack's and Matt's. And they decked the bridge with timhers of hemioch ‘ In ane time the timbers of hemlock * like unto their kind, decayed. ‘And. | fell into the waters of the river, nnd the biidge was no more. ‘Phen for many years the-men trou- bled the politicians. When the first politicians had become weartied of their tasks and retired, other politi- cians took their places. And the four men troubled the new politicians. After-muly yenrs it came to puss that the politicians beenme wearied or the traublings of the four men, and they said within themselves, “Behold, build nxn new bridge. But Jest these men contigue to trouble us we shall ibuild for them a skow that shall float ‘on the wators of the lake that is called when they had deenyed they broke and . we have not the money with which to{., to build four skows. Then he who was called.‘Treston and whose other name was Bill, arose and spoke unto the politicians, saying. “Rehold, I am the owner of a kow,.and these other men have no.-kows. At tines -I am sorely tried. for each year it is needful that my kow shall journey on the highway to the © place where kine are to he found. Therefore, I pray you, ‘consider my distress, and. tie the skow close by the door of my house Then T shall know penee and my: kow shall travel in comfort when the. time comes for her to jouriey on the high- wiy.” : . _ And the politiciius paid heed to his evies, and when the skow had heen builded -it was tled nenr the door of the Inu who had the kaw. And lo, when the skow floated on, the waters of the lake thnt is called | Sand, for the waters flowed not as do! the waters in the rivers. but some , waters. flawed one way and other wa- ters flowed other ways..and the. skov | would not go from the land on the one | the river. And the men, whose names were Thompson. Garhind .and Allard were exceeding wroth, For, snid ADard, “Behold, if I use the little boat that has carried me for Fed npon-: the. waters rested upon bottom of, the lake that was now dryy aide to the land on the other side of}. these many years, I shall have but a short way to walk to the side of the and he wis wroth and refused to use the skow. | oe Likewste Hill, also.
