the Quesnel country in additicn toa
trip here and there in the “local” aec-
tian, He hos so large a territory to
cover that he does not have much ‘time
for bridge and other pastimes once he
wets wnderway in the -spring. In the
Inte fall and winter he is kept fairly
well occupied catching up on his last
season's correspondence, preparing a
report for the big chief and looking
