SIR ALEXANDER MacKENZIE reached the
Pacific in 1793, the first white man to pen-
etrate the coastal mountains and traverse
the continent. He is shown wearing a ‘“‘hang-
er,’ a short sword convenient for travelling
in nrough country, similar to one carried
by Wolfe. He narrowly missed what would
hove been a historic encounter with Capt.’

was surveying the west coast shoreline and
islands. Mackenzie was Scottish fur trader
and explorer, He had become a partner in
the North West Co. and was stationed at
Fort Chipewyan in Athabasca. After a great
exploratory journey to the Arctic Ocean in
1789, he led a 10-week pioneering expedition
along the Peace, Parsnip, Fraser, Black-
water and Bella Coola rivers to the Pacific

coast. There he wrote a famous inscription
on a large rock in Dean Channel, possibly
to impress sailors and win their respect for
land lubber explorers: ‘Alexander Mackenzie,

by the Hon, R. G. WILLISTON, Minister of
Lands and rorests

When the 1966 annual report of the B.C. Forest
Service was tabled in the Legislature recently, it was
satisfying but hardly surprising to see that the two
northern forest districts are more than holding their own
in the expansion of forest activity in the province, Here
ore a few items of interest concerning the-Prince George
and Prince Rupert Forest Districts,

While the total provincial[bined ent of the two districts

1965 to 26.6 per cent in 1966,
representing an “increase of
35.5 million cubic feet of tim:
ber which brought their total
cut for the year up to 4262
Inillion cubic feet.

More than half of British
Columbia's _ forest “land. being
operated under sustained yield
management is located in the
two northern districts, Of the
more than 86 million product-
ive acres under sustained yield
in the province, nearly 446
million acres are in the Prince
George and Prince Rupert dis-
iniets. .

There are 76 public sustained
yleid units in the province con-
taining 75.5 million productive
acres with an annual commit-
ment of 854-8 million cubic feet
of timber. Our two northern
forest districts have 33 public
sustained yield units with a
total of 40.6 million productive

-| acres and an annual commit.

ment of 311.3 million eubic
feet. Twenty-two of these units
are in the Prince George dist-
rict with a total productive
acreage of 27.4 million and an
annual committment of 214.5
million cubic feet.

Under the private sustained
yield unit program, the Prince
Rupert district thas six tree
farm licences with 3.6 million
productive acres and an allow-
able annual cut of 90.3 million
cubic feet, compared te four
tree farm licences with nearly
half a millian geres and on

allawable annual cut of 119
million feet in the Prince
George district. Award of Tree
Farm Licence No. 41 to Euro-
can Pulp and Paper Co, Ltd. at
Kitimat accounted for half a
million acres in the private
sustained yield units. The grow-
ing” trend ‘towards: adoption of
the new close utilization policy
was particularly noticeable in
the Prince George district
where impetus was given by the
flourishing pulp and paper in-
dustry. :

Like the rest of the province,
the two forest districts enjoy-
ed a comparatively quiet fire
season, although the Prince
George district suffered the
greatest amount of forest cover
burned because of two large
fires in the ‘north-eastern area
of the province during the sum.
mer,

Although, 1,967 forest fires
wete recorded -province-wide
during the year — well below
the 10-year average of 2,117.
Of the 1966 total, the Prince
Rupert district had 210, or 10.8
per cent, while the Prince
George district had 25, or 13.1
per cent.

Lightning was again the maj:
or single cause, accounting for
19.1 per cent of the provinciai
total, 19.5 per cent of those in
(he Prince Rupert district, and
23.6 per cent of those in the
Prince George district.

Smokers formed the next
greatest single cause but north-
ern smokers appeared to be a
little more careful] than their
sauthern eounterparts. While
smokers generally were blamed
for starling 14.3 per cent of all

the province's forest fires, only
5.7 per cent of the Prince Rup-
ert district fires and 7 per cent

Than Hold Own

of those in the Prince George
district were attributed to
them.

However, recreationists were
responsible for 17.6 per cent
of the Prince Rupert district
fires, compared to 11.7 per
cent of the provincial total and
11.6 per cent of those in the
Prince George district.

Of the nearly 55,000 acres of
forest cover burned throughout
the province almost 44,000
acres were burned in the
Prince George district, while
the Prince Rupert district es-
caped comparativély lightly
with 3,000 acres, These are
relatively encouraging figures.
when compared to the 10-year
average of 438,000 acres of
forest cover burned. |

In reforestation there was
particularly good news, The
large collection of seed in
the history of British Columbia
forestry was made in 1966. Of
the 35,000 bushels of cones
collected under Forest Service
supervision, 11 per cent was
collected in the Prince Rupert
Forest district,

Regreftably, in the Prince
George district the entire crop
of both spruce and Douglas-fir
seed was lost to insects, frost
and disease, Offsetting this mls-
fortune to an extent was the
good news that the spruce bark
beetle threat to the sustained
yield program in the district’s
spruce types had abated and
the population of the insect
was considered to have become
normal zgain.

Petliaps the most important
development of the year in re-
forestation was the final acqui-
sition of. the Red Rock nursery
site near Prince George.

Re: Kitimat Houses
Tha problem of allowing

‘Terrace residents to bring par-

tial or completed buildings in
from other communitles for
reconstruction as. dwelling
places, reared its head again
last Tuesday evening at a spe-
etal meeting of Municipal Coun-
cil, an
A request from Mario Da
Costa of Terrace for permission
to bring in a Kitimat house, was
deferred after considerable dis-
cussion by Council.

Frettch said, “There are some
people who simply cannot af-
ford anything more than one
of these Kitimat ‘houses. We
taust try and find a solution
that has some teeth in it but
that is fair to these people,”

Councillor Vie Jolliffe sug:
gested that the Administration
should explore the possibility
of a bonding system for owners
and projected owners
Kitimat houses,

The Da Costa application was
tabled together with two other
similar applications and Muni-
cipal Administrafion was in-
stucted to give the matter some
consideratiion and te come up
with a recommendation for the
next regular Council meeting.
