How. I enjoy these grand-
motherly years. when, with
children grown, married and
gone, there’s a little more time to
track down interesting stories
and information.

Like, for instance the story. of
the Whitworth Ranch in the
Skagit River Valley.

I heard of it through a casual
remark about an historic ranch,
the Whitworth Ranch, that was
now under water. And, from a
topographic map, I knew that
just west of the Skagit River
Valley is a Whitworth Peak.

So, with these slight clues, and
with the help of the staff in the
Provincial Archives, I read the
three newspaper cuttings in the
Whitworth, Henry Robert, file.

One was from the October 20,
1949 issue of the Kelowna
Courier, Another was from the
October 20, 1949 issue of the
Vancouver Province. Both were
obituaries ‘of Henry. Robert

Whitworth who had died at the:

age of 86. One of the few
remaining survivors’ of ‘the
Northwest Rebellion, he had
emigrated to Canada in 1882, and,
in 1904, operated a Skagit Valley
cattle ranch which. was | sub-
sequently sold to the. City of
Seattle. Mrs. Whitworth had
predeceased her husband in 1937:

The third cutting was from the
- Kamloops Sentinel. Dated Oc-
tober’ 30,1941, it’ was. a’ British’
United Press ‘story ‘from: Hope,
B.C. Favorite Holiday. Spot near

Hope to be Victim of Mareh: of

Progress, it declared.

-The story said that the. Whit-
worth estate, known as the “nard:
luck’’ ranch, had been purchased
by the City. of. Seattle and’ soon
: would be converted into a ‘giant

lake. A power company, it added,

had built:a dam. known. as the

Diablo. Dam_ across ‘the Skagit
River, and. when: it went. into™:

Two cyclists, living 8%
miles apart, agree to meet
on the road about mid-
distance between them.
They both leave at. the

Just as Dan leaves, a wasp
on his handlebars flies off

him and immediately turns
round and flies back to

lake up into British Columbia for
nine miles instead of one.

Did we, through our elected
representatives, refuse per-
mission because this valley and
its wildlife, fly-fishing streams
and miles of spawning gravel
were of great. value now to the
exploding population of this
general area, and would become
increasingly valuable? No we did
not. We chose the fast buck.

In January, 1967, Seattle Light |

was. given a 99 year lease so it
could flood 6,300 acres for the
measly compensation of $34,500.

That’s peanuts.. A British
Columbian must pay. $25 an acre
to lease Crown Land on lake or
river and the lease is only for 21
years.

This. short-sighted, deplorable
Skagit River scheme affects us
here, too. For. that Valley ‘is an

easy weekend trip. You turn off |

the Cross Canada highway just

‘after Flood, and well short of -

Hope, follow Silver Creek, pass

Silver Lake reach the height of °- .

land and then’ go .down into the
valley. of the Skagit which lies

_ below the 1700 foot contour. Catch

the 7 a.m. ferry from Swartz Bay
and by going steadily, you could
bein the Skagit by lunch.

Already, thousands of British
Columbians .are protesting
through the B.. C.. Wildlife
-Federation, the Federation of B.
C. Naturalists which includes the
Victoria Natural History Saciety

and -the Thetis Park Nature

Sanctuary Association. The
Sierra Club of B. C. protests the
