Walters No. 6 Repeater Station Mile 1oi Alaska Highway B.C. Dear Editor: Due to a request from the peo- pie around aur community of Newtonville, 1 arn sending you a stary of our trip to British Colum- bia an the Alaska Highway. The Canadian National Telegraphs or- dered me to, be in Edmonton, AI- berta, March 1, 1947, so due to travelling time we lef t Toronto Feb. 24 arriving there, morning of 27th at 6:40 a.m. 0f course the housin-g situation is .very much the sarne as down there, however, we managed to get a room in the Yale Hotel on Jasper Ave. My wife, myseif and son Bruce had no idea where our destination would take us from there. Irhe following day I was posted to Blueberry, B.C. I was really on the spot then, because I had ta leave my family in Edmonton un- tii I had fixed up a bouse at Blue- berry to live in, so, the next day I toured the city until 1 found a sultable place for them to live. Our.trip across the prairies was flot very exciting as it was very cold, although we saw miles and miles of level fields with small settiements here and there. I left Ed.monton on March 3 on the Nor- thern Aiýberta Railroad that took me to Dawson Creek ta Mile 0 of the Highway, I then was in the Peace River Country. The next morning the British Yukon Navigation bus lef t for up the iiighway. Around il a.m. we started ta descend four miles ta the Peace River. 1 arn enclosing a picture of the Bridge, it certain- ly is woncterful to see. From there we travelled into Fort St. John, where there are two hotels, a number of stores, post office and a Bank of Commerce, with lots of Indians walking around. Blueberry is fifty miles north of Fort St. John, and,. is situated in a very heavily wooded area, and WHAT OTRERS SAY Municipal spending .jumps (The Financial Post) Municipal authorities, watching carefufly the pré -election pram- ises af elécted couneils and other representatives,- are adding *up 1947 totals and shawing same alarm, particularly at the pros- pecta ofa i spénding spree" on items whidli might be shelvéd at ,the présent time. Here's the picture: At.Uic end ai 1946, the gross dcbt af Canadian municipalitiés was estimated at $860.7 millions. At the end of 1947, it is con- servately estimatéd, the debt may bé close ta $950 millions. In 1937, total municipal tax col- lections were $264.6 millions; in -s ver nce except that the moi- quo aaevery thick in thc surn- moer. The ones wc have ini On- tario are just babies compared with tiiese. It is grand here in tic summer, the doays are warm and the nights cool. This fali when the leaves turned in color, well, I, have seern quite a lot o:! the world but there is nothlng that I have seen that can even compare with it. I would like ta advise anyone that is thinking of a vacation, that I have been 635 miles up the highway to Watson Lake in the Yukon and there is something new and different around every corner and there certainly are lots of them. We are only thirty-five miles ifrom the foothulîs of the Rockies here and travelling the road ai what is called Steamboat, Mountain you cross anc range af them. The bears are very thick ini the sumuner. I was lucky enough'ta stanid in our back door and shoot a nice black bear. There are lots of moose and doeer and wolves, flot many two-legged anes. There are four linemen an this station, another chap and I, pa- trol aur Une with a jeep and have around a hundxed miles to look after. We have 71 miles of Une going to an emnergency landing strip, also a weather station going off the higbway. To Beatton Riv- er, on the 71 miles, there isn't any one living except a.few In- dians at .Blueberry River. The Company, is putting new bouses up here now but material seems to be the hold-up at pres- ent, bowever, we are very fortu- nate. We are having running wa- ter, also elecrtic power. Across the highway is a maintenance camp that keeps the highway in top shape. We also have a school with fourteen pupil s in. attend- ance. The company supplies shows once a wieek sa we aren't as bad off up here as people would think so far away. We buy our grocer- les wholesale and they are deliv- ered twice a month from Dawson LCreek. 1Well folks we stili lihe Ontario 1but we think this country has just about everything the beart desir- es.
