This time, however, it has a distinctly Canadian twist, The fight Involves a flurry of economic warfare between American producers of power nenerntors, Who are trying to keep forelgn- made turbines out of the American niarket, and British manufacturers who are trying {a get them jn, ‘ . The first phase ended in victory for. the United States producers several months ago when a British firm—Englsh Electric Comp- any of London—submitted a bid of $1,450,700 ona US. government contract for two hydrau- He turbines for a dam and reservoir in Arkan- SOUS, Though the British bid was the lowest sub- mitted, Washington's Office of Civilian Defonaa Mobilization awarded the contract to tha Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corporation of Phila delphi, whieh offered to do tha Job for $1,787,- 210, on the somewhat nebulous: ground of “na- Hional security." ¥ + + U.S. Producers, In fighting foreign Imports, have argued that American power supplies ‘Would be threatened with breakdown In a no- tonal emergency if a substantial part of U8; renerating ecapaelty depended on overseas com- panies for repalr and maintenance, ' English Electric now js trying to undercut that argument.

A hall was built by volunteer labor in 1913, and one of the early settlers, a Mr. Torcelson, who belonged to the Salvation - Army, used to hold meetings there.

Hewitt, the United Church minister from Hazelton, came out to the Valley once a month ,to hold meetings at different “homes. About 1922 the first school was built near Mile 21 on the Kispiox Road; there were nine pupils and Charlie Neill, who now lives at Telkwa, was the first teacher. The school closed Four Mile School opened in 1925. This was 16 miles from Hazelton. Pupils could go to grade, 12 with the aid of the teacher and Depart- ence courses. At the. present time only one of these schools | remains open—the Upper Kis- piox School, with 15 pupils, located at Mile 20 on the east side of the Kispiox River. Today the valley is noted for its world renowned steelhead fishing and big game hunting. The game consists, of grizzly, moose, mountain goat and black bear. Farming, as stated previously, has been pushed into the background by log- ‘ging, and the days when the Love brothers were famous for their seed potatoes are gone. Three times running, from 1946 to 1948. the brothers won the “Watts and Nickerson Trophy’ at the Smithers Fair. Mrs. Love has 11 grandchild- ren and one great-grandchild. She is very active raising chickens and a garden. She is a great reader and keeps up to date on current events. She misses the old Farmers’ Insti- tute picnics that have been abandoned due to the popula- tion decrease but for the past, six years the Annual Stam- pede has taken their place. The annual stampede has be- come so popular that it has fi- nanced the building of a com- munity hall. qm the early days there were many house socials and dan- ces and half the fun was going and coming in sleighs or wag- ons. In the early 30’s, Upper Kispiox, Four Mile and Kispiox Village all had their baseball teams., Now, apart from the stamb@de and the Thanksgiv- ing Day turkey shoot, valley residents go to Hazelton. for thelr entertainment.
