Both these floods were caused by the hot wind, hot weather and heavy snows and rains combined. The results of these floods are well known. To the railway alone the damage and cost were tremendous andj the public suffered heavily from the havoc and resulting loss. We have now a long-wlshed-for public highway along the Skeena River, built for safety purposes. The Skeena River has changed Its course in many places from side to side in the valley and that will always con tinue west of the Little Canon The birds like me.

Some of the practical reasons for attempts to make It rain or snow include: relieving parched crops, combatting forest fires. refilling irrigation reservoirs. covering ski-runs with snow, an blanketlns tender crops with snow to protect against low temperatures. Relieving a heat wave by pro ducing a cooling rain is still too grandiose a conception.

One of the chief sponsors of the British North America Act, it was Gait who personally drafted the recommendations which led to Confederation. As Minister of Finance, Canadian High Commissioner, diplomat and statesman. Gait played a distinguished part in Canada's growth. In 1622 CALVERT said: "Preserve Unity... and Good Government" OVER THREE CENTURIES ago Calvert wrote of the New World: "It shall prove to be the source of riches ... here are many things of much good." Founder of historic colonies in the early 1600's and Secretary of State to King James I.Calvert may well have foretold Canada's great future when he said: "Fair dealings lead to union . . . they would t tawjiirr..
