Civil aviation in Canada is almost unknown to the majority of her people, as its operations are carried out in the vast hinterland for the purposes of forest and fish conservation, air survey and the rapid transport of prospectors and scientists in their work of the i wooden Irnntmrf rnnfoa ir ha Vmr,i,- Tt,o.. v.l....l.. to ba found Within its COWines, ,...urv.. vwvo ... ..a uujiiv. ihc?c iii mi ausuiuiciv cummer- Hal l.u.ls havin.r nn ..nt .1,.M.. f..,. ...u llhl .... v8' " . . lt . rPle , re unl1ue ta , Means of transportation, their relative difficulty or ease, their speed, safety and comfort play a great part in fhe history of civilization. The railway, steamship, automobile, telegraph, telephone and radio have greatly modified our political, industrial and social conditions. Air transportation, in its turn, must now be added to attracting public attention to the need for improved forest sen-ices. flying Has provided for this want, and the government of Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia have established air services for this tlist they exist tn an aloofness that Is incomparable at this stage of Canadian civilization.

HAS'IIEEN AN Jv UPHILL STHUOGLE. ' So tar as private services are concerned, the development of ayjatlon in Canada, as elsewhere,; has beenjan uphill struggle. Formerly, one great handicap to the 'development of commercial flying in Canada was the short operating season. Several companies, however, have now overcome this handicap, and are operating through, out the winter month.t with success. t These commercial services operate in various capacities, the principal work being fire protective services for various pulp, paper and lumber companies, and the transport of men and supplies from the railways to the more re-mote mining camps. Examples of winter work being carried on, this feason, include the patrol of the Hudson Straits, in order to determine ice conditions during the winter months, the transport of men and material from the railhead to Port Nelson, and the scouting of seal schools ln the North Atlantic for the sealing fleet. Commercial flying may be said to have passed beyond the pioneer stage; and, given efficient management and suitable types of aircraft, its extension will come naturally on an economic basis.

Almost due north of Kit-wanga, of totem pole fame whose beauties have been yearly enjoyed by travellers along the railway line, lies this secluded vUlage. snuggling In the valley of the Kltwancool River, a trlbu-tray to the Skeena. Here, the Kltwan-cools live, forming a community of some five hundred people. It is a village typical of almost all Indian settlements lr. British Columbia.

On the advice of one of the traders, who at that time was accepted .n a friendly manner the fugttlve eventually showed himself at the edge of the clearing, apparently ready to come and help in the clearing up of the mystery In the excitement, an overzeilous policeman, fearing that Most of the visitors i ne might be armed, shot Kltwancool Jim dead. And so was engendered the trouble between the government and the Kitwancools. a trouble which has been kept alive by more than two generations and which mill probably exist for many years to come, for the younger lies a vast extent of viririn rnnntrv wh mr,H.n f ,onJ.l,n Prt interests, went Into the ter-jpeopie are quietly but consUntly toin portation are non-existent and methods of travel have changed tittle TZ 'JTH .'1 f 'he ,ncW",t Dd Uuht dutru,t c,i of vbicb there u U luble Und- Hfthe in thp nant twn rpntni-ie.

Certain It Is that whenever a camera has been' exposed by visitors they have been ordered away. For this reason, these pictures are unique, as few If . any others' have been, bro'h from the village.. Within more recent times a report was clrculsted that the tribe had taken drastic action against the members of the police who went into the reserve to Investigate certain charges. The reports grew in msgnltude until ln certain quarters It was said murder had been committed. The happening ln Itself was not thrilling In any way. but exemplifies the feeling which exists in the minds of these people against law and order. Reports emanated from he surrounding district that the natives of Kltwancool were obtaining "firewater." Owing to the attitude of the tribe and the usual silence of the members regarding matters affecting what they consider their rights, definite evidence was hard to obtain. Eventually, however, chafes of violating the liquor laws of the Province of British Columbia, as well as the sections of the Id- and funds, erected a creditable town hall, a dance ball, and a church. The roads and bridges which permit egress to the Skeena River they keep ln re pair themselves without governmental aid. In the completion of these work, they have maintained their usual attitude, permitting no help nor advice. PK-rt ItKMjl r; MTl'.tTlOX The village is picturesquely situated In the midst of mountains, which tower tn mighty majesty, while the logged off lands, which are cultivated, are fertile and highly productive. Some year, ago a representative of the Canadian National Railways lnvesUgated the area with the Idea of settling: Immigrants on the land. Tbe project -Jwwivtr. -wa. abandoned! largely.-it Is said.' owing to the hostile aspect of the tribe, The country round about the rsserve Is a wild and fascinating .one; valuable stands it timber are to be found in various Wettons: lt abounds In game of all kinds: while fur bearing animals are plentiful. In fact, trapping forma a part of the winter occupation of the natives and the returns from this make up a goodly psrt of their annual in come. In order to obtain the best skins they venture fsr afield from these reserve limits, which have been set by the government. The pronouncement setting definitely tbe boundaries of this reserve Is not accepted In very good part by the members of the tribe, who Claim a much larger area and. unofficially, what are almost sovereign rights over the Isnds on which they live and which are adjacent to them. While no overt acts hsve been committed as a consequence ot this ruling, there Is an Undercurrent of feeling amongst the tribe, according to those few outsider, who have come Into close touch with the Kltwancool.. that they have been A Hint to Housewives Men like the same foods day nftcr day. That makes It hard to vary the menu, yet, inconsistently enough, they complain because you do not serve "something different." What to do?

From the moment of their arrival until they had left the confines of the reserve the offjeers were subjected to a series of annoying Incidents, while female members of the tribe followed along the trail shouting Invective and haranguing the party In typical Indian style. From this Incident grew the story that there was more trouble at Kltwancool but the affair petered out and once more the proverbial quiet of the place returned.
