River. EARLY SNOWFALL Mr. and. Mrs. Priest' had intended returning over the trail by which they had come but it snowed while they were at the Fort so they decided, instead, to come out by the usual route over the lake 60 miles to Topley Landing by power boat and thence by road to Topley. While at the Landing, Mrs. Priest had the misfortune to become ill and there was a delay of two days before she was able to proceed to Topley. Thence they came into Prince Rupert by train. Since then Mrs. Priest has entered the hospital here for treatment. The country they travelled was dressed in the gorgeous changing colors of fall and it was a delighuul experience to have an outing of that kind in the real outdoors. They got some good photography, including some in color. "The Indians," reports Mr. Priest, "think the trail from Hazelton to Babine should be repaired and kept open in case of emergency, and this view Is also heid by other residents at the Fort. It would be particularly beneficial in winter when boat and plane travel to Fort Babine is out for a considerable period. The Forestry Service has done a certain amount of work on the Hazelton end of the trail in the last year or two, and it seems the natiws might help with the job particularly at the Babine section, since they would be the ones to benefl the most by having more direct communication with the outside."

Priest of this city. Mr. Priest is a linotype operator in the composing room of the Daily News. Heading north up the Suskwa River which flows into the Bulk-ley about five miles east of Hazelton, Mr. and Mrs. Priest found the going fairly good for 45 miles fording the swift-flowing Nation Creek occasioned one major obstacle until they reached (the divide and pass through the Netalzul Mountains whence the last ten miles down to the Babine Lake shore were "horrible.' The trail there is covered with deadfall upon deadfall and at points almost indistinguishable. As a matter of fact, they lost the trail a couple of times and had to backtrack. Camping in the open along the trail in the fine autumn weather, they reached the narrows between Nikilkitwa Lake and Babine Lake early on the Saturday morning after having left Harzelton late Tuesday morning. The narrows at this point at one time were spanned by a bridge but this has been washed out ior some years so they hailed a boat to take them across to the Fort on i-ne north side. In the boat were George Bryant, former local merchant, now located at New Westminster, and A. R. Brown, Burns Lake garage operator, who, with Judge W. O. Fulton of Prince Rupert, were" there on a fishing trip and having very good luck.
