who
was
then
under
temporary
suspension
as
a
pilot,
said
he
would
ask
for
an
Inquiry.
Joerss'
licence
was
temporarily
cancelled
on
the
grounds
that
he
had
carried
more
passengers
in
a
plane
than
were
permitted.
His
familiarity
with
the
north
country
led
to
his
selection
to
go
north
in
the
plane
which
he
formerly
piloted

for

When

almost
became
iced
In
on
Thutade
Lake,
north
of
Fort
St.
James,
it
was
decided
then
that
Joerss
should
attempt
to
take
the
machine
out
owing
to
his
experience
and
personal
acquaintance
with
flying
in
that
region.
Strictly
speaking,
he
was
then
flying
illegally.
The
forc
ed
landing
on
Saturday
night
in
the
Skeena
River
as
a
result
of
which
damage
was
done
to
his
plane
caused
his
decision
to
return
here
Instead
of
remaining
at
Prtnre
Rupert
to
aid
in
the
Renahai
search.
In
any
case,
notification
would
have
been
given
him
at
Prince

had
he
not
returned
here.
Joerss,
If
an
inquiry
Is

will
endeavor
to
show
that
he
had
not
Intended
to
act
as
a
pilot
on
the
Burke
search
and
only
extraordinary
curcumatances
made
It
actually
necessary
for
him
to
take
the
controls.
Joerss
Is
regarded
as
one
of
the
most
capable
and
careful
pilots
In
British
Columbia.
He
had
extensive
flying
experience
In
the
Oreat
War.
Joerss
obtained
much
of
his
flying
experience
with
the
German
Air
Force
In
which
he
served
during
the
Oreat
War.
He
was
classed
as
an
ace,
having

during

He
came
to
Canada
a

years

to

In

Following
the
conference,
a
ii-gure
of
70c
per

was
mentioned
as
the
possible
proposed
minimum
price.
Presumably
the
government
would
be
called
upon
to
meet

set
If
