of
J.
W.

of
whom
90
per

are
actively
engaged
ln

ln

At

the
association
is
devoting
Its
attention
to
the
re-establlshment
of

areas

points
Into

No
Aid
Mr.
Wick
emphasized
the
fact
'
that
the
association
had
no
Inten
tion
of
asking
financial
assistance
from
any
government.
"On
the
contrary,"
stated
Mr.
Wick,
"our
Intention
Is
to
ask
the
British
Columbia
government
to
sell
us
land
ln
addition
to
the
prescribed
acreage
which
can
be
homesteaded."
Part
of
the
proposal
which
will
be
presented
to
the
government
reads
as
follows:
This
taU
a
group
of
farmers
who
are
able
to
leave
their
families
on
their
present
farms
have
volunteered
to
go
ln
to
the
block
under
supervision
and
prepare
the
way
for
spring
migration.
They
will
contribute
their
labor
and
guaran
tee
their
own
entire
support
during
the
period
of
preparation.
ThU
plan
of
settlement
wUl
pro
ceed
over
a
period
ot
three
to
tour
years.
Settlement
will
be
Increased
as
the
area
becomes
established
and
will
Include
about
300
families
when
completed.
A
steam
engine,
trucks
and
port
able
sawmill
will
be
sent
in
with
other
building
equipment
A
tem
porary
headquarters
of
organization
and
distribution
will
be
established.
The
settlers
coming
ln
will
use
the
headquarters
for
temporary
residence
for
families
who
will
remain
under
a
community
main
tenance
plan
until
houses
are
ready
to
be
occupied.
To
Build
Roads
The
organization
will
undertake
to
build
the
necessary
roads
under
whatever
direction
the
government
may
require.
They
desire
only
that
the
main
road
to
Hlnes

be
constructed
at
as

a

as

to
