I Now that all the unpleasant work has been done and! the former king has gone into voluntary exile, along comes the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church in England, and gives the ex-king another smackWithout knowing all the circumstances it, seems as if it were an unnecessary blow and one that will be resented by very many church people. The only possible excuse seems to have been that, owing to the policy of silence through the virtual suppression of the press, there had been little opportunity to discuss the former king's actions prior to his retirement from the throne and that the silence of the church in a case of this kind might have been misconstrued. Even this, however, does not seem to justify the objection to the king choosing his "own social circle0 especially when the kiner had already given up practically everything and the archbishon and his social. irrlf hurl Even without this incident the church had, come in for Mime uuiet criticism among people in England in connec tion with this affair and it seems a pity that this oppor tunity should have, been given the scoffers.

As a result Captain George Od- en, of New Westminster, a well known river. steamboat man. thor oughly investigated the possibili ties of negotiating the treacher ous Kitselas canyon on the Skeena River. Under his Instructions the first Hudson's Bav Comoanv stf. wheel river steamer was built in Now Westminster in 1890. This boat was about one hundred fppt. In length and'was called the Cal edonia.

At UllS time it Was nlv natural jihat other companies should see me advantages of the river trading, and the steamer Hazelton was one of the first boats to be built in Victoria (in 1900). It was built for George Cunningham nt Port Esslngton, and operated by , him on the Skeena River. . Later . it was solldt, to the Hudson's Bay company aDout 1903. The Hazelton then ran .with the Mount Royal and the two smaller boats were lad off, The Mount Royal was unfortunate in brldeine the can yon at Kitselas in Jniv mot it. turned over and drowned jjgji i we crew, mciuaing tne purser. I The old Caledonia was brought into service again for , the rest of that vair and then the laree new Port Simpson took .the place j of v j several times but it certainly held 'the interest of their passengers The captains on the various steamers were also always trvhiK to see who could make the fastest trip up the river to Hazelton and back. Captain Johnson made one trin In fifty-six hours with the Mount Royal, and then Captain Gardner made It in forty-sevenhouts with me nazeuon a little later the same season. Kitselas Difficult The Kitselas canyon "was the greatest difficultv alone the Skeena River, and after 'the loss the reason when the waters were par ticularly high, the Hudson's Bay Company would usually keeD one of their steamers above the canyon and the other below and portage all freight across from one vessel to ihe other. They usually kept the Hazelton on the upper part of the river as It was the smaller boat and was more easily handled. .The waters of the Skeena would Use very quickly and at Hazelton it was often known to rise seventeen feet at the wharf In one diy. Right In tha Kitselas canyon there was a rise of sixty ,feet in the high water season, so it can be readily understood the captains of these river boats had no easy tasks. In the early days the Hudson's Bay Company river boats made tnelr regular trips from Port Simpson up the Skeena whenever enough freight' and naissenaers warranted them doing so. However, as there-was a great deal of rouah! water between Port Esslngton and Fort Simpson, the boats' soon made their headquarters at Port Esslng ton and travelled reeularlv " """"j be- .'tWeen thM-ft nnH 1717oUnn rrQn. iu' niuiioer oi years and Si.ira- also made one trio a vear im th!ally about once a week't Their first ciii.i ni : . . .
