Loans would be at the rate of $24 for each acre of Rood arable land brought under cultivation jr. timbered areas in Northern Cana da, repayable in 10 years with a five percent yearly Interest rate. Judge McKay would have such a colonization plan continued over a period of years. "This policy would secure each year the location of a farming community of about 100,000 and a nearby urban community of about 60,000 all tributary to the Cana- dian National Trans-continental rauroaay ne saia. Settlements would-be located between Quebec.

It Is one In the darkness before Hydaburg of the epics of the early year storm could be reached. which swept the northern British Columbia Coast for about three weeks, almost continuously, and was responsible for at least one tragedy and other narrow escapes. The perlence of the Smith brothers commenced on Friday, the thirteenth, and culminated in the complete wreck of their small gasboat the Mabel. However, they might have been more unfortunate, the brothers admit, In expressing gratl-fication that, due to the splendid efforts of their friends, their lives were saved.

Followed three days and three nights of tossing into the open Pacific pumping became necessary owing to the fact that the seas were con stantly breaking over the tiny craft. Finally, on the third night, when :he Mabel was off Cape Muzon, Alaska, the wind went into the southwest and the Mabel drifted Into Jordova Bay. before a gale of hur ricane force. After weaving her way, amid treacherous reefs and a tortuous channel of the area, she finally crashed on to the southern most tip of the dread Barrier Islands. In the pitchy darkness of the Monday following Friday the Thirteenth, the Mabel became a total wreck within a matter of moments, leaving her crew virtually marooned without fire, food or shelter after they had already been continuously drenched for three days and three nights with no sleep whatsoever. They were completely exhausted and In a generally precarious condition. Constable A J.

Eventually, they decided to examine the Cordova Bay area where they felt there was a reasonable chance of finding either the shipwrecked men or wreckage of their boat. The two boats spread out, one to search one area and the other another. At 3 o'clock on the Tuesday afternoon, I David Parnell. look-out on the Ed - enshaw, observed a signal. Approaching, they had the thrill of seeing the Smith brothers whom they at once took aboard ln an exhausted condition. Meantime, the Waterfall had discovered drifting wreckage. She was signalled and, together, the two boats proceeded to Hydaburg where the two shipwrecked men were given proper attention and messages broadcast to discontinue further search and allay anxiety. Throughout all this time the weather had been extremely rough and It was no easy task the rescue boats had had ln crossing Dixon's , Entrance and Chatham Sound, navigating their way among the dan- jgerous reefs and submerged ledges of Cordova Bay.
