GUERILLAS
IN
NORTH
Prospectors,
Trappers,
Loggers
and
Others
Should
Fit
Into
Scheme.
Prospectors,
trappers,
loggers
and
other
rugged
bushmen
of
the
far-flung
and
sparsely
settled
area
of
central
and
northern
British
Columbia
of
Prince
Rupert
is
the
centre
have
been
interesting
themselves
in
a
more
or
less
active
but
unofficial
way
in
military
training
for
months.
Hy
them
the-announcement
yes--
-terday
by
Col.
J.
L.
Ralston,
minister
of
national
defence,
of
the
plan
to
organize
guerilla
units
in
British
Columbia
for
bush
fighting
will,
doubtless,
be
received
with
much
interest.
Stewart,
one
of
the
principal
mining
areas
in
the
district,
is
an
instance.
Here
a
home
guard
has
been
drilling
for
a
couple
of
years.
It
should
be
able
to
provide
adequate
material
to
be
incorporated
in
such
a
local
guerilla
fighting
force.,
Smithers,
important
railway
centre
226
miles
inland
from
Prince
Rupert,
is
another
point
where
interest
has
been
taken
and
organization
already
smarted
along
these
lines.
In
Prinfre
Rupert
city
proper
there
will
probably
be
no
guer
illa
force
as
this
is
a
reserve
army
point.
There
are,
however,
many
other
small
communities
at
more
or
less
isolated
points
that
should
fit
naturally
into
the
guerilla
movement,
particularly
since
the
men
thereabouts
are
well
accustomed
to
roughing
it
in
the
bush,
are
experienced
and
ingenious
woodsmen,
well
used
to
handling
firearms
and
keen
for
action.
