of

to

in

stop
over

since
Alexander
MacKenzle
went
through
back
in
1757
and
partake
of
some
of
the
well
known
Cariboo
hospitality.
There
were
so
many
good
things
to
tell
about
the
Carl-boo
that
he
feared
he
might
talk
too
long
and
weary
his
listeners
said
the
picturesque
legislator.
However,
the
Gyros
seemed
to
absorb
with
the
keenest
of
interest
what
he
had
to
say
about
the
constituency
of
which
he
is
so
proud
and
for
which
he
Is
such
a
keen
booster.
He
recalled
that
he
had
said,
when
the
Prince

Rupert
Highway
was
opened
a
couple,
of
years
ago,
that,
ln
comparison
with
their
own
fine
new
road,
people
from
here
might
not
think
much
of
the
-Cariboo
Highway.
It
wasn't
so
good
ln
spots
even
yet,
he
admitted,
but
that
would
not
be
for
much
longer
now,
he
hoped,
since
the
public
works
department
was
about
to
cm-bark
upon
a
program
of
streamlining
the
whole
road
through
Cariboo
into
Prince
George.
And,
talking
about
roads,
Mr.
Lebourdals
mentioned

In

"Yes,

and
a

of
other
things
which'
have
been
a
long
time
in

he
said,

have
changed

that

Talking
about
current
prosperity
and
developments
ln

Mr.

told
of

and
had
found

from

bidders.

might
not

fact
was
re
