Evitt's Farewell RUPERT MUST HELP ITSELF Pioneer Days Here Recalled in Rotary Talk Prince Rupert has arrived at the stage where It can expect real development In the future but this will come only through the efforts of its citizens and not from government or other outside help, Lieut. Col. C. V. Evltt, Prince Rupert pioneer, told In EGYPTIAN PHYSICIANS The ancient Egyptians are said to have performed amputations and various operations on the vve. Local Temperature Maximum 57 Minimum 51 Thursday afternoon- Col. Evltt. who is leavlne Sat urday afternoon to live at De parture Bay, near Nanalmo. ex pressed great hope for the future i of this city at the conclusion of a LMK ui tvmcn ne recanea im pressions of the early days here. "Prince Rupert is a young man's town, Just as it was when I came here in 1909," he declared, adding smilingly, "that is why I am moving out now to make room for a young man." Delving Into the background of the city, Col. Evltt told his listeners that the wonderful harbor of Prince Rupert was originally called Lima Bay and that the name has been perpetuated in Lima Point on Dlgby Island. "It is one of the best harbors in the world," he asserted. Prince Rupert received Its name as the result of a naming competition conducted by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in 1909. The competition was featured In newspapers across the country and 12,000 names were entered. The winner was a Miss Isabel McDonald of Winnipeg who received a $250 prize. The first working party of G. T.P. engineers arrived In May. 1906, and found the townslte a depressing mass of burned stumps and trees. Col. Evltt came to the city In April 1909. "When I left Vancouver spring was well advanced. I arrived here in a snowstorm," he recalled. Before the townslte was thrown open to the public, John Houston, a Nelson newspaperman arrived, bringing a print ing press with him. When the railway company learned that he had a press, they, refused to let him take It from the depot, and there followed a controversy which ended with the doughty Houston and a group of companions seizing the press "In the name of the King." They established the press in the police station and there the first issues were published. rrlnce Rupert boomed until 1914, when many men left for the war, Col. Evltt recalled. In that year the city had a popula tion of 6,000.
