Is
at

embarrassed
by
an
overpopulation
of
rats,
haa
offered
suggestions
inspired
by
what
he
claims
to
be
an
episode
In
the
early
history
of
Prince
Rupert
to
get
rid
of
th
rodpnts.

Henley
once
lived
in
Prince
Rupert,
ror
according
to
the
Chilliwack
Progress,
he
confided
the
following
to
his
fellow
council
members
at
a
recent
meeting:
"I
remember
how
we
were
Just
about
driven
out
of
Prince
Rupert
by
rats
in
1912.
We
used
to
have
rat
Rilling
davs.
All
the
stores
would
close
and
everyone
would
take
out
poison
soaked
In
loaves
of
bread.
Used
to
put
It
in
stumps,
under
old
wooden
roadways,
everywhere.
Boy,
did
we
kill
rats!"
According
jto
local
pioneers,
AiHrrman
Henley's
sense
of
veracity
must
have
perished
at
the
same
time.
Never,
old-
timers
say,
did
the
citizens
of
Prince
Rupert
rind
It
necessary
to
turn
away
from
their
business
pursuits
en
mass
to
slaughter
rats.
Never
did
the
stores
close
for
that
purpose
They
admit
that
Prince
Ru
pert
did
have
a
rare
rat
population.
Any
locality
which
Is
so
attractive
to
human
beings
will
also
attract
rats.
Besides,
in
the
early
days
ships
bringing
cargoes
of
steel
rails
for
the
railway
brought
rats
from
the
ports
of
the
world.
To
cope
with
these
a
hired
ratcatcher
named
Reld
was
kept
tolerably
busy.
He
was
assisted
by
some
-
volunteer
helpers
but
no
one
admitted
the
need
for
a
mass
blitzkrieg
against
.the
beasts.
"...
and
that
statement
about
putting
poison
under
old
wooden
roadways!"
a
citizen
complained.
"Why
there
weren't
any
old
wooden
roadways
In
Prince

In

They
were
