the
heavy
clouds
for
al-j
most
our
whole
'
twj
weeks
here
is
out
again
as
we
say
goodbye.
The
dense
summer
crowds
are
gone
from
the
two
pools
now.
and
the
place
Is
beginning
to
look
relaxed
again
as
it
looked
before
the
people
in
their
masse-
"discovered"
this
wonderful
spot.
Every
time
I
come
nere
I
half
kick
myself.
For
in
a
way
I
feel
that
Radium
Is
"my
baby."
I
helped
put
it
"on
the
map
in
the
minds
cf
the
people
who
read
newspapers.
Now
the
place
is
so
crowded,
in
summertime,
that
I
have
trouble
getting
a
wall
seat
to
sit
on
in
my
favorite
spot
in
the
hot
pool.
However,
if
I
did
help
spoil
my
own
fun
I
did
my
small
bit
to
let
the
people
know
that
here
in
the
Rockies
of
B.C.
we
have
one
of
the
finest
natural
assets
in
the
whole
world.
ALSO,
because
of
the
fact
that
you
and
I
still
own
this
pool,
through
our
federal
government,
we
can
still
get
into
it
for
two-bits.
If
these
pools
were
privately
owned,
as
they
would
be
in
Europe
or
even
the
USA.,
the
common
people
would
be
lucky
if
they
got
within
a
mile
of
the
premises.
The
operators
of
the
pool
would
be
charging
fat
millionaires
about
10
dollars
a
dip
to
get
into
the
healing
wsters.
This
summer
on
a
single
Sunday
over
twenty-five
hun
dred
persons
paid
a
quarter
of

apiece

j
Already

a

is
too

for
the
people
who
are
flocking
here.
But

that

SOME
of
the
same
American
tourists
have
come
back
from
Lake
Louise
a
bit
sore
at
the
swank
hotel
there
for
the
place
is
now
completely
fenced
in
and
both
motorists
and
sidewalk
pedestrians
have
to
pass
separate
eatemen

only
then
if

We

and
we
have

evenly
on

were

to

of

says

t
should
take.
Perhaps
the
clearest
example
of
this
was
provided
by
the
divided
opinion
that
arose
over
the
question
of
opening
up
the
country
north
of
th:;
CNR
line.
The
two
extremes
of
the
argument
were
presented
by
Prince
George,
which
favored
a
northward
extension
of
the
PGE
railway,
and
Prince
Rupert,
which
believed
the
resolution
should
be
less
specific
so
that
other
possible
routes,
such
as
that
from
Hazelton,
might
also
receive
consideration:
While
it
could
be
claimed
that
the
two
arguments
were
the
natural
results
of
partisan
interests,
that
does
not
accurately
explain
the
matter.
The
fact
was
that
the
overriding
mood
of
the
convention
was
that
this
part
of
the
province
must
remain
intact
in
its
ideas
if
the
individual
sections
of
it
are
to
obtain
their
hoped-for
benefits.
After
Prince
George
won
its
point
on
a
close
vote,
the
meeting
proceeded
cheerfully
and
harmoniously
to
the
next
item
of
business.
The
importance
of
air
service
to
this
country
was
emphasized
by
the
presence
of
Grant
Mc-Conachie,
Canadian
Pacific
Air
Lines
president.
Mr.
McConachie
gave
the
convention
something
to
think
about
by
observing
that
air
transportation
has'become
the
forerunner
of
development
and
that
in
many
cases
it
is
cheaper
to
build
an
airport
than
to
repair
a
section
of
highway.
He
left
delegated
with
the
realization
that
before
they
became
too
preoccupied
with
rail
and
road
construction,
they
would
do
well
to
consider
what
traffic
by
air
could
meifii
to
them.
When
the
convention
finally
adjourned
it
had
placed
on
record
a
number
of
resolutions
concerning
transportation
which,
if
put
into
effect,
will
vitalize
the
economy
of
northern
and
central
B.C.
Although
it
would
be
too
optimistic
to
expect
that
all
will
receive
action,
the

"That's

end
of
you,
Mountie,"
he
said
with
a
sneer.
"You'll
never
rise
from
that
bunk
to
trouble
me
again."
The
words
were
scarcely
out
of
his
mouth
when
lie
was
seized
in
an
iron
grip
and
handcuffs
snapped
on
his
wrists.
,
The
Mad
Trapper
swivelled
around.
"You!"
he
gasped.
"Oompah
of
the
Mounted!
I
just
shot
you
as
you
lay
in
your
bunk."
"That's
where
you
made
your
mistake,
Ben.
All
you
did
was
to
shoot
a
hole
in
my
bassoon.
I
tucked
it
under
the
blankets
to
resemble
my
slep-ing
figure.
Why
did
you
come
here
to
kill
me,
Ben?"
"It
was
that
blasted
bassoon,
Mountie.
You
played
it
night
and
day.
My
cabin
Is
two
miles
distant
from
yours,
but
the
noise
drove
me
mad."
Hatred
of
music
is
no
excuse
for
attempted
murder,
Ben.
I'm
taking
you
to
civilization
to
answer
for
your
crime."
As
the
two
men
trudged
hito
the
midnight
sun,
the
policeman
played
a
march
on
his
tjassoon.
Eight
hundred
miles

lay
between
them
and

never

them

The

didn't

either.

News
that
the
Royal
Canadian
Air
Force
had
several
kilted
pipe
bands
came
as
a
nasty
-surprise.
On
top
of
that,
the
Royal
Canadian-Mounted
Police
began
advertising
for
bandsmen--
Vca.icies

who

An

A

Just
'don't

that's'
all.
Th

will

We
are
used
to
Mounties
riding

and
aircraft
instead
of
horses.
They
are
still
a
fine
body
of
men.
But
the
idea
of,
Mounties
playing
musical
Instruments
strikes
a
blow
at

illusions.

a
