BANK BANDIT ROUTED BY WOMEN'S SCREAM VANCOUVER. ffThe screams of a SO-year-old wonian teller, Mrs. Barbara Wood, foiled a bank holdup here Monday.

As might be expected, there is a price for this peaceful existence.. Fresh food and milk modity that mountain-sheep j used to sleep on It. j But let's start at the beginning. Our first stop was at Telegraph Creek, a settlement of about 175 on a narrow gorge of the Stikine where the water rushes through on its way to the Pacific at Wrangell, in Alaska. To get there we flew over spectacular terrain so rich in color that it looks artificial. Telegraph Creek is' on the doorstep of the north. Although a quiet little community subsisting mainly on Its trapping industry, it conveys the first clue of the tremendous things happening up yonder. There you hear about Tulsequah, Atlin and Casslar and meet the occasional prospector who once sought for gold and Is now thinking of trying vhis luck' at these newfangled minerals like tungsten and uranium. Even at Telegraph Creek Itself visiting miners have arrived from Ottawa 30 years ago tc get married and loves the north as her home. The Simpsons have brought up two girls at Telegraph Creek, have turned their house into a comfortable place where the traveller can rest, and enjoy a contented life that anyone might envy. In the younger generation ped off by valuable fried eggs. Constable Allen Dick, of the RCMP, Is In charge of the law there and finds the community a well-behaved one. Break-Ins and robbery are virtually unknown. Those guilty of misdemeanors sometimes spend a few nights in the tidy jail, composed of a two-room suite, adjoining the Dicks' residence. Pushing on north, we "stopped next at Tulsequah at the head of Taku Inlet which opens to the sea at Juneau. Here the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company is starting what may he a new etty of the north. Already' there are 400 employees In domicile with their many pleasant evening hours. John Stewart, an office clerl whom Mr. Moore swore In as deputy returning officer, showed us bright, spacious quarter! in the administration buildinf which would delight the heart of any desk employee. Outside a ball game was in noisy prog-ree on the playing square whlcr is a dominant feature of thi! blossoming community. We were looking at a new world which only our pilot, Norm Jermyn, had seen before. No matter how accustomed we were to reports of the booming north, It was exciting, and we boarded the plane for our next stop at Atlin with much more anticipation than a trip to dispose of ballot .boxes would normally Indicate. J-4 at work extracting lead, silver and zinc which then, in the form of concentrates, start the long journey by truck, barge and rail to the smelter at Trail. Although It was a warm summer day when we arrived, we were assured this was truly the north. In winter the snow piles up to 25 feet, and the temperature descends to some awesome degree below zero. But the residents of this new community are not . deterred. Harold Abbott, company accountant, and his wife moved there from Kimberley where he was a storekeeper at one time. They are enthusiastic about their fresh and different life and described how square dancing, moving pictures and impromptu entertainment till in - are not sufficient fas an expert on that wountry, but they are are rare, if not entirely absent. Eggs are 95 cents a dozen and coffee is $1.20 a pound.

But there are other Items of nourishment which outsiders do not often see. For breakfast at the Simpsons' we had large slabs of mooseiueat steak top Ismail business section. Tcle- graph Creek, one of the few : places In the north with a road that goes anywhere, has access to Dease Lake, 80 miles away, and to Glenora, 14 miles dis- taut. Along this highway, Mr. fclaiiuuiK among these are the Spectrum Mountains of many fiery hues which the uninitiated would say were literally spitting minerals down their flanks. Actually, however, the colors nre said to be causM by vol the river, and there Is a whisper that uranium is In the neighborhood. To most of the old-time residents, however, Telegraph Creek Is the uneventful p!nc,e it has families, and the spic-and-span new buildings are hints of a much bigger place ' to come, from the vnst. resources of the
