Although Mr. Henning orily guaranteed the village a,well producing 400 gallons of water a minute, he said he is confident that the new well will produce 1,000. gallons‘a ‘minute.

APERSONAL COLUMN Ona Trip by By BURT CAMPBELL - 1 i'm stiff and sore. Have been for days. Reason: Took a 50-mile trip Jast weekend by horseback. Gordon Anderson of the Cas- tle Bar Ranch had talked for. weeks of a trip to Sheep Lake. He painted glowing pictures of fighting trout, sandy beaches, star-it nights, mouth-watering coffee made over a campfire and, most important of all, the enjoy- ment of nature's wonderland from the back of a horse. Five other persons and my- self decided it sounded pretty good, so bright and carly last Friday morning (at 8.15) the six of us set out on horseback for Sheep Lake. Six hours Ia- ter we got there. But those six hours were really something. We followed the new Kinnaird-Cascade high- way all the way to’ the-lake. A scenic drive that will: be-the talk of B.C. once the road’s complet- ed. The first seven ' miles’ are now. pulvi-mixed, but from tne ending of the blacktop to Sheep Lake the new highway is a.dusty _ road in the throes of construction. Blueberry Creek runs along “the side of.the yew.road for miles and tall serub timber stands on every stde. Not much of the timber is over four inches in dia- meter and it grows so close. to- gether that the majority of it stands at least 40-fect high. The old Sheep Lake road can tbe seen from the new highway and it makes you wonder haw jeeps, let ‘alone cars, ever got over it to the lake and back again in one piece. 4 ‘We saw several deer as we rode and half-a-mile past P. F. Tons of earth and: rock had tu be hauled and dumped to even out the gullies. Some of the fill is blue-grey in-color, almost the shade of dry cement. 3 , Another indication of the size of the project Is given a few miles out .of Sheep, Lake. At that spot men are putting in a culvert, if you can call it that, that is so large it dwarfs the men working on it. When we arrived at Sheep Law’s first construction camp Lake its comparatively small size @ large brown bear that was! amazed me. Looking at it from ‘almost black in color ran'across Law's second construction camp the road into-the bush on the'at the west end of the lake, it other side. i From there on we ran into, air-drills, bulldozers, shovels and, Euclids carving a highway out of the wilderness. In one spot the horses had to snake along a one-yard wide path set on either side with dy- namite charges. P. F. Law's ex- plosives men weren't holding their breath any more than we were while the seven sure-footert horses walked right .down the middle of the mined road. > Anyone who questions why that road counjsn’t have been completed years ago should take a‘trip up.it to see It under con- doesn't look to be much bigger than about 1%-times the size of the Celgar sawmill flats when they were flooded in 48. # We followed the road past the construction camp and camp- ed further along the lake where | there was ample grazing for the horses. = s We immediately unsaddicd our horses, unloaded the pack horse, set up camp and went in swimming. Sheep Lake, we soon Jearned, isn’t the Columbia river. The water must have been at least 70 degrees. The bottom of the lake isn’t. mich, though — silty mud, - . struction. Some fills for the road are, at least 75-feet deep and four or five times that distance in Iength. The fish were biting and al- ter we finished swimming we caught a batch of them for sup- per. Fried in butter the fish Horseback to Sheep Lake broke away from the bones with- out effort as we feasted on them in utter glory. f That night we rolled out the sleeping bags and bedded down. Shouts of joy echoed across.the Iake as we realized that there weren’t any mosquitoes. There had been a few in the afier- noon, but as soon as darkness descended the mosquitoes dis- appeared. PR I was almost: sorry there weren't any. I had purehased two square yards of mosquitoe net- ting at West's and my. Scotch heart ached to get my 36 cents worth out of the purchase. The night was uneventful except -for the horses chomping grass beside our heads and the inevitable waiting for a horse to step on someone as we slept. Music to send you to dream- land was provided by Law's dril- ling. machinery that,worked on into the night and realization of the fact that Sheep Lake is about one mile above sea level came to everyone at about 4 in the mor- ning when temperatures sunk lower and lower, The next morning we. fished until noon, had something to eqt and were packed and saddled by 130, Exactly 4% hours after that we were home. It was quite a trip. I'm looking forward to do- ing it again — by car. Scout F is making this visit under the Aloha Scout Exchange. He arriveil in Vancou- ver on July 27 and_ is visiting various points in B.C.. and Alber- ta. At the same time, two Cana. dian Scouts, Wiliam , Brain -of Vancouver and Barrie Lewis of Lethbridge, ‘Alberta are’ visiting the Hawaiian Islands.
