Obligations Come with Those Tax Bucks Editor, Castlegar News: In the continuing debate on the pros and cons ofa maximum security prison for this area, I would like to add my opinion and ask some questions. The average citizen bases his opinions on the information received through the media. The only information we have Carl's have tho ,fin received in the last year. in particular has dealt with the riots in prisons, damages in the millons of. dollars, prison ' breaks, and hostage-taking situations resulting in the loss of life. Hardly a situation that is under control! With this in mind, we are asked not to fear the location of ca prison in this area and to consider the many benefits that will be derived from its pres- ence. First, we are told security will be increased for the area as a whole. This is interesting, considering that one of the grievances that prison guards have is the lack of staff and guards being worked overtime in dust three days‘left, "so" hustle’ down to Cai sand” select’ that last"” minute gift.

Wadding- ton, snow, water and the melting glaciers cut a chasm -crossed, wacko cinta path to the sea, The Indians called the. river Kteena Kleena. At its outlet the Kwakiutal Indians harvest millions of candle fish migrating to their spawning grounds, Early hand loggers knew the saltwater passage to the sea as Coola Inlet. Today, the natives still travel to the Tsauwati village at the head of the sunken valley marked .on the charts as Knights Inlet. There they still catch tho fat oollchans-smoking many, and rendering’ fro countless others their tradi- tional oolichan oll. Dutchman's Head marks the end of motor vessel naviga- tion. If you moor your boat to an old logging float anchored off the mud flats, and take your rowboat ashore, you would find ‘a well-defined path. A scant quarter mile up the trail a clearing opens. High fences surround a small kitchen garden, and flowers bloom in season around a magnificent log cabin. The seaward wall of the great living room isa frame for a huge squared rock fireplace. During the rainy days of spring and fall and the frostwhite cold of winter, it radiates a glowing friendly warmth, as do its owners. During summer, small birds fly and saucy squirrels climb down the chimney and frisk on the mantleplece and hearthstones. Tn olden days an immense grizzly bear rug graced almost ‘an acre of floor in front of the hearthstones. Lesser ones of later date still grace the homespun atmos- phere. New guests still raye at their size. Only‘ ‘dldtimers re- -member the fibgnificence and the story of the missing bear- skin rug. Stanton, laird of the man- sion, wilderness. wanderer, hand logger and noted host, is famed for his hunting ability. He specializes as a guide to the huge grizzles of the Kleena Kleena watershed. The path “beaten to his door in the wilderness”. is a watery one—only by boat can one traverse the wild beauty of Knights Inlet. Stanton’s open-handed hospitality and helping hand was ever extended alike to the native in his dugout, the logger in his rowboat and the wealthy in their yachts, - One, summer, when the nititing snows still sprayed their countless waterfalls from crags thousands of feet high into the sea, a large white yacht cruised through the abundance of scenery that is Knight's heritage and anchored off Dutchman's Head. The owner and his wife rowed ashore to be welcomed at the beach by Stanton, who escorted them to his home, where his lifelong helpmate and partner served tea and,fresh biscuits. While the wife listened to the problems of keeping deer and bears out of the kitchen garden, the husband feasted his eyes on the huge bearskin rug. The: white fangs raised in a ‘snarl, the long silvertipped hair and the size of .the rug fascinated the yachtsman. He resolved to have it at any cost. Diffidently he brought, up the subject. “The bearskin rug, was it for ere ae a price on iw For OFFICE “ FURNITURE “No.” “Any price!" “No,” “There mual be a way,” he thought, “there must.” He would not go home without it. “Would the Stantons re- turn to the yacht with him and stay for supper?” They would. Once aboard, they were introduced to the other guests, wined and given a sumptuous supper. After supper, during a lull in conversation, Mrs. Stan- ton wandéred over to the owners’ pride—a piano—to ad- mire it. fidently sat down and played a couple of tunes. Stanton had not known that his wife could play. Pianos were scarce in hunting and handlogging country. Pride in his wife's newfound skill shone in his eyes. The yacht owner quickly seized his opportunity. If Stan- ton would part with his rug, he would trade for the piano, “Agreed,” ‘said Stanton. “But you must deliver the piano and call for the bearskin.” They sealed the bargain in the traditional manner. Crew and guests: joined in the ar- duous task of transporting the plano; first to the beach and finally to the home. In the large living area, it seemed smaller and insigni- ficant. The © boat’ owner hastened away with his prize. The ship | sailed, its star- Upon invitation, she dif. . spangled flag flaunting a fare- well as guests waved goodby. Glacier Bay and Glendale Cove called. Stanton smiled and was content, He could get another bear anytime..No aweat; and his wife now had a plano, The spirit that moved Mrs, Stanton to play returned no more, The piano gathered dust. Wood mice scouted it fora nest." A squirrel left tracks on the mahogany, A seiner with a native crew anchored one day, almost in the same spot once occupied by the white yacht. Captain and mate rowed ashore. They followed the path and were entertained at the cabin. ‘The chief was facinated by the piano. He wandered over and thumped a note or two. | By the Great Changer—if he had it home, what prestige it would bring! “Would Stanton sell the would he trago for it?"* | + Well, what for isons Well, the chief had a fabulous number of crows’ feet gathered to collect the govern- ‘ment, bounty. He had plenty, but fishing was good and he‘did not want to take time to go to Vancouver to collect. He of- fered the whole lot for the plano. fi Stanton made a few quiek calculations, then directed a look towards -his wife. She nodded; a trip to Vancouver would be welcome, “Agreed,” said Stanton, “But you will have to deliver the crows' fect and move the plano yourself.” The Indian. was elated, Already he ‘could feel the prestige -it would bring. His reputation for bargaining would not suffer. Hal The crew were called to help move the piano; the sacks and boxes of crows’ feet slowed in the“outshed, The piano was safely moved to the shore where it was loaded into the seine skiff, In towing it to the seiner, it overturned in the glacial waters of Knights Inlet! On the shore, Stanton waved _a derisive farewell. Shortly afterward, he and his wife travelled to Minstrel Is- land and purchased tickets on the steamer to Vancouver. Sending his wife on ahead to a good hotel, Stanton en- tered another and directed the driver. to the Game Branch to collect his bounty. Riches and a celebration were just around the corner. Arriving at the office, he had the driver help him in with the packages. He was jubilant. “Take them away and dis- pose of them," said the game department offical. “The bounty was cancelled a month ago.” So ends the story of the plano, the bearskin rug and the Indian with crows’ feet.
