Strawberry Flan oe 9450 8-18 Have iron, will By Peter Lowrey The young and strong pushed their way into the southern In- terior’s Similkameen Vailey more than one hundred years ago; their breed is still there today in per- sons like Freddy Lawless, the travelling farrier of the valley. Freddy is well known around the valley communities of Keremeos, Cawston and even up to Okanagan Falls. He cuts a colorful figure, his mood alter- nating between stermness and jo- viality as he wrestles a horse into position to nail on anew shoe. His tippling biceps and shoulder mus- cles show he is not new to the task. Work done at onc of the Simil- kameen’s many ranches or farms, Freddy will load his 20-kilo anvil and shoeing stand into his Ford pickup and head back to the quiet of his riverside cabin. “There is plenty of demand for the only farrier in the valley’’, he says, grinning. (The term farrier applies to ie maker and fitter of works er, the name means Salmon River. The river, however, is devoid of the fish. Present-day Keremeos was once the site of a Hudson Bay Company ranch where oxen, horses and cows were pastured. Nearby Cawston was settled in the 1860’s by Frank Richter, a cattleman whose herds swarmed over the Dewdney Trail headed west for the coast market.

Young men and their horses have figured in the history of the Similkameen as far back as 1824 when Tom McKay, in charge of the Hudson Bay Company’s Norther Fur Brigade, blazed his way along the river. His starting point was Fort Okanagan, 96 kilometres south of the present U.S.-Canadian border, and McKay made it through to his destination: Fort Kamloops. The trail bore a king's ransom in furs until 1848 when the 49th parallel was established as the international boundary. The Similkameen Valley remained in British hands, at least on the map, but it was not until the 1860's that settlers made it a true possession. The first year of that decade saw Edgar Dewdney, a young civil engineer, get the commis- sion that was to shortly open up the valley to growers, cattlemen and pioneer families. Dewdney headed a Royal Engineer unit which constructed a trail from Hope to Princeton. By 1865 others had pushed it through to the Similkameen and wagons full of fruit trees, plows and household goods were on their way. As the settlers laid out their plots beside the winding, spar- kling river they were to discover that the name Similkameen had a touch of irony to it. According to A. C.
