When ''the constructlon is

is situated less than a mile from
the Celgar operation, the qyaters

small communities to be com-
pletely inundated.

cause no small disruption in the

these communities, Theirs. will

Deer. Park was a ‘favorite
spot for the Indians to hold deer
drives. “In the spring of the
year when the deer were low
down. the mountain, the Indians
would take a number of dogs to
the hills and: turn. them loose

¢| to chase the deer into the lake.

The squaws' would be waiting
in birch-bark canoes on the Jake
and with a Jong knife attached
to'a pole,, would slaughter the
deer. This is undoubtedly where

notes Mrs, Kate Johnson in Pio-
neer Days of Nakusp and. the
Arrow Lakes,

The Indians have left a me-
morial of themselves in the form
of red and green paintings on
a rock cliff.three miles south
of Deer Park. These pictographs
supposedly’ depict their travels
and adventures. Unless steps

are taken to somehow preserve
these mementos from the past,"
they shall be lost forever when
the waters of the Columbia ri-
ver reservoir cover them: over.

Deer Park enjoyed the be-
nefits of.a mining boom during
the 1890's with over 200 claims
being ‘staked in‘the area. But,
as happened with several other
towns in the Kootenays, mining
activity. soon slowed down as
the claims petered out, and Deer.
Park virtually became a ghost

town.
: By 1907 several families had |

and by 1912 a group of Menno-
alte settlers had arrived and

lished farms. After the First
World War, under the sponsor-
ship of the Soldier Settlement
Board, quite a number of re-
turned men and their families
made Deer Park their home. The

Across the lake from Deer
Park. is situated the fruit farm-
ing: settlement: of. Renata. Its
history dates back to the 1880's
when Sandy Gaston, a: prospect-
or from. Oregon, built’ a log
eabin and named this’area: Dog.

which is now about 150.

The idea of possibly acquir-
ing and restoring: any antique
or unusual pieces. of Sauipment
that would be left behind and
abandoned or scrapped at Ren-
ata and Deer. Park, came to
pulpmill engineer Dick Wigen
and ‘accountant Harold Webber,
early in the, summer while they
were engaged: in a little
“serounging’ and’ “horse-trad-
ing” (a favorite Pastime) at'Deer
