Dear Sir:

Tam writing in regards to
vandalism at the abandoned
Cascade Creek railway’ bridge
located at the east entrance of
Roger's Pass.

‘This stone arch bridge is
typical of the style still to be
seen on Alpine railways, and
was built by European masons
in the year 1898, replacing a
‘wooden bridge constructed in
1885.

From 1898 until 1916,
(when the railway over the pass

esque bridge carried the traffic

Pacific Railway.

On Scpt. 20 of this year I
was in the pass and visiled the
little Alpine stone arch bridge,

I discussed this senseless
behavior carried out no doubt
by some party wilh o warped
mind, with J. L, Turnbull, area
resource manager, located at
Roger's Pass. He indicated that
vandalism in the area is of a
major concern, For the most
part he and his men have it
under control. My hope is that
the penalty will be excep-
tionally severe for thoso who

Highways Department Looks
At Gravel in Slocan Valley —

Nelson district highways
manager George Kent mot re-
cently with membors of the
Haison committee on resource
use in the Slocan Valley to dis-
cuss highways department
needs and plans for gravel pits
in the valloy,

Tho Nelson highways dis-
trict: encompasses aboul one-
half of the Slocan Valley from
its southerri junction with high-
way 3 north of Enterprise
Creek,

Mr. Kent told the meeting
that gravel was one of the
major necds of his department,
for both road construction and
maintenance. Currently the de-
partment is hauling gravel for
long distances in some areas, a
costly practice, and consequent-
ly is. seeking ‘new deposits
which could be opened as
gravel pils.

Concern was expressed by
residents near: Pedro Creek
over the possibility that gravel
near the creck may be a
potential department of high-
ways pil.

A landslide occurred in the
area in the late 1960s when a
logging road was: pushed in
near the creek. Residents‘fear-
ed that the. same © unstable
situation would arise should
gravel be taken out of the hill-
side.

Mr. Kent confirmed that
the department has taken sam-
ples from Pedro Creek and is
testing them: for gravel: use.
Tests also are under way on
gravel taken from siles near
Lemon Creek, Little Slocan and
Winlaw. Mr, Kent said no plans
have been confirmed to extract
gravel from any of these sites
as yet, x 2

He stressed that gravel, is
not a renewable resource un-
less it js found in a river or
creek bed, somé of which bring
down huge quantities each
year. On this point, it was sug-
gested that Lemon Creek might
hold potential,” and “Mr. Kent
said he would be willing to
check it out.

Asked. how valley _resi-
dents could become involved in
planning for gravel pit location,
Mr. Kent said the department
would welcome any information

with the paving of the highway
in the southern half of the

From. memory and the
notes the following has been
extracted,

Alex Rowan was born in
Streeter, Ill. in July of 1878, (I
hope). The date on the notes
said 1888 but later dates do not
work out. ¥

His parents tock him
to Scotland and in “1904 im-
migrated to Vancouver Island.

Rowan went to school in
Victoria and Ladysmith, later
moving to Nanaimo where he
married May (Isobel) Baneren.
His wife was an athlete that ran
up a unbeatable racing record
for 40. years, retiring at 50
years of age. :

‘They had a son, Sandy
Alexander, and a daughter,
Dana.

Rowan's contempories said
he was a top competitor at all
sports running, rugby. football
sculling, boxing, ete. They said
he was three times medium
weight boxer champion in
Canada. In 1909 he ran in three
marathons in one week, at
Seattle and Tacoma, Wash.
and at Butte, Mont. Obliging a
friend by taking his shift in the
mine he was riding the ropes

controlling will continue to re-
main more or less invisible,

The board recently re-
celved permission to release
the names of companies that
have been ordered to dispose of
excess profits, But it still isn’t
releasing the all-important de-
tails—the size of the excess and
how the company involved
plans to return the money to
the public.

Mr. Chapman says the
board members, including its
chairman Jean Luc Pepin, are
agreed that these details must
be released if Canadians are
ever going to be convinced that
the board is really doing its job
‘as far as profit and the re-
sulling price controlling is con-
cerned.

This is why board mem-
bers want to learn what the
board's legal position would be
if it released these details.

Mr. Chapman says the
business community is general-
ly opposed to the board re-
leasing the financial details, and
he can’t see why.

“There's nothing wrong
with a company having more
sales than it anticipated and
winding up with excess profits.
Its the sort of thing that could
happen to any business.”

Many companies, he points
out, could actually turn it to
their advantage.

Examples of this were the -

cases involving General Foods
and General Motors.

General Foods found it was
selling more Minute Rice,
Jell-O instant puddings, Dream
Whip and Cool Top than it pre-
dicted. Increased sales resulted

in its making too much money *

and'so it was ordered to roll
back the prices of these items.

By disclosing all this pub-
lily, General Foods had free
coast-to-coast publicity on what
amounted to a nation-wide sale
on these items.

CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, October 21, 1976

A

General Motors wound up
in much the same position, and
now all of Canada knows it is
holding the Ine on its car
prices. Buying advertising to
tell the public this would have
cost thousands of dollars,

Come~to-
Calgar.

Mr. Chapman says the
board has. been looking into
three or four cases a month
where major companies appear
to have excess profits,

Now that the names of
companies with excess profits
are being made public, some
might voluntarily give the
financial details.

However, Mr. Chapman
says he doesn't expect many ~
companies will be doing this,
and as a result most of the
board's work on excess profits
will continue to go unrecog-
nized.

And, he adds, the unfair
criticism that the board only
controls wages will continue to
escalate,
