Gives Dimensions > Of Alcoa’s Huge Dam Approximate dimensions of the Al- uminum Company of Canada’s huge Nechako River dam have been made known by Lands and Forests Minister E. T. Kenney. The dam will be 300 fect high and 1500 feet long. There wil] be no over- flowing from the big structure which will effectively bottle up water in an artificial lake more than 100 miles long. The company does not at present contemplate making any provision for power generation at the Nechako River dam. Water used for this pur- pose would generate only a fraction of the power it woud when passed through the 1f-mile long tunnels lead- ing to the power honse on the west coast.

KING'S SALUTE FOR A PRINCESS —Central Press Canadian S a snappy salute from Boy Scout attends "Gang Show” at_a London The Cracker The one question.on everyone's lips at our last hold-forth wos “What do fyou think of MacLean’s letter in The Tribune?” meaning of course the let- ter purporting to explain his stand on the B.CH.IS. Everyone seemed anxious to answer it too, at one and the same time, and it was not until he had just abovt hashed in the top of the heater with iis pick handle that Chairmaa Hlunt was able to regain control of Lhe 1alk- fest. Order being resumed the chair. man addressed the forum with all sol- emnity. “Boys,” he_said, “it would be an act of Christian charity to refrain from public comment upon the subject now before the forum.” That sentiment met with unanimous approvai except possibly Ah Me who was heard to murmer with Wismer-like piety, some- thing about when the mists have rolled away. LET US PLAY Abe Roper then took the floor to in- form us the ranching fraternity is greatly perturbed over the dates set for the Williams Lake Stampede. He thought the matter of dates had been settled long ago, once and for all; viz; that in return for the support of the Barrel Forum By A. J. Drinkell it pay its way way but doubted if the results would come up to expectations He was inclined to agree with Frenchy that it might “boomerang.” Shorty thought the Cattlemen's As sociation had been asked to intervenc again and figured they should meet the Stampede committee before the advertising was put in hand. If the committee is convinced the proposed arrangement will yield suf- ficient extra tourist dollars to off-set what appears like an inevitable de- cline in local support; there is no- thing more to be said. It should be borne in mind however it is essen- tially a Cariboo Fete to which almost everyone looks forward and wishes it to be successful in every way, but, there is definitely a limit to the length of time we can be absent from the farms and ranches during the busy, but brief, Summer season. We realize spring was late in arriving the last two years but prospects are much better this year. We are fully, aware ere are many of our neighbors who rely almost entirely upon the tourist trade for a livelihood and the Stam- pede undoubtedly does attract much of this type of business. Just the same, FOREST GROVE AFTERNOON FIRE DESTROYS HOME A fire which broke out between the ceiling and the roof destroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Bradley last Tuesday afternoon.
