THE OMINECA HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1925 For Tourists Has ‘Hazelton As End A man who has travelled the trails of British Columbia and } |partielarly those in Northern and Central British Columbia, Wm. Ware, superintendent of Hudson’s Bay Co. posts, keenly regrets the neglect of the oppor- tunities to secure tourist traffic through this country. Mr. Ware . recently returned from his semi-annual trip into the Babine and: Fort St. James posts. Of the trail between Ba- bine and Hazelton he says there is none finer or more picturesque, but it has been sadly neglected of late years. Right now it is not safe to travel on account of the bridges, several of which are hardly safe for a foot passenger. The horses must swim the streams, which are mostly very fast. Not only has the neglect of this trail lost a great deal of business to Hazelton, but it has|- lost a very profitable business, and one which will be very diffi- cult to regain. Until the trail is put in shape again there will be no business and there will be no tourist traffic. Mr. Ware referred to the life shown by Vanderhoof, Burns Lake and Topley in getting after the Babine business and in cater: ing to the tourist, and to the fact that Smithers is now bidding for a share of that business by oven- ing up a trail to the Babine That was all Hazelton business a few years ago, and it. was a big business. . Speaking of tourists, there are two classes. One‘ class buys summer excursion tickets for a round trip and ‘‘do’’? Canada and British Columbia from the pull- man ear, with day stops at a few railway centres. The other class looks for a real holiday and:a trip into the country not yet disturbed by the human beautifiers. This is the class that means big money to all: the amall tewns and settle- These tourists are the ones with money and the ones who enjoy spending it as much as they enjoy making it. These are the tourists who are looking for just such trips as J{this northern. country: can give them. To The Herald Mr. Ware out: lined a trip that. will appeal to every man and woman with red blood in their veins and money to gratify their desires, He ‘has travelled the route many times himself and few know better what the country offers, He would start from Vanderhoof and travel by motor over a good road ‘already built forty-one miles to Fort St, James, on Stuart Lake, where there is already a lodge| catering to the comforts of the traveller; then by boat he would proceed forty miles down Stuart Lake, at ‘the head of which there is a salmon: hatchery which is very interesting to visitors, From the hatchery across to’ Babine Lake is eight miles and. there is a ale toad now on which cars can: be'used. Babine Lake is one of “4 los: the larzest and most beautiful i in the north. It pives: a boat trip of éne hundred and ten miles to Babine Indian vilage, Hudson’s Bay post, and Babine Hatchery. Then by saddle horse fifty miles over the summit and following Bear Creek“and into Hazelton would complete the tour. All along the trail are excellent cam- ping grounds. On ali.the lakes and streams there is excellent fishing, and, in season, the best of hunting is obtainable in the district traversed. It is a real paradise .for the lovers of the great outdoors. , Other towns are developing this business and are already getting results, - If this district is to share in it a start must be made now to put our end of the route in shape. . oO EDITORIAL {[]sspemeses temae moons {"} Boundless Hospitality To the people of the interior is due credit for the splendid hos- pitality shown to visitors during the Smithers Fair and the Telkwa Barbecue, A visitor had only to express a wish and that wish was granted. Many were heard to remark at the time, and since, ‘Oh, it was a wonderful outing.”’ That is the sort of hospitality which brings business and makes everyone feel kindly towards a district and its people. / o a || Porn Terrace ra iF 36 Geo, Clothier, resident mining engineer, made an examination of the mineral properties of J.
