Rosswood _ and Nass Vailey are still to the north of us, to this very day. ~ ° About that time, George’s oldest brother Stewart moved to Terrace with his wife and family. Unfortu- nately, Stewart was as bad as Ross and had a reputation as a woman- izer in very short order. He was finally run out of town by a group of angry husbands, so he took his wife and family to settle even farther north. There was a place Tight across the border where Stewart could take his mistress and hide ’er. The towns of Stewart and Hyder can be found to the north of us, to this very day. George’s sister Hazel moved here next with her extremely large family. The family continued to grow and finally they had to move to a place where there was more _room. Hazel moved her family from Terrace to a spot further cast which became known as Hazel’s Town, The family just kept grow- ing. As they needed more room, they spread out and set up two new towns both of which they also ‘ named after Hazel. We still have Old Hazel’s Town, New Hazel’s Town and South Hazel’s Town to this very day. George’s first wife was a Ger- man girl named Kitsel. One sum- mer, she decided to spend a month with her sister-in-law Hazel, so she boarded a riverboat and headed up the Skinny River with her belong- ings packed on a donkey. In a canyon just a couple miles east of Terrace, Kitsel’s Ass fell off the riverboat into the river and was lost forever. That canyon was named after the event and is called Kitsel’s Ass Canyon to this very day. . Next to move to the area were George’s sister and her husband, Kay and Ile Land and their son, Edward. The large packs of dogs they brought with them did not get along with George’s dogs. So, after a while, this caused a strain in George’s relationship with his sister and brother-in-law. Kay and ‘Tle moved west to the coast where they could build a harbour and Start a fishing fleet. The feud con- tinued over the next few weeks, When it finally came to a head, George sent his champion wrestler to fight Ile’s champion wrestler part way between their towns. Only George and Ile and their dogs were there to witness the event. After a long hard fight, Ile’s wrestler was defeated. In rage, humiliation and disgrace, the wres- tler took his dogs and found a hole in the wall of a mountain in which to retreat. He stayed there for SE pheenaValler GOLF & COUNTRY CUB Pro Shop Summer Clearance Discounts from 10 - 50% on ‘clothing *golf bags AV _ sqaccessories gy: ‘Good range of ETONIC golf shoes, Amen’s and ladies’ Wide variety of golf clubs from beginners’ to advanced.

That is where the ex-champ sics his dogs on hapless passersby. That area is cafled Hole in the Wall and Ex champ sics to this very day. After the fight, Kay and Ile Land and their dogs went back to their, as yet unnamed harbour town. Everyone was extremely upset and sad and rued what had happed. Relations were now strained even worse with George and his family, That was such a sad day in their history that Kay and Ite Land decided it should never be forgot- ten. They named their town Rue Port. And some people stil! call it Rue Port, to this very day. Kay and Ile’s son, Edward, was a ne’er do well who couldn’t hold a job or save any money. Finally Ile tired of continually supporting him and sent him away to live on his own. He didn’t go far, just down the road a ways. Kay, being the softhearted woman she was, would always bring Poor Edward food and supplies. The townsfolk felt sorry for. Poor Edward and they call the area where he lived Poor Edward’s Village. To this very day. In subsequent years, when uned- ucated Poor Edward would write letters to his mother, he would have to print. Because Rue Port was a boring town and they didn’t have much to do, the people would: gossip about the fact that Edward "prints Rue Port" on the envel- opes. One day, a newcomer over- heard this and thought that Prints Rue Port was the name of. the town. So it is called to this day. ALL in...
