£ Talk of mining in a faraway

Mr. Hov bi>nv*«\l $20 uvui a
j; friend and set out in search
:• of new p 1 a c e s actual! y
:• Barkerville was the planned
•j destination because he hail a
friend there but he never got
•: that far, at least nut this time.
J: fits $20 had a long way to
stretch.
i Mr. Hoy boarded the train to
:| Ashcroft which cost him $S.2;>.
*. He walked the whole distance
: from Ashcroft to Soda Creek
(just south of Quesnel). He
: claimed he could walk faster
• than a covered wagon anyway.
• Once at Soda Creek he was
j able to board a boat headed
: for Quesnel. This cost him
: $5.
: Quesnel would be the end of
: the road.
• For .the next two yours
: Charlie Hoy went to work at
i various jobs.
In time, he began trading
• with the Indians . When money
: became scarce he used tokens
' uhich the Indians would use
; to buy their goods in his store
only. The fur market was
very bad. To get the best
prices possible, Hoy shipped
his furs all the way to St.
Louis, but this way was very
time-consuming. It was a long
ways for the cheque to come
back.
Getting freight up the river
was often impossible too, as
• the Indians refused to use the
• scow past Oct. 15, in case
: they'became trapped upstream
: by a frozen river.
At this point in Mr. Hoy's
life another change was necessary
as his capital was small
to- remain in business.
He closed up shop temporarily
and joined a survey
party. The survey was for a
st retch of the C. N. R.
from Prince George to
Edmonton. An Kdmontou parly
worked towards Tele •leune
Cache and back to Edmonton
while Hoy and his fellow
workers surveyed the section
between Prince George and the
Carb,o.
He enjoyed the work during
(he summer and remembers it
was pleasant travelling by
canoe
Hut the winter!
Hoy asked for transportation-
and got a dog team.
"You walk• -supplies ride!"
Mr. Hoy recalled. It took
two days travelling to make it
back to camp His first job
on the survey was chopping and
this lie had to do on snowshoes
He hail never used an
axe before and had never worn
snow shoes either.
"These weren't like the
suowshoes n o w a d a y s, they
were flat and round-like a fry
pan", he says.
Often the transit line took
him through thorn bushes. It
was terrible hard work. The
boss. Mr. Graham, made his
rounds about every two weeks.
Hoy told Mr. Graham how he
wanted to quit even though he
needed the money. The boss
reassured him he was doing
fine Hut there was a man
named Al who never tired of
(easing Hoy. competing with
him in their work and poking
fun. The next time the boss
made his rounds, Hoy told of .
the contest between him and Al.
To defend Hoy, the boss suggested
a chopping contest between
himself and the almighty
Al. When Al was beaten, the.
boss told him not t. ..-ase Hoy
anymore; he never did, and
Hoy was happy.
C. D. was eventually given an
easier job as a chainman. His
job was to follow the transit
man with steel painted poles.
He and the transit man would
have signals back and forth
so the pole could be placed in
the exact spot.
When Mr. Graham came on
his rounds the next time and
asked how Hoy liked his job.
Hoy told him. "Now, I am too
cold, this job--you don't move
around enough".
And so he took still another
job. This time he was to place
a balsam stake every 100
feet. In between times he had
to find the sticks and cut them
for stakes. Hoy remembers
how, when it was so cold and
quiet with the survey crew,
he could hear nothing but the
trees crack. When the eight
feet of snow melted in the
spring. Hoy found out how
easily he fell through.
Next, the boss asked if he
could take over cooking for the
crew. Hoy had experience
cooking in a hotel in China and
was sure even though there
were 22 men here to feed,
that he was able--at least they
couldn't be too fussy. He used
a 50 Lb. sack of flour every
day.
The time came after 20
months of work for the survey
crew to move on. Hoy was
offered fare to Vancouver with
the rest of the crew but would
have to find work for himself
once he arrived. Bui Hoy had
not forgotten his still-recent
experience with Vancouver and
had no wish to return.
It was about 1908 when he
came back to Quesnel and
then went on to his original
destination,-- Barkerville.
He found work in a mine
which paid $2.75 per day. However,
he had to board out and buy
rubber gloves and boots as
well. There was no other job
to be had so he made the best
of his situation.
Hoy taught himself photo­
ASK ANN LANDERS
Let babies cry in church'
Dear Ann Landers: I am
sick and tired of reading letters
from ministers and parishioners
who complain about
children crying in church. No
wonder our places of worship
are half empty. The clergymen
have made the mother of
a crying child feel as if she
has committed some terrible'
crime.
To me. a child's voice is
music. --- whether he is
speaking, singing or crying.
The child who cries in church
is expressing something, it
is normal. For the lffe of me I
cannot understand why anyone
would find this annoying. Much
more distressing, to me, at
least, is the adult who snores
during the sermon. If you feel
as 1 do please help me in my
crusade. ---Committee olOne
Dear Committee: What crusade?
To promote the acceptance
of crying children in
church? Sorry, I can't go along.
Crying is indeed a normal
function, but like other
normal functions, there is a
time and a place for it. A
child who cries in church is
a nuisance to the minister and
to those who carnotohear him.
I telephoned five clergymen
and asked them which they prefer,
a crying child or a snoring
adult. Four clergyman preferred
the snoring adult. Dr.
Preston Bradley of the
People's Church of Chicago
prefers the crying baby. He
said, "You can't do a thing
about a snoring adult. The
crying child, however, was
brought in by a mother who
can carry him out."

'Deal -
Ann Landers: Our
daughter who was recently divorced
and has two children,
announced last week that she is
going to marry a widower.
The wedding is planned for next
spring.
When I was told the good
news, I assumed they would
want to be married in the minister's
study, with only the immediate
families present. I
suggested that following the
ceremony we would all go to a
restaurant or hotel for a
festive dinner which my hus-
Ixind and I would host.
The groom looked very disappointed.
He said he had envisioned
a more elaborate
affair -

graphy and made more money
on the side from his pictures
than his wages from the mine.
He quit Barkerville in 1910
and started Hoy's Department
Store in Quesnel in 1914. When
The First World War broke out
there was no business at all.
He decided there was no point
in leaving Quesnel again--
at least he had a place to sleep
and besides money was not
easier to find elsewhere.
There was lots of labor to be
had, but he couldn't afford
any wages.
In 1917 in February, Hoy
hitched up two horses and a
buggy (which was placed onto
a sleigh). He was headed to
the coast and then by boat to
China to bring back a wife.
The snow was so deep that
the horses broke through to
their bellies. At one point
when 'Hoy and a travelling
companion could go no further,
the horses had to be dug out.
Hoy left his buggy in Ashcroft
and took his horse to a
rancher whom he asked to keep
and care for the animal until
Hoy returned in several
months.
The months passed and the
day came when Hoy stepped off
the train in Ashcroft, back
from China a married man.
He found his horse in excellent
condition. However,
his new bride had never seen
a horse and had never ridden
in a buggy.
At one point in the long trip
back, Hoy was about to feed the
horse some oats. He was a
tricky horse--and without any
consideration tfi its master-it
took off--buggv-wife- and
all.
Hoy was left on the ground in
a cloud of dust. He ran,
and ran, trying to catch up, but
of course it was impossible
on foot. The horse ran about
five miles before it finally
tired out. Mrs. Hoy had not
even had the reins, although
her husband told her it was
better that she didn't since
she hadn't any idea how to
use them.
She was badly shaken.
When Hoy caught up lo her,
lie told her how lucky .she was
not to have been injured, lit;
tied up the horse and flagged
down a Model T Ford coming
along the road, which was then
a regular passenger service
from Ashcroft to \ }n. He
rode back to camp a. en paid
the car to take him back again
to his horse rather than walk
that whole distance again.
They were a very happy •
couple to at last arrive to •
the comforts on their own •
home. The war was over, j
business was great. :
When a coal oil lamp was:
upset. Hoy's rooming house;
caught fire and was burned:
to the ground. He had hoped to :
use it for storage later. •
Hoy's present home on Bar-low
Avenue, became the,first •
stucco house in Quesnel, in j:
1934. He says when he built:
the house, "everyone say-:
something wrong with the Hoy. :
Stucco won't stand up." It was :
plastered and ' stuccoed by :
Frank Hill, father of Guy Hill, j:
a plasterer in Quesnel today, j:
Hoy was told if any cracks |:
appeared Mr. Hill would come i
back and fix them. Frank Hill :•
visited from time to time to J
make sure all was well. Only
one crack ever appeared. The •:
green-colored stucco is made j:
of smashed ginger ale bottles,
the amber color is from:smashed
beer bottles, the red :•
color is a rock packed in :j
from Red Bluff and carefully :j
screened by hand. The white-:
is marble brought on the train •:
from Vancouver. It cost $6,-1:
000 to build his house-a lot of :•
money in 1934. The highest :•
wage for a carpenter was 50C :•
an hour and for thedesigner 75 :j
cents per hour. The basement •:
. was dug with scrapers pulled •:
by horses and filled by men. j:
Around 1938 Mr. Hoy built :|:
the theatre in Wells and also :•:
the power house there. He :•
owned the electricity from:-
Wells to Barkerville. His most §
recent accomplishment was v
addition to his own Hoy's?

ago. £
Over the years Mr. Hoy •:
has travelled lo China several \

days, he now travels there in •:
14 hours by jet. :|:
As well, he has visited -i;

A.C.W. Notes
At the February meeting
of the Anglican Church
Women, Father Way, who has
consented to be Education
Chairman for the coming year,
sparked an interesting discussion
on Communications.
Portion s of records of
three types of religious music
were played, and members
tried to explain how they
felt about each style. One
portion was from the controversial
"Joseph".
These discussions will be
continued at meetings through
the year, and all Anglicans
are invited to come out and
share their views with others.

C.W.L.NOTES
A 16-year member of the

Mrs. Irene Hughes, who has
been an active member for the

During the meeting members
voted to donate a sum of
money to the Canadian Mental
Health Association which

is asked to contact
Mrs. Peter Gook. Those wishing
to attend the convention
scheduled for Merritt on April
11 and 12, should also contact
Mrs. Gook.
Do you read fairy tales to
your young children?
As I was reading, Red Riding
Hood, I stopped; there was
something in the words "The
wolf gobbled little Red Riding
Hood's grandmother all up-then
jumped into her bed,
pulled her nightcap over his
head, and lay their waiting for
Red Riding Hood", that just
strikes me as not fitting for
a bedtime story.
How about some more examples?
"The three bears chased
Goldilocks into the woods and
she never returned." or "Have
a bite of my rosy red apple,
rny dear," cackled the old
wicked witch; or "You must'
bring me your prettiest
daughter or I will have your
head," replied the beast.
And here's a dilly- "Stick
out your finger, little boy, so
I can see if you're ready for
the oven."
This topic came to my attention
while I was reading
such a story. In the midst ofit
I found myself changing the
text of the story so that the
kids wouldn't have nightmares.
A part could be picked from
every fairy tale; its only value
being for horror content.
I have since discarded
fairy tales as bedtime stories
in favor of the "Cat in
the Hat" or some other lighthearted
fancy.
I can remember, as a young
child myself, having had
dreams about bears and

Society wants pottery workshop
The need for a centrally located
art workshop was
pointed out at the March 1
meeting of the Quesnel Art
Society. Interest in pottery
particularly, has pointed to
the need for such a workshop.
However, attempts to acquire
such a building have been
fruitless. The subject is
still under investigation and
the Society would appreciate
any suggestions.
The Centennial .'71 Committee
of Quesnel has asked the
Quesnel Arts Council to arrange
an exhibition of photographs
"Portraits of Nature"
by William Dukur, which
will be in Quesnel March 23
and 24 at the Helen Dixon
School. Art Club members will
be assisting Mr. Dukur in
setting up his exhibition. Invited
guests will be present
at an opening ceremony on the
evening of March 23.
As a Centennial project,
the club is to arrange _ for
exhibitions of several different
handiwork hobbies to be displayed
in store windows in the
down town area during the
coming summer months. It is
known that there are many
handicrafts practiced in this
area that are rarely displayed
. Centennial year
would be a good time to see
what talent is all around us,
and to encourage it.
Local woman named
mine firm director
Market gardens and mining
have one thing in common --
Agnes Bourque.
Mrs. Bourque, who has operated
the market garden at
Baker Farm on the westside
for the past several years,
has stepped into a new sphere.
But, she doesn't think being
made a director of Rokon
Mines Ltd. will interfere with
her garden operations.
She is just back from Vancouver
where she successfully
negotiated with her son
Ernest North, to become a
director in his company, And,
says Agnes, "I didn't have to
join Women's Lib to do it."
The whole venture began
when her son, a prospector
for many years, began staking
mining claims in the Cariboo.
The company now consists of
three properties -- Highland
Valley, with 48 claims; Canim
wolves. Considering I lived in
the middle of Vancouver this
would have to be termed unusual.
1 wonder if fairy tales
had a thing to do with it?
Especially since parents had
little choice then in reading
material for pre-schoolers.
Parents teach their children
to believe in Santa Glaus,
the Easter Bunny, and the
Tooth Fairy. Then, on the other
hand, they read stories about
bears and wolves, beasts and
witches. How can any child
know where fiction and nonfiction
become separated?
While I was reading Red
Riding Hood, I added a false
ending, hoping to send the
kids to bed on a cheerier
note. "The woodsman, hearing
Red Riding Hood's screams

"I like to see peopleinvesting

Really, this insults the intelligence

- 18 WEDNESDAY MARCH 10. 1971 QUESNEL CARIBOO OBSERVER
Rural Route
by DIANE MYERS
In order to know and understand a law, we have to practice
it. And, of course, practice makes perfect.
Discounting a minority of "baddies", society on the whole
has learned by following laws, that a fairly stable coexistence
is possible. However, there are certain laws over
which we have little or no control. There is no red tape involved
with these laws and all are, more or less, applied
when and if the need arises. A brief rundown includes the
law of averages, the law of Nature, the unwritten law, the
law of diminishing returns and many more.
But there is only one law few people have heard of which
applies to all of us, in some way or another, every day.
This relatively unheard of, yet well-used law has been handed
down from generation to generation and originates with a
fellow named Mr. Murphy. Murphy's Law, loosely paraphrased,
goes something like this: "if anything can go wrong,
it always will and always at the worst times."
No one seems to know when and how Murphy came up
with this brilliant law, but he sure hit the old nail on the
head. Possibly the idea derived during the Great Potato
Famine, Murphy being an Irish name. Or maybe he was
lamenting his plight when he tried to kiss the Blarney Stone
and someone let go of his feet! We'll probably never know
for sure, but it stands to reason, anyone coming up with a
law like that must have had an extended run of rotten luck.
Those are the words of a true pessimist!
ODDS AGAINST YOU
However, it isn't necessary to be a pessimistic Irishman
to find Murphy's Law cropping up in situation after
situation. And there are certain tell-tale signs which give
fair warning that the sky is ready to tall in. For instance,
in the morning, if you jump out of bed and fall on your face,
crawl out of bed and step on a roller skate or carefully
rise from bed and walk into the wall, chances are things
are going to get worse as the day progresses. If incidents
of this type are ignored, the next obvious ones should enlighten
even the slow learners! Should you survive the simple
act of getting out of bed, and then leave for work with a half
hour drive ahead and you're five minutes late already and...
the car won't start...look out! You're stuck with Murphy's
law the rest of the day!
Have courage, my friends, because that car stalled in
the middle of an intersection during rush hour is more
than likely going to be yours. The person who slips on the
ice while hurrying to renew a medical insurance policy
which expired two hours before and the person who can't
find $4,782.73 just as the auditors arrive is going to be...
in accordance with Murphy's Law... you, Baby, you!!
THE S6GGY,S0GGY DEW
To be more specific, let's consider the weather and how
old Murphy's law applies. It's summer, a hot, sunny day.
Naturally, any farmer will start mowing hay. But first
he'll have problems starting the tractor, the mower won't
work properly for the first several rounds and he'll waste
two hours of precious sunlight mired down in a bog hole.
To make matters worse the thunderheads are gathering on
the horizon even though the weatherman reassured him he
had at least a week of drying weather. And of course, by
morning the following day, his freshly mown hay is laying
in a couple of inches of the soggy, soggy dew! You will
have to agree, if it was going to happen, it couldn't have
happened at a worse time!
Then there is the weather situation existing now here in
the Cariboo. It's not too cold, but not too warm. All the
logging truck drivers are in high gear, the mills are
screaming for logs, lumber prices are starting to climb
at a steady rate, the future of the whole industry is picking
up and what's going to happen? Right, Break-up! It couldn't
happen at a worse time!
The list of life's little mishaps is endless thanks to
Murphy's Law. It's like being in a state of seige with your
hands tied behind your back, blindfolded and no help in
sight. Lady Luck has disappeared over the hill and you're
up a creek without a boat, let alone a damn paddle!
Around the old ranch, we have our own law, a slight
variation of Murphy's Law, but similar in many respects.
Instead of saying "If anything can go wrong, it always will
and always at the worst time", we say "Everything always
goes wrong, it probably always will and it couldn't
happen at a worse time, but always does"! We refer to
it as Myers Law!
By applying Myers Law to our everday life, we are always
fully prepared for the worst, expect the worst and
accept the worst. It's a whole lot easier than being an old
pessimist like poor old Mr. Murphy.

use this library. It contains books on Campcraft, Handicraft,
Nature Craft, Scrapbooks on Patrol Leader Training,
Campfire Planning, Brownie Ceremonies, Testwork, Outdoor
Work, British Red Cross Manuals, books on Lord Baden-

more books, pamphlets and films which Guiders can borrow
to help with their packs and companies.
Information and books may be obtained from Mrs. F.

the Quesnel District meeting later this month.

SEMAPHORE FOR BROWNIES. Some time ago there was
debate as to whether or not semaphore should be kept in the
Brownie programme. But experts skilled in work with children
can simply find no other test with semaphore's valuable
qualities. It develops: 1. Perseverence - a Brownie
has to learn semaphore for herself. 2. Co-ordination of mind
and body - and good sense of opposites and mirror images.
3. Confidence - and a sense of achievement once semaphore is
mastered.
There are eight possible arm positions. The Brownies
must be accurate about each of them. Most people find that
learning semaphore by opposites is best, but there is no set
way. A good nucleus of letters might include the opposites,
A and G; BandF;CandE; 0 and W; P and J; plus easy letters
such as D, L, N, U, andR. Learning the letters in alphabetical
order is called the circle method, and NOT recommended because
most girls first have to go round the circle in their
minds to find the letter being signalled. The other methods
provide no prop - the girls must use their memories for
instant recognition.
A good intruductory game is to demonstra six easy letters
such as B, F, 0, W, U, N. Go over them slowly, then label
the Brownies in eachSix withtheseletters.The Guider signals
a letter and that Brownie must jump up, shout her letter, clap
her hands over her head and sit down. The letter P might be
included so that the whole pack jumps up when it is signalled.
As in all games, stop when the Brownies are still betreing for
more. Review at each succeeding meeting,and add a new letter.
Signal a few simple words like Fun, Bow. Pow Wow. (Some
other games and more information can be found in the
Guider Handbook, Chapter 4.)
