TORRENTIAL rain that deluged
the district last Saturday
night touched off a series of
flash floods that ripped highways
to shreds and caused
washouts on the PGE line that
may take as long three weeks
to repair.
Queanel was completely cut
off by road and rail, until yesterday
when a link was restored
with Prince George. Meanwhile
Wells and Barkerville remain
isolated by a break in the east
approach to the Cottonwood River
bridge.
There were five breaks in the
highway between here and Cuisson
Creek bridge, the most
serious being at Australian
when dammed up waters of
swollen Australian Creek swept
away the highway fill and roared
across part of the Yorston
ranch.
The Australian fill went out
about r):30 p.m. Sunday while
scores of district residents stood
by helplessly. A crew at the
ranch worked all day to cut a
channel for the flood waters but
the effort waa hopeless.
At Si.sters Creek, 10 miles
south of Quesnel the highway
fill went out about 10 a.m. and
sliortly after there was another
break at the Dragon Siding corner.
Kfersley bridge was another
trouble spot and on Monday
the Cuisson Ci-eek bridge was
declared unsafe for travel when
centre footings were washed a-
way.
Narcosli Creek and Buck
Ridge are also cut off by washouts
on the Fraser Road. While

ALBERT Listander, known
to fellow loggers as "Bull'

while swimming at Mc­
Leese Lake. His body was
recovered shortly after the
tragedy which was witnessed
by several fishing parties who
failed to realize the swimmer
was in difficulties.
Listander was known to be
a strong swimmer and earlier
had been giving lessons to
children at the lake.
He had been a resident of
Quesnel district for the past
three years, coming here from
the coast. A cousin is imderstood
to reside at Kamloops.

Well Known Chinese Passes
FUNERAL service was held at
St. Andrew's United Church
on Monday for Joe Chow, 69,
who died in Quesnel Hospital
last Friday. He had been in ill
health for some time. Rev. D.
W. Perrie was officiating minister.
Interment took place in
Quesnel Cemetery.
Mr. Chow came to Quesnel
from Canton, China iu 1912 and
had been a resident of this area
from that time on. He worked
as a cook between here and Williams
Lake and for the past seven
years he operated the Dragon
Cafe in Quesnel.
He is survived by three daughters
and a son residing in
Canton, China, and a sou Pat,in
Quesnel. He was predeceased by
his wife eight years ago.
Werbecki and W. C. Speare will
continue as members of the
l)oa rd.
Commenting on the poor attendance,
chairman Keith Yorston
.said that iu his opinion the
trustees have no function unless
requested for additional
money by the Hospital Board.
He pointed out that in the
event of further fund raising it
is now necessary to call a plebiscite
to scure approval of the
rate-payers. Previously the
trustees were empowered to set
up money bylaws without going
to the ratepayers.

reports that funds
appeared adequate to cover
completion of the new hospital.

A Very Costly Lesson
The traffic tie-up which resuUed from the highway and
3'ail washouts of last weekend has been a costly lesson, and
one which should ensure every precaution being taken against
a re-occurance.
Abnormal weather conditions were the cause of what
might almost be termed a disaster, but despite the weather
there is evidence that at least some of the work might have
been at fault.
Flash floods have been known in the Cariboo in years past,
and what happens once can always happen again.
Two of the most serious breaks in the highway south of
Quesnel occurred at points that the highway was consideied
"reconstructed" to standards at least approaching those of the
new road steadily reaching north from Cache Creek. Yet
there was not adequate provision for drainage in time of emergency,
and last Saturday certainly saw an emergency.
No doubt the culverts placed under the two fills were considered
sufficient to handle annual run-off. The fact that they
served for a period of several years proves this but there was
not that extra capacity for those exceptional conditions which
were created by the prolonged deluge of last Saturday.
Possibly no culvert could have withstood the torrents of
water that poured down Sisters Creek, and at Australian, but
larger drainage pipes would certainly have helped and they
might well have prevented a good portion of the damage which
was expei-ienced.
The cost of even doubling the culvert calculated to provide
a sufficient safety factor would be negligible when figured a-
gainst the repair bill that must now be met in this district.
Central B.C. is gaining an increasingly important place in
the economy of British Columbia. When business here is upset
its effect is felt throughout B.C. Further, what is termed
the Cariboo Highway is not only the sole north-south route
for the province but the most direct route to the Yukon and
Alaska as well.
Such a highway should be in truth an all-weather highway
and that means the type of highway which can withstand even
the extremes of weather at least well enough to avoid tie-ups
that halt international traffic for days on end.
It has been stated that permanent repairs at Sisters Creek
will be effected in about 15 days time and that rebuilding of
the break at Australian will be completed in approximately a
month. Let us- hope those repairs will be considerably more \
permanent than the original construction.

Donee Marks Opening of New Paving
OFFICIAL opening of the
first paving to be undertaken
by the Village of Quesnel

followed by a successful
street dance sponsored by
the Women's Auxiliary to
Quesnel Hospital.

The suggestion that accidents would increase seems a little
far fetched for statistics taken from the speed ways of the east
have proven that speed is not the prime cause of accidents. Poor
driving habits contribute to the greatest percentage of accidents
and speed limits have nothing to do with preventing such
habits.
Why not face the facts squarely and gear our highways regulations
to fit the individual conditions rather than stick to an
out-dated system which is openly violated every day.

Constables A. Scully and A.

Prior to the ribbon cutting
ceremony A. V. Fraser,
chairman of the village commissioners,
remarked that the
paving is the final step in an
improvement program which
has been under way in the
business area for the past
two seasons.
He added that while it is
the first to be undertaken by
the village it will not be the
last and it is hoped to continue
the work as funds will permit
until at least aU the main
streets are surfaced.
Mrs. Marie Hutchcroft,
treasurer of the Hospital Auxiliary
revealed Tuesday that
the affair had netted $150
which will be used to further
the work of the Auxiliary in
providing hospital improvements
and comforts.
On behalf of the Auxiliary
she extended thanks to everyone
who contributed toward
making the dance a success,
and especially thanked
the commissioners for their
co-operation in preparing the
dance site.

Machinery Tox Not New
Tlie protest being raised over the assessment of machinery ;
being made in municipalities under the new provincial taxation
scheme will have the support of all machinery owners,
but it is not something new in this province.
Operators in what were classed "unorganized" portions of
the province have long been faced with the tax. It was only
in the municipalities where a portion of school costs were met
by the mimicipality that the tax was not levied.
But now that the issue is being taken it should be pushed
through to the Umit. Already there has been one court ruling
against the tax and there may be more.
On the face of it why should machinery be assessed? The
merchant who has little or no equipment beyond his shelves,
pays taxes only on his building and in many instances his profits
may be far in excess of some other enterprise dependent
upon machinery. Yet the machinery, which is an essential to
doing business, is taxable.
This simply means that the manufacturer is faced with a
dual tax which adds to his cost of doing business, and must of
necessity, influence the cost of his product. Granted the manufacturer
may not be in as high a tax area in a given community
as the merchant, but that should be no reason to place tax on
machinery which is a means of providing additional payroll
and indirectly building a larger tax roll for the province.
Now that the provincial government has embarked on what
it terms a tax equalization program it should go the whole way
and ensure that there is truly an equalization of taxation and
not inequalities which place penalties against one type of business
and not against another.
Why Not Face Facts?
A news report late last week stated that Highways Minister
P. A. Gaglardi's plan to boost speed limits on certain B.C.
Highways to 60 miles per hour has not been abandoned but
is merely being held in abeyance, because "it seems to be a
general feeling it is not good at this time".
Authority to boost the speed limit on selected highways as
granted at the spring Session of the Legislature and that is
where the matter rests.
Just what is meant by "a general feeling" that the move is
not good at this time seems a pretty nebulous sort of explanation.
What appears the real reason foi- the delay is the hint that
insurance companies might up their rates with the hi^er speed
limit in effect.
Actually Mr. Gaglardi seems to be taking a more realistic
view of the situation than the insurance companies. It is a
known fact that the general flow of traffic on this province's
top highways moves faster than the 50 mile per hour limit.
In fact 60 miles per hour is far more like the average speed
travelled and in many instances motorists drive at speeds considerably
above that.
If Mr. Gaglardi was proposing to raise the limit to 60 miles
per hout for the entire province it might be another matter. As
it is there should be nothuig wrong with making a 60 mile lunit
for highways like much of the new Cariboo Highway and others
now being built in B.C.

Rain Washes Out Local Sports
SPORTS took a drenching
over the weekend along
with most everything else.
Little leaguers who started on
Saturday night were forced
to quit when the deluge began
and the second game of
the evening of course went
by the boards.
Sunday's ball double header
was called off due to wet
grounds so Lumbermen and
Clippers will have a couple of
games to work in later in the
season.
The washed out games may
have been a bad break for
Lumbermen who will be losing
Gerry Glassford shortly
and are also rumored to be
losing pitcher Gene Slack.
Lumbermen are feeling a
keen player pinch. Albert
Johnston is out with a pulled
.shoulder muscle, Roy Blair
won't be playing for the next
two months due to a broken
finger, and Billy Keen has
hung up his .spikes in favor of
a coaching job with the Little
Leaguers.
Monday night's Little League
ball was also rained out
and of course the inter-club
