THE FAR NORTH Driving East through Del Bonita and Twin River our chauffeur mentioned three or four farms that have changed hands recently. The former owners having sold'out and moved North into the Peace River district. We wish them well and the best of luck. . Peace River was dry in ’63 while Del Bonita had splendid crops. _ Our family arrived in 1899» Not a house or fence between Stirling and the Pot Hole. It was then the Narrow Gauge Railway (Turkey Trail) between Great Falls, Stirling.aiid Lethbridge’ at that time. We were all sick and weary of travel1ing. A train of cars, sheep, cattle, horses etc* Most pioneers came overland with horses and covered wagons. No doubt some passed us on the way. No plans nor any desire to go farther North. We were close enough to the North Pole. The L.D.S. pioneers were visited by Church Authorities three or four times a.year in the pioneer days* Their sermons, as we remember, were either on the "second coming" of the Messiah, or the return of the Ten Tribes from the North, Just how far North no one seem— ed to know. As a teenager we had an idea they were farther North than the Peace River, region. Then we learned that most of the ten tribes were Scotch Jews waiting for the.ice to flow down in order to get a free ride* Timp. and sermons change. You never hear the two subjects above mentioned any more. . The Ten Tribes lost their identity somewhere'and as for the "second coming" of the Messiah that may be ten thousand years or more hence, who knows? The sermons of the brethem today, they come in pairsj one speakc on Genealogy, the other on Welfarei As for our f ami 1y tree, if we trace our pedigree back to our grand parents that will be far enough* Now as for welfare) the word seems to have an impoverished ring attached to it* It is in the mouths of everyone. In our youth they gave without thought of any return, long before anyone dreamed of welfare. But it is the trend today. "Everyone works bpt Father". Some comment has been passed of late regarding the condition of the paved main street, of Ifegrath. Hans Pfeffel, President of the Magrath Chaitiber of Commerce states'the following letter has been forwarded to the Dept, of Highways, Government of Alberta, Edmonton. "We once again wish to express our thanks to our Provincial Government for the work which they have done for us, and seeinf fit to route Highway #62 through the business section of our town. We wish to draw to your attention the condition of the road at this time, Al 1 curbs were in place during two heavy rains of 311 and 4" in July, drainage worked very well and no water was left standing, . ., . . Last fall the contractor’s paving equipment did break down several times while in town and one side had to be held up by a separate road grader. At that time it was noticed that the intersections were not finished properly and low spots were left a few feet from the curbs leaving large puddles when it rained. This was drawn to the attention of the resident engineer at the time. This Spring the road through town has settled in many places leaving no crown and considerable water standing. Perhaps before the road is accepted from the contractor it should be given a good inspection and once again thanking you for your'kind co-operation, Town of Magrath, K.K, Balderson, Supt, of Public Works. . < • «.
