These speculators must have fe l t Bamf ie ld was i t . At thet ime, John Devereux, who was capta ln of the Dominlon Steamer,Si r James Douglas, was t ranspor t ing prov ls ions to l lghthouses,inc lud ing the one at Cape Beale, and probably ln f luenced h isbusiness acquaintances to invest in Bamf ie ld . (There was a lo t o fspecu la t i on a t t ha t t ime tha t a ra i lway spu r l i ne wou ld be comingto the area. )

They employed Wi l l iam Ralph, a prov lnc ia l surveyor , to markout the boundar ies and a l lo t each a l /4 sect lon. Ralph thenprepared a map i l lust rat ing the survey and ca lcu lated the area ofeach l /4 sect lon. I t ls noteworthy that , shor t ly a f ter th issurvey, Ralph marked out the West boundary of the E & N landgrant which was coRveyed to Rober t l )unsmuir , Coal Baron, andAssociates for bu i ld ing the E & N Rai lway. Ralph determined, byspher ica l t r igonometry , the west boundary of the Grant to be138 .6 m l les l ong , t hen pos ted i t w i thou t t he he lp o f p lanes , ca rsor s tagecoaches - no smal l chal lenge in those days.

Emanuel and Francis Cox, l ighthouse keepers t ransferred f romBarens Is land, V lc tor ia , to Cape Beale in 1877, probably had morethan speculat ion in mind when going in on the deal s ince the i rdescendants have cont inued to res ide in the area, a l though youmight wonder i f they were not get t ing a long very wel l .

Some .pBople do d iscuss the i r ideas wi th me. Al l that I dois g ive them my personal op in lon of whether or not the idea isl ike ly to be acceptable in Bamf ie ld . Some people l is ten to me,some donr t . Next , a prospect ive appl icant must formal ly apply tothe Regional Dis t r ic t P lanning Depar tment . J im McManus or L ibbyAvis wi l l then make the i r recommendat ions f rom a p lanning per-spec t i ve , i . e . , i f t h i s t ype o f deve lopmen t we re t o go i n toBamf le ld , would th is be a good locat lon for i t? Are the necessaryse rv l ces ava i l ab le? e tc .

A f te r t he P lann ing Depar tmen t comp le tes i t s eva lua t i on andmakes i t s recommenda t ions , t he app l i ca t i on i s sen t t o t he l oca lA.P,C. for the i r recommendat ions. This is where the democrat icprocess begins, for the ,A,P.C. members are al l elected by thecommuni ty at Communl ty Af fa i rs meet ings. The A.P.C. then g ivesthei r recommendat ion to me. I f - they recommend ln favour of theappl icat ion, I then ask the Regional Board to g lve the BylawF i r s t Read ing , so tha t i t may p roceed to Pub l i c Hear ing .

I made the comment regard ing one appl icat ion that the argu-ments opposing the proposal were emot ional and those in favourwere log ica l and wel l thought out . J im commented last month thateveryone has a r ight to be emot ional , and I couldnr t agree more.But what must be considered is that appl icants and some of the i rsuppor ters a lso tend to get qu i te emot ional i f they fee l they arego ing to be den ied the r i gh t t o u t i l i ze the i r p rope r ry i n wha tthey deem to he the best manner . When, therefore, emot ions arerunn ing h igh on bo th s ides (as i s usua l l y t he case ) , t he on l y wayto make a recommendat ion to the Board on a proposal is on thefactual arguments put forward by both s ides.

The second i tem I would l lke to d iscuss is TV rebroadcast-i ng . As mos t o f you know the re was a recen t f und - ra i s ing e f fo r tt o ra i se money to pu t a l ega l t e lev i s ion sys tem on the a l r . I twas successfu l , but the quest ion has been ra ised as to how we

should ra ise the money in the fu ture. There are two problemswi th the current method. F l rs t , i f on ly a few people dec ide thatthey donr t want to contr ibute, there would be insuf f ic ient funds,and i f the year ts fees are not pa id on t lme the s ignal would bewi thdrawn. Secondly , a fund-ra is ing requi res the serv ices of anumber of vo lunteers. Two of the people who were involved th isyear have a l ready to ld me that they would not be prepared to idoi t again next year .

The a l ternat lve method of f inanclng would be through taxa-t ion. This would cost each ta'xpayer approxlmately 60 cLnts pert housand do l l a r s o f t he assessed va lue o f t he imp rovemen ts(bui ld ings) on the proper ty . People wi th raw land would nor betaxed for th is , and i f your house were assessed at $40,000.00 forexample, you would pay $24.00 per year for TV (at current ra tes) .

The Reglonal Dis t r ic t current ly raxes for TV Rebroadcast ingin Tof ino, Ucluelet and Long Beach, and i t has worked qul te wel lfor the last f lve years. I f we were to go that route, we wouldhave to conduct a Referendum in November. As Referenda costmoney, I would l ike to fee l reasonably cer ta in that the major i tyof Bamf le lders are in favour before I ask the Board to author izei t . P lease le t me know what you th ink!

TLetters to fbc €biforsDear Edi tor r

Once again, I have had the pleasure of reading the'narkley Sounder. gfhile my rork requires me to follon

cournunity events in Bamfield, I have another interestbecause, in my personal world, Bamfield is a spir i tualhome, a condit ion arising from the 2 years I l ived inthe sett lement at the erucial fomative age of 16 andI7 yea rs "

What currently provokes past memories is the furorearouncl the Ftarine Pub l icense issuen specif ical ly, TomCtrr is t ian 's le t ter in the ! l ,ay issue suggest ing thatthe drowning inc ident o f 37 year$ ago tnot 45) may srmay not be true"

I vras there when they pulled his body out and I eanarisr*re you it real ly di-d. happen. tet &e breg yr:r:ri :relu"l-qerrce u'hj- ie I st ir up arl imperfect rn*mory tor+c r lun t t he even t .

L,et rs ca l l h im Paddy, for I can ' t remember h is rea lnam€" lty i.mpression erf Paddy is that he canne to theh+tel regularly; probably every Saturday night. Oneach visit , Paddy t ied up his boat - a dugout I think -at the same spot on the Government float- It seernedto us that he had some sort of pioneer's claira on thatvery t ie up spot and we al l recogrnized his prior claim.

Alas. a tourist came to town one Saturday night and,unaware of Paddy's claim, moved his boat around thecorner to an unaccustomed place. Short ly after, thetour is t le f t wi thout put t i .ng Paddy 's boat back.t{hen the hotel pub closed, paddy bought his usual zdoien beers and made his fogEy way clown to his boat,carrying the beer in a bear hug-

As fuLl of certainty as se who expect to f ind dayfol lowi.ng the nightl paddy stepperd off the f loat ontor+here he expected his boat to be.'t6

\

After a day or so, we began to search for Paddy whenit becane obvioua that his boat had not moved iineethe previous Saturday night, but he sas nowhere to befound.

Some time later, perhaps a couple of weeks or so,another small" out of towrr boat approached the floatto tie up, on one of those summer days rhen the yaterused to suddenly become "so clear you could almostbecome giddy from looking at the bottorn.

A child in the visitorsr boat leaned far over the bowto catch the float and looked down to see Paddy lyinghead down on tbe bottom, with his legs waving gentlyin the current.

Along rith other apprentices from the Cable $tation,I watched as the Provincial Police raised Paddy fromthe sea. The man handling the grapple told us thererere beer bottles undeg Paddy and that they eeened tobe holding him down- We could see from the posit ionof his ax-tns that he sas hugging the boxes to his chest.CIf course, the boxes had long since deterj,orated-

After the excitornent subsidedr s€ apprentices weresitt ing over a cup of coffee and lamenting Paddy'spassing. I em sure the youth of today have no sucherass appetites, but ne, being less virtuous, began

'to speculate about the loss of Faddy's beer in about20 feet of water. lge resolved to raise the beer soas to hold a proper wake for our old friend,

So we organized an expedition for the next low tide.

I couldn't even get close to that depth, but one ortr*o of our crew could. lfe picked up our herring bucket(do you remember when the herring boats used to setright off the mouth of the creek? tle used to dip apail rith holes punched into the bottom and scoop outall the herring we could eat. ) and sank the bucket onthe end o-f a line to rescue the whole lost booty.

17

Later, back in our beloved batchelor quarters imediatetyabove the station, ue gathered to honouf Faddyrs memory,To our credit, there was a monentsr hesitat ion aboutdr ink ing a dead man's beer , but i t d idnr t last long-

Ite felt that Paddy would have understood.

Up to now, especia l ly tn th islast year , par t ic ipat ion and help has been very poor . - Thesemeet ings and events are to d iscuss what your ch l ld is achiev ingat school , h ls needs for addi t ional readlng mater ia l , computerequipment, playground and gym'material and of immediate conclrn -swimming lessons, not prov ide by the school d ls t r ic t and toass is t in these needs. I f we cease to funct lon as a parent-teacher group, because of poor at tendance and ass is tanc i , yourchi ld wi l l do wi thout these th ings unless you wish to pror iaethem yourselves.

The book was compi led f rom the copius records and le t tersle f t by Mack, cover ing h is ent i re l l fe . Mr, Mackle presents th lsma te r ia l i n an ex t reme ly we l l -w r l t t enn i n re res t l ng fash ion .

Accompanying the text are 7E p lates: p lc tures of h , lack \ ry i thdead bears, eougar$, deer , even a juveni le ba ld eagle.
