Sasquatch? “..a wild man of gigantic stature and supernat- ural powers who is now and then to be found, roaming about in the vicinity of the Iskoot River, and the Indians are very much afraid of him... That is a description given by Dr. George W. Dowson in his Report of the Stikine in 1888. Dr. Dowson was reporting stories given him dur- ing his journey up the Stikine in 1887 - the Iskut River referred to comes into the Stikine from about 35 miles upriver from the mouth of the Stikine near Wrougell. Dr. Dowson’s report was 90 years ago. Has anyone else heard of or seen such a ‘“‘gigantic”’ man roaming the area? There have been numer- ous rumors of a “‘Sasquatch”’ in B.C.---- but how about in Cassiar Country? Anyone have anys tall, gigantic, superhuman, supernatural tales? If so, send along your stories to the Courier. When we get them (if any) all together we'll publish them in a future issue. Let’s hear from our “Abominable Snowman’ and/or ‘‘Sasquatch”’ watchers! Calder Wants Answers Citing irregularities in processing applications for Land lease, favouritism, discrepancies in infor- mation, lack of policy, inefficient surveyors, and extreme delay tactics by Land Inspectors and the lack of Minesterial reply to letters, Frank Calder, MLA-Atlin called for a complete Exec- utive Council review of the Administrative policy of the Land Division and its personnel in a February 1, 1977 letter to Minister of Environment James A. Nielsen. Calder indicated these criticisms were in- dicative...“‘of the informative criticisms ex- pressed by Messr’s R.B.Giesbrecht, Jerry David- son, J.L. Rutherford and R.G.Bond of the Atlin area’’...whose letters Calder forwarded to the Minister for action. He also asked for details of all actions in the Atlin area....‘‘As there appears to be a complete mess in Atlin, | would appreciate information on old and new subdivisions, land auction dates, all Applications for Land Lease and/or Land Purchase since December 11, 1975, with rele vant locations and maps.”’ A copy of Calder’s letter received by the Courier carried a handwritten note: “Applies throughout Northern B.C.” Any information concerning difficulties with the Land Division of the Ministry of Environ" : Southern Yukon Electronics COLOUR, BLACK & WHITE TV MAJOR APPLIANCES KELVINATOR ZENITH STEREOS C.B.

Last month, the Courier published a statement from a Watson Lake resident, and a copy of a recommendation of a Medical Board of Inquiry called by the Commissioner of the Yukon, that the license to practice medicine of Dr. Wigby of Watson Lake be revoked because of mental ill- ness. At the end of the article, the Courier ad- mitted it hadn’t followed Dr. Wigby’s case as closely as it could, and asked some questions which have been described as ’’Biased’’ and “Prejudiced”’. for Dr. Wigby. They were not biased or prejudiced. They were questions asked to try and get all the facts for our readers. They were necessary to ask to clarify the situation of Dr. Wigby. They have never been answered, publicly, to our knowledge. WHEN THE COURIER ASKS QUESTIONS IT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS BIASED. It is our way of trying to get the facts to the public. Louie Quock of Good Hope Lake has been app- ointed a fieldworker for United Native Nations (UNN), according to Ron George, VP of UNN.

They (reliable sources) say it’s the mildest winter in over 60 years. Can’t help but think we're. in for a cold February, but every warm — day that goes by brings us closer to Spring.

TOURIST INDUSTRY TALK...Our new feature «this month comes from the office of Don Ash- ley of Ft. St. John - friend and coordinator for PRAHTA (translated: Peace River-Alaska High- way Tourist Association), and for Region “H"’ in B.C.. Don spent some time with us, and the people of Cassiar Country this past summer, reviewing the tourist facilities.(What tourist facilities?) along Highway 37. Whether we like it or not, with Highway 37 improving all the time, we'll be seeing more motor homes, trailers and campers every spring, summer and fall. There’s very little wilderness left like ours, and people want to see it. Our concern should be: What services should we provide tourists that will cause the least harm to our environment, and yet contribute to the economy of the area? One thing about the tourist industry is that it provides economic in- put to an area without gobbling up non-renew- able resources. CONTACTING THE COURIER....is easier all the time. By letter: Box 100, Cassiar, B.C., VOC 1E0. By phone: 778-7627, and the office will be manned each weekday evening Monday through Thursday nights from 7:30 to 9:30 P.M.

COMMUNITY MUSEUM IN DEASE LAKE? Joe McNabb of Dease Lake received a letter from Frank Calder, MLA-Atlin, answering his inquiry and outlining steps and procedures for obtaining assistance for a Community Museum at Dease Lake. This sounds like a very worthwhile idea, for the area from Wrangell, Alaska north to Watson: Lake is loaded with historical importance. Calder suggested to McNabb that a committee be set up to get things rolling. We would like to suggest to Dease Lake that representatives from all the communities in the area be included in the committee The Courier supports the idea of an area 2 4 ee ELE DEER Gp FO OEE ment should be brought to the attention of Frank Calder, MLA-Atlin, Parliament Buildings, Victoria.
