The former 01/0CP, 14 Wftfrne In last week's issue there apPeared a letter from Mrs, Metcalf (formerly Mtes Elva Dewar) to •her parents .from Pptsa Lake, in which site eieseribeCl the ktllin$ of a big Alaskan Brown Sear. It sheedd haYe been exPlatried that William i.e, •Metcalf, an ,engineer with the Aluminum Company of Canedewas sent to Ootse. Lake to acquire the land which would be flooded and mice a reservoir when the Neckake River was demned to flow west to Kitimat. They arrived at Ootsa Lake in may when there was daylight until midnight, and daWn came again at two o'clock. Elva had to send to Va.ncouver 'for curtains or shades for their two.. story log house to keep nit the light, It was mesquito and black fly peason when they arrived. The house which had only one dear had been chinked with moss which bad come outs so bad to be renewed to Prevent those insects swarming into their living quarters. The latter was rather spacious - two bedrooms upstairs attain. able by Gladder; downstairs there was /large living room with one, end partitioned off ka. an Mice., a small kitchen off the living room in which a large wood-burning range did double duty as both heater and cook stove; and another bedroom. All the water had to be carried from the lake - approximately 100 feet. The water was icy cold and soft- contained no minerals. Due to the lack of mineral content the teeth of the young folk of the district were done - ruined by decay - when they reached the age of sixteen years. Coal oil lamps were used in 11 rooms except the living room - for for which a large Coleman lamelo..s provided. The first week Mrs. Metcalf sent her sheets to Burns Lake and they were in turn sent to a laundry in Prince George. They never did come back, so She turned to the wash tub and scrub board, There were two flat irons for smoothing all laundry. Although the Metcalfs had taken a supply of tinned foods with them, fresh meat was a problem. There was moose and black bear meat for variety, but with no refrigeration of any kind, and the nearest butcher being at Burns Lake (50 miles distant, including 17 miles by ferry) shopping for "the Sunday roast" was difficult. Mrs. Metcalf found neighbours wonderfully kind for instance their bread supply came from Jasper and was mouldy when it arrived but a neighbour, Mrs. Smokey, baked bread for them, Here the Metcalfs did their stint of pioneering. Visiting company officials took all their meals with them and often stayed over. night when there was room, They travelled by hydra plane and it was a big event when one landed on the lake outside their house, One or two helpers boarded with them until they left in October, There was five inches of snow when they left for Vancouver. The ground was not bare again until Spring. Most of the people moved to higher ground in the vicinity before the flooding. Mr. Cyril Shelford at whose ranch the big brown bear was killed, later was elected to the British Columbia Legislature to represent that riding for the Social Credit Party. Quoting from a letter to Lucy AuguSt 5, 1951, Elva wrote: "I'll write you abignewsy letter soon, Lucy, but today I've things to do in preparation for the two new company men who are due to arrive here tomorrow plus three others who, although they won't live here, will be in and out so tlfere's same planning to do." "The first offers to land owners in here go out August 10 - that is what our added staff is for so much is going on." And from William Metcalf, written the same date. "I guess Elva told you of my recent trip to Vancouver. This travelling by unscheduled transportation provided by the company and for the contractors causes unforseen delays, but fortunately mine came in the most interesting places. I left here at 6 on Saturday morning and drove to Burns Lake. Was fog-bound there until after ten; then flew to-West Tahtsa, the camp being constructed at the location where the intake end of the 25 foot- ten-mile tunnel is about to be started through the coast range. All equip• ment and materials for that operation have to be freighted the 20 mile length of Tahtsa Lake on huge steel barges (35 x 70- feet) carrying up to 140 tons, I believe, We then flew down the lake at low altitude a few hundred feet above the water to East Tahtsa at the western terminus of the new freighting road from Burns Lake. Ootsa Lake and Tahtsa are connected iee.by a 28 mile Tahtsa River. Ootsa .is ,a deep blee,peenie;lly A-J(1am •• colour while Tahtsa is the peculiar green' between emerald • and olive caused by the glacial colloidal silt with which it is fed in run-off from the surrounding glaciers and ice fields. At East Tahtsa we took on a few barge builders who had completed their assignment and were being flown back to Van- couver. We climbed sharply. This time while again traversing Tahtsa westwardly and crossed the coast range at consider. able height, Such a wintry scene with glaciers and ice fields everywhere below - and then down - down and over the lower tunnel portal camp on the Kemano River and landed at the upper end of the Gardner canal at about 12:30. Stayed there until eight in the evening when 19 of us left on a Queen Char. lotte Airlines "Cansler Goose" and were in Vancouver by 10:30. A beautiful sight flying in over the Strait of Georgia to. wards Vancouver at night. While at Kemano I went on an inspection round with one of Alcon's engineers and so saw much of the vastness of that end of the project including a ride up the new road to the mid-way tunnel addle. up Koretzky Creek in a jeep, The road rises about 2,000 feet in a mile and a half which is about a 25 percent grade (a 6 per cent is counted to be about "it" for the average highway grade.) I remained in Vancouver until Wednesday morning when the District Project Engineer was flying to Nechako. We left at 8:35 and were down at 10:40 at the camp. The 30 diversion tunnel 1,800 feet long to divert the flow of the Nechako past the damsite during dam construction is nearing the stage where the facings being worked from the up-stream and down-stream ends are about to meet. Spent the day around Nechako Camp and hitched a ride into Vanderhoof in the' evening. Stayed there Wednesday night and was lucky to catch a flight right in to Ootsa on a plane going in to pick up some of the men doing road inspection work at Ootsa, Landed right at the door at home after my thousand mile jaunt. Nice to find Jessie here and sorry they missed my landing. They were gadding up the read taking pictures. Well, just thought I'd give you a bit of a picture of what is doing. This detailed account of things constructional probably shouldn't be reprinted but thought you and your mother might be interested and there's nothing confidential about the works to date but press releases are a queer thing and I don't know much about them." Thus was started the ambitious engineering feat of tunnelling through the coast range, into which a river was diverted to generate electricity for the aluminum pots and other projects at Kitimat, as well as domestic consumption. So perfect were the plans that crews working at the east and west sides of the mountain range met exactly in the middle. Since it is almost seventeen years ago, one wonders how much of these gigantic engineering accomplishments, etc., are responsible for the commodities with which we are so 'familiar today - and take for granted! And lb this particular instance two Hayfield folk, Mrs. Metcalf' and her late husband, enjoyed a pioneering advehture. Smiles of achievement are shown on the faces of the above persons, after a trial run in a ski,. doo which they assembled themselves, Left to right are Johnny Talbot, Les Armstrong, Bradley and Tom Penhale.
