Historical notes LANGLEY INDIAN HUNTING GROUND 100 YEARS A GO It was nearly 50 years after the first white man ever set foot in What is today the Fraser Valley, that a group of settlers decided to band together and form the municipality of Langley. The year was 1873 and as yet there weren't too, mairy families living in the virgin territory. The new district had been covered with heavy' cedar and Douglas fir forests less than half ,a century before but a heavy forest fife of unknown origin Sometime in the 1850*s or '60's had decimated the evergreens, and brush consisting mainly of light alder and birch vegetation had shot up. Trails wound their way through the dense foliage and a traveller had better bring a guide to find his way through the wilderness. Wildlife was still abundant with only a miniscule part of the district clearedandbrought under cultivation. Langley had grown from the Hudson's Bay Company trading post at Fort Langley and slowly farmland was created, first in the Salmon River flats and the Milner Valley along the early McMillan Portage between the Nico- mekl and Salmon Rivers. Bears, cougars, deer and even moose roamed the forests. Beaver, salmon and trout lived in the many streams winding their way through the forests. But only the occasional Indian hunter br trapper could be encountered in the shadowy forest glades. The native people preferred to live at the coast with only a few tribes choosing the proximity to the white man. The Kwantlen and Katzie tribes of the Stalo family had chosen to live under the protection of the white man's fort. In the daytime they traded their salmon and beaver pelts at thepost but at night they were-expelled to their own villages' outside Ihe palisades. The Stales or the river people, making up the tribes from the delta of the Fraser as far inland as to the later built Fort Hope and Yale-belonged to the Halkomelem group of the Coast Salish Indians. ' Fort Langley, being the first trading poit on the coast of New Caledonia (British Columbia) had experienced a few glorious decades but the HBC peat's fortunes waned when the American side-wheel steamer "Surprise" fulfilled the promise to her name by proving Continued on page 3 ____ THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1973 mm^—m^—m-immmm—mtmmm^—mmmimmmmmmm—mtamml^i^——m—mm—»tm0——a—mmm »ii!«; Eleven lovely lasses Hopeful candidates for the upcoming Aldergrove Rose Queen contest are left to right, front row Laurie McDonald (Miss OFI Credit Union), Cheryl Towers (Miss Alder Inn Hotel), centre row Railine Fred- erickson (Miss Aldergrove 5 cents - $1 Store), Colleen McMath (Miss Bradner Community Club), Darlene Lundeberg (Miss Jones Boy Boutique), Christine Kramer (Miss Williams Machine Shop), back row Betty Arnold (Miss Bradner Bulb Growers), Cindy Sutherland (Miss Jan's Ladies Wear), Jean Clark (Miss Aldergrove Star), Leslie Lam- brecht (Miss AldergroveSecon- dary School Students' Council) and Colleen Stadnyk (Miss Aldergrove and District Chamber of Commerce).

The fate of the fort was sealed, even though the same year the Fort at Langley experienced the glory of - for a very short period of time - nominally being the capitol of the new Crown Colony of British Columbia, Hudson's. Bay Company had lost interest in the Fort because of sharply declining profits. In the 70»s it was described as a "silent wilderness" and in 1896 it was finally abandoned. The buildings fell into disrepair. On April 26,1873 the district of the Township of Langley was incorporated .and James MacWe elected the first reeve. Little is known about this gentleman or the people who succeeded him in office, although a story goes of an early reeve (or mayor, as he would be called today) who must have been as wild as many of the gold- miners that roamed the province in those days. Perhaps he was one. Anyhow, the un- named gentleman was run out Mount Baker in- active for 95 years Mount Baker, visible on clear days from Langley and most parts of the Lower Mainland, is 10,750 feet high and situated southeast of Sumas in Washington State.

When he hurriedly left office it was found that the books of the municipality had been juggled.

Philip Jackman, a sapper who had received a Royal grant of land in Aldergrove and whose family still resides in the district, was next. He served as reeve of Langley between 1895 and'97.

Noel Booth, whons still living in Brookswood area succeeded Poppy in 1933 and held the office for two years till 1935 and again from, 1946 to 47. He was later a councillor (or alderman) on Langley district council for many years. Alex C. Hope, a resident of Fort Langley and later Conservative MLA for the district, was reeve between 1936 and 1945. The late Thomas Reid served between 1948 to 49 and was followed by George W.

Also deeply honored, since it moves The Star into a different category-than our usual image. We have been allowed to join the Establishment Press and have bees slated for extermination along with the long time honored publications of Langley City and Cloverdale. The word was out in trade circles a couple of months ago that these two weekly community papers were to be knock-. ed off like ducks in a shooting gallery - and now we have been added to the list. Incidentally the two threatenedpub- ' lications are still doing very well, thank you. And as far as The Star, is concerned, we shudder. But maybe I can add that it's been tried before. By better papers! Looking) back, and looking ahead Langley, British Columbia, willbelOOyearsoldtomorrow. Not a very sedate-age, yet if you try to place'yourself in the position of one of those early men of the district you wonder if they knew what it would be like in 1973. Maybe even less than we today know about them or what we think Langley will be like in 2073. On April 26, 1873 the Corporation of the Township of Langley received its charter and what was Langley really like? A place inhabited by a few hardy men, a very few opportunists in the real sense of the word (they'd gone else where), and a place covered with forest land where the am- . bitious literally had to carve ,his future out of a hostile environment. It was long before Edison, Alexander Graham Bell and the Wright Brothers and even decades before the 'iron horse' would find its way into the wilderness district. Farmers they were, solid men of the soil, and determined to make a great future for their children. Hardworking men, helpsome and friendly. Would they recognize Langley today? Hardly. But with a little time for adjustment they might decide that it wasn't really too bad at all, and perhaps even nod their approval. We think they left us a great heritage.

On February 23,1963 a small but select group of ex-soldiers from Langley and Matsqui districts met in the old Vasa Hall on Fraser Highway In Aldergrove, and the first executive for the new branch was select. ed. An old-time Aldergrove re- sident and former postmaster in this small Fraser Valley community, George McDonald was named honorary president. George had served in both World Wars. Making up the list of officers were Len McNernie, president; Joe Provost, vice president; Robert "Blair, 2nd vice president; William Brown, secretary-treasurer, and Bob Crawford, sergeant - at- arms. Executive directors were Charlie Brown, Cecil Cave, Curly Currell, Jack Legault, Lloyd Mcintosh, 'Slim' Sorensen, Tom Stephens, Norm Williams, Jim Arcand and George Wade. Alvin Fast was chosen as a service officer to look after the members' welfare, a job he has looked after ever since. Jake Wall was another of the originators. George McDonald, a veteran of both World Wars was'named first Honorary President of Aldergrove Branch 265 of the Royal Canadian Legion. Maggie Klick was elected president of the Ladies Auxiliary, and she was assisted by Dot- McNernie, vice-president and Julie Crawford, secretary-treasurer. The first executive meeting was held on Tuesday, March 5, also in the Vasa Hall. The branch received its charter on March 20. From the very beginning the Aldergrove Legionnaires dreamed about a hall of their own and early in the history of the branch a plot of land also located on the north side of Fraser Highway but further west of town, was acquired. A cenotaph was erected on this land and flrstservedtheLegion members for me Remembrance Day ceremonies on November 11,1964. The dream of the hall persisted, and the membership grew steadily. Plans for a Legion building in Aldergrove Were drawn up and much effort put into the realization of this early vision. The plans foundered. StUl, it was up, up for 217 members today by Fred Zaharia ^ Reeve Oater Mayor) Bill Poppy unveils cenotaph in Aldergrove on Remembrance Day,-1964. ■■ the new branch, with a continuing increase in membership. Every year the Remembrance Day parade went from downtown Aldergrove along Jack- man Road to the church service and from there along Fraser Highway to the cenotaph where dead comrades were remembered in silence and the Last Post sounded. And then the inarch back to town. The branch also held its meetings and socials, dances and the odd bingo in their temporary quarters in an Aldergrove office building which now houses a real estate concern. Then came 1968 and things again started to move with fantastic speed. The next great milestone in the branch's 10- year-old history came on Oct. 18, 1969 when the dream became reality, and eyes shone as Aldergrove Legionnaires met for the first time in their new hall behind the cenotaph. This was the official opening night and after tile appropriate words of congratulations and well wishes from invited zone commanders, local officials, specially invited guests and branch padre, the members celebrated. Now the masters in their own house, the Legion and Auxiliary were really able to get things moving, and the Legion sponsored events became, well, legion. When the hall wasn't used by the members themselves, which wasn't often, it was rented put. But most of the time either the branch or its auxiliary had something going. More socials, more dances, more bingos.and catered events by the energetic ladies. Money was raised through lotteries, and various charities in the district were the recipients of large cheques from the Ladies Auxiliary to Branch 265. But money was also set aside. So much in fact, and so fast that on December 3,1972, when the building was only three years old, a mortgage burning ceremony took place. Albert Wel- . don, a World War I veteran . struck a match and the $40,000 mortgage was destroyed. It had been paid off. Now the Aldergrove Legionnaires are talking about building on to the hall. But this time they are in no hurry. A lounge will eventually be added on to one side of the building which was originally constructed to facilitate this. A caretaker will be hired and the Legion Hall will be open throughout the week. And the whole thing will be debt free. The Legion is made up of sports-ond community-minded people and the members will continue to raise funds to pro- The regular general meeting of Branch 265 Royal Canadian. Legion Aldergrove was held at regular time 8 p.m. Thursday Apr. 19th. The membership now stands at 163 regular - 53 fraternal and 1 honorary.

All vets are welcome. $500 has been given to community sport - $20 to Otter school and $52 to King elementary school for slides. The building extension has now progressed to block stage and when these walls are up volunteers will be needed for roof etc. A motion was passed to rent one hour of ice time in the Aldergrove Arena from September on for elementary school, Sunday school and other young children in the area. The hour of 8-9 a.m. Saturday was chosen and selection of children will probably be through free tickets passed out by teachers. If on a merit basis this gives the Sunday school kids an edge. It was decided to liberate, buy or borrow an anchor, prop and replica of a cannon to mount around the Cenotaph. A medal display case will, be built to exhibit medals now being donated and any others that can be obtained. PJP.S. total attendance at meeting was only 21.

The writer asks why it is necessary to re-zone outlying land to a higher use when there is more suitably located land already zonedas required.This is only oneaspectof thegreater land problem which the provincial government has been monkeying with in its Bill 42, and which will continue to cause grave social problems until the only just and logical solution is applied. Aldergrove has the universal problem of land favorably located lying idle while land- users must take up land more remote and therefore less suitable for their purpose. The reason as always, is that more favorable areas are not for sale, or the asking price is too high to allow the prospective user a reasonable return on his labor and investment. The individual who has to occupy a less favorable site because of the lower price, is not able to work as efficiently as he might, and the community is penalized too as the situation is repeated, leaving large gaps and under-used areas in the parts most suitable for business. In this way the area to be served by the municipal council is extended unnecessarily. Extension means excessive cost and inefficiency, and so the problem of high taxes and inadequate public services is bound up with that of high priced land. The buying ana selling of land contrary to the dictates Of the Christian religion and contrary to the dictates of reason too, is an action that is fast leading to the downfall of this country. Land is not property to be bought and sold like a house. People build houses, but people do not make the land. Land is not property like a car, for a car needs constant maintenance, land does not. Land is not property like the food we eat Very shortly articles of food will have rotted away, but the land will always exist. Otter District Formers' Institote Owner - Member owned.

Speculators, ignorant of the social harm that the buying and selling of land generates, have run up the price of lots in Aldergrove until people must pay $8,000 for a homesite that cost nothing to produce. In a young family, both husband and wife must go out to work in order to pay this criminal demand. Young childrenlosingthe benefit of mother's presence and affection will likely grow up with all kinds of emotional aberrations, an intensification of today's juvenile problems. How long will it be before speculators realize that anything they may gain from the sale of land must be lost by whoever buys? How long must older people continue to penalize the younger generation, including their own offspring? Everyone is a land-user and has to pay the ransom sooner or later. Anyone who has a desire to see the future generations grow up free and happy must be against the buying and selling of land as though it were property. Property is obtainedby labor. Whatever a person's labor produces is his property. Land, being no-one's labor-product can belong to no-one. All we can expect is security of tenure to enjoy exclusive use, and this necessitates that we compensate those who do not have our privilege by paying a rent for our sites into public funds. Since the rent is a measure of the advantages of the site, this arrangement puts everyone on an equal footing, ensuring that those who wish to use land can occupy it without having to pay a cent to any other private individual, while those who occupy more than they can use will have to relinquish the surplus in favor of those who can. So we have a solution to problems of zoning, of leapfrog development, and of inadequate social services bought at exorbitant cost. Yours sincerely, Ernie Bryan, 25805 Fraser Hwy., Aldergrove. View from Victoria Clear view of choices Well...it's all over! The longest legislative session in more than fifty years, ground to a halt last week with a mind-boggling % bills passing through the legislative mill. Many people expressed considerable surprise at the sheer volume of legislation put forward — especially since it is virtually certain that we will be back in the fall for a second session. Mixed in with some of the good social measures passed by the new government were a number of Bills that proved, without a doubt that this new government headed by <«B.C.'s Happy Socialist" is far more radical than its counterpart in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The Socialist direction for the future was certainly clearly displayed and that may prove to be good for British Columbia, because despite the political posturing, the people of the province now have a clear view of their choices. Much of that direction was displayed in a simple Utile adjustment to the B.C. Revenue Actual- lowing the government to invest in the Capital stock of any corporation anywhere. From that base, the government built its foundation of incredible intrusion into the private sector, and an almost gleeful obsession to fiddle around in the market placer Newell Morrison (Social Credit MLA for. Victoria) put it well when he suggested that Premier Barrett is a frustrated monopoly player — but that he is playing with the taxpayers money. At airy rate, starting with the Revenue Act, here are the other bills which could lead to financial chaos. : The Insurance Corporation by Bob McClelland, MLA of British Columbia Act, not only allows the government to enter all forms of insurance and provides for the take-over of the insurance industry - it also allows another source of. funds for investment in potentially high-risk ventures. - Amendments to the Pension Acts of teachers, civil servants, municipal employees, and college professors once again free the government, to "take a flyer" in common shares of any company, inside or outside the province, without any restriction and without any guarantee. Pension funds are to be risked on the stock market. The Development Corporation of British Columbia Act, a good idea, ruined by the Socialists, once again sets up guaranteed borrowing by the government to purchase common shares, effectively endangering British Columbia's high credit rating in the name of a Socialist experiment. Taken as a package, these bills give the government a blank cheque involving hundreds of millions of dollars to take unprecedented flyers in the business world. Premier Barrett has said that he has no intention of getting involved with "losers". But so far, he has invested our money in nothing else — Colcel and Ocean Falls. Coupled with a number of bills that point to an effective take-over of the Resource industry in B.C. (The Mineral Act, The Mineral Land Tax Act, The Energy Act, The two forest industry takeovers, and to some extend The Land Com- : mission Act, and more to come) the just-concluded session and" , its resultant bills can! be con-f sidered as a master plan for a ; program of total state socialism in British Columbia. Having said all this, I must once again thank the people of this constituency for giving me the opportunity of serving. I am looking forward to the next session and a summer of com-' mittee work looking into the problems of health care delivery and health care costs in our wonderful province.

Governor James Douglas administered an oath of office to Matthew Baillie Begbie, commissioning him as judge of British Columbia. Then Douglas took an oath as governor. A detachment of Royal Engineers was sent to Fort Langley and began construction of the B.C. capital at the site of old Fort Langley, or Derby, two miles downstream from the existing fort. In January 1859 the Derby site was declared unsuitable as a capital and it was decided to build it where New Westminster now stands.

The year was 1827, a year when the officers of the H.B.C. embarked on a new and bold policy to take and hold the rich fur-bearing lands for King and Company. Already alarmed by the cove- tons eyes the UJ3. was casting on the basin of the Columbia, the company decided that one day they would be forced out of the area by a combination of treaty, arms and American settlers. Indians unfriendly The site of the fort, 35 miles from the mouth of the Fraser, had been discovered only three years earlier by chief factor James McMillan who led an exploration party north from the company post of Fort Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia. McMillan and the work party returned to the site aboard the schooner Cadboro and the work began July 30. The Indians fired some of the surrounding bushland in an effort to drive the invaders away. As the years passed, it became increasingly apparent that Fort Langley was not ideally located. It was difficult to land ashore, the. ground was marshy and only about 15 acres was suitable for agriculture. It was decided to move the fort a few miles upstream to its present site. By 1840, under the direction of the energetic James Yale, a grand fort had been erected. Then disaster struck. On the night of April 11, fire flared in the blacksmith shop. Within minutes the fort was ablaze. By February 1841 a finer and bigger fori had been built on' the ruins of the old. It was as fireproof as one could make it with many conveniences not known in other parts. Fort moved For several years, for some reason, the fierce Euclataws of the Kwakiutl ethnic group from the northern Johnstone Strait had been determined to drive the white men out. In 1837, they massed their re- sources for a great attack. Dozens of canoes each carrying 20 warriors swept up a- gainst the Fraser's flood. They arrived opposite the fort in the afternoon and waited for dusk. Their very presence drove the Kwantien and Katzie Indians into the woods, up the Kanaka Creek. At dusk the KwaktaUs attacked, according to Indian fashion. Straight into the guns they drove their canoes, whooping and yelling. Terrible carnage The carnage was terrible, canoes were blasted from the water. Those that weren't killed or wounded splashed toward shore. There they were met by their old enemies, the . Coast Salish people, and butchered. The river Ib said to have run red with blood. Hundreds of the much feared Euclataws perished and the tribe's strength was broken forever. In 1858, the tide of civilization washed over the peaceful fort. Langley lay in the path of the gold rush of thousands of miners and it was the place to buy vital goods for the perilous route ahead. It was a place to hear the latest news from upstream. It was also a refuge from the hostile Indians that waited ahead. 190 • ANNUAL FUELCOST* FOR AN AVERAGE YEAR 180 170 _^ 160 GAS —- 150 OTI HERE JEL I ■M warn - 140 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 'Buuon<ccepiealufnK<ellicienci«l0'>iysicali200n It doum Natural Gas.

Quiet but determinedthey walked out into the clearing which stretched as far as you could see in an easterly andwesterly direction. They didn't speak and you couldn't hear their footsteps on the wet meadow. Like a ghost train they glided along. As the party proceeded the bullfrogs In the nearby swamp and Ihe crickets In the meadow ceased their melodious music but only for a short moment before resuming like nothing had happened. Two deer grazing In the meadow caught the scent of the men and In an unhurried trot disappeared into the dense bush where the small creek came out of the dark shadows. The men stopped and gathered around the leader, a tall, gaunt-faced man. "Where is it, John?" one of the young men asked, and the one called John Instead of answering just held out his arm and pointed in a southerly direction. The other men nodded, and without any further talk they disappeared back into the woods from whence they had come. A few minutes later they gathered once more in the darkclear- ing, this time dragging cedar rails along the ground. One of the men held up an oil lamp. "Are we all here now?" asked Johan Peter Swanson. "My friends on the other side of the border are waiting for us." He talked In a hushed voice. "There, Silas lay your rails across the swamp right here. Get Robert to help you." And once more silence, this time only broken by the soft noise of tree trunks being sucked down In the mire. The men worked intensely for about two hours pilingcedar logs upon cedar logs and finally the big Swede motioned them ahead. They crossed the international boundary just four miles south of Jackman's Corner and about a mile from Students at North Otter elementary school last week enjoyed performance of members from the Barkerville Theatre Royal troupe. The performers came on special invitation from teacher Russ Wallace, an old friend. 'They'll fix you there' CO TO LANGLEY Langley didn't exactly have a good name a hundred years ' ago, according to an -early chronicler. -'. . The Rev. Dr. A .Dunn, who was a; newcomer to Fort Langley in the early 1870's reports how he was once advised by a stage driver in New Westminster, that "Langley, why that is a bad place to live In. When the boys at Maxle's Saloon get to wrangling with each other over their drinks, instead of saying, go: to the bad place, they say go to Langley, .they'll fix you there." Apparently, the district's bad reputation stemmed from wild by Rudy Langmann the border crossing at Patricia. The year was 1896 and the late summer's day had been a real scorcher. The approaching night, however, was pleasant for the work that lay a- head of the eleven Aldergrove friends and neighbors. A light breeze wafted across the low land north of Lynden in What- com County. . • The men once more formed into a single file and the train slid across a field to a lonely American farmhouse a few hundred yards south of the international boundary. For some years already customs officers had checked the travellers passing across the boundary. Oh the Canadian side Bill Vanetta was the customs officer and travellers had to check In with him at his office-home near Shortreed's Corner. Vanetta had first been unofficial customs officer before being commissioned to the job by decree from Ottawa in 1887. The official American customs, was at Fort Town- Left to right, Russ, Tlnk (the 'hoofer'), Judy (the song bird of the goldfields), Franklin (Hanging Judge Begbie), and regional principal Rick Buck. Musical 'professor' Norman was also part of troupe. shenanigans at the early Fort Langley during the1858 gold rush when rough-and-tumble characters from all over the world passed through the Fort on their way to the Fraser goldfields. ; The early local politics also gave rise to some head-shaking among residents of neighboring municipalities. During the. middle and later part of the 1870*s two bitterly opposing parties fought for the control of the Infant district, and the fighting culminated with a reeve (or mayor) being run out of the district in disgrace in 1877 after being found guilty of 'fraud;'' A light shone through the window in the small, but neat farmhouse and Johan Swanson walked up to the door, knocked and entered. Inside the room another 15 men were gathered most of them standing around a small table and a few handmade chairs. "We've been waiting for you, Johan," a stout looking farmer said. A woman, busy brewing coffee at a hot burning stove, smiled at the newcomers. "I don't think we'll have time for a cup of your coffee tonight, Sophie," said Johan. "We . have work ahead of us." The American farmer nodded agreement, and the men all got to their feet- Through the now total darkness moved the enlarged army of men. "It's all ready, Jim," said Johan, and then- not another word was spoken.: Quietly the 26 men moved out Into a field near the U.S.Canadian border where they were joined by another thirteen dark shadows and all of a sudden a large piece of farm machinery loomed in pitch black silhouette in front of them. And like true soldiers every one of the men knew what his job was to be. They started pulling and pushing the huge monstrosity toward the bog which the elevenCanadians had crossed' on their cedar rails about half an hour earlier. The noise now only being the creaking of the wheels on the large steam threshing machine, a bit of huffing and puffing: and the occasional mumbled swearword. ■ The sun was casting its first rays across the mountains in the east when the men finally stopped. They had pulled the large machine across the quagmire on the wooden rails and onto Canadian territory and hidden it away alongside the trail that led to Jackman's Corner. They sat down and chatted for a while and for the first time laughter was heard. Then the American farmers and Indian braves bade farewell and left for their homeland the way they had come. The Canadians left In the opposite direction for their homes at Alder Grove and a much needed rest. '- Later that Sunday afternoon Johan Swanson came back with a team of oxen to retrieve his expensive machine and pull it back to the homestead on the Yale Wagon Trail. He felt good. The Stars and Stripes which had been painted all over his thresher he scratched away before he hitched up his team. Young Bill had come along this time and his father was whistling while the thrasher slowly bumped along the narrow, pot- holed trail. Johan had bought the 10 horsepower 'Minnesota Chief a few months earlier in Canada for $300. It had been . shipped out from Hamilton, Ontario, and all the savings of the small pioneer family had been Invested in Ihe venture. It had paid off, it was the first steam-powered thrasher in the lower mainland and Johan had been kept busy doing custom work for farmers In Langley, Surrey and Delta, moving the machine from farm to farm with his team of oxen. And then his friends and former neighbors from south of the 49th parallel had asked him to do their work as well. He'd agreed when they promised to clear the paper workatthecus- toms in Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula. But somehow, somebody had slipped up. Only johan didn't know. ' It had taken him and his older son Charles about two weeks to do all the American fields around the town of Lynden and the season was just about over when the sheriff caught up with the Aldergrove entrepreneur. He appeared one day at a farm just south . of the Canadian border, claimed the machine in the name of the UJS. of A. and painted Old Glory in three or four prominent places on the steam thrasher. It was revealed that no arrangements had been made at the far-off port-of-entry, and furthermore, that an American plying the same trade had heard of the Canadian ''pirate'', and jealously had complained to the local authorities at Whatcom. The machine was to be hauled away and sold at auction in the Puget Sound Community. However, the word spread . as wildfire, and an anonymous group of farmers, small businessmen andtradesmenformed in Lynden that very same Saturday afternoon. Indians from the local band joined the group and those were the men Johan and his neighbors had met that dark night south of the border. The Washington State sheriff was fuming but nobody knew who had done the dastardly deed. Only Johan received word that he better not ever again set foot upon American soil or he would surely be arrested. The tall, powerful Swede remained in his adopted Canada. Copyright «C) The Star The foregoing short story is a chapter in a book about Early Aldergrove to be published by The Star* It Is a true event, taken, from the diary of an early Aldergrove pioneer. > The machine mentioned in the story, the first steam operated thrasher in the lower mainland, was manyyears later sold to the Forslund brothers of Langley who in turn donated it to the Fort Langley farm museum when this was opened a- tout six years ago. It can still be seen by visitors to the museum although 'Old Glory' has disappeared long ago. And, We expect, the American authorities have forgiven the Aldergrove hiU- billies. Aldergrove highschool's tribute to Langley's birthday took the form of two plays, the first being a symbolic one-acier on . school life today, and the second written by staff members and directed by drama teacher Mrs. Diane Rodgers. This was a school scene as itwas Imagined it would have beet, one hundred years ago when the first school was introduced in Aldergrove. Taking part in the modern symbolic skit wereDeniseHlll, Murray Beggs, Linda Christensen, Janice Behman, Barbara Jackson, Chris Ruginis, Maureen Quinn, Leslie Lambrecht and Jane Puis.

LANGLEY '100' by Mr. Closkey Langley municipal employee Twice times fifty years ago We came to these Fraser shores, And hacked out mere existence With sweat and endless chores. The cedars fell to make our roofs, , The hemlocks for our walls, And men began to build their homes In this land where Nature calls. And as time passed our set- tiers learned The land was rich; And so... They set aside the axe and saw And took up plow and hoe. They traded with the Natives Their cloth and metal goods. For knowledge of the salmon, The Wildlife and the woods. Then teachers; tradesmen, all did come To this community, They saw in our expansion Ah opportunity To help us mold a way of life With Justice, love and toil, They stayed to build a future, Because they loved this soil. Now, airplanes growl across the sky, And cars speed everywhere. The lights of Langley City - Glow like a signal flare. YesI We've passed the time of struggle, But remember when life was a test, And all those who settled our Valley That God has surely blest! Langley by TinaSebert Grade 5 There is a place Where the meadows are green The people are friendly And the air is still clean There may be more places More famous maybe But I prefer Langley, It's my hometown, you see? A POEM ABOUT LANGLEY byLoriWarawa- Grade 5 Langley is a place of horses and fun And each day is filled with the big yellow sun. The trees are big and mysterious too The flowers, very pretty, and the sky is blue I love living in Langley, I do and I will Always remember my sweet home town, Langley. LANGLEY by Yvonne Yurek Langley is a nice place to live, There are so many things it will give, Spring summer winter fall, Langley has action for them ail Theatres in the nighttime Bowling in the day time. No matter what you want to do, there's always something in Langley to satisfy you. Replica of old Fort was prominently displayed at 1973 Bradner spring flower show. Fort Langley was the first Hudsons Bay settlement on the lower mainland in New Caledonia (British Columbia) and the town later, in 1873 became the seat of the first municipal government of Langley.

The tiny fish also provided an oil which was used as butter. The oolichan oil, packed into' great cedar bark baskets, also provided the coast Indians with a very valuable trade article with their cousins living in the interior. In the Fraser River, one of the main oolichan runs, the giant sturgeon rise slowly out of their deep holes in the river bottom to gorge themselves. Many hundred of tons of the small oily fish are still caught by both white and Indian fishermen when the shoals come up the river during the month of April. The Indians still extract the oil, but nobody any longer dry the fish, run a wick through the body and use them as light and heat.

Some speculators, realizing that the governor would do anything he could to further his dream, squatted on the land of the nearby Derby townsite. In a rage Douglas seized the surrounding land. But Old Fort Langley was never to play a vital role. Officers of the Royal Engineers studies the location of the land and declared it indefensible. This was an important decision in those days as the young colony was overrun by American miners and many a hothead was talking of annexation. British Columbia also looked very attractive to many UJS. government officials. Reluctantly, Douglas agreed with Col. Richard C. Moody's recommendation to shift the capital to the Royal City, New Westminster and Fort Langley's days were numbered. Eventually the fort was abandoned and the town of Fort Lang ley grew up on the outskirts. District pioneers and historians had long advocated the restoration of the fort. In 1958 the Historical Sites branch of the federal government spent about $300,000 to restore part of the old fort and during the past 15 years many more improvements have been made to build the museum complex to almost its original lay out. Today Fort Langley also has a municipal museum and a farm implement museum, and a replica of the SJ3. Beaver, an early sidewheeler to ply the Fraser River, will soon be added to the museum complex. Langley district council last year purchased the vesselfrom Crown Assets, and a docking facility will be constructed at Fort Langley to provide mooring for the ship. TO EARLY INDIANS Golden Ears harbinger of salmon run Long before the whiteman came to the Pacific Northwest the Indians had a special sign which told them that shoals of salmon were beginning their struggling journey uptheStahlo Prole (Eraser River) to their spawning grounds. The Coast Indians would look to the east and if the sharp twin peaks of T'Lagunna (Golden Ears Mountain) north of Langley were clearly outlined against the sky, then they knew it was time to move inland from their villages. Golden Ears Mountain is sharply outlined in the still, quiet summer air, and that*s the time the salmon surge up river. Several villages of the Coast Salish people paddled up the river to where it narrowed and where the fishing was best The fat salmon caught by the thousands were smoked or dried for winter, but the Indians fishing never made a mark in their numbers for the Stahlo Prole was the world's greatest salmon stream. When the Hudson's Bay Company established a fort atSnug- amish 0?ort Langley) it was quick to take advantage of this annual bonanza, hi 1829, two years after the fort was built the company's records show that 7,544 salmon were purchased for the fantastic low price of L13 17s 2d in trade goods. „ Fort Langley was soon supplying the southern forts on the Columbia with smoked salmon and an average of 2,000 barrels were exported annually, mainly to the Hawaiian Islands. At many Hudson's Bay Company forts salmon were the main diet of the traders and their journals show today the great distaste they developed for fish. At the same time the chroniclers recorded how they often lived on a starvation diet in the summer while waiting for the spawning salmon to arrive. James Symes first attempted to preserve salmon in hermetically sealed cans in 1867. It was an experiment but the results were termed excellent. Alexander Loggie Company near New Westminster launched the first commercial cannery in 1870 and 12 years later there were 13 factories in operation producing 250,000 cases of 48 one-pound cans. 853-6615 Western It English Riding Equipment & Tack Lee It Levis Jeans Check andcompareour complete line of Stubben saddles.

Star honored by Justice Department The Star has been put in league with famed mobster Al Capone. Last Thursday afternoon this paper was fined in municipal court for failure to remit tax deductions to the federal infernal revenue people on time. •Scarface Al', head of the American Syndicate during the tumultous twenties was convicted in 1931 of income tax evasion and served time in prison for deliberately "forgetting" to remit millions of dollars of tax money rather than for his personal involvement in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Recently a summons was served on co-publisher Inge Langmann to appear in Langley provincial court and answer to a charge and be dealt with according to the law on the grave offense of the grand sum of $58.28 having been paid late to the federal department. At the time of the summons the minor amount had already been remitted about three months earlier, and just a few weeks after the deadline. Last week Mrs. Langmann explained in court. that the money had been paid long ago, that no tax deductions were presently due, and, that in fact an overpayment to the department had recently been made. She also told the Court that due to many commitments as part owner of a small business, she didn't always have the time to keep the books up to date from day today. The court explained that the federal justice department had taken all this into due consideration and the minimum fine for the offense of $200 was imposed. | At the time of Mrs. Lang- marm's court appearance, Judge Matthew Baillie Begbie (alias Franklin Johnson of the Bar- kerville Theatre Royal) was holding 'court' at North Otter elementary school. "I might have made poor law during my life," the 'Hanging Judge' said, giving examples of his emotional compassion with the underdog,in British Columbia of a hundred years ago, "but it was damn good justice."

JIM'S Excavating Backhoe Work Ditching & Septictanks 856-2479 Education, too MILL RATE UP At a special meeting held at noon Tuesday the Langley school board set the null rate for 1973. Total operating cost for 1973 - will amount to $7,984,330.00 which includes debt repayment and Langley's share of the Douglas College operation. This will mean an increase in the mill rate of 2.53 from 1972. Total mill rate will be 37.18. In actuality it has brought the school mill rate back up to the 1971 rate when it was 37.30. The reason for the drop in 1972 to 34.65 was the restrictions enforced,by , the former SoCredgovernment, which left school boards with a minimal operation budget and a lot of necessary facilities were cut out. There are some chances of a school referendum, but till date there is no certainly as to when, only that it will involve additional facilities to most all schools in Langley school district number 35. Langley hospital accredited Langley 'Memorial Hospital has again been awarded full accreditation status following a recent survey by officials of the Canadian Council on Hospital Accreditation. "The certificate of accreditation is a matter of satisfaction and fulfillment but Its first importance is evidence and assurance to the community of successful efforts to offer a high quality of service and - an optimum quality of care," a hospital spokesman says. It demonstrates that the whole hospital staff have accepted outside appraisal and have substantially met or exceeded standards which have national and international approval, saysStu Chapman, hospital administrator.

River from Fort Langley to Fort Hope was a river-wise - Indian who calledhimself Speel- set. In the early days of the Eraser River gold rush, It was considered too dangerous to navigate the river upstream from Fort Langley. But as profits would be fantastic, up to $35 a ton, the skipper of the small UJS. steamer Surprise decided to attempt the tricky run. He hired Speel-set, a Kwant- len brave from Fort Langley, as pilot and the voyage was made without difficulty. When the ship returned in triumph to Fort Langley, Speel-set "disappeared". Instead of a Langley Indian, he bore the new name Captain John. His pockets were heavy with 20 shining $5 pieces and he wore a seaman's uniform of cloth and bright brass buttons, a panama hat, and polished shoes. Never again would "Captain John" wear a blanket. utes, but for four hours. The only rest a rider will be able to get will be a short pit stop to get more gas, a drink, or do minor repairs to his bike; but there again speed is of importance as many a race has been won or lost In the pits. - So for tops in action come on to Jackman Road on Sunday and cheer for your favorite.

This year the starring and finishing point is Aldergrove sen* lor secondary high school grounds, on 29th Avenue. The route takes you over trails and country roads on a 14-mile tour down Jackman Rd. to Boundary Rd. by the UJS. border up County Line to 8th Ave., west to Otter and north on Otter to 24th Ave. Then the route leads you east back to Bellingham Highway to 29th Avenue again and back to the school. Starting time is between 10 and 12:30 in the morning, and for those who make it there will be a special crest awarded this year commemorating the Langley Municipality's 100th Birthday. The recreation commission have sent an invitation to Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau to be present at the finishing line to give out the crests, he will be In B.C. In that per- lod, returning from his week's stay in Hawaii. No answer has been received yet from the Prime Minister. The Recreation Commission advises you to wear sturdy footwear, no sandals or thongs. There will be eightcheckpoints throughout the route, and several concession stands on the route as well. There are no entry fees or age limit, and trophies will be awarded to the schools with the largest number of participating students. Get ready for Sunday, the Walk is going ahead rain or shine, but past years' experience tells us that there is only a 50 percent chance of rain. SPORTS by Dennis Ross Goad entertainment IN BOXING, WHAT Langley boxers helped to make the evening of the 19th entertaining for the people at Haney Correctional in a well- set up card of boxing. Dwayne Driver was picked as Best Junior Boxer. He jabbed to an extremely close but fair decision over ducking, weaving and counterpunching -John Stromasten. Even closer was the contest between Jordan Wade and Garry Williams. Garry came on strong from the first bell and looked like he had a TKO set up. Jordan, though, would have none of it. He counter- punched and hooked his way out of danger, losing on a split decision. ^ * . Garry Mansel had his win over Jay Dowal courtesy of the timekeeper. Dowal had won the first two rounds narrowly only to fall behind when BOWLING AT ALDER LANES by Helen Drew ? Monday ladies Headers won the Monday ladies league with 204% points, Dingbats took the team high triple with 3625 and the Lucky Loggers won the team high single with 1324. Irene Salloway took the individual high triple with 871 and the high single with 342, as well as the high average of 211. Wednesday ladies Murphy and Wakefield won the Wednesday ladles league with 209 points, and also took the team high single with 1347. Nobodies' won the team high triple with 3596. Leona Albertson won the individual high triple with 852 and also took high averagewith 203. Helen Kieth won the high single with 338. Mansel came out with a vicious flurry, carrying the third heavily on all cards; but one second before the final bell Jay struck with a thunderclap to Garry's solar plexus. He could not have carried on, and was saved by the bell. He won the split call. Light Heavy Hans Huber (Langley) forced the fight but lost a close one to George MacDonald (Haney) and Derek Austin (Langley) took two and a half rounds to stop Bill Kozak (Haney). Dennis Ross As a member of the B.C. Amateur Boxing Association in good standing (for the present at least) I received last week this rather well-written newsletter from our president. "Gentlemen, With a very successful '73 Golden Gloves Tournament concluded, as have been our other tournaments this season, we can be proud of the Skill, Devotion and Sportsmanship of all our Athletes and I Would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and' thank each of you and your Clubs for your fine achievements and cooperation.

This is good news for our country as he has now passed the first hurdle toward handling the national choice at the -Commonwealth Games in New Zealand. He Is definitely the most capable person who could . have been selected. As for : the boxers they are our best and they will do what they can, the Vancouver Sun quoted Mr. Murray Driver as predicting triumph in forty percent of the championships. .More power to them. But there is one detail which causes some concern and that is the choice of Jimmy Stevenson of Sparta in the heavyweight class. Those among us who were present at the Golden Gloves a couple of weeks past Will remember his bout with a big slab-sided American. Jimmy was dropped heavily by a murderous punch. Shaken and apparently in trouble he was allowed to continue. This time he was poleaxed. The ref could have counted to twenty, but he did not. An alert second limped into the ring and interceded. Incidentally, he hoisted the limp lad to his feet (distinct folly In the opinion of Dr. Bob Mout of Aldergrove. If minute brain haemorrhages are in progress they can only be aggravated by such treatment, but enough of that.) There used to be a rule in this game which suspended for thbiy days any boxer who was knocked out. It is to be hoped that if such regulation has been waived then James has undergone a very thorough medical examination. We wish the whole team good luck and JimSteven- son in particular.
