Billy Bowron is lucky to get job like that as he will get a chance to get a little bit ahead of the game. Bear Lake is apparently going to see some hunters this fall. Well I sure hope they are successfull [sic]. What wages are they paying in Barkerville now. Times are pretty good on the Coast here now. Austrians + [sic] Bullhunks appear to have com-mand of the logging camps etc. Thank God! The Italians have to come in soon. I'd a darn sight rather see them come in than see the 19 year old class called up. Roy must have been mistaken about the number of teeth I had pulled out when I ran in that mile race as I only had 10 pulled. However it was a crazy thing to do anyhow + [sic] I never knew what chances I was taking or I never would have run. Glad to hear you are getting your Quartz opened up so good + Sincerely Wish [sic] you can make a sale of it
