I just spent a little time trying to figure out whether Eliza was actually responsible for naming Texada (or at least moving the name from Lasqueti Island to Texada Island), or whether Akriggs made a mistake in attributing it to Eliza. Unfortunately, as usual it is all a little complex. But if nothing else, this McDowell book I just added as a reference says Narváez is responsible for the name "Texada" appearing at all. Apparently Narváez's journal of his voyage is lost. McDowell describes his fruitless search through old archives. But there are, in addition to various maps by Eliza, Narváez, and Carrasco, there are summary reports of Narváez's voyage, written in Nootka shortly after. I'm thinking that Akriggs didn't go through as many old sources as McDowell. It's not that important, but interesting in showing another possible example of an error in Akriggs.

Great like all the ones you're creating...; but more important than showing Powell River (and Sehchelt) is showing Blubber Bay and Vananda and Gillies Bay Also labelling Lasqueti Island would be a good thing; Savary's too tiny to be seen well. Skookum1 ( talk) 18:59, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
How bout Raven Bay, Lime Kiln or Pocohantas? hien? Nice map by the way...sfs —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.81.76.183 ( talk) 01:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
IS it Van Anda or Vananda? sfs. Where is the Hydro slash, the gas pipeline and the Squamish Five?

Yup, the line was built in 1981, with the western end of the DC subsea link, at Dunsmuir Substation near Qualicum, the target of Ms. Belmas. The slash is still on texada to prove it. sfs —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.81.76.183 ( talk) 02:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
As per the redlink shown, this should be a separate article as it would ahve different cats applicable and is a history article per se. I jsut found some details at British Columbia: From the earliest times to the present, Vol. II, E.O.S. Scholefield and F.W. Howay, 1905, pp. 336-337 if someone else would care to condense what's there (I'd be too labourious and tend to crib by near-plagiarist tricks of rearranging grammar and substituting synonyms etc.... ;-).

I once read the Royal commission into the scandal. (irritating as it is on fiche.) From what I remember, de Cosmos bought land around the iron deposits on Gillies Bay in 1876 (corr. 1873). The iron was plentiful. De Cosmos was also an MLA, if not Premier at the time, so it reeked of corruption. The hundred page report investigated but found no wrong doing. The iron was used 20 years later. The account is a long cross-examination of the witnesses, how they travelled by steamer from Nanaimo, camped, staked claims and interacted with various people. sfs —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.81.76.183 ( talk) 19:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
