BENNETTS

Frobisher
fiasco
With
the
collapse
of
his
original
olumbia
Hivcr
plan
Premier
Dennett
developed
a
high
fever
for
empire
building
After
his
C
olumbia
blunders
he
had
to
recover
and
try
to
look
like
a
great
man
again
Obsessed
with
the
idea
of
a
vast
resources
development
and
having
no
plan
of
his
own
he
latched
on
to
a
scheme
that
was
being
shaped
up
by
the
Frobisher
Vcnturcs
interests
in
the
north
northwest
�
west
corner
of
the
province
I
his
mining
group
had
done
considerable
ex
exploration
�
ploration
in
the
remote
glacier
and
mountain
area
near
the
U
C
-Yukon
bolder
and
their
engineers
had
begun
dreaming
about
a
huge
power
metal
lurgical
and
electro
chemical
complex
It
would
use
the
water
resources
of
the
Yukon
Taku
River
and
Atlin
Lake
drainage
area
there
were
many
features
embroidered
around
the
deal
One
called
for
Canadian
access
to
sea
seaboard
�
board
through
the
American
panhandle
All
to
together
�
gether
it
looked
like
very
much
an
iffy
proposi
proposition
�
tion
Hut
Dennett
began
to
ja77
it
up
with
a
flood
of
press
statements
about
the
billion
dollar
develop
development
�
ment
he
had
in
the
bag
that
would
pioduce
vast
amounts
of
cheap
power
and
a
great
new
resources
enipne
As
usual
he
was
premature
By
August
7
195
1
he
had
announced
We
have
made
a
deal
and
270
million
will
be
spent
by

taking
it

Frobisher
-
Ventures
no
doubt
inspired
by
Alcans
great
Kitimat
development
found
they
did
not
have
quite
the
same
thing
Kitimat
was
pro
producing
�
ducing
aluminum
winch
is
packaged
power
In
other
words
it
had
use
for
a
large
block
of
power
lliey
discovered
it
would
take
a
long
time
to
find
use
for
5
million
horsepowei
in
a
necessarily
slow
development
of
other
metals
not
so
power
intensive
For
a
while
they
and
Mr
Bennett
flirted
with
the
US
Reynolds
Aluminum
inteicst
But
like
othei
old
flirts
they
could
offer
little
real
promise
lhey
tiled
to
cook
up
a
deal
where
Canadian
power
would
be
used
in
a
large
Reynolds
Aluminum
plant
to
be
built
in
the
Amei
ican
panhandle
But
since
the
power
was
not
to
be
used
in
Canada
and
would
subsidize
an
American
company
competing
with
Alcan
the
federal
government
again
turned
thumbs
down
Premier
Bennett
then
had
to
let
a
lot
of
wind
out
of
his
big
deal
Frobisher
Vcnturcs
were
forced
to
propose
a
substitute
plan
for
500000
kilowatts
of
power
a
tenth
as
big
as
the
initial
scheme
to
be
developed
nearei
to
the
B

market
on

Nass
River
Mi
Bennett
quickly
lost
interest
in
such
a
modest
venture
and
retired
to
his
tent
to
sulk
and

Mayor

this
nioiii

theie

no
point
in
goinj
I
have
no
right
to
obligate
the
city
to
provide
services
to
Cottonwood
Island
Jf
the
island
was
within
the
city
limits
it
would
be
our
respon
responsibility

Major
Dezell
said
he
has
explained
the
situation
to
the
lesidents
on
earlier
oecasions
and
tlicic
is
nothing
to
add
We
would
like
to
help
them
out
but
the
cost
would
be
out
of
this
world
He
adJed
that
the
responsi
responsibility
�
bility
for
such
a
scheme
lies
with
the
residents
the
CNR
and
the
provincial
govern
government

ment
He
pointed
out
that
the
reo
rients
want
the
overpass
at
the
point
where
they
make
a
shoit
rut
to
the
island

the
legal
crossing
is
at
the
end
of
Ottawa

The

said
the
city
will
help
with
advice
but
he
feels
that
since
the
residents
choose
to
live
on
the
islanJ
outside
the
jurisdiction
of
the
city
they
must
accept
Its
in
inconveniences
