/.Our_wahshday.is Sunday, and it certainly Is ^bi^ wa^hlla}^ Tou see
we^have no washtiibs iip here .yet and the fellows have to use hand basins and small tubs to wash in. Some of the more, hardy men take their soiled clothes down tothe river and.wash in the ice cold North Thompson. I don't know Jiow they do it, but every Sundai: you see some heading there. I wouldn't guarantee the quality of their work, or say exactly what shade of tattle-tale gray they produce. -Some of the fellows tie their clothes to a rope and let the'swift .current of the river do the work for them. The results, in my opinion/ are highly dubious. -You can't say that: they are not ingenious, fhougii. Necessity is the father of inventioi) and so is;laziness.
