from
May 30, 1945 BC Forestry paper
In this issue we take the opportunity to pay tribute to R. E.
Allen,
District Forester at Nelson, who retired on March 31st this year.
His successor is an old friend, R. C. St. Clair.
Robert Emmett Allen was born in Nevada, 67 or 68 years ago' he is
not sure which.
Part of his formal education was received at a
Roman Catholic Mission near Colville,
Washington, an old Hudson's Bay post.
Later, he crossed the Line into Canada, and in doing so changed
his
nationality, religion, politics and horse. When as a youth and
temporarily
broke, he got a job washing dishes in a hotel at New Denver, in the
Slocan country,
but his father kicked him out and told him he would drown him,
if he couldn't
get a better
job than that.
He has been washing dishes
for Mrs.
Allen ever since.
With his
father he packed and handled a mail line
in the Slocan Valley.
He worked as a public works road
foreman and
had
Sid Leary,
afterwards Minister of Public Works, and Charlie Haddon in his gang.
Bob Allen's first appointment With the Forest Service was on May
1st, 1911 as Patrolman.
In 1912 he worked as Divisional
fire guard at Revelstoke, along with Charlie
Haddon.
In March, 1915 he received his permanent
appointment
as District Forester at Hazelton.
In December 1919 he resigned to go
into the lumber business with Olaf Hansen,
Since Federal
M.P.
for
Skeena.
He
couldn't forget his old love though,
and rejoined the Forest Service in September 1926
as District Forester at Prince Rupert.
On April 1st, 1950 Bob was transferred to the
same position at Kamloops,
and on January 1st, 1952, to Nelson.
He has seen communications grow from pack trains
to aeroplanes from telephones to radios, from trails to highways,
and his salary from $4.00 a day to not enough.
He started his
career in this district (the Slocan) and finished
here,
and he rightly thinks that it is one of the most beautiful parts of
the Province,
if not of the continent.
