Charlie's photo description: That's the second last house. I see a pile on the left there ready
for the new log house. This old house here we moved over to the side and I give it to my brother-in-
law, Vernon Strevens. He and his wife lived in it. It's the first one that I really built for
ourselves. Before that we were in one-room shacks. This house was down next to the Indian
Agency. The Mission finally relented and sold me two, pretty near three acres. Good two-and-a-half
acres down there. I was the only one that they'd ever sold a piece of land to, for some reason
or another. We got along fine. When they needed anything I had it and if I needed anything they
had it and that's the way it went. But I had such a hard time getting it. Isidore Wawa is sitting on
the dozer.

WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 12: Note how the logs at the sides of the photo are sawn so that
there are three flat sides. While Charlie does not describe this picture in the the interview, he
does describe how he and John Gilby, the first head of Fort Simpson's Dominion Experimental
Farm, decided to use local instead of imp01ied lumber to build the buildings. Gilby wanted log
buildings. Charlie suggested sawing the logs flat on tlu·ee sides so that they could essentially be
stacked. The interior flat edges would be aligned to make a flat interior surface to which a
panelling of choice could be readily attached. That appears to be the construction method being
used in this photo, although whether or not this is at the Dominion Experimental Farm is
unknown. The timbers being hewn look as though they will be suppo1i beams beneath the
building. The wall timbers are either side of the photo.
