The great herds of halal° still ranged the prairies, and it is strange now to read in the old order.books prohibitions from shooting more animals then could be used for food. The griztly bate had not beat his final retreat to the mountains, and there were antelope in Attendance, The Indians often tame into coadict over eneroachetents upon each other's hunting -grounds and were quick to appeal to the red -coats as arbiters and pro- tectors. .A,t that time the Police had the whole management of the Indians on their thoulders. They had to reconcile them to the corning of the whites, and to protect the surveyors, who had already begun par- celling ont the country and exploring the route of the railway. Their abilities as diplomats were evidenced by the readiness with which the Indiana entered into the treaties concluded between 1875 end, 1877, and iheir soldierly qualities by the bearing of the deteehments that escortee the coin. inissioners. Convoying the large auras of money and atores of supplies required for the annual payments to eacii head of a fatally was a perilous duty. The diatribe- tof them required. firmuess, tact, and ineight inte the mystery of Indian charac- ter. Bob these are qualities the Police have always shown in amarked degree. In 1877 nearly the whole tf the little force Was Concentrated on the south-western frontier to watch and check,the 6,000 Sioux who sought refuge in Canada, after their de- feat of Ouster on. the Little Big Horn. Fort Walsh, in the Cypress Hills, was made headquarters instead of Fort Pelly ; e. pits - commanding the trails from the Upper Miseouri was established at Wood Mount teln to the eastward, and the garrison of Fort Macleod was increased. A thee of great anxiety eusaed, The Carta.dien In - diens, especially the Blackfeet, were strong- ly opposed to the presence of the Sioux— the more so as it WAS already apparent that the buffalo would be extinct in a few years. The temptation was great to smoke the tobacco sent them by Sioux runners, and thus bind themselves to join in an ef- fort to sweep out once and for all the white men, whose numbers seemed so scanty. But—ohiefly under Crowfoot's influence— it was resisted, and they helped the Police by refrainiug from hostilities, and afford- ing information as to the doings of the new -comers. Sitting Bull anti his warriors wore met with a quiet resolution that astonished them, and won their immediate respect. They were told thee so long as they observed the law they would be pro* tected, but could expect nothing more, and would not be allowed to settle per- menently in Canada, tied they.' were finally induced to surrender peacefully to the United States authorities in 1890-81. The coolness end pluck of ,the Police during that critical period was amezing. Their confidence in themselves is curiously evidenced by a, report from the officer in coinrnand at Wood Mountain, recommend- ing that at least 50 men should be etation- ed there, as there were about 5,000 Sioux camped in the vicinity ! On ono occasion an attempt by the Sioux tverriors to reseue by force ona of their number who had been arrested, was faced and stopped by '28 troopers. Such exploits were frequent. In 1877 Inspector 1Valsh, with Doctor Kiteson, a guide, and 15 constables, charged down at daybreak ono morning on a war camp of,200 A.ssiniboin s, who after illusing and firing at some Saulteaux camped near by, had threatened to serve the Police in the same way if they came. Surrounding the war lodge erected in the centre of the camp, be arrested and took away the head chief, Crow's Danee and 19 of the principal warriors. Then assemb- ling the remainder of the chiefs in council, be warned them of the rosette of setting the law at defiance and ordered them to let the Salteaux go in peace. On one occasion a settler struck an Ina din, whose comrades, some 500 in all, not understanding how such an insult could be atoned for by afine, prornptly proeeederl th destroy the settler's property. Getting worked up into wild excitement they •sooSi began firing indiscrinduately, and threatening to take the lives of all white men. Cotonel Irvine . and his Adjutant, Captain Cotton, happened to be near by. Though unarmed they rode straight into the infuriated band. Rifles were levelled at them from all sides, but their coolness told, and the Indians sullenly obeyed the order to disperse. Inetlents like this, how - over, could be told of every officer who has served. in the Mounted Police, nor heve the rank and file been behind their offners in daring and firmness. It was then as it is now, an every -clay matter of duty for a single constable to enter an Indian camp and make an arrest. Momentary indecia. ion, or the display of temper would have often meent not only failure but eertaie death. In 1880 Colonel Irvine'who ' had been Assistant Commissioner for some years, secceeded Colonel Macleod in the commapd, the latter becoming Stipendiary Magistrate, and eventually being appointed .a judge when the Sapreme Court of the Northwest Territories was orgaeizecl in 1886. Their names will always be mese:dated with the rapid and snccessful development of the country, and a record of the distinguished services which both began es Canadian officers in Lord Wolseley's Red River Ex- pedition of 1870, WOUld itself be the history of the Northwest. The modern era of that history began with the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The rapid progress of this was largely due to the services of the Police in preventang annoyance and attacks on work- ing parties by the Indiums, maintaining hew and order among the thousands of nav- vies employed, and preventing entirely the introduction of liquor. An' army of camp - followers --gamblers, thieves, and the scum of the Western border States—flocked in _few their expeeted hervest, brit were.ke,pt itt perfeet otden The Police clici good Work, too, in quelling strike:11 which at times threatened to become serious disturb- ances. Mr. Van Horne, the President of the Company, has borne the most telling testimony to -their services in these words written to the Commissioner : " Without the assistance of the officers and men of the 'sitlendid, force under your commaral it would have been impossible to accoMplish as muth work as we did. On no great work within my knowledge, where so many men have been employed, has such perfect order prevailed." ' Till then the Police had mainly their own eafety to consider.

The rest, making the strength only three hun- dred in all, wont front 'Toronto to Fargo by mall, hi June, 1874, and had a foretaste of their work m a. march of 160 miles to Dufferin on the southern frontier of Mani- toba. *lee, hig out the weaklings, and, 0 lowing a fe,- ood mm en to fora depot and. send a detect)meet to Fort Ellice on the Assiniboine, the Moanted Pollee began their record and ecored front the outset. With two fiehightis and two mortars, and relying on their own transport :-raen Inc aupplies, they marched 800 miles westward through an unknown country inhabited by 30,090 Indians and a few score white des- peradoes, till the Rocky Mountains were in sight Leaving Colonel Macleod, the As. Instant Commissioner, to build a fort in ehe very heart of the country of the ter- rible Blackfoot, where no white man's life was then safe, and. sending another letachment north to Edmonton among the Sissiniboines and Wood Ones, the main eolumn turned back. They crossed the plains northward by way et Qu'Appelle to Fort Pelly, but finding theirintended bead - limners were not ready they returned to Dafferin. The thermometer, which, itacl stood at 103 0 F. in the shade when they marched out, marked 30 0 F. belowzero on their return. In four months, to a day, they err -yelled 1,1151 miles, besides the distance covered by datachmeuts on special service. Once beyond the rich prairies of Manitoba, hard work in the gravel drifts of the _Missouri Coteau and among the broken gullies of Wood. Mountain and the Cypress Hill!, told heavily on their animals. .Many good horses -lived through want of water and food in the arid plaine where cactus and sage -brush are the only vegetation round the alkalthe lakes, to die from the effeets of unaccustomed forage, or froin the bitter cold that came on early in the au- tumn, though officers and men gave up their bia'cleets to shelter their chargers. But the three hundred police accomplished, without tang a life, what had seemed work for an army --the taking possessioa of the Great Lone Land, One object of the expedition was to drive mit tha gangs of whiskey traders, outlaws nf the worst kind from the Western States, who kept the Indians in n chronic state of deviltry, and only the year before hail cm:ratted a number of murders and out - 'ages on their own account. The forts in which they were reported to be entrenched, It the junction of the BOW and Belly Rivers, proved to be merely trading posts, built of logs, and the inmates had taken themselves off witheut giving the police t chance to lire a shot. Another object Was to establish friendly relations with the Indians. This was soon accomplithed, ind their confidence in the police has lasted from that day to this. Their eds.' picions quickly wore away, and they be - Ante oetspoken in. their expressions of gratitude to the Government for sending them such protectors. As one chief told Dolonel Macleod., "Before you came tee [tidien crept along, now he is not afraid to walk erect." They were given a general idee of the lanet, told thethese Would be ihe eadrie fer white man and Indian OA°, and that they need not fear punishment except for doing what they knew to be wrong. They were promised that their lands would not be taken from them, belt that fair treaties -would be made in soleinu counoil—prornises the faithful fdltilment of which has saved Canada from Indian wars. Before the end of 1374 Colonel Macleod was able to report that the whiskey trade was completely suppresseil, that an unarmed man could ride safely ever whet had been the battle -ground of them hereditary enemies the Blackfoot and CECRS. and theft the only Indian difficulty felt their ptemem uhterly. Amens the thousands f lannimiants there Will 4iatar. alio a large preemie:ma of the roughest class., and the thougat that a Tattler's tegut or hasty action might precipitate int Indian outbreak added largely to the cares of the Police.

Auother in- stance out of many, which I wish there were apace to give, will further show the cool- ness and determiztation with which the Police always act. It hag:petted in 18S2, but is typical of any time in their history. A sub -chief of the Blackfeet, named Bull Elk, stole some beef from a white man and fired at Min. Inspeutor Dickens—a son of the novelist by the way—ordered his arrest. Sergeant Howe and two constables went with the Inspector to the reserve and took their prisoner through mob. Though they, were itnoeked down and the Indians began firing, they stuck to their men, while the Inspector kept the Indians beck with his revolver until the rest of the men quartered there—only ten of a reinforce.: ment—came to their resell°. The prisoner was to be sent to tfachod for trial, but 700 Blackfeet warriors, armed with Winchesters, surrounded the post, taunted the sentries, and tried to excite the, Polite to fire on them, which, of course, would have ended everything with the little detachment. On Crowfoot'a intercession and promise to go bail, the prisoner was allowed to go for a time. This happened on January 25, it was reported at tiaeleoci, 100 miles away, by Sergeant Howe, on the 4th, and by the evening of the Oth Meijer Crozier, with every available man, was at the Blackfoot Reserve, laving ordered the field -guns to be ready if wanted, The post Was hurried- ly fortified by eleven the next morning, and the prisoner was sone for. Crowfoot asked if they meant to fight. The reply was, "Certainly not, ttnless you commence." Crowfoot was then in turn asked whether he meant to do his duty as a chief, assist the Police in their duty, and make a speech to his people saying the -Superintendent had done right. The Indians were evidently greatly impressed, and after a vigorous harangue from Crowfoot endorsing the action taken, pull Elk was sentenced and marched oft to prison. The policy of sep- arating the tribes, settling them on reserves and teaching them to farm, was distasteful in the extreme to these born rovers ; but by great tact the Crees and Assiniboinee were persuaded to move north from the Cypress Hills to the Qu'Appolle Valley and the Sasketchewan, guarded by the Police from the attacks of their old enemies the Bloods, whose war -parties wore on the alert to seize such a chance. They did not all go quietly, however, forSBig Bear, so notorious after- ward in the rebellion cif 1885, and another worthy named Pie -a -Pot, gave much trouble. The former led 150 braves to sack Fort Welsh, but the sight of 100 red -coats, and two mountain guns on its wooden bastions, changed his mind and kept him civil for a time, though soon afterward Colonel Irvine, with one officer and 22 men, had to take their lives in their hands by riding into his camp of 590 lodges to enforce the surrender of some horses etolen from Montana Territory.
