Canada's Indian
Wars.s.
It is only of recent years, since the
opening of the country by the rep.roads and the discovery of its wonder-
ful possibilities, that Western Canada
has found its way into the histories or
the world. The stories of the early
settlers who penetrated an almost ini-
known land full of hope but of unset
tainty of. the future, the Indian
troubles, the proving the fertility and
I productivity of western soil, the ti^sn-
sition of the prairie from its primitive
wildness to tho huge productive grain
area supplying the granaries of the
world- all these are almost too near

Season
Where Poundmaker Surrendered.
The City of l3attleford, beautifully
situated where the Battle River and
mighty Saskatchewan converge, was
one of the earliest of Western settle•
muents--a thriving little community in
the era before the railroads. It linked
up Winnipeg with Calgary and Mac-
Leod on the main trail which led
through what are now the prairie pro-
vinces. In 1878, it was made the seat
of the North West. Territories' govern-
ment, and parliament continued to
ineeet there until, the penetration of
the Canadian Pacific Railway farther
south, and the consequent attraction
of settlers- along its tracks caused it
to relinquish this honor in favor of the
more conveniently situated town of
Regina. Its name occurs frequently in
the tales of early western settlement,
and the Battleford district was the
scene of many bloody encounters be-
tween pioneers and Indians.. At the
barricades of the town, the Indian
Chief Poundmaker surrendered to
General Middleton on May 26th,.1S85,
virtually closing the chapter of Cana-
da's Indian wars. . '
Every Phase of Agriculture Practiced.
It is in this historic district that one
of the last large blocks of land owned
by the C.P.R. is just becoming avail-
able for settlement. It is a beautiful
park area of picturesque shady groves,
rolling upland and luxuriant meadows.
The country is admirably suited. to
mixed farming and the live stock in-
dustry, for its rolling slopes produce
fine hay, and its clumps of trees,'
whilst offering. no serious obstacle to
grain growing. afi'crd shade in the sum-
mer and shelter in the winter. The
soil is a rich chocolate loam with a
clay subsoil, ensuring a conservation
of those ingredients which make for
rapid and hardy growth, Wheat is
grown extsivcly and successfully as
well as other cereal crops, Every
phase of agriculture, in fact, has been
sueceasfully carded on. Poultry rais-
ing, market gardening and vegetable
growing flourish, whilst there is na
better dairying locality in the West-
ern provinces.

Fish That Give Shocks.
.Rock salmon is really a variety of ,
cat -fish. One peculiarity about the
cat -fish is that it swims on its back.
Another fish with an unusual nolle
of progression is the needle -fish, which
swims in: a vertical position with its
.head downwards.
Several varieties of fish are really
living electric batteries. The electric
ray has the power of generating elec-
tricity to such an extent that in a
healthy specimen the shock may be
strong enough to temporarily disable
a man. The electric star -gazer, the
electric cat -fish, aid the electric ell
also have this power to a remarkable
extent.
A batter -known electric fish is the
skate, although in this case the elec-
tric current generated is very slight
indeed. Fish possessing this power
use it for the purpose of self-protec-
tion and also to kill the victims on
which they feed.
Of fish which Carry lights there are
many varieties. Some carry Iiowerful
head lights, while others carry the
lights along their sides like an .Athan -
tic liner in miniature, Other fish have
the organs of touch very highly de-
veloped, and some depend upon these
organs for their living.
Of these the angler is. a good ex-
ample. The angler's rod is a, bone
whit
1 7
'h extends
over its rn ofth, At titer
end is a tiny piece of loose skin, This
is the bait. A curious fish goes up to
investigate, slightly touches the bait,
and the angler's laws close over its
prey with a snap.
