CANADIAN MOUNTED" Story o! Unique Pollee Force Now Going Out. OPERATED OVER WIDE AREA Of WFLDS Had Wonderful Prestige in Upholding Majoety of Law Even Among the Roughest and Most Fearless People of the Earth. ! Dearborn Independent. Whoi: ^{wrly In 1930 the ItyW&f North- 1 west Mounted .Poficfc/of .Connda, were : amalgamated wjth a federal force ' known as the Dominion Petted they, as p. l?ody of constabulary crer.ted pri- j marily for the maintenance of law ami j order in organized territory, passed I out of existence. . ' * *- ni\soliro?Y>?ltAl1 i i 11 18 true UliU ma \ force, now known as the Royal. Cnna- 1 t.ian Mounted Police, comprises virtually the entire strength of the .Northwest Mounted I>ollec at the time ?of the .transfer, and also that Colonel Perry, a member of the Northwest i Mounted since 1882 and commissioner | i luce 1900, is at Us head; bill times ; liaye chunked since the force was or- j Knnigod itt 1873. At that time the newly-formed Dominion of Canada was only six years of age. The vast tract cf territory stretching from the Great Lakes to the Rocky Mountains was virtually unexplored. its plains roamed over jby herds of buffalo and populated Iby nomadic Indian tribes. This crftpire in itself had,?t previous to 189G, been governed by the Hudson Bay Company. which was interested solely in the fur trade and looked with disfavor I on the advent of the settler. The acuuisition of these Hudson Bay Company lands, comprising 2.3&0, 000 .square rnues, mnuw a uit-uiuwui | on the Dominion Government to make soino provision for the maintenance therein of Canadian law. 'J ho Indian population living between the Ked ftiyer and the Itobky iionntains at that time was esthuuted j to be in tho neighborhood of 1!>,000, consisting principally .of Orees and Blackfeet, as w^ll as Peignns, Hloods, Asslniboines and a number of small tribes, of whom prohahly not more than 4,000 were capable of bearing arms. In addition, there wCre 2,900 half-breeds. Unlike those south of the iptornational boundary line, the Indians of the Canadian Northwest hod, so far very little trouble. The reason is perhaps to be fbund in the fact that the policy maintained Hudson Bay i Company of retaining to itself virtually the exclusive privileges kept out such ! unscrupulous traders as hrd beeh so ( instrumental across th* line in stirring ' up strife between the redjucn and the ' whites. As it was, what trouble did occur ; with the Indians on the Canadian [ plains was along the borders where * - - " 1 Un A I traders from me uimen hiuub ?i?u | been for some years past ply ins " lucrative trade in sullying the Indians With liquor in exchunge for , buffalo hides and. other products of the chase. The influence of the whisky, { and also a plentiful supply of that other advance guard of civilization? the musket-?was occasionally roaponsible for sporadic returns to the tribal feuds of the past. Force Was Created in 1873 In 1871 the territory between the, U(^l<y Mountains and the Pacific ' Ocean( how known as the province cf ! British Columbia, became part of the Dominion on the understanding that a j railroad be built connecting the Pa- | ciflc with eastern Canada. The sdrvey j and construction parties whiph would j have to traverse that vast land in the ' . location and Jnilldlng of such n great undertaking would require protection, as would the settlers who were sure ; to follow In the wake of railway ex- ! tension. It was in consideration of some of these requirements that the government of Sir John A. MacDonald made provision for the creation of the Northwest Mounted Police in 1S73. The force was rhodelcd somewhat along the lines of the Royal Irish Constabulary. It was a civilian force, but with military organisation. Although tho act under which the force was created provided for an ultimate strength of 300 men, only three divisions of 50 men each were raised at first. These were recruited in tlic east and arrived in Fort Garry?now Winnipeg?in October, 1S73, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Geojfee A. French, the first commissioner. As the distance from the Red River to the Rocky Mountains is more than KOO miles, and the northern extremity of the territory to be patrolled by the force about an equal distance from the international boundary, it was obviously impossible to police such an oxteusive stretch of country from Fort Carry, and in the spring of 1S7I. Colonel French set about establishing posts at strategic point:* throughout j tht. Mnrthwest. For this purpose tho strength of the force was increased to I the full authorized number. As one ' of the objects of the police was to acquaint the Indians with Canadian law ! . and also to impress them with an idea of the resources which were available for its enforcement. Colonel French decided to make a march in force across the plains to lite foothills of j the Itockles. Accordingly, early in-July, 1874. he set out with a cavalcade consisting of i 274 men, 3f0 horses, 142 oxen and 93 cattle. Resided the mounted men, J were 73 wagons and 142 Red River ox- : carts. The whole column, when in I marching order, stretched out across the prairie for several milts. In Contact With Sitting Bull. * It must have been an impressive | sight?the mounted police in their scarlet coats riding" in column of route, followed by the creaking Red Rivet i f i j carls. As t^iev traveled, large herds j i cf buffaloes were encountered at frequent Intervals; and, at times, antelopes. Hunters brought in every day sufficient fresh meat to supply the camp. Arrived at the foothills of the Rockies. a detachment was left to estab- j lish a post or. the Old Man River, un I der the command of Colonel Macleod, , } assistant commissioner: and Colonel | French returned to .Manitoba, cstalWj Iishing other posts en route. Coionel Mat-Rod gave ids: name to: the port, which was established on the j ail# of what is now a well-known : town in Southern Alberta, llo aJj?o named the present city of Calgary, j i which \va.s originally a police post, j < now tho largest city in Alberta. It ! was formerly spelled "Culgarry," a ; < (Jaclic word., meaning "clear running: h water," th? name o.f tho Maxc|2odan- p central home In the Highlands of. Scotland. < For majiy years the most far-reach- < ing influence in the Northwest, the I mounted police have left their impress i on the country on all sides The norri- < enclature ot' tho west is thickly inter- t spnused with names reminiscent of^the i I Northwest Mounted 1'olive . j l After the Custer massrere in 1S76. < Sitting Hull with about >.000 Sionx, j i crossed into Canada and established f t himsplf in the vicinity of the Cypress I Hills, in what is now the province of Saskatchewan. For a lumber of years, until Sitting Bull's surrender to ( tho United States authorities in 18S1. 1 the presence on Canadian territory of f these troublesome visitors oiiulred al- f most constant vigilance on' the part of t the police. Several timej situations ,1 arose which but for the taot and dip- s lotnacv of the police might have ve- f suited in international co nplieations. ? Sitting Bull and his followers wore considered by the Canadian and Amor- > lean govern rhents an wa ds of the j United States., On the tther hand r they had sought sanctuary in Canada \ -- ???t. t.,u,a 1 mm SU iui:g :is nn:.? uuv.nu ?ht; . of (he country they were free to remain. At the same time there always was danger that they wouU use Canadian territory as a base ot operations for carrying on warfare arainst their foes across the border. It is estimated that Indian wars in the United States cost the American people approxintfittely $700,000,000 between 1776 and 1$SG, to say nothing of the loss of thousands of lives. With the exception of the half-arcd rebellion of 1885. which recited in very little loss of life and was put down with the expenditure of very little monov, the whole of tlie Canadian West was opened up with a minimum j of friction between the Indians and j the whites. This remarkable achievement was due 111 no small measure to the Mounted i'olice. The aborigines were early taught, to respect the scat lot coated rider of the plains. They learned that his invariable rule was; j to cany out the undertaking to which i Ulu Tl,n l?ie_.,_I>r>! in- ! a IH* Cl'l ItlO llliliM. 1 HV J ?v w. * ?? , -cident, which occurred during the con- , f Btructioi: of the Canadian Pacific j Railway, may be citcil as typical; Pie-a-Pot was an Indian chief who j a happened to be encamped virtually on I e the right of way of the proposed rail- j l way grade. When the construction J 0 gangs reached his vicinity he refused I to move and threatened to make 1 trouble. For a time construction was a halted. The Mounted Police were ap-'t pealed to. Two men?a sergeant, and <" a constable?were sent out to set the*| 1 matter straight. Pic-a-Pot was in a t truculent moixi, probably fortified by j f some of the bad whisky which was be- j fing .smuggled In more or less freely, ' f owing to the influx of laborers em- j t ployed on construction, in spite of the j t vigilance of the police. He had sov- v oral hundred braves around him and a was rpore than insolent when the slim t patrol of two rode into his camp i and ordered him to move on.

Ilut the Mounted Police were not accustomed to failure. They had always dealt with the Indians with the jnost scrupulous fairness, and, in consequence, had established for themselves a mighty respect. The police sergeant on this occasion was not one to let the Indians' respect for his uniform suffer through any appearance ci kick <>i commence on ms pan. iiea-Pot evincing an inclination to dispute the matter, the sergeant pulled out hip watch and announced that he Would give the chief jush 15 minutes to. coirynci.-'pe nnvvin; his camp. He sat there;on his.horse, watch .11 hand, surrounded by the Indians whose pfhihtcnances changed from assurance to' incredulity nfc they realized that the officer meant .fust what he said. At thd ax pi ration of the 15 minutes, the serghant -gut down from his horse; ivafkiug'to Pie-U-Pot's tepee, he kicked out the foot of the key pole and down came the tepee in a heap. This he did with several .other tepees until I the cowed Indians, impressed in spite j if themselves, commenced striking their own tents preparatory to carrying out the instructions of the plucky police. They realized that there was confidence in a reserve of force much greater than the mere presence of two jnsupported men would appear to justify. , They Were Lovers of Adventure. Thin is but one of the numerous incidents ,\yith which the annals of the "orce are filled. The majority are not 10 spectacular, but all show the same iteady adherence to the traditions of he organization, whieh'has given the Northwest Mounted Police of Canada . l reputation for steadfastness in the are or duty sum as Has never ncen lurpassed elsewhere. The men who composed the force vere recVult'ed chiefly from atnohg roting men of gbod family, whose love >f adventure and of the 'out-of-doprs vas sufficient compensation for the oneliness and lack of material opporunltics which are inseparable from ife on the frontiei4. While Sifting Bill and hin followrs were in Canada, the chief danger mint was south of the Cypress Hills, tear 4Jic international boundary line. por this reason the headquarters of he force was established at Fort iValsh. but'with the return of that vorthy to the United States, and with he removal of the remaining natives o lands in the northern portion of the erritories in the wake of the receding uiffaio. the need for police supervision n the vicinity of Fort Walsh was very argoly removed, so in 1882. the headluarlers was moved to PHe-of-Bones 'reck, now the city of I'egina. the apital of Saskatchewan, where it renamed until February, 1920, when it vas transferred to Ottawa. In 1SS2. also, the strength of the orce was increased to 500 men. Durng the Itiei rebellion In 1885, the Counted Police played a notable part, nd to tope with the situation the orrc was further increased to 1,00ft. At the outset, juid until 1835, the Corthwest Mounted Police was purely i prairie organization. Horses playsi a part in its work second only to hat performed by the men. With treat stretches of scantily populated >lains to patrol, ihe constable would ir.ve been almost impotent without the lid of his noble equine companion, tut in the year 1895 the jurisdiction >f the police was extended to a teritor.v in which his chief reliance was ransferred to man's other animal riend? the dog. The discovery of ;old ir the Yukon made it necessary or the extension of law and order ino that unorganzied territory, and natirally the Northwest Mounted Police rere asked .to undertake the task. In ddition to the enforcement of law, ho'police were intrusted with the duty >f carrying the mails between the far listant outposts of civilization and to fhlch the lore of gold had brought all ;inds of people, the safety of whom he government must exercise in poential care.

' i ' ! inp out of the situation ta that of thp : murder of two priests. Father LeRoux and Rouvier, at Bloody Falls, on the j Coppermine River, in 1913. The two missionaries had been missing tor two years, when Inspector | La Nauze, in charge of a small detail, j was senl to make an investigation."! i After p. search extending ov<^ almost la year, he fpund undoubted evidence j that the priests had been slain by two | Eskimos. He ascertained the identity I of the slayers and finally apprehended J I thorn?one on Victoria Island, even I i beyond the northernmost boundary of | | the Canadian mainland. Then com- I i menced the long "mush" back to civf, ltantion with the two prisoners. Thoy | were brought to Calgary, Albert#, tried I and found guilty. But after a short ; period of imprisonment they wert I pardoned, as it was felt tlir.t laws j framed for civilized pepple should not i bet enforced literally against such | primitive people as the Eskimos. The 1 police had thet: to make the long trip back to the Arctic with the liberated Eskimos to return them to their relatives, for the climate of the temperate zone is not suited to these children of the midnight sun. These cases cost the police a great deal of trouble and much hardship; but the Eskintos must learn what the plains Indians long ago learned?that the laws of the land must be respected; and also that what the Mounted Police set themselves to do they carry out. A volume could be written about the exploits of this unique body of men. Many have served as the basis of Innumerable works of Action. In fact, many stories in which the Northwest Mounted Police figure are conspicuous more for the wildneas of the authors' imagination than a knowledge or conditions under which the police live, work and have their being. Many a real tale of patient heroism and hardship is to be unearthed-only by delving into dusty reports. The Dominion Police, with which the Northwest Mounted have been amalgamated, formerly comprised a comparatively small body of men engaged chiefly as guardians of the parliamentary and administrative buildings at Ottawa, and of federal buildings, .such as customs ofTices in various other parts of the Dominion. To this has now been added the duties formerly performed by the Northwest Mounted; the enforcement of federal laws and regulatfpna; the assistance to provincial nuthoVlties- in the preservation of law and order. Secret service work in'connectiori with the activities of alleged :buTleals and the prevention of possible disorder during labor disturbances iUso are within the jurisdiction of the amalgamated force. The war. with its attendant German spy and general alarmist psyv cho'ogv, was responsible for an lnnroana In the nprsoTmel- of the new force, so that it now, numbers .half as many men again as did the Northwest Mounted Police in the year of the Kiel rebellion. Its jurisdiction, too, has been extended from coast to coast. The, frontiers have been pushed up to within-raeasurablC'distance of the Pole. There is still work in that region for the men of the Northwest Mounted but much of the -"stool pigeon" work which thiy are ndw called on to undertake In the cities ill comports with the traditions of a force, whose habit was for almost half a century to ride up to thetr quarry without cover or concealment of any kind and to enforce respect fdr the laws, ; rather by means of mofa! suasion than by the application of force. That type of man will not long remain content to perform duties such as those which live present organisation Is often called on to undertake: Men of a different type from those who wei'e attracted to the ojd Northwest Mounted are being recruited into the ranks today. There are many who knew the "Scarlet Riders" 'of the plains in the old days who think that they should have been asked only to continue their task of policing the newer lands; and, that with the narrowing of the frontier, they should have been sneered to follow the sunset trail with the buffalo and the Indian, their true contemporaries, into the limbo of the past; and thus pass from the stage with their laurels thick about ,them, rather than that the luster of their fame should become tarnished, as It must ! be, through contact with the sordid j materialism and filth of cities.

The husks | arc sold under the name of "hulls" for cattle feed and the seed proper are ! crushed in a roller mill. The resulting meal is heated in iron kettles at 70 degrees to 90 degrees Centigrade and is | then pressed to remove the oil. The cake remaining after removing the oil is valuable as a cattle feed when mixed with the hulls. The cake is also sold as a fertilizer under the name of "cotton-seed, meal" and contains a little over 7 per cent, available ammonia and a small per cent, of potfesh. ! The crude oil is of a rdddfsh color and must be refined for most purposes. It is allowed to settle and is pumped into large iron tanks which have a mechanical agitator and steam Heating colls. The oil is mixed with caustic soda and agitated for several minutes; the caustic soda reacts with the free j fatty acid of the oil to forma soap. At' the expiration of several minutes the agitator is stopped and the soap being insoluble in the oil, settles to the bottom of the tank as "foots." The clear oil is run off and the foots sold for soap stock. The oil treated thus is yellow and must be bleached for some purposes. The bleaching is accomplished by treating with "fullers' earth" at a temperature of about 100 degrees Centigrade, The bleached oil iH water-white 'or yellow according to the quality of the refined oil.

FORGOTTEN'MOTHS. Celebrities Don't Stay Long on Broadway, New York. When Broadway stretches out Its be-; jeweled hand, aflre with the glint of a million lights, the dainty mdths wing their way to the dazzle from tiny threeflight-up abodes, writes O. O. Mclntyre, New York Journalist. Like cohiets they gierttn and are gone, vanished [ like magic into the night. Where are the proud, haughty beau-| ,tlfs of yesteryear? Beauties vibrant with light-hearted health and girlish jfrpshnetes.
