The Honourable the Minister in Control of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Ottawa. have the honour to submit herewith the Annual Report of the Royal ,Canadian Mounted Police for the year ended September 30, 1928. STRENGTH AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE FORCE On that date the strength of the force was 55 officers, 936 non-commissioned officers and constables, and 96 special constables, or 1,087 of all ranks; omitting the special constables—persons temporarily employed for miscellaneous duties ranging from dog-drivers to clerical employes—the strength of the force proper was 991. On the corresponding date in 1927 the strength was 52 officers, .855 non-commissioned officers and constables, and 97 special constables; or 1,004 all ranks; or, omitting special constables, 907. The increase in the force proper thus has been 84, or 9* per cent. This increase is more than accounted for in Saskatchewan and the North, there having been a decrease elsewhere. Excluding special constables, the accessions to the strength in the twelve- month period numbered 186; of these 53 were taken over from the Saskatchewan Provincial Police, 10 were former members of the force who re-engaged, and 123 were recruits. The number of applicants was 2,257. The following shows the distribution in the several provinces and territories on September 30, 1928.— Y.i C) g1 Ft • 91 0 ) tj • g .1.3 A g T- a).

The increase is to be ascribed to two causes: the essumption of ordinary police duties in Saskatchewan, which has brought our detachments in that province up from 20 to 80, an increase of 60; and a total increase of five in other parts of the Dominion. • The details of this last are: in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia and the Northwest Ter- ritorieS one additional in each; in the Yukon, two more; and in Alberta, one.

THE AGREEMENT WITH SASKATCHEWAN During the period under review an agreement was concluded betWeen the Government- of Canada and the provincial Government in Saskatchewan whereby this force has •undertaken the enforcement of law and order in the province of Saskatchewan, more especially in those parts of it which do not maintain municipal police forces. The new arrangement came into effect on June 1, 1928, so that this report covers four months of our activities•under it. Our connection with police work in Saskatchewan goes back to the settle- ment of the prairies for the arrival of this force made possible the peaceful development of the land,' and the establishment of a territorial administration. For many years we discharged all police duties, and many extraneous duties as well. When Alberta and Saskatchewan were Constituted provinces in 1905, an arrangement was made whereby this force continued to discharge police duties, each province making a contribution towards defraying its cost, and the force, while under full Dominion control, consulting the Attorney-General of the prov- ince concerned in such matters as fell within his purvieW. This .was continued: until 1917, when owing to war conditions, the two provinces assumed control of the ordinary eniorcement of law and order. In consequence, the Alberta Pro- vincial Police and the Saskatchewan Provincial Police forces were constituted, and this force discharged the duties set forth in preceding reports, and in the later pages of this report. In the course of the • Dominion-Provincial conference held in Ottawa in 1927 the question of policing was discussed, there having been perceived some overlapping of effort, and a certain unnecessary expense, in the mainte- nance of federal and provincial police in the same area. As a result of the discussion a further conference was held on January 6, 1928, between the Min- ister of Justice and myself as representing the Dominion and the Hon.

Our lead story comes from frequent contributor Chris Baer, who writes a swashbuckling narrative of two of the Vineyard’s most adventur- ous, daring — and quirky — characters, George Cleveland and George Fred Tilton, whose arctic legacies continue to this day. Our second story came about when Florence Obermann Cross suggested to a gathering of old friends that they write down their childhood memories of shared summers on the Lagoon. The result is a collective recollection of cottages without electricity or water; good neighbors; artistic and intellectual inspiration; sailing, swimming and long-gone open views. This is a slice of Oak Bluffs history beyond the more well-known Cottage City and Campground stories. Finally, the Museum’s chief curator, Bonnie Stacy, has reminded us that 75 years ago the ’38 hurricane, the mother of them all, was unannounced and deadly, even here on Martha’s Vineyard. — Susan Wilson, editor THE DUKES COUNTY INTELLIGENCER VOL. 55, NO. 1 © 2013 WINTER 2013 Left Behind: George Cleveland, George Fred Tilton and the Last Whaler to Hudson Bay by Chris Baer ......................................................................................

Especially convincing is evidence, presented by DAMASKE & OAKEY (2006), that at least one basic dyke of Neoproterozoic age extends across Smith Sound from Inglefield Land to inshore eastern Ellesmere Island without any recognizable strike slip offset. INTRODUCTION These results confirm that no major sinistral fault exists in southern Nares Strait. It is apparent to both earth scientists and the general public To account for the absence of a Wegener Fault in most parts of Nares Strait, that the shape of both coastlines and continental margins of the present paper would locate the late Paleocene-Eocene Greenland plate boundary on an interconnected system of faults that are 1) traced through western Greenland and eastern Arctic Canada provide for a Jones Sound in the south, 2) lie between the Eurekan Orogen and the Precam- satisfactory restoration of the opposing lands.

  • Canadian Arctic Tide Measurement Techniques and Results
    International Hydrographie Review, Monaco, LXIII (2), July 1986 CANADIAN ARCTIC TIDE MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES AND RESULTS by B.J. TAIT, S.T. GRANT, D. St.-JACQUES and F. STEPHENSON (*) ABSTRACT About 10 years ago the Canadian Hydrographic Service recognized the need for a planned approach to completing tide and current surveys of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in order to meet the requirements of marine shipping and construction industries as well as the needs of environmental studies related to resource development. Therefore, a program of tidal surveys was begun which has resulted in a data base of tidal records covering most of the Archipelago. In this paper the problems faced by tidal surveyors and others working in the harsh Arctic environment are described and the variety of equipment and techniques developed for short, medium and long-term deployments are reported. The tidal characteris­ tics throughout the Archipelago, determined primarily from these surveys, are briefly summarized. It was also recognized that there would be a need for real time tidal data by engineers, surveyors and mariners. Since the existing permanent tide gauges in the Arctic do not have this capability, a project was started in the early 1980’s to develop and construct a new permanent gauging system. The first of these gauges was constructed during the summer of 1985 and is described. INTRODUCTION The Canadian Arctic Archipelago shown in Figure 1 is a large group of islands north of the mainland of Canada bounded on the west by the Beaufort Sea, on the north by the Arctic Ocean and on the east by Davis Strait, Baffin Bay and Greenland and split through the middle by Parry Channel which constitutes most of the famous North West Passage.
