SESSIONAL PAPER No. 28 A. 1903 N orth-west M ounted P olice, Office of the Commissioner, R egina, December 15, 1902. To the Right Honourable Sir W ilfrid Laurier, P.C., G.C.M.G., &c., President of the Privy Council, Ottawa, Ont. Sir,—I have the honour to submit for your information my annual report for the year ended November 30, on the work performed by the force under my command in the North-west Territories, together with the reports of the following commanding officers, medical officers and veterinary officer :— Superintendent R. B. Deane, commanding ‘ A ’ Division, Maple Creek District, ii A. H. Griesbach, commanding ‘C’ Division, Battleford District. m C. Constantine, commanding ‘G ’ Division, Edmonton District, n G. E. Sanders, D.S.O., commanding ‘ E ’ Division, Calgary District. h P. C. H. Primrose, commanding ‘D’Division, Macleod District. m W. S. Morris, commanding ‘F ’ Division, Prince Albert District. Inspector J. O. Wilson, commanding Regina District. m J. V. Begin, commanding ‘K ’ Division, Lethbridge District, n A. C. Macdonell, D.S.O., commanding Depot Division. Assistant Surgeon Haultain, ‘ C ’ Division. h Bell, Depot Division. Acting Assistant Surgeon Mewburn, ‘ K ’ Division. h h Aylen, ‘G ’ Division. h h Rouleau, ‘E ’ Division, n h Ketchen, ‘ F ’ Division. h n Forbes, ‘D ’ Division. h ii Deane, ‘A ’ Division. Inspector J. F. Burnett, Veterinary Surgeon. I am again able to report that the condition of the Territories from a police point of view is satisfactory. In my last annual report I called your attention to the largely increased demands on the force, and the difficulty I found in meeting them. This year these difficulties have been emphasized. The continued development of the country, the increase of population, the settlement of remote districts, many new towns that have sprung up, and the construction of new railways have greatly added to our work. In the train of the immigration has come a number of the criminal class, which, though not large, will probably increase. The new settlers are principally from foreign countries, a great number being from the United States. The American settler is much impressed by the fair and impartial administration of justice. He finds a constabulary force such as he has not been accustomed to, but the advantages of which he is quick to acknowledge, and a country free from all lawlessness and enjoying liberty without license. The European sees no novelty, but he quickly learns that there is no oppression, and that his best friends and advisers are the constables of the force. I cannot well exaggerate the admirable work done by the members of the force among these immigrants who, speaking a foreign language, of an alien race, and unaccustomed to our laws, require timely advice and careful guidance. 28—1 2 NORTH WEST MOUNTED POLiCE 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 The expenditure on the North-west Mounted Police is large, but as a factor in the peaceful settlement of this great territory, I think it can well be considered as capital invested, the benefits of which will be reaped by posterity, when the force has disap­ peared and its work been forgotten. To one who is unacquainted with the country it is difficult to convey any adequate idea of the labour involved in policing such a vast country and carrying out the multi­ farious duties imposed on us. As an instance of this I may mention the work done by Corporal Field last winter. He is stationed at Fort Chipewyan, Athabaska District. He was informed that a man had gone violently insane at Hay River, three hundred and fifty miles from his post. He proceeded there with dog train, accompanied by an interpreter only, and brought the unfortunate man, who was a raving maniac, back to Fort Chipewyan, and thence escorted him to Fort Saskatchewan, travelling a total dis­ tance of thirteen hundred miles with dogs, and occupying forty-four days on the journey. This is not an isolated instance. It represents the work of Inspector West and liismen in the northern country. In considering the work of the force, I would ask you to remember the load of extraneous duties placed upon it. The Departments of Justice, Agriculture, Customs and Interior freely avail themselves of our assistance. I quite recognize that the Government business should be treated as a whole. All that I ask is that due credit should be given us for this work in considering the value of the Mounted Police to the country. CRIME.

William Halbrook Crary was a prospector and newspaper man born in the 1870s (may be 1873 or 1876). William and his brother Carl N. Crary came to Valdez in 1898. Will was a member of the prospecting party of the Arctic Mining Company; Carl was the captain of the association. The Company staked the “California Placer Claim” on Slate Creek and worked outside of Valdez on the claim. Slate Creek is a tributary of the Chitina River, in the Chistochina District of the Copper River Basin. Will Crary was the first townsite trustee for Valdez. Carl later worked in the pharmaceutical field in Valdez and was also the postmaster. Will married schoolteacher Nan Fitch in Valdez in 1906. Carl died of cancer in 1927 in Portland, Oregon.

  • Mountain Lakes Guide: Absaroka, Beartooth & Crazies
    2021 MOUNTAIN LAKES GUIDE Silver Lake ABSAROKA - BEARTOOTH & CRAZY MOUNTAINS Fellow Angler: This booklet is intended to pass on information collected over many years about the fishery of the Absaroka-Beartooth high country lakes. Since Pat Marcuson began surveying these lakes in 1967, many individuals have hefted a heavy pack and worked the high country for Fish, Wildlife and Parks. They have brought back the raw data and personal observations necessary to formulate management schemes for the 300+ lakes in this area containing fish. While the information presented here is not intended as a guide for hiking/camping or fishing techniques, it should help wilderness users to better plan their trips according to individual preferences and abilities. Fish species present in the Absaroka-Beartooth lakes include Yellowstone cutthroat trout, brook trout, rainbow trout, golden trout, arctic grayling, and variations of cutthroat/rainbow/golden trout hybrids. These lake fisheries generally fall into two categories: self-sustaining and stocked. Self-sustaining lakes have enough spawning habitat to allow fish to restock themselves year after year. These often contain so many fish that while fishing can be fast, the average fish size will be small. The average size and number of fish present change very little from year to year in most of these lakes. Lakes without spawning potential must be planted regularly to sustain a fishery. Standard stocking in the Beartooths is 50-100 Yellowstone cutthroat trout fingerlings per acre every eight years. Special situations may call for different species, numbers, or frequency of plants. For instance, lakes with heavy fishing pressure tend to be stocked more often and at higher densities.

  • (CEF) Badges and Medals Related to the Yukon During the First World War
    h ps://doi.org/10.22584/nr44.2017.009 CollecƟ ng Canadian ExpediƟ onary Force (CEF) Badges and Medals Related to the Yukon During the First World War Timothy J. Popp Independent Historian Abstract: I have been collec ng Canadian militaria since the early 1970s. I now believe I have collected every known military badge associated with Yukon Territory military units. These include the Yukon Field Force (1898); the Dawson Rifl es of Canada (1900); Boyle’s Yukon Machine Gun Detachment (1914)—whose regimental badge was created by Jacoby Brothers in Vancouver; the Yukon Motor Machine Gun Ba ery (1915)—whose badges were created in England by Gaunt and Sons of London; the Yukon Infantry Company (1916)—whose unique badges were created by Jacoby and included a miniature miner’s gold pan complete with a gold nugget at the base of the pan; the Pacifi c Coast Mili a Rangers (1942); and the Yukon Regiment (1962). In my collec on I also have examples of all medals that were awarded to Yukon residents. This ar cle presents an overview of the badges worn on the uniforms of the military units that were raised in the Yukon for service with the Canadian Expedi onary Force. These badges are considered very rare to military CEF collectors, and seldom off ered through an auc on. The second part of the ar cle covers the medals awarded to Yukon men who served in these units and, in par cular, the many awards bestowed on Lt. Col. Joe Boyle. Military memorabilia is very important in the remembrance of the soldiers who represented the Yukon during the First World War.

    THE ULTIMATE EXPLORER Discover the world’s first luxury polar exploration vessel “From where does this strange, powerful and enduring attraction to the polar regions come, such that after returning one forgets the mental and physical fatigue resulting from the expedition and dreams only of returning? From where do these deserted, terrifying lands attain their extraordinary charm? Is it the pleasure of the unknown? The thrill of the struggle and the effort required to reach them and to survive in them? The arrogance of attempting to do something that others do not? The joy of being far away from small-mindedness and meanness? All of these play their role, as does something more. I now consider that these regions leave a kind of reverent mark on a person. Any man who reaches this place feels his spirit soar.” Jean-Baptiste Charcot, the gentleman of the poles 2 l Croisières d’expédition polaire Be the first aboard Le Commandant-Charcot, the world's first luxury polar exploration vessel.

    Eclipsing the Midnight Sun To the Ends of the Earth and Beyond 20th November - 17th December 2021 Eclipsing the Midnight Sun To the End of the Earth and Beyond 25 Days INTRODUCTION This is a journey of compelling contrasts. Move from Buenos Aires, the vibrant beating heart of Argentina to the sunny climes of the Mendoza wine region, brooded over by the snow-dusted peaks of the Andes. Progress ever southwards to the vast, wild panoramas of the Patagonian steppe, its boundaries protecting the heritage and traditions of a time long past. Venture on to the creaking ice sheets of the Perito Moreno Glacier and through remote corners of the Tierro Fuego National Park before setting sail on a cruise to the bottom of the world. In early December, a total solar eclipse will occur in the vast, glacial white depths of Antarctica, a place like nowhere else on earth. Total solar eclipses occur when the New Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth and casts the darkest part of its shadow onto the earth. During a full solar eclipse, a time known as totality, it becomes almost as dark as night. In this harshly beautiful land of extremes, on the southern-most continent on the planet, where the touch of humankind is scarce, you can witness one of earth’s most astonishing events. Join us on a remarkable voyage into the bewitching silence of the Weddell Sea ice pack and savour the incomparable privilege of being in the only place in the world where the total solar eclipse will be visible in its entirety.
