WORK EXTENDED THRUOUT CANADA “Former Northwest Mounted Police! Now Canadian Mounted Po- |{/ lice to. Enforce All Fed- eral Laws yn 2 (By Associated Press.) OTTAWA (By Mail).—Wearerg of the {- | * “scarlet and gold’ of the’ Northwest | WASHINGTON: RED CROSS WORKERS PREPARE ington 15 women who are making, editing, and pub! Mounted Police—on February 1 te- Police—are now charged with ‘the en: forcement of federal laws in all proy- inces of Canada. It is, for instance, ax tho the New York police force had its }y “beat” extended from the metropolig to San Francisco. Many of these intrep- id officers are sons of aristocratic: British families and are veterans of the great war. The metamorphosis of the great or ganization Known as. the Northwest Mounted Police, organized in 1878, when the Canadian northwest! was a sort of “No Man's Land,” recalls some. of, the|* herole exproits of its members... One.of the’ earliest of these was the nervy ac: tion of the late General Sir Sam Steele, then a sergeant. A camp of hostile Cree Indians were obstructing. the building of the Canadian Pacific rail- way. Sergeant Steele, accompanied’ by a-constable, rode into the midst of the camp, and while the red skins indulged in promiscuous shooting and war whoops, calmly ordered Chief Pie-A-Fot to get out within ten minutes. The chief ignoring his orders, Steele bed in a striking red coat, dismount- leaped over Pie-A-Pot's squgtting figure, thru the tepee door and kickéd out the center pole, bringing down the tent on: Pi¢-A-Pot and his squaws. The audacity of Steele's act in this man-handling the head of the tribe over- awed the Indians and they at once started to obey his order. Of the many international cases hafi- died by the mounted police, one of the + most famous was that of Sitting Bun who, after wiping out General Custer’s band in 1876, sought to use the Cana border territory ‘as a hase of further Operations against the Americans. Many other bands tried the same plan but all found that it was only a matter of time before they were compelled: to give up any such idea. ‘. The remarkable endurance’ of ‘mem- bers of the foree have been frequently mentioned in the press. The death of the Fitzgerald patrol on the Fort Me- Pherson-Dawson trail in 1910-11, when Inspector Fitzgerald with, Constables Kinney, Taylor and ex-Constable Car- ter died on duty, was a notable instance. The four bodies of the men who had perished on the long trail, were after- ‘ward found. The men had struggled oh to the last, killing their dogs and eyen eating part of the harnesa:. Fitzgerald, the last to survive, was found deat with his diary and a mail bag under his body. ‘The Bathurst Inlet Patrol, made a two and one-half year journey into the. Arctic Circle, covering 5,000 miles ‘in sledges, On snowshoes and ‘afoot, to ar- rest two Eskimos for thekilling of Rad- |’ ford and Street, two white men slain th 1912. They found the Eskimos and brot them to’ court. Many other interesting stories are told of these guardians of the péai At the present time recruiting for “the force has virtually stopped because of a lack of barrack accommodations. ——.___.
