3,347 MILES ON
THIS POLICE BEAT
But Canadian Mounted Squad
Inspector Performed Feat.
CANOES USED IN WILDERNESS
Nine Monthi Spent Traversing Top ef
Continent to Report on Rout From
Hudson Bay to Mackenzie - Rivor.
8wimming . Daer Blookod Passage
Down Rivor, Pollotior Report.
A policeman with a beat 3.347 miles
long through a wilderness that yielded
progress only to canoes and over ice
fields passable only with dog teams
and sledges that in effect was Inspec
tor E. A. Felletler of the royal north
west mounted police, who, with Cor
poral M. A. Joyce and Constables R.
H. Walker and P. R. Conway, spent
nine months In traversing the top of
the continent to reaffirm Canadian
jurisdiction over that area and report
on a feasible route from Hudson bay
to the Mackenzie river.
The story of their performance Is a
recital of simple pluck and exploring
skill, a matter of fact carrying out of
orders without the lure of a prize like
the pole.
While the royal northwest mounted
police Is everywhere accepted as prob
ably the last word In police efficiency,
the popular conception In the United
States of the individual unit of this
corps is a trimly uniformed "Tommy
Atkins" sort of mounted soldier, giving
attention to the suppression of bad
men and "gun fighters" and protecting
the settlers from violence. All that
the police do, but more.
Advance Guard of Civilization.'
They are thrown out far ahead of
the northward advancing line of set
tlement When civilization catches up
with their outposts they move on.
Not many years ago the southern
portions of Manitoba, Alberta and Sas
katchewan were distant fields even for
the police.
Since Captain Bernler, a Canadian
explorer, discovered coal in Melville
Island the police are pushing a patrol
In that direction. ' If the coal Is worka
ble-and settlement or prospecting that
arctic neighborhood is forthcoming the
police with a well ordered system of
Justice will be on the ground first.
Only once were the police ever out
stripped by settlement, and that was
when gold was discovered In the Yu
kon. - '
Inspector Pelletler's duty on his lone
ly patrol reveals hardship that 'have.
no place in pictures of smart quads
and trim barracks with which the pub

than "Tommy Atkins" Is represented
by the far flung outposts of the po
lice, although perhaps it would be
more appropriate to compare the in
spector and his men with the early
voyagers.
Startod at Saskatchewan.
The patrol began at Fort Saskatche
wan and proceeded northward, partly
by steamer and partly by canoe, to
Great Slave lake. Skirting the shore
of this grerit body of water in canoes,
the travelers turned their course al
most east toward Hudson bay and
made their way by river and lake with
many portages, through almost unbro
ken wildernesses afflicted with the In
sect pests for which the north woods
are notorious.
' The party arrived on the shore of
Hudson bay with the expectation of
being able to lay aside the paddle and
ease calloused shoulders from the por
tage. But the sailboat which had been
provided was wrecked, and the police
were obliged to delay at Fullerton un
til winter snows permitted a start
with dog trains for the south. The
trip from Fullerton,' which is on the
sixty-second parallel, of latitude to
Churchill, 450 miles south, was at
tended by many hardships.
The amount of game observed by
the patrol was wonderful. Describing
the journey from Artillery lake to the
Height of Land, Inspector Pelletler
writes:
"Aided by the sails, we were making
good time, but were delayed by large
numbers of deer crossing at various
points. We must have seen between
20.000 and 40,000. The hills on both
shores were covered with them, and at
a dozen or more places where the lake
was from a half to a mile wide solid
columns of deer four or five abreast
were swimming across and so closely
that we did not like to venture through
them for fear of getting Into some
mlxup."
No Dry Clothes or Bod.
The inspector continue:
"The worst feature of a long Jour.
ney like this (we were forty-three
days) in a country where no fuel is
to be procured is the absolute Impos
sibility of drying clothes, bedding,
etc. The moisture from the body ac
cumulates, and there are no means to
dry clothing, to get rid of it In any
way, and every day see it harder to
put on In the morning and the bed
harder to get into at night until both
bedding and clothing become as stiff
a a board from the ke.
"It 1 a very uninviting, task and
disagreeable procedure getting into an
icy bed at night and the same thing
In the morning getting Into Icy clothes.
