R. I". We, late of the Royal Canadian Mound Police, who spent four years in the Arctic in the vicinity of Hudson strait, were treated to a north, but which is not at all u had as me would paint it and which the most of us imagine. Capt. Montague told, in his own modest way, of the autumn of the country and its inhabitants as he saw it during his four years’ residence, and the whole substance of his address might be summed up as a eulogy of the Eskimaux, whom he found to be a very estimable people, highly intelligent, ac- complished, and one hundred per cent Canadian citizens. The popular fallacy that they were a race of degenerate: was discounted by Capt. Montague, and while their code of morals was not the same as ours, it was adhered to by the natives under penalty of death. The two great crimes in the north country were lying and stealing. Once found guilty of either of these, the penalty was death. It was true that they trad- ed wives. and practised polygamy, but the speaker had only to refer to civi- lization’s divorce courts to show that ferent way. Many of the murders reported from the north were not murders at all, as the speaker showed by one case he had investigated. A member of the tribe had gone insane, and, according to tribal custom, he was a menace and must be done away with. It was their age-old custom, and the penalty was not exacted without a trial by the council of the tribe. which delegated but it was a. tribal custom, had been enforced from time beyond the know- ledge of the white man, and the execu- tior; was never made without a tribal trial. It was the only thing to do in Old Ideas Dispelled The speaker did not agree at all with the findings of Steflanson, the explorer, that the Eskimaux did not live in snow igloos. His experience was that seven to eight months were spent in these finely made and warm houses, which could‘be built each day at the end of the trip, and built .so quickly that little inconvenience was felt. While the Eskimo was no mathe- matician he knew how to construct these dwellings, which were strong, durable and warm. and which served their purpose much better than any other kind of structure. The trouble with the older sections their Arctic. There were 22,000 Es- kimaux in the whole Arctic, 400 whites and only 12 policeman. The ques- tion had been raised as to why the Canadian governments had gone to the expense of looking after this vast fro- zen territory. but the Speaker explained that it was teeming with wealth and a hitherto unknown ore, was found to have on board over a. quarter million dollars’ worth of radium. This was only a. few days ago, and as time gm ,on it should not be surprising that the frozen north will become Canada’s most valuable portion of country. The Eskimo is a good Canadian.

Agricultural Society Held Annual Meeting Financial Statement Shows Owing to its being Wednesday, and a busy day for everybody around this office, we were unable to attend the annual meeting of the South Grey Ag- ricultural Society last week. Evidently a lot of other pe0ple were busy, too, as the meeting had a slim attendance, and was presided over by the president, John McGirr. prite the fact that, the entry list broke all previous records,‘ and the quality of the produce on dis- play was not surpassed in this vicinity. a falling ofi‘ in the gate receipts pre- vented the directors from meeting the increased prize list, which amounted 'last year to some $700, the mult beâ€" ing that only 50 per cent of the prize list was taken, up. Even with this, a deficit of $70 is reported by the finance committee. With their decreased finances, there was some discussion if it would not be' desirable to make the South Grey fair a solely county affair, or Open to the four surrounding townships, but no decision was arrived at and the matter Chmheflulehsm W‘m. ‘_°‘ will be left to the directors.
