The Iittle garrison sur- rendered. All were dicarmed and several were imprisoned .in Fort Schu. Dr. John Christian Schultz was born at Amherstburg, in Essex medicine at Queen's Kingston, Ont., graduating in 1862. Without delay he set out for the Red River" Settlement, then the far Canadian West, Having purchased the small press and very limited collection of type brought into the settlement for the Publishing of & newspaper called the "Nor-Wester," Ds. Schultz began the publication of a monthly magazine, filing many of its columns with his own contributions, some consisting of news, others of articles describing the country and encouraging its handful of struggling settlers. No mna in the settlement was bet- ter known to Riel and Kl¥ followers than was Dr. Schultz and wnea they had him a prisoner they thought it wise to guard him well, He was, therefore, placed In a room by him- If. Although winter was well ad- vanced, the room in which he was confined was without a fire, and 'he Was compelled to sleep on the floor. The doctor's family and friends were allowed to send him ia food, and one day, a pudding was passed by the guard, which the prisoner found had a knife and a gimlet. I'he buffalo skin, of which he made his bed, was cut into strips. That night Dr. Behults induced the guards to sleep outside the door of the pris- oner's room; and this, he knew, was the time for action. With the aid of the gimlet the line of buffalo hide was made tast to the wall, and removing the window of his room, he threw out the line, and then with greai difficulty managed «to squeeze his huge body througn the opening. But his ponderous weight Was too much for the Itne. It broke { and Dr. Schultz fell to the frozen | earth, a <distance of twenty feet, | severely injuring his hip. With pain- | ful effort, and after great labor, Dr. Schultz managed to scale the wall, and so reached the outside of the fort. } ~ This was January 28, the snow lay | fleep .on the prairie, the night was and tne piercing | wind whirled the powdery snow in | the refugee's face.

It was from his Aunt Susan down In Ontario, a maiden lady who bad taken an interest in him wnen he was a tall, raw-boned youth. As his their congratulations, the new soli- citor-general proudly exhibited the telegram, and pledged himself to act on her advice. In his youth he worked as a hired man for a Scotch. farmer, who kept him going from four in the morning until ten at night; bui even as a farm laborer 'Ed.

A racy incident in connection with the escape of William Lyon Mac- ! kenzie from Toronto to the frontier after his defeat In 1837 was related recently by Mrs. Colin H. Campbell of Winnipeg, wife of the former At- torney-General of Manitoba," and a daughter of a pioneer of Halton county. The story came in, the | course of an address to the metibers of the'Council of Trafalgar township when portraits of some of the early Reeves of the, township were pre- sented at a ceremony at Trafalgar. Mrs. Campbell's father, the late Dr. Anson Buck, was a member of the Council of Trafalgar for no less than 400 years, and the whole of that part of Halton county has interesting con- nections with early {transportation in Upper Canada and with the escape of Mackenzie, { Mrs. Campbell, in speaking of the Philip Triller homestéad, near Tra- falgar, said she. remebered Jt as a large ¢oleuial frame- house, paint- ed yellow. . "It has historical inter- : ost," she said; "4n that in 1837 when there 'Was & m for the 'rebel' leader, William Lyon Mackenzzie; he | was safely housed for three days and nights under this hospitable and triendly roof. When the officers of | the Government were searching for Mackenzie they were so charmingly entertained by the seven beautiful daughters of the household that the great Mackenzie aided by Mr. Triller, made his escape, not before, however, he wis 'directed whether to go and was provided with rations as he made his way to-George Ghent's, at Free- man, and Gilebrt Davis', near Bur- | Mington station, from which place .he made his escape, disguised as a wo- man, in Miss Rachael Dayis' gown and bonnet.

As the outcome of a meeting held in the Central Y.M.C.A. Hall, To- ronto, all. the. prohibitionist-. foi of Canada were united in one great | federation. Delegates were present from fifteen organizations. They | came from as far as Nova Scotia in| the east and British Columbia in the | west. They united to form the Pro-! hibition Federation of Canada. | Chancellor Whiddon of McMaster Un- Iversity was elected as the nrst presi- dent of tne Federation. It was feit that the chancellor's experience in the Western Provinces, together with } his knowledge of Parliamentary | life acquired-in the War Parliament, would be important assets in the Federation's councils. Two vice- | presidents have been elected, whose | acceptance Is understood. They are! G, A. Warburton and Mrs, Gordon | Wright. No salaried secretary is! being appointed at present because the new o¥ganization is to be a Fed- | eral body, the work of which will be! largely carried on through: existing | units and existing offices.

Rev. ! D. N. MacLachlan of the Presbyter- | lan Church, Dr. W. T. Gunn of the | Congregational Church, and Dr. | Ernest Thomas of the Methodist Board. In addition, 'George Lees, of | Hamilton will act af treasurer. | The Federation will include: (a) Nation-wide church organizations; | (b) Nition-wide organizations op- | posed to liquor; (e¢) such provincial | organizations as shall be recognized | by the Federation a¥ representing the | unified prohibition force of the pro- | The two former groups will be represented by five delegates each, while latter will each elect two dele- gates. The churches will also elect one additional delegate for every fifty thousand members over the first fifty thousand. The Federation will aim at the securing of prohibition; both in the Provincial'ind in the Federal sphere. Considerable attention was given also to the political outlook fn each province. On every side the strongest expressions of confidence in the ex- isting Ontario Government were made. There was general recognition that under the Hon. W. ¥. Nickie the law is being enforced as vigorously as under the previous regime. -------------- The Red River of the North. The Red River, or the Red River of the North (as it is call- ed to distinguish it from the Red River of Louisiana), has a length of about 700 miles. Rising in tue lake region of the west-central portion of Minnesota,--not far from whege the Mississippi has its source,--the Red River flows in a northerly direction, and forms the boundary between North Dakota and Minnesota, En- tering the Province of Manitoba, {t continues northward, and empties into Lake Winaipeg. The Valley ot the Red River is one of the greatest wheat-growing Legions in the world Levanse of the fertile soil which was depodited long ago both by ice-sheets of the glacial and by a large prehistoric, , &nown. as Lake Agassiz. In many places along its course this river (a3 well as its trib- utaries) has cut channels from 20 to 50 feet deep through the rich clayey soll. Water power has been developed to a consideralile extent on its tributaries. From Brecken- ridge, Minn., to the international boundary line,--a distance ot a little over 396 miles --the channel of the Red River has been improved by the United States Governmeut; and the river sometimes rises high enough to allow small steamers to £0 up the south-west branch as far as Lake Traverse, and from there to go down the Jinsesots River to the Missis- sipp!
