until it became a town of over inhabi tants whoso ambitious dreams of be coming millionaires were all delusive because the discovery was made that neither silver nor copper to be found in sufficiently paying quanti ties When the P reached and passed the city its glowing aspira tions faded most of the citizens fol lowed the railroad search of future speculations so that now once lively scene is as solitary as Cold- smiths Deserted Village The duty of the Mounted Police in this locality was to watch and dis cover the devious ways of the whis key trader In the formation of the Constitution for the government of the North West Territories the lion Alexander Mac kenzie inserted a clause prohibiting the sale of drinks Knowing this many families among whose members Were those who found it hard to the temptation to drink by which they were surrounded in the went West to save them selves and their sons from the de plorable results of Canadas greatest curse Stipendiary Magistrates were

known as four per cent beer This was the end the wedge that up set prohibition in the North West all kinds of Intoxicating liquors under all names flowed in from all quar tets The next breach the Act was the allowance over nor ney of what is known as the Per mit System Any one who could get the name of a clergyman or a magistrate would he permitted to buy and sell quantities of liquor not exceeding two gallons Hundreds gallons were sold In villages and towns and many grievous complaints were made but when the police would make a raid on any locality they were always shown the two gallon Keg not quite empty and the Per mit The efforts of the police to sustain the law were completely neutralized by these two violations of the origin al act Prompted by the encourage ment of prominent gentlemen in Hie construction of the P the po lice were always on the alert for the protection the navvies who were tempted on every side The price they paid for the satisfaction of a single drink was twenty live cents and for each bottle of the five dollars To trader however an arrest was equally dear a two hundred dollar fine or six nouths hard in the guard room the detachment securing the the punishment getting half the fine if paid- With ten men on duty our sergeant was ordered on the of October to what was called the J Island British Columbia moving with and boarding the
