POLICE PATROL WITHIN SHADOW OF NORTH POLE Official Reports of Royal Mounted Police Unfold Tale of Adventure Ottawa, Ont., March 15.--How .the Royal Canadian Mounted Po- lice--formerly styled the Royal North-West Mounted Police--con- tinue to uphold the authority of Canada up in the Arctic wastes, . thousands of miles from civiliza- tion, is told in .imple, - forward language in the annual report of that body which has just straight been made public. Patrols under- . taken within the shadow of the North Pole itself, demanding an absence of months from their base, involving treks over glaciers, through blinding blizzards and under conditions that call for the utmost endurance and hardihood, are recounted as a matter of Toutine duty, All the land lying north of the mainland of Canada has long since «= been claimed as the possession of Canada, and in order to assert her authority Canada sends those stal- wart constables to apply the laws , af the Dominion, to ouccore the * Eskimos, whom Canada has adopt- ed as her wards, when they are in need of help, to establish post of- fices and eustoms pests, and in general to administer in the name of the King that vast sub-continent that lies beyond the northern shares of this country, At Bache Peninsula, in Elles- 4 mere Land, is the most northerly outpost of civilization in the world. It is 700 miles south of the Pole, and stationed there are three men of the Royal Mounted, © with three native Eskimos families and a further animal equipment of 19 huskie dogs. They are housed in two small bug comfortable ' shacks for the natives, with living quarters, storehouse, blubber shed and other small constructions for the officers. The winter of 1926- 1927 was a mild one and such being the nature of communica- tions the most recent news from Bache Peninsula {is that of last hares jumped winter. Only one night did the thermometer g0 below 41; and cli matic conditions generally - were good. Perhaps it was this mild weather which inspired Sergeamt "Joy to undertake his trip directly across Ellesmere Land w two Eskimos, Ahkeeoo and Nookapeeungwak, covering a distange of 1,320 miles and doing it in 54 days. The story of the trip is told in plain, gen nished language, with no herdics and no superlatives. The party left Bache Peninsula at noon Constable Gar part of the way. Four dog' teams made up the four-footed part of the expedition. After 10 days the constable and his Eskimo returned to the base, and Sergeant Joy and his two natives 'continued their journey. The trip was one which brought out the great endurance of the white man and his natives, and the casual manner fm which circumstances are told form one of the most interesting features of the journal. "On the 6th (April) Nookapee- ungwak and Ahkeeoo walked in- land in search of ¢ariboo, while i made a further attempt to dry out clohting, During their 10-hour absence they killed four hares, and saw many cariboo tracks a few days old, but no cariboe." Many musk oxen avere seen; hares were plentiful, as were ptar- migan, while polar bears and wolves also put in occasional ap- pearance. The party replenished their larder from the results of a cariboo hunt, but the after-effects looked bad for a while. "While returning to camp with the cariboo on the K natik, two up from under the dog's feet; the dogs followed the hares like animals gone mad and took the komatik over a high cut bank into a bed of rocks, with bad results on the komatik, It took over a day to pug it in running order again," On April 16, the party ran into a blizzard while making towards a high cape. "We had barely cover- ed half the distance when the storm came on again, We reached the cape, but the storm made it al- most as dark kas mid-winter, and we were unable to see more than a few feet on land or ice, The storm continued until the morning of the 18th when the snow ceased drift- ing and the wind moderated to a strong breeze. Fogs and storms hecame an al- THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, most daily portion of their trip, but even in those exposed wastes there was vegetation. "Here and there a few tufts of grass, an occasional frozem Arctic poppy and a little heather were all the vegetation that could be seen within several hundred yards of the shore line. At this time we had only two feeds of dog pemmi- can for each team; our dogs were J thin and languid, and I decided to on our return journey im- mediately." However, the Eskimos re-stocked the cupboard with a large, bearded seal while a polar bear was also shot and fed to the dogs. Om the way back the food supply became more plentiful, but the storms and the fog continued. The sergeant found evidences that led him to believe that in that part of Elles- mere Land cariboo were increas- ing, but "they appear to be a very stupid animal, even more so than the barren ground cariboo. They are not afraid of men, nor are they much concerned over the noise made by a team or a number of teams of dogs hawling Eskimo dogs. For the latter reason it would be interesting to observe how they would act when being approached or stalked by wolves. The wolves must play havoc with such easy prey. And no doubt many die an- nually from starvation and sick- ness, for they are wretchedly poor in the spring and not all can be lucky enought to survive the win- ter, a living skeleton." The Hskimos worked very hard throughout the trip, and Sergeant Joy expresses appreciation of their good work. The patrol reached Bache Peninsula Post on May 18, 1927, after having travelled 1,820 miles, REACH QUEBEC CITY SAFELY BY CANOE Quebee, Mar, 15.--0dilon Prum- eau, his two sons, Rev.

Bay & Wellington Sts., TORONTO (Phone Elgin 3471) ESCAPED SLAVE DIED CENTENARIAN Lloyd Graves Made Perilous Trip North in 1842 St. Thomas, Ont., March 15.-- Attaining a grand old age in the security of a Canadian farmland, Lloyd Graves, one-time negro slave of Kentucky, died here recently, He reached his 104th birthday a week before his death at Mount Salem, and had been ailing only a few months. In 1842, at the age of 18 years, Graves decided to escape from serfdom, and made his way to Can- ada, Accompanied by another ne- gro called "No Account George," he made a long and perilous jour- ney northward. Travelling by night, hiding in barns and other outhouses by day, sometimes for days at a time, until the coast seemed clear, they proceeded along the Pawtucket River, through Cin- cinnati, and thence to Cleveland, They stowed ahoard a boat at Cleveland and headed across the lake for Port Stanley, Ont, Graves came on to St, Thomas, Ont., and was hired by a wholesale firm to drive their delivery wagon. He was with them for five years, and while he was in St. Thomas it some- how leaked back to Kentucky where he was. His former owner came up to St. Thomas promising Graves many concessions and the best of treatment in trying to per- suade him to go back. But the ex- slave decided to stay in Canada where his freedom was assured by law, Nearly 70 years ago, Graves moved to Mount Salenr and worked on farms. Sixty years ago last Au- gust he married and his aged wid- ow, who is an octogenarian, sur- vives. Mr. and Mrs. Graves had their own market garden, and made a success of it. Graves gave up gardening-a few years ago, but it was only recently that he ceas- ed his duties as caretaker of Mount Salem school, a position he had held for over a quarter of a century. MANITOBA BEES MAKE WHITE CLOVER HONEY PROSPEROUS SEASON Winnipeg, Man., March 15.-- The value of bees for the fertiliza- tion of field and garden crops, as well as for their nectar, was poin- ted out by L. Floyd, Provincial Apiarist, in a recent address here, in which he stated that the north- ern Manitoba honey contained a much larger percentage of white clover honey than was obtained in the south or east. The wintering of bees did no! trouble western bee-keepers, Mr. Floyd said. This was owing to the large trade im package bees which had developed in recent years with the extreme south of the United States. A gap in the honey this Hie a not to feel SOCIETY SCORES MIGRATION POLICY Charity Organization Criti- . cizes Slow Progress Bei Mad London, Mar. 15.--J. C. Pringle, Secretary of the Charity Organiza- tion Society in a letter to the Daily Telegraph voices criticism of mi- gration policies, and says, "It is impossible for anybody interested in the prospects of the rising gen- indignant ar he slow rate of progress of mov- ng people from this country to other parts of the Empire. We know great numbers of people de- sirous of going overseas and many others would be if the prospects were known. The only people showing energy and ingenuity in encouraging migration are the shipping companies. We are grate- ful for this but are left wondering for what purpose the Overseas Set- tlement Department was consti- tuted. Determined Policy Instead of a close alliance be- tween the Ministers of Health and Labor and the Overseas Settlement office, with a determined and ima- ginative policy of utilizing the par- llamentary migration grant to the last half penny, we have an offen- sive and defensive alliance between the Overseas Settlement and the Treasury haggling with the Do- minions and driving the hardest bargains they can with the volun- tary societies of this country.

PAGE THIRTEEN DENTAL RESEAR INEARLY STAGES More Funds Needed, States Speaker at Undergrad- uates' Banquet Montreal, Mar. 15.--Dental re- search is still in its early stages and there are wide fields for work there, undergraduates and gradu- ates of the Faculty of Dentistry were told Monday night at the an- nual banquet of the Dental Under- graduate Soclety of McGill Unl- versity held at the Windsor Hotel. The members of the first post- graduate course in dentistry to be given at McGill were present, one of thelr number being presented with a medal which was donated by Dr, R. L. Walsh, acting dean of the faculty, for the best essay on dental cysts, The winner, Dr. Roger E. Mec- Mahon, of Fourteenth avenue, La- chine, was announced by Dr. Char- les M. Proster, professor of oral surgery, of Tufts University, Bos- ton, who came to Montreal to judge the essays submitted by the members of the graduate class and to address the dental undergradu- ates. The winner read his essay to his fellow students and the guests present, Dr. Proctor stat ed that all the essays had revealed careful research and study, Dental Research Dr. Proctor delivered a paper on dental research, its relation to the dental student and to society. Discussing the lack of funds as a result of which research is re- tarded, Dr. Proctor saw three pos- sihle sources of revenue. There was the private endowment, the funds supplied by universities and dental societies, and governmental resources. He felt that there should be more of the latter, "Millions of dollars are avail- able for armies and navies, hut when money is asked fromy the Government to assist, for example, in the fight against cancer, no assistance {8 forthcoming," Dr, Proctor declared. Open-air schools for children needing special care hecause of tu- herculosis or malnutrition, have heen opened in Montevideo, Uruy- guay.
