With that end in view brief sketches are also given of the history of Prince Albert, Battleford, and the other settlements. Had circumstances permitted more space would have been devoted to this latter subject Advertisements of the different business interests in the District are also included, and reference is made to the ranching and other industries. A view of Battleford, I regret to say, is not included among the others, owing to the fact that I was unable to secure a good photograph of that town. Steps will be taken, however, to do Battleford full justice in the next edition of this book. As is always the case with the first edition of a work of this kind, a few omissions and typographical en-ors have occurred. The former con- sist principally of some facts in the history of Prince Albert and Battle- ford, and were the result of an effort to condense ; the latter are of no consequence. Those who have spent a number of years in the Saskatchewan district, are conversant with its great natural advantages, and take an interest in its development, cannot fail to look upon this book, with all its short- comings, as destined to accomplish, to some extent at least, the objects for which it is published. As for myself, I yield to no man in admiration for the Saskatchewan country and in faith in its future agricultural and commercial pre-eminence. To our Board of Trade, particularly the worthy President, and other officers ; and Mr. James Scott, of Qu'Appelle, Assa., who have rendered me valuable assistance, I beg to tender my sincere thanks.

E. Dewdney (whose portrait appears on the opposite page) is Lt.-Governor, is 310,000 square miles, almost the whole of which is suitable for settlement, and large areas of which are rich in timber, minerals and grazing lands. Besides this there is a vast extent of territory lying to the north, including Athabasca, as yet almost unknown, of which large areas will doubtless be found to be equally rich in timber, minerals, and well adapted for settlement. Hon. David Laird, of Prince Edward Island, was the first Lt.-Gover- nor of the Northwest Territories, having been appointed on the 7th of October, 1876. Lt.-Col. Eichardson (now Chief Justice Eichardson), the late Matthew Kyan, and Lt.-Col. J. F. McLeod (now Judge McLeod), Stipendiary Magistrates, together with the Lt.-Governor, comprised the first Northwest Council. A. E. Eorget was appointed Clerk of the Council, which position he still holds, and Battleford was chosen as the seat of Government. The first session of the Council was held at Livingstone, Swan River, in March, 1877. The second, third and fourth sessions were held in Battleford, the latter in May and June, 1881. On the 3rd of December, 1881, the Hon. Edgar Dewdney succeeded Mr. Laird as Lt.-Governor and the seat of Government was removed to Eegina. The fifth session of the Council was held in Eegina, commencing on the 20th of August and ending on the 4th of October, 1883. A session has been held each year since. The first member of the Council who was chosen by popular vote was Lawrence Clarke, Chief Factor of the Hudson's Bay Co., Fort Carleton, who was elected to represent the District of Lome (Prince Albert) on the 25th of March, 1881. Since then the elected members have gradu- ally increased, and the necessity for the establishment of responsible government has become so pressing, that the boon is almost certain to be granted at the next session of the Dominion Parliament. When we consider the vast extent of the territories, the compara- tively brief time that has elapsed since they became ^artof the Dominion, and make allowances for the ditficultics of opening them up, it must be admitted that their progress has been unprecedented in the history of America. True, the credit of the country has been drawn upon in any- thing but a gingerly spirit in order to develop them, but the result 8o far has been, as was expected, to greatly strengthen all the resources of the Dominion, while the future will not fail to convince more than ever all Canadians of the wisdom of acquiring the Northwest Territories. The Canadian Pacific Railway has, of course, been the great colonizing agent. Without it settlement would have been impossible, and the North- west would have remained almost as it was. It, however, is but a very 16 SASKATCHEWAN DIRECTORY. — SASKATCHEWAN. indirect assistance to the development of the Saskatchewan country, the best portion of the Northwest. Indeed, but that we are Canadians, and hold national paramount to provincial interests, we might not scruple to complain of its having turned the tide of immigration away from us. It is to be hoped, however, that the government of the Dominion will take steps to secure us railway communication in the near future, not only with the east, but with Hudson's Bay. To this latter the commerce of the Saskatchewan country should flow as naturally as do the waters of the great river from which it derives its name. By the opening of this route also the whole Northwest would be brought into closer commercial relationship with the Old Country.

SASKATCHEWAN DIRECTORY. — SASKATCHEWAN. 17 Saskatchewan . Saskatchewan is the hirgest of the three provisional districts into which that portion of the Northwest Territories lying south of the o5th parallel of latitude, and west of Manitoba and east of British Columbia, has been divided. Its area is 1 14,000 square miles, that of Alberta 100,000, and that of Assiniboia 95,000. It is b?unded on the east by the Nelson liiver. Lake Winnipeg, and Manitoba ; on the South by Manitoba and Assiniboia, on the west by Alberta, and on the north by Keewatin, It is larger than Manitoba, nearly twice as large as Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island combined. It is nearly twice as large as England and Wales, and almost as large as England, Scotland and Ireland, and is capable of sustaining an equal population. It derives its name from the Saskatchewan river, the two branches of which take their rise in the T'.ocky Mountains, and passing through Alberta and Assiniboia, enter the district from the south and west, form a junction about thirty miles east of Prince Albert, and empty their united waters into Lake Winnipeg at Grand Rapids. This river is known to be navi- gable for boats of light draught as far west as Edmonton on the North Branch, and Lethbridge on the South Branch, and drains a larger area of fertile territory than any river in the Empire. Of the early history of the country now forming the District it is not necessary to speak at length. Its original inhabitants were the Indian tribes, the descendents of whom are now confined to reserves set apart by the Doniinion Government. The first whiteraen to enter the country were the French voyageurs and traders, of which latter the Metis are the descendents. With the voyageurs came the French missionaries, who established missions at different points and succeeded in converting many of the Indian tribes. The advent of the Hudson's Bay Company is scarcely less remote, and with its amalgamation with the Northwest Trading Company the whole fur trade of the Great Lone Land passed into their hands. The first trading post established inland was Cumber- land, over a century ago. By degrees others were established, until they were scattered throughout the length and breadth of the vast territory, and the Chief Factors exorcised a sort of autocratic sway. Within the last quarter of a century, however, the march of civilization has lessened tlieir prestige, and the trading monopoly they formerly enjoyed has ceased to exist, except in the far north, and even theie it is being disputed. The first settlements formed in the Saskatchewan District, apart from those immediately surrounding Hudson's Bay Company posts, were Prince Albert, in 18G6 ; St. Laurent, in 1873, Battleford, in 1874, and Saskatoon, in 188o. As will be seen. Prince Albert and St. Laurent were established before the Canadian Pacific liailway was undertaken, and were making good progress before that great national higliway .^ 18 SASKATCHEWAN DmECTORY. — SASKATCHEWAN. tr.'i^, ■'M commenced to divert immigrants to the southern portion of the Northwest. Battleford had no existence previous to the original survey of the Cana- dian Pacific and its selection as the headquarters of the telegraph con- structor. It, however, as well as the other settlements in Saskatchewan, has continued to prosper, though not as rapidly as they would have had not national considerations forced the present Government to change the route of our transcontinental highway. Physical Features. Speaking of the Saskatchewan country generally, in his pamphlet issued in 1883, Wm. Laurie says: — " Skirting along the valley of the North Saskatchewan from its source in the mountains throughout almost its entire length the lumberman's eyes are gladdened by the apparent endlessness of the forest." of pine and spruce ; underlying which are coal-fields far exceeding in area those in the east, and destined to keep the inhabitants of the treeless prairies in fuel for generations yet to come. The agriculturalist has far to seek ere he finds richer or more productive soil than abounds here ; nutritious grass of the most luxuriant growth will afford sustenance for the myriad herds of the stock-raiser ; iron mines await development ; the beds of all our streams abound in gold, while indisputable evidence is forthcoming of the existence in paying quantities of silver, tin and lead ; salt springs innumerable produce a finer quality of this valuable mineral than any of the liow well known centres ; gypsum beds, tar and petroleum springs, and quarries of useful stone are scattered over the country ; while in the far north, as yet unpenetrated by civilization, the fur trade is still pros- perous. These are things which are known to exist, and when it is con- sidered how long they remained undiscovered, it is but fair to assume that a few years more will reveal other treasures, equally valuable, still hidden from the knowledge of men." The picture given by Mr. Laurie is not overdrawn. If his knowledge of the country is not all gleaned from actual experience — and he has had a wide experience — it is based on the observations of others, and correct in every particular. But however skeptical some may be inclined to be regarding the variety and extent of the mineral resources of the Sas- katchewan — and there are those who will doubt in the face of the most convincing evidence — there can be no question as to its great wealth in timber and its agricultural capabilities. The experience of farmers during the past twenty years in the settlement of Prince Albert, and of thosti of Battleford and other settlements of more recent date, has fully proved that the soil of the Saskatchewan country is equal in richness tc that of any country, and that timber for all purposes exists within easy distances and in inexhaustible quantities. Every grain, every vege- table, common to Manitoba is produced in Saskatchewan ; strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, blueberries, blackberries, gooseberries, currants, and other wild fruit ripen in almost every quarter; flowers of all SASKATCHEWAN DIRECTORY. — SASKATCHEWAN. 19 era of to isy ge- ies, varieties and colort) bloom from early in spring to the end of August. There is no lack of vegetation of every kind, except in dry seasons where the soil is a little too sandy. This rarely occurs, however ; besides it is a difficulty any farmer can overcome by a proper system of cultivation. Frost, Etc. As to the climate, the reports so industriously circulated that summer frosts destroy our grain and that winter frosts are so severe that there is neither comfort for man or beast, are as fictitious as Kider Haggard's most fictitious productions. Blizzards may be the offspring of the north winds, but they commit their depredations on the prairie. They pass harmlessly over the woo( d Saskatchewan country, and swoop down on the unprotected prairies of the southern country. Frosts we have, but men and beasts live, move and have their being in the midst of winter, and the fact remains to be recorded of either having been frozen in this country where ordinary care was taken, and those that have been frozen under any circumstance are few. Summer frosts! Well, sometimes they strike us in a low spot. But do they never visit southern or eastern latitudes, and if they destroy our grain, and winter frosts deny us comfort, tell us, ye vendors of news, how is that we, who love prosperity and comfort, who are highly cultivated, if you will, con- tinue to linger in this region. Grasshoppers have never penetrated the Saskatchewan country, and the gophers common to this region are not the destructive pests found in the prairie country. They are what are known as the wood gopher, and live in the wooded districts. They have never touched the crops, nor are they likely to so long as the food they have been accustomed to in the past does not give out, a very improbable occurrence. The reader, however, is not required to place explicit reliance on the statements contained in these pages. There are hundreds of intelligent settlers in the district, whose names appear in the directory portion of this book, who can be referred to for information. They have lived here for different periods, follow different occupations, and — the best evidence possible of their prosperity — have gathered their friends around them in a region far removed from a railway, evidently believing that it is easier to face a surplus in a fertile, though temporarily isolated, country, than a shortage in a barren one, no matter how near the railway. Prince Albert District. The developments made with regard to the Saskatchewan country since the Great Northwest became a portion of the Dominion, and ex- plorers have examined and reported upon it, have effectually exploded the opinion previously held that it was a land of almost perpetual winter, that its summers were too short for cereals to ripen, and that it was only fit for habitation by Indians and wild beasts. I confess that when I first started for this country, some years ago, I was filled with a feeling some- thing akin to dread. I imagined I was going from a land of comfoiu and ^^.if 20 SASKATCHEWAN DIRECTORY. — SASKATCHEWAN. civilization to a region of disuomfort? and' hardships. The familiar scenes of my boyhood days in the good old County of York, Ontario, loomed up before me, and I began to fear that I would never view their like again. Its green hills and valleys, its woods and glens, its lakes and streams, its herds of horses and cattle, and bleating sheep, its fields of waving grain and pleasant country homes, seemed to me to have no equal. I was mistaken, however. In this country I, as well as others who approached in fear and trembling, found not only all that a reason- able man would expect in the way of comfort in a new country, but a great deal more. I found a land far excelling Ontario in richness of scenery and soil ; I found pleasant country homes, fields of grain, and herds of horses, cattle and sheep, flowers, shrubbery, trees and immense forests;! found that if cold weather came earlier in the fall, seeding commenced much sooner than in Ontario, and that the hardships of the early pioneers of that Province were much greater than those of this district. Four years have elapsed since then, during which I have been witness of the prosperity and gradual increase of the settlers. Homes have sprung up on every side, fields and cattle have multiplied, and the scene is quite as homelike as in the older settled provinces. Schools have been established in all the settlements in the district, and churches in the most of them. The fourth annual exhibition of the Lome Agricultural Society, which took place last fall in Prince Albert, was much larger than many of the county fairs of Ontario. Thoroughbred stock, sheep, swine and poultry, were numerous, while grain and vegetables of every kind, homemade cheese and butter, were exhibited from the different settlements that would have done credit to any place. Over $1,100 worth in mon$y and prizes were awarded at the exhibition, the moiit given in the Notthwest for a like purpose. The settler is safe in locating almost anywhere in this district. As it is easy to secure good land in the vicinity of the town of Pnnce Albert, however, he would be foolish to locate elsewhere. Shell River, about fifteen miles north-west of this town, is, without doubt, the best field for settlement in the district. But on all sides of this town there is good land, with abundance of grass, timber, and fresh water, and it is always wise to settle as near as possible to saw and grist mills, threshing and crushing machines, stores, banks, churches, etc., and a good market with a prospect of being close by a city in the near future. Prices are much lower than one would expect, being a very small ad- vance on Winnipeg prices. Everything necessary for a farming outfit can be procured in this town. A settler should, however, bring a yoke of cattle or a team of horses, a wagon, and a few milch cows, poultry, etc. A good log house can be built for a small cash outlay, and timber for fencing and fuel costs next to nothing. This is the country for the man with little means, who wishes to commence farming. It is also the rancher's paradise, where blizzards come not, and the grass never fails. SASKATCHEWAN DIRECTORY. — SASKATCHEWAN. 21 s. Battleford District. That there is ahundance of good land and that the climate is favour- able to the maturity of grain and root crops in the Battleford District, was abundantly proved by the display made at the Agricultural Exhibi- tion held last fall in the town of Battleford. I speak now from personal observation, and as a disinterested witness, save and except as a lover of the truth, I am anxious that justice should triumph, and that Battle- ford district should be placed before the public in its true light. At the exhibition referred to samples of grain and roots were displayed that would have done credit to any place in Canada. It is true there was not a large amount of grain exhibited owing to the fact that farmers had not concluded threshing, but enough was exhibited to prove that farming can be made a success in the Battleford district. Wheat, oats, barley, peas, and tlax were exhibited, all of which were of lirst-class (quality. The wheat and tlax were particularly good, the production of the latter uninjured, thus giving a Hat contradiction to the assertion that tlax will not, owi;g to early frosts, come to maturity in the Saskatchewan country. Among the roots exhibited I noticed potatoes, carrots, turnips, mangle- wurtzels, parsnips, pumpkins, beets, onions, cabbage, celery, citrons, toma- toes, etc., all of which spoke more eloquently than I can hope to of the fertility of the soil and the favourableness of the climate for the produc- tion of all kinds of field and garden products. The display of horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry was not large, though some of the exhibits made under these heads were very good. It must be remembered, however, that the farmers are only commencing to recover from the very serious losses they sustained during the s])ring of the rebellion, many having lost all their cattle, and the most of them being badly crip|)led financially. There are, however, thoroughbred and other cattle coming in each year now, and soon not only will lost cattle be replaced, but countless herds of improved cattle, horses and sheep will be feeding on the nutritious grass of the valleys, ravines and hills of the Battleford district. To find a suitable location the immigrant is not obliged to go out- side the present limits of the settlement. Immediately surrounding the town, and within a radious of fifteen miles, farms are to be had. Houses can be built at little cost, fencing and fuel can be had for a mere trifle. It costs very little to keep cattle, as may be seen by reference to the list of ranchers in another part of this book, while the risks are few. The only drawback is the lack of railway communication, and this dis- advantage is common to the whole of Saskatchewan. The time is not far oil', however, when railway communication will be established with the east, when the cattle reared on the nutritious grass of this region will command a ready sale in foreign markets. In the mean time there is no reason why every farmer should not have more or less improved stock. Everything a farmer requires can be purchased in Battleford at reason- able prices. 99 SASKATCHEWAN DIRECTORY. — SASKATCHEWAN. ,l!lr I: .lil: Crop Report for 1887. Since the spring of the rebellion, when most the settlers suffered such a severe loss, the struggle has been a hard one. The jear of the out- break no crop was put in, and the next year, unfortunately, was too dry, and only those who pursued a proper system of cultivation — a small pro- portion of the settlers — hfid good crops. Last year the yield of dilferent kinds of grain throughout the district of Saskatchewan was greater than in any previous year. The season, contrary to the general rule, was too wet in the early part, which had the effect of prolonging vegetation beyond the usual term, and ripening season too far into the autumn, thus endan- gering the crops, particularly the wheat seeded upon low ground. Owing to this fact some fields of wheat were frost-bitten. None of the wlieat, however, or, at least, a very small portion of it, was rendered unfit for grinding, and the greater portion was secured in a good condition. The yield per acre was also up to the average for this district, and nothing inferior to that of any part of Canada. The yield of oats was in some cases unparalled by any I remember hearing of in the most favoured of climates. The quality was also excellent. Barley yielded largely, and the sample, as a rule, was as good as could be wished for. Peas — of which there was but a small area sown — were good. The reason there was such a small area of this grain sown was probably owing to the fact that swine, as yet, are not numerous enough to create a market for any quantity. Some flax was sown in the district, and the result set at rest forever all doubt as to whether that grain would mature in this region, the sample shown at the Battleford agricultural exhibition being pronounced equal to flax produced in any country. There is, in fact, less doubt as to its maturing than almost any other grain, as it can be sown as early and ripens much sooner. The only difficulty in the way of its produc- tion is the one that applies to the production of other products in larger quantities than the district requires — no outlet to eastern markets. Following is a statement of the yield per acre of the different grains for the district of Saskatchewan for the year 1887 : Wheat, 831 25 12,875 Barley 1,559 30 46,770 52,070 Oats,. 1,602 30 35 Total, 3,996 111,715 Besides which the Indians had under cultivation about 2,500 acres, the average yield per acre from which area would be about the same. In 1885 the total number of acres given as occupied were 505,953 ; cultivated, 19,545; broken, 10,600 ; seeded, 5,956. The area given as seeded in the latter case includes that devoted to other products than wheat, oats and barley, allowing for which in the former case would bring the total area seeded in 1887 much higher than that of 1885. SASKATCHEWAN DIKECTORY. — SASKATCHEWAN. 23 luc- to the ;hau The area given as seeded last year, however, is only approximated from the amount of seed wheat given out by the Government, with a small allowance made for seed grain from other sources, and, doubtless, is below the mark. What the farmer in most interested in is the average yield of wheat, barley, and oats per acre. Now I am of the opinion that the average given above, while correct as an average, does not do justice to the soil of Saskatchewan, and I will give my reasons. Farming is more or less a science. The soil may be ever so good, and yet an ignorant, careless farmer will fail to raise any- thing but a poor crop. He does not properly prepare the soil, he never summer-fallows or studies whether manure is required ; he is care- less of both the seed and manner of seeding, he lets weeds of all kinds grow among the grain, absorbing nourishment properly belonging to it, and preventing it from ripening much sooner than it would under other conditions. Worse than this, he does not select the field most elevated and affording the longest possible sunlight each day, but seeds in a low or shaded locality. In Saskatchewan there are farmers who never fail to have a good crop of wheat, oats and barley, for the reason that they farm on proper principles. There are many, the great majority, I am sorry to say, who always have poor crops, for the reasons I have given, and when an average is struck from the products of good and bad farming the inevitable result is that the country is placed in a false light before the world. The average yield per acre among the best of our farmers — and even they have room for improvement — last year was fully 25 per cent more than the figures given above. Populate this country with the same class as our best farmers and the result will be that Saskatchewan will stand second to no other in five years as a wheat producing country. The yield of vegetables per acre last year was fully up to the average for which Saskatchewan is noted. In this particular class we cannot be sur- passed. Potatoes, beets, turnips, carrots, parsnips, cabbage, cauliflowers, pumpkins, citrons, etc., seem to overgrow themselves, yet are perfectly sound. Corn and tomatoes were also raised, and it is only a (question of time when their production will be quite equal to the demands of the the country. A little extra care is all that is required. Population. The population of Saskatchewan according to the census was 10,.595. Prince Albert district was credited with, 5,373 ; Battleford, 3,603, and Carrot River, 1,770. If the increase in population since 1885 has not been very large — not much more than the birth rate — the reasons are not far to seek. With- out railway communication with the east we cannot expect immigrants. The increase above the birth rate has been almost confined to the friends of our citizens. It is, at the same time the strongest evidence of the fitness of this country for settlement. People^as a rule, do not encourage their friends to settle in a country where they cannot prosper. 24 SASKATCUEWAN DIRECTORY. — SASKATCnEWAN. Stock. By the census of 1885 the total number of horses and colts in the district of Saskatchewan was 3,061 ; working oxen, 822 ; milch cows, 1,985 ; other horned cattle, 2,893; sheep, 531, of which Battleford was credited 1 ; swine, 1,394 ; mules. 22. The horses have more than doubled since then ; cattle have increased three fold, and sheep more than six fold. Swine have not incresed so rapidly as might have been expected, but the indications are that the next few years will witness a large addition to their numbers. I am happy to be able to state that Battleford district shares very largely in this increase, and that to the one sheep many others have been added. Animal Products. In the same census the yearly output of dairy products for the District of Saskatchewan was placed at: — Butter, 84,223 lbs.; cheese, 3,557. Of this amount Carrot River, though credited with 61 milch cows, was not credited with producing one pound. Whether the census was correct or not I am not prepared to say. At present however, and during the last two years, I know that a very large percentage of both those products comes from that settlement, and that the output is increasing every year, Tlie total increase under these heads throughout the district cannot have been less than one hundred per cent. Industries of Saskatchewan. Following is a table showing the number of Industries carried on in Saskatchewan, hands employed, capital mvested, total yearly wages, value of raw material, and value of articles produced. In some cases it is im- possible to give anything more than approximate figures. The value of the wheat entering the mills may fairly be taken as the number of bushels multiplied by 75 Gi-.txts. The value of the tlour ground will be the number of bags or barrels of floui*roultiplied by the market price, which varies according to grade and demand. About $3 per bag is the aver- age. Otherwise tiie tablo is com])iled from information gathered during my trip througli the district last fall and is as correct as it was possible to make it. As will bo seen, the totals given for 1885 and tlie totals for 1887 vary materially, thus showing that not only iu population, agriculture, and mercantile stn>ngtli luis the district progressed, but that every other industry has rajiidly develojied. Of this increase Battleford contributes a very creditable percentage, considtM-ing that the town is a shorter period in existence, its population much smaller, and, const'quently, the reciuiremeuts of that district not so great.

THE J^RNCHING IflDUSTf^V. Though the ranching industry of the Saskatchewan country received a very severe check in the spring of 1885, particularly in the Battleford district, within the last two years it has not only recovered itself, but has assumed much larger proportions than most people in this country are aware of. Every year for the last three years there has not only been a natural increase, but there has been a great number imported. There is no longer any question as to this country being adapted for stock raising. The better it becomes known the more its fitness for that pur- ])0se becomes apparent. Immense tracts of hay land are not only to be found south of the Saskatchewan, capable of sustaining countless herds, but on the north side, and extending as far as the boundary of the district, are also to be found areas of hay land capable of sustaining all the cattle on the American ranches. Fresh water is also abundant, and the country being more or less wooded, protection is afforded to the cattle. The argument in favour of the south as a ranching country has always been that the winters are warmer and that cattle did not need protection. The results of carrying out that system, however, would seem to lead to the opposite conclusion. We, of course, have no herds comparing in numb(;rs to those turned out on the shelterless plains of the south. Our ranching interest is just emerging from the state of infancy, and donning the garb of youthful healthiness. The experience of our ranchmen so far, however, has proved that while even in this northern country cattle can exist through the winter without any artiiicial shelter, and without being hay fed, it pays better to erect comfortable sheds and feed hay a couple or three months in the winter. They have found that the difference in the condition of the animals in the spring more than pays for the cost of keeping, and no risks are run from e .posure. Indeed the death of an animal from exposure, under ordinary circumstances, has yet to be chronicled. Whether this system could be adopted successfully with regard to herds of more than two or three hundred may be doubted. The conclusion seems reasonable, however, that if two or three hundred cattle can be successfully wintered by that system, a larger number could be wintered in the same way. The rage for unwieldy herds, in any case, is dying out, ranclnneu in the south having learned from bitter exi>erience that stock require to be cared for during winter. One pleasing feature, and one which augurs well for the future of the ranching interests of this district, is the fact that large numbers of thoroughbred cattle have been import*. H, farmers and ranchmen having awakeneci to the fact that if they would make it ])ay they must have good stock. It will, of course, take time to improve the stock, every farmer not being able to j)urchase thoroughbred stock. Speaking on this subject at the dinner given at the Queen's Hotel, I'rince Albi-rt, by ihe I.orne District Agricultural Society, last fall, Mr. Chas. llobertson, Tresidentof the Carrot liiver Agricultural Society, said: — SASKATCHEWAN DIRECTORY. — SASKATCHEWAN. 27 IV (5 oil I'y .n, " It is a mistake to suppose that the native cattle could not be improved. My opinion is that the native cattle can be improved much easier than the native cattle of the eastern provinces ; that five years will suffice to make them equal to any in the country. We have the fodder in the shape of abundance of luxuriant grass, which can be had for the cutting, while in the older piovinces cattle had to be fed on timothy and turnips. 1 am a pioneer for the third time, first in Quebec, then in Ontario, and thirdly in Saskatchewan, and 1 have no hesitation in saying that for cattle raising and general farming the Saskatchewan country is superior of either Quebec or Ontario." This is the opinion of one of the most intelligent and enterprising farmers in the Northwest, and should be a source of'encouragument to those who have native cattle. About 1,000 head of cattle are recpiired each year for beef in the district thus ailbrding a good market for steers aud other fat cattle. Horse ranching is, as yet, in its infancy in Saskatchewan, though a number of thoroughbred stallions and brood mares have been imported. Only one ranche has been establishd, that of McFarlane Bros., a few miles east of Battleford. This firm a coujjle of years ago imported two Perche- ron stallions and a number of brood mares, and have now (^nite a large band of fine general purpose horses. This is the grade of luases best adapted to tlie country, being useful in the plough, buckboard, saddle or carriage, and easily kept. Hoi'ses are cared fur during the winter on the ranches the same way as the cattle. Those who ha"e only a few head stable them all the time. A few yeais will aid largely to the num- ber of ho. e ranches as well as imjn'ove the breed. Sheep ranching is an iiulustry which has develoi)ed greatly witliin a very short period in this district. The country is also eminently adapted for that ])urpose, the grass being rich, and abundance of fresh water being found almost anywhere. The sheej) are let run during the tine winter weather, but are housed and fed in low sheds or nunc wind-breaks (luring stormy weather. The cost of sheltor amounts to comitaratividy little, and the cost of feeding them does not amount to more than the value of the wool on each animal. The grade of sheej) best ada]itcd for this country, and the grade most numerous hcii', are the line-wool Merinos. Tho number of sheep in thect>uiitry in 1885 was r)l-{4. At the end of last year they numbered 3,000. At this rate of increase in five years there v/ill Ik; bO.OOO sheep in Saskatchewiin, yielding 'J50,0(H) pounds of Wool. The loss by death other than by the butcher's knil'e has been less than a ([uarter jier cent, while in Mtuitanalast year it was over fifty per cent., the dilVeronce being accounteil for by the fact that otir sheep are sheltered and fed in severe weather, whih; sheep in Montana are left to the nu'rcy of the blizzards and cyclones common to that country. Swini! and poultry have not increased very rajiidly, and there is room for very large additions to their numbers. 28 SASKATCHEWAN DIRECTORY. — SASKATCHEWAN. CEHEt^Rli FARMING. While stock raising is a perfectly safe business in the Saskatchewan country to a man of means, general farming is the best adapted to the circumstances of the average settler, and is the best in the general interest. Large herds of cattle mean large areas uncultivated. What is wanted in this country is a jjopulation of general farmers, who will make the cultivation of the soil their chief aim, while at the same time they will nut forget tlie advantages to be derived from the possession of a few head of horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. Butter, cheese, eggs, beef, mutton, pork, and poultry are always saleable at good prices. Good prices are also obtainable for grain. Settlers who ado])t this system cannot fail to prosper, and they are always indepen- dent. Tliey have always enough for themselves and to sj)are. What capital does it take to commence general farming in this country, is asked ? 1 answer, very little. The best farmers hero commenced with almost nothing. Five hundred dollars will go further here than $1,500 i?i a ])rairie country. Timber for all purposes is plentiful, and a good log house and stable can bo built very cheaply. Fencing costs only the labour. Horses, oxen, cows and sheep, wagons, ploughs, etc., can be purchased in I'rince Albert. The immigrant, however, should bring all he rei^uires with him, together with all his friends and neighbors. ( G.

As with others so with the town of Prince Albert, it had a beginning, and with no misgiv- ings as to its future, no apologies for its past, I propose to give a brief sketch of its history. I may not be correct in all my details, it being no easy matter to be strictly accurate when written records are not to be Lad and the memory of the "oldest settler" is faulty. I hope, nevertheless, to be able to give a not uninteresting outline of its progress from the date of its foundation to the present time. In 186G, twenty-two years ago, the late Eev. James Nesbit, a Presby- terian minister from Kildonan, Manitoba, arrived at Fort Carlton, on the North Saskatchewan, then the headquarters of what was know as the trading district of Carlton. The object of his coming was to establish a mission in connection with the church of which he was a minister. In company with him was the Kev. John McKay, now stationed at Assis- sippi. Shell liiver, who was conversant with the Cree language, and who was to act as his interpreter. At the time of their arrival the H. B. Co.'s council was in -ssion, and on making known his object he was advised to go further down the river to a temporary trading post the Company then had a short distance east of the third meridian. Acting on this advice the rev. gentleman proceeded to the point indicated, and after a careful survey of the surroundings, took up a claim about two miles further east, or what is now known as river lot 7b, Prince Albert survey. The tirst year he built a mission house, which still stands on the corner of River and Church streets and is occupied as a bankinghouse by Macarthur & Knowles. True to that unyielding spirit of loyalty to the liritisli crown which is characteristic of all Scotchmen iu the Morthwest, and out of resi)ect for the memory of the late Prince consort, the rev. gentleman called the mission " Prince Albert." A few years later he l)uilt the log church now standing on King street and occu- pied as a High School by tlie Presbyterian Mission. From 18G6 to 1874 every year brought in a few settlers from Kildonan, and others who hud been in the H. B. Co.'s service in different parts of the Northwest, until the settlement extended along the river front for about six miles. Among the first to settle near the mission was James Isbister, who was born on the western shore of Hudson's Bay, and was for a number of years in the service of the 11. B. Co. Among the settlers who came from Kihlonau were the Drevers, McDonalds, McBeaths, McKays, Sutlierhmds, Ander- sons, Finhiysftns, S])enci'rs, Browns, Mclvors, Pritchards, Adams, Halcros, Houries, Turners, Fiddlers, Fletts, Kennedys, Monkmans, Whitf'ords and others. Thus while to the H. B. Co. is due the fact that Prince Albert occupies the position it does, to the zeal of a Christian missionary, and SASKATCHEWAN DIliECTOllV. — PUINCE ALBERT. the descendants of the hardy Scotch pioneers of Manitoba is due the credit of having laid the foundation of what was destined to be the most l)o}»ulous and prosperous settlement in the district of Saskatchewan. As maybe supposed, very little farming was done by the early settlers, their labours in that direction being chieHy confined to raising enough j)rodiice to meet their own requirements, and they were generally absent except during the ha^ang and harvesting season. Some made trips to Fort (larry, while the majority took to the plains in quest of buft'alo, which were still to be found close by. In the winter trapping and fishing was their occupation. These were happy days for those who loved the chase, and many an interesting page might be given of the experiences of the pioneers of Prince Albert. In 1873 Capt. W. F. Butler, author of the " Great Lone Land," paid a flying visit to the mission on his way back from Kocky Mountain House and intervening posts, whither he had been despatched by the Dominion Government to examine and report upon the extent of the ravages of the small-pox plague which had broken out among the Indians a couple of years previously. The gallant captain was a great lover of dog trains, and those who have read his very interesting book will doubtless remember how he goes into ecstacies over a train he bought from a Halfbreed at Fort a la Corne. They were, to his fancy, the creTiic de la crtme of the canine race. There is a citizen of Prince All)ert settlement, however, whom the captain once met at A la Corne who enjoys many a hearty laugh when he remembers how he palmed off his poorest dog train on that connoisseur of dog flesh. In 1874 the first attempt at building a gristmill was made in the set- tlement, the late George McKay being the chief promoter of the enter- l)rise. The motive power of this very much needed establishment was wind, but the undertaking proved a failure and the remains of the mill are still standing on the hill to the south of the town. In the absence of better the settlers had recourse to two hand-mills owned by W. H. Bartlct, then being run by horsepower on the site where Chas. Mair's store now stands. Up to this time the settlers were almost excluoively Kildonan people and H. B. Co. servants. Now, however, settlers com- menced to arrive from other quarters as wel^, and the honor of contribut- ing the citizen whose enterprise more, perhaps, than that of any other, has conduced to the advancement of the settlement, fell to the lot of the Emerald Isle. While hunting on the plains in that year Capt. Moore })aid a visit to the Mission. Perceiving that lumber for the needs of the settlement was being cut by whip-saws, and perceiving, also, that a steammill was not only a necessity at that time, but would become more and more a necessity, he promised to build one as soon as possible. He accordingly returned the following year and let the contract for the mill, leaving again for the east to purchase the necessary machinery. In tlie summer of 1876 he returned with the machinery, having been two months on the trail between Winnipeg and Prince Albert. With him came Alex. Loudon, Thos. Miller, John Mackenzie, and Wrn. Lyttle. On ins])ection of the frame erected for the machinery it was found too light, SASKATCHEWAN DIRECTORY. — PRINCE ALBERT. 33 come sible. the In two liirn Oa ight, and he was forced to tear it down and rebuild. The mill was completed that fall and lumber cut by steam for the first time in the settlement. In this year also Wm. Hodgson built a grist mill driven by waterpower, on Eed Deer Creek, a few miles south-west of the Mission, which is still standing. In 1875 Prince Albert acquired another settler who was destined to spend the remainder of his life in the place, and to win a high position in the affections of the people by his zeal as a Christian minister and his enterprise as a citizen. The English church, nothing wanting in its zeal for the spreading of the gospel in the Northwest, and seeing the growing necessity for Christian ministers in the Saskatchewan country, in 1874 erected that region into a Bishopric and appointed the Ven. Archdeacon McLean, of St. John's Cathedral, Winnipeg, to the important and respon- sible office of Bishop. His Lordship arrived in Prince Albert early in 1875, travelling by dog train. Liking the location of the place and hav- ing a firm conviction that it was destined to become a place of some im- portance, he chose it as his headquarters. He secured what is now known as Kiver Lot 55, and took up his residence in a log house close by. In 1876 he built St. Mary's church, and later on founded Emmanuel Col- lege. In this year Joseph Hurd, of Hurd and Baker, and Joseph Coombes arrived. At that time the only ones doing business in the sttlement were the H. B. Co., who had previously removed from their trading post to its present location on river lot 83, and K. J. Pritchard and Joseph Stevenson, who had trading posts on river lots 64 and 66 respectively, the latter where Mr. Mair's house now stands. In this year the first Government mail arrived at Fort Carlton and Battleford, the mail carrier being the late Hon. James McKay. In 1877 Prince Albeit be- gan to receive a mail every three weeks, by way of Ft. Carlton, the post- master being Alexander McBeath. In 1877 Charles Mair arrived from Portage la Prairie, immediately built a store on river lot 68 and commenced business on eastern princi- ples, putting counters in his store and displaying his wares to the natives. In the following year the H. B. Co. built the eastern wing of their })resent large premises. Dr. Porter and T. N. Campbell arrived this year, the former purchasing river lot 63 with a view to going into the town-site business, and the latter starting a book and stationery store in a log hut now standing on the south-east corner of River and McKay street, or river lot 79. The next year brought more additions to the set- tlers, among them being Ashdown & Agnew, Betts & Gwynne, and K. J. McPhail. The former firm commenced business in rented premises on the Porter estate, and the latter firms rented log jjremises from John A. Macdonald on river lots 81 and 82. In 1879 building operations com- menced somewhat lively on the Porter estate, Ashdown & Agnew and several others erecting buildings, until it looked as if the town would be located on the doctor's property. Fortune decided otherwise, however, the Mission authorities, by the advice of Ilev. Mr. Seivright, then ia ^OTE — i'oi " i87U" lu tile tiftli liue of tbe following page read 1870. 34 SASKATCHEWAN DIUECTOUY. — PRINCE ALBERT. charge at Trince Albert, and Hurd & Baker, owners of river lot 77, ado[)ting such a generous policy towards n erchants and others, as to at once secure the establishment of the town on their property, and effectually prevent the further growth of rivals. The first to build on the Mission pro[)erty were Betts & Gwynne, in 187Q, their example being followed by George T. Brown, Harry Keenan, .1. 0. Uavis, Alex. Stewart, .1. L. Johnston, J. M. Campbell, Isaiah McUoU and others. A number of buildings were also put up on the Hard & Baker estate, among them the stores of T. J. Agnew, T. N. Campbell, Wm. Tait, and Walters & Baker. In 1880 Thos. McKay built a sawmill on the river bank just north of Mr. Mair's store. In this yea: K. B. Way, T. E. Jackson, W. It. Fish, J. M. Campbell, and Col. Sproat arrived. A Free- mason's Lodge was organized, Charles Mair was appointed postmaster, the H. B. Co. built a gristmill and Goodfellow Bros., who arrived the year before, a sash and door factory. Not less than $50,000 were ex- pended this year in new buildings and improvements. The next year (1881) brought in K.N. Bratnober, W. V. Maclise, Dr. Bain and others. This year marks an important era in the history of the Prince Albert district and of the Northwest, inasmuch as it was in this year the princi- ple of representative government was first given effect to in the Northwest, by the election by popular vote, on the 25th of JV'arch, of L. Clarke as member for Lome District in the Northwest Council. A Dominion Lands office was also opened, the late George Duck being the agent, and P. V. Gouvreau, now agent at Edmonton, assistant agent. Goodfellow Bros, built the sash and door factory now standing on McKay-street this year, and aboir $60,000 in all were spent in improvements. Another event took place this year which resulted in the acquisition of a citizen who was destined to figure prominently among the public men of the Saskatchewan and of the Northwest — the formation of a partnership between Capt. Moore and D. H. Macdowall, now member for Saskatche- wan in the Dominion Parliament. The next year (1882) Macarthur & Knowles, G. D. Northgraves, A. McNabb, Shannon & McLeod, Stewart Bros., Hugh McDougall and W. li. Gunu arrived. Wi i. Stobart & Son established a branch of their business in the old log premises close by the river on the Mackenzie estate, under the management of 0. E. Hughes. The Times was esta- blislied by Messrs. Spink & Maveety, in the log premises now occupied by K. Buckley on the George McKay estate. A Koman Catholic mis- sion was established by Rev. Peie Andre in the old log premises on river lot 75, which formerly belonged to Joseph Finlayson, now Indian agent on Mistawasis reserve. In this year Chief Factor Clarke was removed from Carlton to Prince Albert, and Mr. Turner was removed from the latter place to Ft. a la Come, Prince Albert thus becoming the head- quarters of the H. B. Co. for what was originally known as the trading district of Carlton. Messrs. Moore & Macdowall, finding their mill too small, decided to build a larger one, and sold the machinery to Thos. Mc- Kay, who removed it to the river bank in rear of Chas. Mair's store. SASKATCHEWAN DlRECTOllY. — PRINCE ALBERT. 35 A. W. Iheir izie Ista )ied lis- iver rent jved 1th e lad- ing too [c- ire. In this year also Thos. Agnew removed the store erected by him on the Porter estate, to the Hurd & Baker estate, which premises are now occu- pied by T. E. Jackson. In 1883 Moore & Macdowall built their present mill, which has a capacity of 50,000 feet per day, and is the largest in the Saskatchewan country. A brass band was organized under the leadership of Louis St, Louis. The Prince Albert registration district was set a])art on the 27th of March, Lt.-Col Sproat, who was for some years member for the south riding of Bruce, Ont., in the Dominion Parliament, being appointed registrar, and on the same day the capital of the Northwest was removed to Regina.. This year was rendered somewhat memorable, to the people of Prince Albert, at least, by the squabble that took place over the loca- tion of the telegraph office, a good deal of illfeeling having been created between some of the citizens. This feeling, however, soon passed away, and the men who pulled up the poles to the east end and those who had been instrumental in their erection enjoy many a hearty laugh over the many ludicrous circumstances connected with the incipient rebellion. The telegraph office was ultimately located on the Hurd & Baker estate. A timber office was opened, J. D. Waggoner, of Kingston, Ont., being appointed agent. Previous to this Joseph Finlayson acted as deputy- agent, Mr. Anderson, of Winnipeg, being agent for the Northwest Terri- tories. St. Paul's (Presbyterian) church was built. It is a brick struc- ture, and stands immediately opposite Church street, on the south side of Selkirk. On June oth the second election of a representative for the District of Lome took place, D. H. Macdowall, now member for Sas- katchewan Distnct in the House of Commons, defeating Dr. Porter. Chas. Mair discontinued business, and removed with his family to Wind- sor, Ont., renting his store to Mahaffy & Clinkskill, who shortly after- wards removed to Battleford. During Mr. Mair's absence R. B. Way had charge of the Postoffice. St. Anne's convent was established by ladies of the order of Faithful Companions of Jesus, in the Roman Catholic Mission buildings, on River street. In 1884 A. H. Clark, druggist, arrived, commencing business in a building rented from Lt. Col. Sproat, on River street, and previously occu- pied for a brief period as a bank by a man named Flood. Stephen Brewster, now of Brewster & McKay, advocates, also arrived. St. Alban's (Anglican) church was built, on the north side of Third street, near the corner of Church street. Since its erection it has been considerably im- proved and enlarged. Two serious fires occurred this year, resulting in the destruction of the mills of Thos. McKay and the H. B. Co. John Mc- Taggart succeeded the late George Duck as Dominion Lands agent, Mr. Gouvreau, the assistant agent, being appointed agent at Edmonton, and Louis Schmidt assistant agent at Prince Albert. In this year the agitation at the South Branch commenced, and a dele- gation was sent to Montana to secure tho assistance of Louis Riel. The e.xiled chiei accepted the invitation, and in due course arrived at St. Laurent, wheie he shortly afterwards formulated his famous "Bill of r,G SASKATCHEWAN DIIIEUTOIIY. — PUINCE ALBERT. rights." The agitation continued to increase in strength during that fall and the early })art of 1885, until, contrary to the expectations of many, vvlio looked upon the demands made and threats indulged in if those demands were not conceded, as mere bravado, culminated in the seizure early in the month of March of the store of Walters & Baker, at Batoche, and that of Wm. Stobart & Son, at Duck Lake, together with the Indian supj)lies. Even then it was lioped that bloodshed would be avoided by a settlement of the ditliculty on a basis satisfactory to all concerned, but Kiel's demands were increased, and a settlement on honorable lines placed beyond a possibility. On the outbreak at Batoche Prince Albert people naturally were alarmed, and measures were at once taken to place the town iri a position to resist an attack. Major Crozier who was then in command of the detachment of police stationed at that point, cooperated with Capt. Moore, who commanded the volunteers, and a home guard consisting of all ihe able-bodied citizens of the place was organized under Lt.-Col. JSproat. On the evening of the 27th of March the battle of Duck Lake took place between the Metis, and the police and volunteers, the result proving disastrous to the loyal forces, who were obliged to retreat, leaving their dead and wounded on the field. These Kiel freely gave up at the request of Wm. Drain, who undertook to ask the rebel leader to grant that favour, in order that the dead might be buried and. the wounded properly cared for. Carlton was evacuated and accidentally burned the next day, Crozier and the volunteers returning by the north side of the river to Prince Albert. Col. Irvine, with a large detachment of police, arrived the day after the Duck Lake fight, having avoided the French settlements, and approached I'rince Albert by way of Carrot i^iver. The place, however, remained in a state of siege, or, more cor- rectly speaking, in a state of defense, the enemy not yet having put in an app<>arance. Every man was a soldier. St. Paul's church and par- sonage were turned into forts, they being brick bull '..gs, and much better adapted for protection than a rotten ballistrade. The dead were buried, as was their due, with military honors in St. Mary's cemetery, and though no monument marks their resting place, their names are written in imperishable letters upon material more lasting than marble. As might be expected, the hasty organization of a home-guard where men having had any military experience were scarce, had its amusing as well as its serious aspects*.- Men figured as adjutants, captains, lieuten- ants, etc., who scarcely knew the difference between " mark-time" and " form-fours." One of those officers, whose duty it was one night to relieve the guard, was overheard, in a tone of authority, giving the some- what novel words of command — " Duck-file !" " Slant arms ! " " Turn your faces to the door!" Other amusing features of the siege might be given, but lack of space will not permit, suffice it to say that every day had its quoto until the town was relieved by the arrival of Middleton and his forces, which occurred in the latter part of May. All danger being now past, farmers returned to their homes, all but neglected up to that time, and business commenced to revive. Building operations also com- SASKATCHEWAN DIUECTOUY.— PRINCE ALBERT. 37 ng as uten- and It to borne- Turn (ht be day and Meing that Icom- menced, the present H. B.

McKay, and the councillors J. ¥. Betts, 11. N. Bratnober, Andrew Goodfellow and G. T. Brown. J. F. A. Stull was apj)ointed clerk, a i)osition he still holds ; A. VV. R. Markley, assessor, and J. Hanafin, collector. A rifle association was formed, .John Stewart being President. The third election of a representative for the District of Lome in the Northwest Council took place on the loth of September, 0. E. Hughes defeating Dr. Porter. In the fall of the year E. J. Cann, a member of the 90th regiment, who had not only done some fighting during the campaign, but who also had an eye to business, arrived in Prince Albert and commenced, a book and stationery store. Two additions were also made to the legal profession by the arrival of A. L. Sifton, from Brondon, and H. W. Newlands, from Winnipeg. About $35,000 in all were spent in new buildings during this year. During 1886 building operations were carried on somewhat exten- sively. The courthouse and jail, a brick building with a stone founda- tion, was erected on the brow of the hill at the south end of Church street, at a cost of about $19,000. The Queen's hotel, a large three-story frame building, was erected on the east side of Church, near River street. Richard Gwynne built a fine brick house on the north-west corner of Church and Third streets, now the property of Judge McGuire. The total amount spent in new buildings was not less than $55,000. The first assessment was made this year, showing the value of real and personal property to be $422,405. The total tax levied was $3,612 90. The third annual exhibition of the Lome Agricultural Society was held on the 30th of September ; money, cups and other prizes to the value of over $900 were awarded. A change took place in the i)astorate of St. Paul's (Presbyterian) church. Rev. Mr. McVVilliams retiring and being succeeded by Rev. Dr. R. Jardine, MA.,BD.,DS., for some time previous stationed at Brock ville, Out. Court was held by Judge McLeod on the 3rd of November, in Wm. Tait's store, a libel suit against the Times being one of the principal cases on the docket, the jury returning a non- suit. On the 7th of December the Lord Bishop of Saskatchewan died, to the great regret of all classes of the citizens, and on the Kth he was layed to "est in rear of St. Mary's church with every mark of respect befitting a Christian Bishop and a distinguished and enterja-ising citizen. An impressive funeral sermon was preached on this melancholy occasion by Ven Archdeacon Geo. McKay, B. D. Towards the latter part of this year and during the early part of 1887, a new element of discussion was introduced into Northwest life, the several districts having had imposed upon them the responsible duty of electing representatives to the House of Commons. The town of Prince Albert, being the capital of Saskatchewan district, was the first to take steps towards opening the contest. A Liberal Association was formed in the latter part of January, with John Stewart as President, and the Hon. 38 SASKATCllKWAN DIUEOTOUV.— I'UINCE ALDEUT. Diivid Laird, ex-Lieutenant-Governor of tlie Northwest Territories, nomi- iiiited. In the early part of January the Conservatives formed an Association, electin<^ l)r.

Mr. Laird arrived at liatoche on the 7th of February, where hco])ened the tight, and on the following day arrived in Prince Albert. Prom that time up to the close of the election jiolitical matters were freely discussed by the can- (liihites and their su]t])orters, when victory perched on the banner of the Conservative party, Mr. Macdowall being elected by a large majority. .lames Macarthur was elected Mayor of Prince Albert this year, and Thos. J. Agnew, K. X. Pratnober, Dr. IJain and John Stewart, councillors. T. H. McGuire, Q.C., of Kingston was ap])ointed Judge of the Supreme (Joui't for the Saskatchewan District; II. E. Ross, sheriff (since superceded by O. K. Hughes; Chouseil de La(l(jrgendierre, of St. Albert, Alberta, clerk of the Su])renie Court; (1. D. Northgraves, caretaker of the Court- house, and H. K.

PtM'e Andre, now of Calgary. New police barracks were commenced early in the spring of this year untlcir the suju-rvision of II. J. Peters, an experienced architect sent out by the (Government. The work was done by day's labour, all the best mechanics of the town and district having -been employed. It consists of a barrack building, 1 iV.>x28, with wing 87x28 ; two ollicers' (jiuirters, :?5x24; tbre«! extension kitchens. 2(1x21 ; one guard room, 48x24; (Uie (Quarter Master's store, liOx.'iO; one; general store; two stables 7i3x30 ; two wings to stables 12xo(); one blacksmith shoj) 24x24, one sergeaufc'a mess r)()x2G; one extension kitchen lGx28 ; one sick stable 50x28; one artizan's workshop, 24x28, and five latrims. The best nuiterial obtain- alih' was used, and the worknuvnship throughout has been of a character which retlei ts credit upon all conceriu'd. The bai'racks will accommo- date '.'■> ollicers, 4 horses. It is located on the brow (tf the hill abotit a mile south-west of, and over- looking, tlu! town. A more commanding position could not have becu selected. I'x'sides tlu; barracks a number of other buildings were erected, among them a line residence near St, Mary's church by the wiilow of the late Lord liishop McLean. An hotel was built by David Pollock on King »iv«et, and a stole by .loliii Stewart, now oeiMipied by S. McLeod tS: Co., oil tile corner of Kiver iiud King streets. Sergeants I'arkei' and Keenan also erected residences on the hill to the east ol' the barracks. Tile most convincing evidence of tlm progress of a town, however, is the deV(dopmcut of its educational institutions. In tlu' early days, ami up to the lorniatiou of Public School Sections Nos. ."> and lO, the children of the town were taught in schools supported by private SASKATCHEWAN UIUECTOKY. — I'lilNCE ALBERT. 39 subscription, and, as a consequence, were not able to make as rapid advance- ment as they would in schools properly organized and eciuipped. Since the establishnicnt of ])ublic schools, within the past four years, there has been a marked im[trovenient. Not only have the children made rapid advancement, but last year the " old log school houses," so to speak, were superceded by large and commodious brick structures, supplied with all modern appliances. The total outlay in connection with the erection and fitting up of the school in the central ])ortiou of the town was §6,200, that of the east end about §3,500. A high school has also l)een conducted for a number of years in the old log church originally built by Kev. Mr. Nesbit, whicli stands on King street, by the Presby- terian Mission authorities, This, however, will shortly be merged into the proposed Nesbit Institute, which is to be erected this year on the west side of Church strdet and immediately north of the Courthouse. The Itev. Mothers of St. Anne's convent have also done their part in the cause of education since their advent, and it is to the credit of the citizens of Prince Albert that they have not allowed religious considerations to prevent tlieir children froni enjoying the benefits of a training in that excellent institution. Early last year the Kev. Mothers removed from the lionian Catholic Mission buildings, on lliver street, to the jircmises recently purchased by them from Hon. L. Clarke. A Roman Catiiolic Public Scliool District was organized last year, and a school i)peued in the building recently occupied by the liev. Mothers. The credit of founding the first educational institution of more than ordinary importaoncc in the Saskatchewan District, if not the Northwest Territories, belongs to the late Lord Jiishop McLean, pjumanuel College having been erected by him in 1879. It is a large, S([uare two-storey frame building, and is situated at the foot of the hill to the south of St. Mary's church. Since its establishment regular professors have been emi»loyed ami a number of native and other missionaries educated. It has done, and is doing good work. Every year more or less improve- ment has been nuide to the College, in order to keep up to the re(iuire~ ments of tlie times. Altogether, the year 1887 may justly be considered to have berof(>ssion, trade and industry is represented. Prince Albert is no bloated offsjiring of boom speculations, but the healty crea- tion of the industry of its builders. Tluit its future will be characterized by the same energy on the jiart of the citizens there can be no doubt. The development of the agricultural industries of the country, however, have been so great within the last few years that railway com- munication must be secured without delay, in order to afford an outlet for the surplus pniducts of the Saskatchewan country, and in order to secure that share of immigration to which the Saskatchewan country is entitled. It is true there have been steamboats on the Xorth Saskatche- wan for a numlter of years, but as they do not commence to run until navigation ()]iens on Lake Winnipeg, which is uiuch later than on the Saskatchewan, and their arrival at Prince Albert i^: more or Ic,- a matter of uncertainty, nuu'chants do not care to bring their goods by way of (Jrand Papids, ))refVuring to trust to the overlani' route from Qu'Appelle.

Since his removal to Prince Albert he has taken a lively interest in all movements having for their object the public good. He has always given liberally and un- grudgingly of his means in the interests of charity or any other good cause. Mr. Clarke is, in the truest sense of the word, a selfmade man. Possessed of natural talents far above the average, he worked himself up from a servant of the H. B. Co, to the position of Chief Factor. He is gifted to a large extent with the eloquence so characteristic of his countrymen, and had he had the good fortune to receive a collegiate education might have won a name for himself in another sphere than in that of the very honorable service of the Hudson's Bay Company. Some years ago he built a fine residence (see engraving), which he lately sold to the Rev. Mothers of St. Anne's Convent, removing to the east end. He has been twice married, and has a large family. His present wife is a sister of Thos. and Jas. McKay,Prince Albert. One of his daughters mar- ried the late Sedley Blanchard, Barrister, of Winnipeg. Another married Dr. Bain, Mayor of Prince Albert, and a third Mr. Frank Wilson, who is in the H. B. Co.'s service at Edmonton. On the formation of the Board of Trade he was elected Prt-sident. Mr. Clarke is on the ujiper side of fifty, and though he has experienced all the hardships common to the service in the northern country, is still good for many years of useful life. CHARLES MAIR, SR. The author of the drama " Tecumseh " needs no introduction to the ])eople of Canada, much less to the people of Prince Albert. His career, however, is intimately connected with the early history of Mani- toba and the Northwest, and so full of incidents more realistic than " haggard," that more than the usual limit of space will be devoted to a sketch of him. He is a native of eastern Ontario, and was born in the village of Bathurst, Lanark County, on the 2 1st of September, 1840. He was educated in the Bathurst Grammar School and Queen's College, Kingston. His father was a native of the " Land o' Cakes," otherwise known as Scotland, and came to Canada about the year 1828, settling in Ottawa county, where he for many years carried on the s(iuare timber business. The subject of this sketch first commenced the study of medi- cine, but having early in his life displayed a taste for liternture and by that means made himself known to the public men of Canada, he was induced by the Hon. Wm. McDougall to make researches in the Parlia- mentary lil)rary, Ottawa, n connection with the ([uestion then pending of the transfer of the Norlliwest Territories to the (Jovernment of Canada. From that time he gave iip the idea of bec(jming a physician and nuiking pills and such like. In 18G8, when the (lovernment sent (»ut a party of men to open up a road between Lake Superior a!jd the Lake of the Woods, he was appointed paymaster, and the fall of 1869 found him, as 42 SASKATCHEWAN DIKEUTOUY. — PRINCE ALBERT. well as others, unwillingly enjoying the hospitality of Louis Riel in Fort Garry. Having taken exception to Mr. Kiel's bill of fare, and even questioning the righ of " mine host " to retain him against his will, Mr. Mair was threatened with the guillotine. Not liking the idea of being sacrificed so early ir his career, he managed, by the aid of his fellow- guests, to make his e.'.cape. Once free, he proceeded to Portage la Praiiie, and, under Major Boulton, organized a party, who returned to Fort Garry and compelled liiel to deliver up the prisoners. By treachery, however. Major Boulton, Thos. Scott and others were taken prisoners and Scott put to death. Mr. Mair not wishing to again fall into the hands of the rebels, in company with Sheriff Setter, of Portage la Prairie, started on snow shoes for St. Paul. Their journey to that point was accomplished in thirty days, and was made under great difficulties. Their provisions ran short, and their tobacco, scarcely less necessary to habitual smokers, >»ecame exhausted. For four days they were compelled to live on about two ounces of flour per day, and oak bark as a Substitute lor the "weed." In a famished condition they arrived in St. Paul, where they met Dr. Schultz and Dr. Lynch, and accompanied them to Canada. After the restoration of order Mr. Mair again returned to Fort Garry and endeavored to obtain some manuscripts he had taken with him on his first visit, and which had been seized by the rebels. He was unsuccessful, however, though he offered a large reward, and becoming discouraged at loosing the fruits of so many years of literary labour, he settled down in Portage la Prairie, and took to the fur trade. Ke remained there until 187t>, when he removed to Prince Albert, and established himself as a general trader. From that time until the summer of 1883 he continued in business, building a store and a large dwelling house. In the latter year, foreseeing trouble in the near future, he removed with his family to Windsor, Ont., where he employed his time up to the breaking out of the rebellion at the South Branch in writing the drama "Tecumseh," a literary production which at once placed him in the front rank of Cana- dian writers. During the second rebellion he acted as Quartermaster for the Governor-General's Foot Guards. In the following year he returned to I'rince Albert and embarked again in the general trading business, which he still carries on. Besides the drama " Tecumseh," Mr. Mair has contributed a number of articles to Canadian magazines and published a volume entitled " Dreamland and Other Poems." As he is scarcely fifty years of age, it is to be hoped that he will not " forget his rythm and rhyme," but that he will still add to his laurels in the noble field of literature. Mr. Mair is postmaster and Vice-President of the Board of Trade, Prince Albert. His wife is a niece of Hon. Dr. Schultz. BETTS a GWYNNE. NoUiing serves better to illustrate the increase of a settlement in wealth and importance than the success of those who are engaged in the mercantile business, more particularly those of that class" who commenced with next to no capital, and have, in less than a decade of years, become SASKATCHEWAN DIKECTOHY, — PRINCE ALBERT. 43 3SS, las d fty Ind of of Jin he led ue comparatively weathy. Of this class are the gentlemen whose names head this paragraph. They arrived in Prince Albert in 1879 with $505 worth of goods, and one fine evening in the month of September in that year, the senior member of the firm might have been seen leading an ox, to which was tethered a cart containing all their available goods, down the hill approaching the Mission. Their first place of business was a log kitchen 12x14, belonging to John A. McDonald. After the lapse of a few months they were forced to rent the brick premises then recently- built by Hurd& Baker on the George McKay estate. Business continu- ing to increase they were compelled to built for themselves on the Mission property. To these premises they have been constantly adding until thty now measure, 22x85, In the early days of their business career ona of the members of the firm made trips to Win ^ eg for goods. Of late years, however, they have employed freighters. The firm have only handled Dry Goods, Groceries and Clothing. Mr. Betts has always taken an active part in public affairs, and was a member of the first council and Acting-Mayor during the greater part of their term, 1886. He was appointed, in company with Mr. Macdowall, the same year to proceed to Ottawa and interview the Government concerning the loca- tion of the police barracks, and had the pleasue, along with others, of meeting a highway robber on his return from Qu'Appelle and placing " hands-up" at the request of that individual. Mr. Betts was a candidate for the Mayoralty in 1887, but was defeated by a small majority. He is member of the School Board for District No. 3 for the present year. Both members of the firm are married. Mr. Betts occupies a fine brick house on Second street, erected by him in 1885. Mr. Gwynne built a fine brick house in 1886, on the corner of Church and Third streets, which he sold last year to Judge McGuire. Mr. Betts is native of Kingston, and Mr. Gwynne of Gananoque, Ont. T.

He came to Prince Albert in 1879, with A. L. Ashdown as his partner, and opened in the general store on the Porter estate. In 1882 they dissolved partnership, Mr. Agnew going into the hardware business in premises erected for him by the late James Tre?*on on River street, and Mr. ^shdown going to St. Albert with Henry Mc- Kenny. Besides doing a general hardware business, Mr. Agnew carries on the manufacture of tin and sheetiron ware. He was a member of the town council during 1887, and was re-elected for the present year. He is married, is a native of the island of Guernsey, and resides in the west end. THOMAS SWANSTON. This gentleman, to whom reference should have been made elsewhere, is a retired H. li.

Mr. Swanston is a married man and has two children. He is a man of a retired disposition, and takes a great delight in hunting. HURIJ CC HAKER. The history of this firm's connection with Prince Albert commences over ten years ago, Mr. Hurd having arrived in 1876, and his partner a short time subsequently. They erected the first brick building west of Winnipeg, that now occupied by Blain Goodfellow. on the George McKay estate. They also erected a number of buildings for John A. McDonald, among them his residence, Cameron's cottage, and the stores occupied by Walters & Baker, R. C. Wigmore & Co., and a many other buildings. They are also owners of river lot 77, in the centre of the town. Both gentle- men are married.

This gentleman is a son of James Campbell, publisher, of Toronto, and came to Prince Albert in 1878, starting in the books and stationery busi- ness in the old log house on the south-east corner of Kiver and Mc- Kay streets. He subsequently removed to the brick premises now occu- ])ied by Blain Goodfellow, and from thence to the store now occupied by Kussell & Davis, and belonging to G. T. Brown. He then built a store on the Hurd & Baker estate, to which he removed and where he has carried on business ever since. Mr. C. owns considerable property in Prince Albert. He is a young man, unmarried, and, like others in town, often sings with a touch of melancholy — " Unwed, unloved, and uncaressed, A sad life is a bachelor's best." GOODFELLOW BROS. Andrew, Robert T. and Blain Goodfellow are natives of Peterboro, Ont., and came to Prince Albert in 1879. They are all carpenters, and on arriving here commenced contracting. In 1880 they built a sash and door factory in the vicinity of the H. B. Co.'s mill, and during that year the two mills were run by one engine. In 1881 they built the present large mill on McKay street, at a cost of $7,000. Besides making doors and sashes they do turning, planing and make all kinds of mould- ings. Blain Goodfellow also carries on the furniture business, and R. T. Goodfellow a grocery and confectionery business. Andrew Goodfellow was a membei of the first town council, and all are enterprising and respected citizens. ' J. M. CAMPBELL. There are few merciiants in the Northwest who do a larger trade than this gentleman, while, at the same time there are few who have struggled harder to gain the mercantile prestige he enjoys. During 1874 and 187o SASKATCHEWAN DIRECTORY. — PRINCE ALBERT. 45 )uld- [i. T. tllow ami Ithan Igled L870 Mr, Campbell bought goods in Winnipeg and sold them in the west. He then took up a farm near the capital of Manitoba, which he continued to cultivate until 1880, when he sold out, bought a stock of goods and again started for the west, ultimately settling down in Frince Albert. He first did business in a tent near where St. Anne's convent stands, after- wards removing tc the premises he now occupies. Since 1881 he has gradually increased his business and built a block of three stores (two of which he now occupies), a storehouse, three houses on Third street, two on Selkirk, and a warehouse on McKay street, together with his fine brick residence on the corner of McKay and Selkirk streets. He has also a large farm about twenty miles east of Kinistino, Carrot River. This he has stocked with 75 head of cattle, including a thoroughbred bull, and 150 sheep.

He is a native of Quebec, and came to Prince Albert in 1880. He first turned his attention to carpentering, then he bought out a frieght- ing outfit and freighted for a year between Prince Albert and Winnipeg, when he sold out and went into the knick-knack trade in the same log building in which T. N. Camhbell commenced business. Selling toys, however, was too slow a trade for Mr. Davis, and he commenced to deal in larger wares. His business always increasing he was forced many times to seek larger quarters, until he hung out his shingle at his present large premises. He carries a stock of from $10,000 to SI 5,000 worth of goods and carries many lines not kept in other stores. He is also largely inter- ested in real estate, owning a number of stores and houses.

There are few men in Prince Albert who are so deservedly popular among all classes of citizens as the gentleman who tills the very honour- able position of llegistrar for the District of Prince Albert, and who, by virtue of merit and long service as one of Her Majesty's volunteers, writes " Lt.-Col." before his name.

Among those engaged in stock raising in the Prince Albert District viAO will not be referred to elsewhere, are : — Chas. Robertson le and native cattle and expects to have the best stocked ranclie in t'.ie Prince Albert country in a tew years. The locality chosen by Mr. Tait for his ranche aI)oun(ls in hay, fresh water and shelter. He, however, stables his cattle all wint(!r, believing fhat it i)ays better, the steers becoming lit for nuirket after a couple of weeks on the new grass. Mr. T. is a thorough business nuin, and has both the cajiital and tlie energy to make ranching a success. He is an ex-member of the Mounted Police, and of the tirst to enter the service. li. J. Piitcli'ird, Prince Alhert — This gentleman's ranche is about nine miles north of Prince Albert. He has onejiedigree bull (Duke of York), two jiedigree cows, one ten-months old bull calf (Duke of Jiegina), and four pedigree cows, all Shorthorn Diirhams. He has besides seventy head of gratle cattle. At the last liorne District Agricultural Kxhil)itiou he secured three tirst jn'izes and one second ],ri/e for thoroughbred cattle, and two second }irizes for grade cattle. He considers the country SASKATCHEWAN DIRECTORY, — PRINCE ALBERT. 40 al)out ugh- uiid test ality and uiys 1 the lital {' the where his ranche is located as equal to any in the Northwest for stock- raising. He wintered cattle there in 188G-7 at a cost of $3 per head, Three of his herd were out all that winter and returned in the spring in good condition. He, however, does not believe in letting his cattle run during winter, the cost of stabling being very little, and the difference in their condition in the spring more than paying for the cost wintering. Mr. Pritchard is an old settler in the district, and a native of Kildonan, Manitoba. Henry Smith, Saskatoon — This gentleman has a herd of Jersey cattle consisting of a bull and twelve cows, together with a number of grades. The number may not seem large, but it is a very good beginning. The Jerseys took the first prize at the last year's Agricultural exhibition. Mr. Smi^h stables his cattle during the winter, hay being very plentiful and cheap. Joh7i Sanderson, Carrot River — Besides being a general farmer Mr. Sanderson has about fifty head of cattle, and a number of sheep and hogs. He has been in the Carrot Eiver district a number of years, and wants no better country for stock raising and general farming. He is from Dunville, Ont., and is President of the Carrot Itiver Agricultural Society. George Connors, Carrot Riv6r — This gentleman took up a farm in Carrot Kiver some years ago, and has carried on general farming ever since. He has a herd of about forty head of cattle, and carries on the manufacture of cheese, for which a ready market is found in Prince Albert. D. & E. Dinsmore, Carrot River — The brothers have between them about thirty head of cattle, twenty-five sheep and a thoroughbred ram. They have been in the district about six years, commencing with very little means, and gradually working their way to the front. Ellis d' Son, Carrot River — These gentlemen have al)out thirty head of grade cattle. They also carry on general farming. There are some other farmers who, while they do not claim to be ranchmen, have large herds of cattle, among them being Thos. McFaddeu, of Colleston ; Thos. McKay and Wm. Miller, Prince Albert ; Thos. Scott John McNiven and Alex. Stansfield, lied Deer Hill, and Chas. Adams, Halcro. SHEEP RANCHES. This is a branch of the ranching industry which is rapidly developing in the Prince Albert district. A few years ago sheej) were very scarce, not numbering more than a few hundred. Last year there were not less than three thousand, and it is safe to say that that number will be more than doubled before the end of the jtresent year. Among those who make sheep ranching a specialty are James Macarthur, of Prince Albert, and Wm. Diehl and Gilbert Carter, of Carlton. 50 SASKATCHEWAN DIIIECTORY. — I'KiNCE ALBERT. V James Macarfhur, Prince Albert — This gentleman commenced a sheep ranche a few miles south-east of Trince Albert in 1S84, bringing in tiiiit y(!ar-i50 ewes from Montana, which, :-dded to lifty he already had, made oUO.

Laurie, now of the Indian office, Battleford, descriptive of the Battle river valley, that gentleman thus sketches the early history of the town of Battleford : " In 1874 the engineers of tiie Canadian Pacific Kailway passed through the Sasivatchewan v.alley, crossing the Jiattle River about two miles from its mouth, and shortly afterwards the contractor for the construction of the telegra])h line sent through large parties of men to carry on the work he had undertaken. Struck with the beauty of the place the crossing of the Battle river was chosen as the constructor's headcjuarters, under the true western appellation of " Telegraph Flat." Next came the selection of the crossing as the seat of Government for the Morthwest Territories, on account of its central situation, and the name was changed to the appropriate and more euphoneous one of Battleford. In due course the men in the emjiloy of the Department of Public Works appeared upon the scene, and jiroceeded with the erection of buildings for tht accommo- dation of the officials of the Northwest Government. A troop of Mounted Police was stationed here, and barracks erected. The public works, em- }»loying as they did, large numbers of men, naturally attracted several traders, and sj)eedily the nucleus of a small town was formed." The town to which the writer refers is now known as South Battleford, and was situated ])artly in the valley, and partly on the high ground to the south of Axe Battle river. It consisted of the buildings above alluded to, II. B. Co. trading post, the stores of A. JMacdonald & Co. and MahafVy & Clinkskill, the Herald otlice, Koman Catholic and English churches, telegraph ollice, and several boarding houses and y)rivate residences. Tlie future of the little town seemed bright. Being the seat of Government for an immense territt^ry, and being mi the line of the Camuliun Pacific Jkuilway, why should it not? Disappointments were in store for it, however. The route of the C. P. K. was changed, and on the 27tli of March, 1883, the seat of Government was removed to Kegina. Thus the peojile who had settled in Battleford and the sur- rounding country with the understanding that they would be in the vicinity of the cajiital and on the line of railway found their hopes blasted. Having a firm faith in the country, however — a faith based on its great natural advantages, its rich soil, its luxuriant grass, pure water, timlier and coal — flu'y did not desert their newfountl homes, and instead of the settlement decreasing in iio[)ulation it gradually increased. In 1883 a rival town wa^ e.oiumenced by A. Maedonald on the liigli ]>lateau between the Battle river and Saskatchewan, and about a mile north of the former. The superiority of the new site was beyond disjiute. It Wiis not only picturesque, but it was closer to the Juivigable waters of the Saskatchewan, upon which a lleet of steamboats had been placed. SASKATCHEWAN DIKECTORY. — BATTLEFORD. As a consequence the old town not only ceased to grow, but gradually lost its old time prestige. At the beginning of the year 1885 the new town had developed to considerable dimensions. Though somewhat irregular and scattered, its appearance from the surrounding hills was exceedingly striking, and the observer could not help but feel that if ever there was a spot marked out by nature for the foundation of a city that spot was where Battleford stood. But if fate had dealt harshly with the old town previous to 1885, that year was destined to have recorded in its annals a calamity the effects of which were felt by all the settlers of the district. Early in the spring of this year Kiel raised the standard of revolt at Batoche, and his faithful ally I'oundmaker marshalled his over-fed warriors and attacked the town of Battleford. The history of the events connected with the Indian up- rising is too well known to need detailing in these yjages. The old town was almost destroyed, the caitle of the settlers of the district were driven off and many of their houses burned. Many lives v/ere also lost. When the Indians had been driven to their reserves, and the smoke of battle cleared away all that was left of the old town was the Government buildings, the registry office, the Herald office, and the residences of Mr. Nash, i\ G. Laurie, Frank Qtton and a few others. Since that time there has been little change excepting the improvement made to the old Gov- ernment buildings and the opening of the Industrial School. The new town has gone on developing, the buildings destroyed in the old town being replaced in the new on a larger scale. Almost every profession and business is represented, and though there would seem to be a lack of trade, business men are generally prosperous, only one failure having taken place since the commencement of the settlement. Iforaiiy, socially and intel- lectually Battleford people compare favourably with the citizens of any place in the Northwest. If they err it is on the side of over-generous hospitality — an evil leaning to virtue's side, and characteristic of western towns. The population of the town, including, of course, South Battleford, is about five hundred, divided about e(iually between French, Metis and The English. Mercantile Interests of Battleford are re])resented by A. Macdonald (formerly Mahoney & Macdonald, the[tioneer merchants of the settlement), the H. B. Co., which previous to the settlement of Battleford had a temjjorary winter trading l)08t a few miles northwest of tiuit point ; MahatVy iS: Clinkskill, who commenced business in 1881^, all general merchants; Dr. A. IV Mackay, chemist and druggist; II. II. Millie, watchmaker and jeweller; Mac- gregor it. Gallagher, butchers ; Mrs. Karkins, millintir and dressmaker, and I*. G. Laurie, editor and publislu'r of the S(iskst of $3,(J0U. It is 24 X 45, inside, well finished, and capable of seating 140 people. Very little debt remains on it, which sjieaks well for the Chris- tian zeal of the congregation. The church is located in a central position, and presents quite a creditable apjiearance. Educational. In the field of education Battleford is not behind other Nortliwest towns, having two ])ublic schools, and an Industrial school tor the educa- tion of Indian chilih-en. From tbe foundation of tlie town uj» to 1880 schools were carried on by private subscription. In May of that year both Ronum Catholic and Protestant ]uiblic schools were established, the former on the 4tU of tiie month and the latter on the 2yth. The assessed value of property belonging to members of the Catholic church is .^50,000, and that of the Protestant cliurches l?! 44,499, the revenue in each case exceeding the expenditure. Roth schools are in charge of competent teachers, and the pupils are making rajjid advancement. The Industrial Scliool for the education of Indian children is carried on in the old Government buihiing, which was refitted throughout for that ])urpose at considerable cost. About tiiirty children attend the school, which is under the direction of Rev. Thomas Clarke, for .some years teacher on Red Piicusant's reserve. Pesides the English language the childnm are taught useful trades. That the school will l)e the means of doing much good there is no doulit. Newspapers. Next to the Christiiin missionary in a new country ranks the news- ]iaper missi(»nary. Among the latter and in the forefront of that noble ])halanx of civilizing agencies, stands I'. G. Laurie, editor and proprietor of the Sask(tfcliiw(i7i Herald. Indeed it is a question whether the hiMt(ny of jonrnalism allbrds a paraUcl to his in enterprise. At the time of his arriviil in Ratticford the settlers did not number a score, and tiui first issue of the llcnihl contained only one local advertisement — that of Mahoney tSi Alacdonald, now A. Macdonald. With the developnu'ut of the settlement, however, his advertizing ]>atr(tnagh preceding there are others worthy of special mention. Among these are 58 SASKATCHEWAN DIIIECTORY. — BATTLEFORD, W. J. SCOTT, ^\]!o was ii])poiiited Kegistnir of the r>attlef(jrd district when the North- west Goven.;:!'- nt was first f'orme(i. He is a brother of the Hon li. W. Scott, a native of the Ottawr district, and by profession a barrister. ]Jurin<^ his residence in Battleford he lias taken a deep interest in every movement having; for its end the advancement of the prosperity of the town and district. In the early days his house was a siielter to the mis- sionaries, who will ever hold in grateful rememberance his many deeds of kindness. Socially Mr. Scott has ever ranked :.o the most genial of companions. He lives in South Uattleford, is in religion a Roman Catholic, and a Liberal in politics, though he studiously refrains from interfering in political matters. HUCH KICHAUDSON, JR. This gentleman is a son of Lt.-Col. Hugh liichardson, Chief JusLice of the Sujjreme Court of the Northwest, and occupies the three-fold position of chief telegraph agent, postmaster, and deputy-clerk of the Supreme Court for the District of Saskatchewan. He has been a resident of the Battleford district ever since the telegraph line was constructed, and was the first to " hold down the lightning" in Battleford, the office then being ill the late liarney Freeman log shack at the foot of the hill as you enter the Battle IMver valley by the trail from Prince Albert. Mr. llicliardson has always been very popular with his fellowcitizens. He owns con- siderable projierty in the town and has a firm faith in a prosj)erous future for the ex-capital of the Northwest. A. P. FORGET. This gentleman is a brother of the very popular clerk of the Northwest Council, and has l)een a rc^sident o^ Battleford from its earliest days. As may be understood from his name, he is a Frenchman, born and brought up in the Province of (Quebec. He has a farm close by the town, is a notary, and was for some time deputy-sherifl' of the district. In the annals of the early missionaries he also figures among those whose roof always aifbrded them a welcome shelter. ROBERT WYLDE. This gentleman is an ex-member of the Mounted Police, and came to the Northwest in 1874, with the first detachment of police, under Col. French. While connected with the force he had an opportunity of seeing the most of the Northwest, and on leaving the service, some years ago, lie took a claim, in com])any with Mr. Bourke, on the north side of the Saskatchewan, and immediately opposite the town. Mr. W. is, while a careful business man, one of the most genial of souls, and lioes every- thing he can to make life merry. He is a young man, inmarried, a Conservative in politics, and a native oi Dundas, Ont.

',0 Seeing K the lile a Ivery- liod, a .'ford, tlmt a history of the town lacking special mention of him would not only be inconii.^ete but a mistake. He is a native of Kent, England, and was educated at the Mercers College, London, England, coming to Canada in 1872, He was employed as an assistant on a Government telegraph survey in Nova Scotia from 1870 to 1880. He was Government engineer in charge of telegraph construction in British Columbia and the North- west Territories from 1880 to November, 1882, since which date he has been District Superintendent of Government Telegraphs and 1 )istrict Elec- trician for Manitoba and the Northwest Territories. He is a member of the Society of Electrical Engineers and Electricians of London, England ; a member of the Institute of ""Electrical Engineers, New York ; Associ- ate Member of the Society of Civil Engineers of Canada, and Life ^lem- ber of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Since assuming the duties of his ])resent office he has been very ])opular with the employees of the telegraph service, they having presented him, on the 24th of December, 1886, with an address and a magnificent silver cup as an evidence of the high appreciation of him *as a superior officer and as a gentleman. He was also banquetted last October, on the eve of his departure for the east. He is a son of ¥. N, Gisbornc, F.K.S.C, Ottawa. WM. m'kay. This gentleman is a Junior Chief Trader in the H. B. Co.'s service and has charge of the Company's post at Battleford. He is a brother of ThoS. and James McKay, and a brother-in-law of Hon. L. Clarke, of Trince Albert. Like all the head otHcers of the Company throughout the Northwest, he is very j)opular. While always striving to advance the interests of his employers he takes a deejt interest in the success of Battleford. He is about 38 years of age, a native of Manitoba, and has been in the em[tloy of the Company ever since a permanent ])ost was established at Battleford. MAHAFFY iX CLINKSKILL. These gentlemen catne to Battleford in 188.'). The foriUer was for some time in the Dominion Bank, Toronto, and subse(iuently carrie-d on business in Darlingford, Manitoba. ^Ir. Clinkskill is a native of Glasgow, Scothind, and came to the NoiUiwest in 1882, more to see the country than for any other purpose. Liking the country, however, he fornuMl a ]tartnership with Mr. Mahatl'y and commenced business in Prince Albert, in the store now occupied by Charles ALiir. In 188.'i tliey r(>moved to Battleford, commencing business on the main street of tlie new town. Both are thorough business men and the firm are doing a large and con- stantly increasing trade. PRINCE RROS. The.se gentlenuui are the proprietors of the Battleford grist and sawmill, and cam'' to the Saskatehewiin from St. lioi.'face. They ereeted tli.'ir mill in 1884, a short distance south of the steaml);)at landing on tlu^ Saskatchewan, and last year removed it closer lo the river, putting iu GO SASKATCHEWAN DIIiECTOliY. — liATTLEFORD, additional machiney and otherwise improving it. They obtain their logs partly from Edmonton and partly from the forests adjacent to Battleford, Last year's croy» of wheat being large, as well as other grains, the mill has been running steadily all winter. The brotliers also do considerable farming, and in many ways contribute to the progress of the settlement, JOHN CAKNEY. This gentleman has for a number of years been connected with the Indian ofHce, Jiattleford, in the capacity of Assistant Agent. He was for a number of years a resident of Windsor, Ont., and at one time carried on a fur trading business in Fcft v^'^illiam. He is well posted in the characteristics of the n, >'es, .i m..kes a good officer. He is a brother uf Dr. Carney, of Wind, r, (h;i., aud a brother-in-law of P. G. Laurie, of the Herald. i). h ' .'.INK. This gentleman is one of the most t nterprising citizens of Battleford. He is not a professional man, nor does he carry on any one particular business. He is, properly speaking, a speculator, and he seldom fails to realize a good profit out of his ventures. He recently purchased the ma- chinery of Coleridge & Co's mill, which has for some time been lying at the mouth of Turtle lliver, and intends putting it up in Battleford. Mr. C. was at one time a resident of Winnipeg, where he carried on the very honorable business of water-carrier. EDOUARD RICHARD. Tliis gentleman is one of the most widely known men in the North- west, having been the first sheritt' of the Territories. He is a native of Quebec, and was at one time a ])artner of the Hon. Wilfred Laurier, now leader of the Liberal party. He was also a member of the House of Commons for a number of years, taking a high place in the ranks of the Liberal party, though himself a ])ronounced protectionist. He abandoned politics, however, to seek his fortune in the Northwest, and was subse- (^uently appointed sheriff. He is now following his profession. H. H. MILLIE. Wherever you go in the Northwest, or any other country, you are sure to tind natives of the Emerald Isle. They flourish in all climates and keep neck-and-neck with their fellowcitizens of other nationalities in the race uphill. Jiattleford has its Irish citizens, and the gentleman whose name heads this paragraj)h is one of them. He is a native of Dublin, and in his boyhood days he used to play football on College Green and hunt bailiHs, the latter being tlie national amusement. Now, however, Mr. Millie is following the business of watchmaker and jeweller, ami is doing a good trade. Sober, industrious, and trustworthy, he will not fail to do credit to the land of his birth and the land of his adoption. There are some other gentlemen, among them Mr. Harper, Mr. Bourke, Dr. A. B. McKay, J. A. Skelton, Wm. and K. C. Laurie, J. G. Oliver, Wm. Latimer, and F. Marigold, whose length of residence in the town would entitle them to special notice, but want of space forbids it. SASKATCHEWAN DIUECTOUY. — RATTLEFORD. Gl f^anehes in Saitleford ^istiet. McFarlane Bros., Eagle Hills — Twenty-two miles east of Battleford, south of the Saskatchewan, in tlie foot hills of the Eaghj Hills, is situated the ranche of J. M, and Thos. AIoFurlane. The brothers are oldtimers in the district, having taken uj) homesteads some years ago in Tp. 43, li, 17. After the Indian rising of 1885, in which they lost heavily, the brothers removed to their present location and commenced the ranching business. It would be hard to hud a tract of country better ada])ted for I'anching tlian the broken and well wooded slopes of the Eagle Hills. Nothing is left unsuj)plied necessary for the raising of vast herds of horses and cattle, fresh water and luxuriant grass being abundant. The brothers have about one hundred head of young horses bred from jMontana brood nuires and two thoroughbred rercheron stallions. This grade of anini ' ■ the brothers consider are the best adapted for the Northwest, being ». it ^ . 'y hardy, but adapted for the ph>w, wagon, buckboard or saddle. '; '>e b' ers have also about one lu'udred head of grade cattle, besides ■■h. t})o*-oughbred bulls. All the animals with the exception of the stallio? ii.e . t run during the winter, tiie blulls affording them am])le shelter, and ti . I ottomlands abundance of grass and fresh water. The brothers conli' ^ themselves solely to ranching. Their corral is near the trail to Prince A* .' . and their snug bachelor ([uarters always afford a cheerful welcome to travellers. They are ffom near .Montreal, are thorough business men and bound to succeed. Stephen Warden, Eagle Hills — Adjoining McFarlane Bros, on the east i.s situated the farm and ranche of Stephen — more familiarly known as "Sandy" — Warden. It is just on the eastern limit of the trail th gh the foot hills of the Eagle Hills, which from Battleford to this poi rm the south shore of the Saskatchewan and are cut up by ravin^ and thickly wooded. It is better adapted for ranching than farming, being too much broken for the latter purjjose. j\ir. Warden's herd of cattle does not exceed fifty head at present, jtvincipaily grades. Last year he had a good croj), his oats averaging 's high as sixty bushels to tlie acre. " Sandy " is one of the earliest se* lers of the district, is a thorough business man ami much respected. Fiiilayson cf- MacdoiUdll, Eagle Hills — These gentlemen are located near McFarlane Bros., but further from the river. Air. Finlayson arrived with his brothers in the Battleford district in 1879, settling in the liattle river valley, where he remained until after the Indian rising of 1885, when he embarked in the rajiching business with Claude Macdowall. Chas. M. Dannais, Eagle Hills — This gentleman i.^ among the most enterprising of the settlers of the Battleford district, being I'resident of the Agricultural Society during 1887. He has a large band of cattle, ]irincii)ally grades, anu)ng them lieing a tlioronghbred bull. He thinks there is no place in the Northwest etpial to the Eagle Hills for cattle raising, and is gradually increasing and improving his baud. He alsf) farms extensively, having a large crop last year, and his experience goes 02 SASKATCHEWAN DlUEUTOliY. — BATTLEFORD. to sliow tliat a man can succeed in the Battleford district. Cattle brand, "C D" higli on left hip ; horse brand, same, low on left hip. Wylde <(• Bovrke — The farm and ranche of these gentlemen is situated on the north side of the Saskatchewan river, immediately opposite Bat- tleford. Tliey have, altogether, about 1,000 acres, having 125 acres under crop last year, ten acres of wheat and the rest principally oats and potatoes. They are both ex-members of the Mounted Police and have been settled in Battleford for a number of years. At the time of the rising in 1885 they had the largest herd of any general farmer on the Saskatchewan, but lost almost every animal during that spring. Their lo3s was not less than $15,000, a portion of which was paid them last fall. With this they are endeavoring to restock their ranche. They are both persevering men, and are bound to succeed.

Finliiysoii Bros., Battle River — Nothing proves more conclusively the 'ertility of the soil surrounding Battleford, and its general fitness for the purposes of farming* and stock raising than the experience of the settlers themselves. The Finlayson Bros, arrived in Battleford, in 1879, and when they took up their present claim were not only without money, but were actually in debt. By industry and perseverance at the end of three years they not only had paid their debts, but had seven hundred acres fenced, and one hundred and sixty acres broken, of which ninety acres were under erop. They had also two good houses and stabling for ten horses and thirty head of cattle. Unfortunately for themselves as well as for others, the peace of the district was disturbed in the spring of 1885, by an Indian rising, and their cattle driven off and houses burnt. Nothing daunted, however, the brothers set to work again to replace what they had lost, building new houses and restocking their farm. They had a lieavy crop last year, the average per acre being very large, and exceeding that of any previous year. Their farm is situated about six miles west of Battleford, in the Battle river valley. D. L. Clink, Battleford — This gentleman is a comparatively new addi- tion to the ranchmen of the district, though an old and enterprising citizen of Batthiford. When shrewd men such as he go into stockraising it is a pretty sure sign that the business pays.

There is no better Held for settlement in the Northwest Territories than this region. The soil is a black, sandy loam, with clay subsoil. There is abundance of good water, an unlimited sup ply of rich hay, and abundance of timber for fuel and building purposes. There are a number of the best class of settlers in the district. Thoroughbred cattle, horses and sheep are numerous. Cheese and buttermaking is car- ried on, for which products a ready market is found in Prince Albert at good prices. An agri- cultural society was established in the settlement in 1886, and an exhibition is held aimually. There is a public school in the settlement, but no churches or resident ministers, missionaries from Prince Albert visiting the settlement at stated ptM-ioils.

The Col nidation Soeiety secured t]is. ilG, 37 and 38, ranges 4, 5 and (j, west of tlie 3rd ]irinci])al meridian, in 1838, and Saskatoon was established the following year and made their local headcuiarters. Not- withstanding many serious draw- backs the colony has rapidly in- creased. There are three general stores, one tinsmith, a large brick hotel, a dressmaker, j)l)ysician, school, Methodist church, post- oHice, a notary, real estate and insurance agent, also masons and carpenters, in the town. Crops in the settlement last year were good, though, owing to the lack of a local market, a very small area was sown. A number of grade and thoroughbred cattle have been im|)orted by the settlers. The soil is good, though timber for fuel and buihling purposes is scarce. The placing of small tugs on the river between Sas- katoon anti the wooded country to the north, and the establish- ment of railway connection with j the south, east and west will ; bring the cost of those neiessaries, j as well as others, down to a| reasonable \e\A. There is a de- 1 tachment of Mounted Tolice at'. Saskatoon, and telophonc connec- \ tion has been established with , the Government telegraph office at Clark's Crossing. Mail arrives , every two weeks by way of I'rii' J Albert, lioman Ciitholic and Anglican misiotiaries visit the settlement at stateil intervals. There is a swing ferry on the river.

Among the best fields for settlement in the Northwest, stands the Shell Kiver country, about fifteen miles north-west of Prince Albert. The soil is rich, timber for all purposes is abundant, and the siip))ly of hay and fresh water is illimitable. To the jioor man, especially, is it adapted, the cost of hay and tinilier being sinqjly the cost of cutting plus the ( Jovennnent fees. Thus omt'ortablc buihlings can be erected, fencing done, hay secureti, and horses, cattle and sheep wintered for a mere tritle compared with a purely prairie country. Added to these advan- tages, settlers in the SluU liiver country will have the benefit of being chjse to a good, and ever increasing market, at better [irices than can be ol>tained in the south or east. There are but few settlers in the country, and there is room for thousands of indus- trious farmers. A missionary in connection with the English Church is stationed at Assisippi.

Stone river. It is the oldest post of the H. B. Co. in the interior, having been established over one hundred years ago. It has had many famous visitors in its time, among them being Sir Alexander Mackenzie, Sir John Franklin, and Capt. W. V. Butler, author of the " Great Lone Land." Time, however, has made little change in the post for the better. Indeed it has lost much of the prestige it enjoved in the early days when it was the base of supplies for the interior. The inhabitants of the district are principally Halfbreeds and Indians. Steamboats call regularly on their way from Grand Rapids to Prince Albert, Battle- ford, and Edmonton. There are two churches at the post — English and Roman Catholic — with resi- dent missionaries. Very little farming is done, the inhabitants who are not connected with tlie H.

It is dt this point the boats from Winnipeg connect with those on the Saskatchewan. A tramway was built some years ago from the lake shore along the north side of the river, to a point above the rapids, for the conveyance of goods and pessengers to the river steamers. There is an H.

The Navigation Company have also a warehouse at the western end of the tramway, together with a boardinghouse for the accommo- dation of passengers. There are very few inhabitants at Grand Rapids at present, though with building of the H. B.

SASKATCHEWAN DIHECTORY — FRENCH SETTLEMENTS. 93 gfie: ^reineh gdtkm^nts. Besides the French Canadians and Metis who are scattered thronghout the outlying districts of Saskatchewan, there are hve French settlements, or Missions, located on or near the South Branch of the S.isUatclu-wan river. Of those settlements St. Laurent is the oldest. It was urigiually composed of those ])laiu hunters who used to meet and pass the winter on the South Branch a little above what is now known as Fish Creek. It was subsequently augmented by the arrival «»f other plain hunters from the south, and by emigrants from Manitoba, who spread tliL-m- selves along the river from Fisii Creek to what is now known as St. Louis de Langevin. Numbers also settled around what is now known as Duck Lake, or Stobart, and some aroun I Fort Cirleton. St. Laurent mission was established in 1873 by Kev. I'ere Andre, nou oi Calgary. The l)uck Lake mission was also established by liev. Pere And"e in 1874. Ilev. Fere Touze is now in ciiarge of the mission. He also teaches the school. The mission of St. Antoine, baloclie, was established in 1882, the first resident missionary being Ilev. Fere Vegerville, now of St. Albert. This mission is now in charge of Rev. Fere Moulin. The mission of St. Louis de Langevin was established in 1886, by Itev. Fere Lecoque, who also has charge of the Fisii Creek mission. A postoltice has recently been opened in this latter settlement on section 42, township 40, range 2 west of the third meridian, called Alvena. There are schools in all the settlements except the latter. There is a postotlice at St. Laurent mission, a telegraph oHice and a store. liev. Fere Fourmond has charge of the i)03totHce. There is a postotiioe at Duck Lake known as Stobart, and a trading post keiit by Wm. Stobart & Son, and managel by W. H. Mitchell. Tliere is also a gristmill, at which excellent flour is made. There are three stores at Batoche mission, a postollice and a saloon. There is a store at McDougall's crossing, St. Louis de Langevin, and a postoltice known as Bouchere has recently been opened on sec. 11, tp. 45, range 27.

AND GENERAL MERCHANTS, SASKATCHEWAN riEECTORY — TOWN OF BATTLEFORD. 99 BUSINESS DIRECTORY OF oWn 0^ ^atilo^ord. ^f Situation — The Town of Battleford is situated on tlie south side of the Saskatchewan liver, a little west of the junction of the former with the Battle river. The original location of the town was on the Battle river, about a mile from the Saskatchewan, where the Xorthwest Government buildings were erected in 1877. In its primitive days it was known as Telegrajih Flat. While the original site of the town was iKtt witluiut its attractions, the site of the jtresent town, or Xoith Battlcfoil, is ])eihan3 unequalled for 1' auty and natural ailvantag(!S in the Northwest. Situated on the Iml i ground whicli divides the two rivers, and which slopes gradually tn the north, south and east, it will riM^uire no great engineering skill to keep streets and cellars dry, while its proximity to two rivers guarantees water for all jmrposes. Like all towns in the Korthwest. it ])re.sents a somewhat irregular ajijiearaiiee, niid m built almost entirely of wood. Woodt-n buildings of the chea|i('st character, however, mark the first stage in the career of a western town — the stage of uncertainty — out of whiv-h Battleford, notwithstanding the removal of the seat of Government to Kegimi, the th'struction wrought by thi; Indians in the s))ring of 188"), and other dilHculties, is slowly but surely advancing. The pojiulation of the town is about oUU, equally divided between English and French. Adniutdgff — Battleford is connected during the season of mivigation with all ]ioints on the Saskatchewan, and good trails \vm\ to Ft. Pitt, Prince .Albt rt, and Swift Current, on the (.'. 1'. P., froin which latter jioiiit the mail arrives weekly. It is surrounded by a good country I'or I'arnnug and stock raising. There are, of course, bad, or what a]iptar to be bail, sections, as is tlie case in nil countries. Siillicient good land, however, is to be I'ound to make homes for many thousands of indus- trious farmers within easy di>tunir. The crops last year were exccdlent, {. vurv variety of jjrain und vegetables having been successfully ruistd. Mliothka ) 100 SASKATCHE'WAN DIRECTOrvY— TOWX OF BATTLEFORD. and the yield per acre being equal to that of any other section of the Northwest. For stock raising, also, the Ijaltleford district aflurds ample scope. Good locations for ranches are to be found on all sides of the town, where grass and fresh water are abundant. For this purpose the Dagle Hills, lying to the south, and extending eastward along the Saskatchewan, cannot Ije surpassed. Already a large number of thorough- bred horses, cattle and sheep have bi;eu imported, and each year will add to thtir numbers. Lack of railway communication with the cast is a drawback to the place. But even with this dilliculty to contend with the farmers of the district are better otf than those who live in the south, where the price of produce is low, timber for building, fencing and fuel is dear, and water scarce. They have everything at hand but a market for their surplus, which will be supplied in a couple of years at most. Stores. — Battleford has four general stores, all of which carry heavy stocks, and one of which does a banking business; one drug store, one watchmaker and jeweller, and one butcher shop. Iiidustrieft. — One saw and gristmill, three blacksmith shops, one tin- smith shop, one bakery, two breweries, one brickyard, one cabinet shop, one [)aint shop, and one millinery. Schools. — There are two public schools, one Roman Catholic and one Protestant, bo h under charge of qualified teachers and well attended. An Industrial School was established in the ohl Government buildings, last year, for the education of Indian children from the reserves, which is doino: good work under the direction of Rev. Thomas Clarke. Churches. — There are three churches — English, Roman Catholic and Presbyterian — all of which are substantial buildings, and are in charge of resident missionaries. Kev)spapers. — The SashatcUexcan Ilerald, edited and published by P. G. Laurie. Hotels — There are three hotels, the Pioneer, Arcand and Albion, and three saloons.
