VANCOUVER, B. C—Remote
stretches of Canadian Arctic winter
snow and tundra someday will be
patrolled by Canada's Royal North
west Mounted Police in airplanes
as well as on dog sleds, according
I to a dispatch received here from
i Ottowa, Canada's capital.
Many of the constables of the
5 R. N. M. P. who fought on French
i battlefields with Canadian forces,
distinguished themselves as aviators.
, These men, on their return, will
] form the nucleus of a flying force
j which it is expected will annihiliate
the distances which now render the
far north patrols tedious and haz
i ardous, the dispatch said,
j Trading settlements and other
; outposts of civilization along the
■ northern fringe of the continent
will not only receive better police
protection if airplanes are used but
| they will also be put in closer touch
; with the outside world. At pres
ent occasional winter patrols reach
] the posts at Herschel Island and
Fort McPherson, up on the Arctic.
These points should be visited often
by airplanes, it is believed.
And if the airplanes come. Can
ada’s red jacketed “unmounted"
mounted police will have iron steeds
j of the air to ride instead of horses,
j Up in the Yukon Territory the force
I still clings to the word “mounted"
; in its name and its members wear
; spurs on their boots. There are
i but few horses in the entire police.
, however Dog teams and snow
> shoes and sleds and launches are
| used to get over the country.

COGGY OR TRAIL
On his way in to Xenana, C. A. ■
Wheeler, who reached the end of
i steel last Saturday, says that he
| passed^W. A. Coghill traveling with
Lars Larson's dog team, about ten
miles from the Summit roadhouse,
on the Xenana side of it.
They had got into an overflow j
on the Cantwell river, about 15
! miles distant from the Summit road
house, and both of them appeared
; to be more or less wet.
j From Mr. Wheeler's account of
it, it would appear that they did
not follow the usual methods adopt
i ed by all sourdoughs in such cases,
and start a fire and dry out imme
diately. but continued the journey
in their wet condition. Fortunately
for them the weather prevailing was
mild, otherwise, he thinks, they
j would have suffered severely from
i frost bite,

death in clashes with Boche planes
I in the clouds or toying with fate
in fantastic aerial acrobatics has
driven the once constant smile from
the lips of Captain “Eddie” Rick
^enbacher, ace of American airmen
in France.
This is disclosed in a photograph
, of the airman, with his machine,
just received by a friend of Rick
enbacher's auto racing days, when
he resided in Des Moines. His face
now seems grim and set.
! “The smile of days gone by has
faded considerable as you will
notice" he confesses in an ae
| companying note. “This is my 220
horsepower Spad which I have had
eighteen victories with. Am feel
ing bully and hope to be back in
God s country soon again. Expect
to arrive on the Rhine in another
week.”

MOOSE DANCE i
i
i
The big barn dance to be given
by the Loyal Order of Moose comes
off on Saturday night, immediately
after the picture show, as the Coli
seum orchestra will supply the
music.
The committee having charge of
the arrangements are reported to
be working their heads off in an
effort to make the affair the great
est success of the season, and from
all accounts they will surely sue-'
ceed.
The committee wishes it to be
distinctly understood by those who
intend to attend the dance, that
boiled shirts and swell clothes are
strictly tabooed, and they therefore
request intending patrons to re-1
speet this requirement and appear
in working clothes, more in keeping
with barn surroundings, and help
thereby to make the function a
success.
Several innovations are to be in-1
troduced at the dance, and surprises
may be looked forward to. A fuller
account of the arrangements made
by the entertainment committee
will be published later.
