FACTS AND OPINIONS STATED BY OFFICERS OF THE MOUNTED POLICE,
THe working out of the prohibitory liquor law should be successful in the | Northwest Territory, if anywhere; for! there there is a large and well-organized body of police, who have little to do se long | ‘asthe law is not violated, and who have, ‘therefore, an interest, as well as a duty to perform, in maintaining it, The reports of the Police Commissioners and Superin- tendents, are, therefore, interesting to everyone. | Commissioner Herchmer states :
‘*The liquor question is in nearly the s:me position it was last year. There is stili a con- siderable outcry against the enforcement of the Act in the various towns, but not nearly jas much as last year. The facility of ob- |taining permits for the sale of four per cent.
beer and the great improvement in the qual- jity of that article has, to a large extent, less- ‘ened the demand for stronger beverages, and 'I thiak there has been much less drunkenness }in the country; certainly the free use of four )per cent. beer in the police posts where can- ‘teens have been estabiished for its s»le, has ‘made a very great difference in the conduct of {the men. It is generally conceded that per-
i
| proper resthictions would have a beneficial
jconsiderable discontent that undoutedly ex- ‘ists. Barley grows well, andin some sheltered places, hops, but at present they are unsale-’ jable. Home breweries would keep a consid- | erable amount of- money in the country and lafford a market to farmers for grain which | they could with great advantage grow, as it ‘can be sown long after the season for sowing 'wheat and oats expires. I myself have sown
{on 10th September.” Superintendent Cotton reports ;
“The ‘liquor laws,’ as the prohibitory clauses of the Northwest Act are often called, have given rise to considerable discussion. Iu the e+rly days prohibition was a necessity. It wes an important factor in maintainin peace among the Indians. The half-bree element also benefitted by it.
“The construction of the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway proceeded quietly, and the total absence of all serious crine— notwithstanding the sudden influx of thou- sands of rough navvies--was remarked with astonishment. This was again and again borne testimony to by prominent railway men who had had experience in other countries. Even with the efficient police suryeillance maintained, such happy results could not, I think, haye come about but for the prohibit- tory laws existing. That these laws were sometimes broxen, even in those days, is an undeniable fact. Such, however, was the ex- ception. not the rule.
‘Looking back over the history of the Ter- ritories, it cannot be gaid that prohibition was a failure or that it did not bring with it many good results.
‘‘Now, however, the situation is changed; towns and settlements have sprung up all over the Territories, The white population, in discussing these changes, has ventilated the subject freely and fuily in the Territorial press. Asa police force we have nothing to do with the different moral interpretations put on the Act.
“It must suffice for us to bear testimony to the fact that a prohibitory law dges nat give universal satisfaction.”
The consequenee is that in these days, when lawyers must live, the prohibitive law is practically inoperative. Of the thir- teen cases of breach of the prohibitive liquor law which have arisen within this district during the year, ten have resulted in conviction. In one of the remaining cases the liquor seized was found to be covered by a permit, which subsequently arrived, and in the other two cases the liquor was seized but the owners were con- spicuous by their absence. The two last mentioned instances are as follows :—On the 9th December, 1888, Sergeant. Ross seiged 100 galions of Montana whiskey, which was ‘‘cached” on the prairie about nine miles to the south of the town. He brought in thirty gallons of it, but having ro transport for the rest, and being assured that if he left it he would see it again no more, spilt it on the spot. The thirty gal- lons which he brought in were destroyed in my presence. On the 13th April (this is probably unique in North-West experience) our Indian scout, ‘* Star Child,” found a ten gallon keg af whiskey in possession of two men in the river bottom here and took it away from them. They tried cajvlery, threats and bribes, but he was impervious
Sergeant Ross, who brought it to the bar- racks, where it was destroyed. ‘‘ Star Chid” looked about for the men for a long while, but never succeeded in identifying ijthem. ; ** While on this sub- ject I may, perhaps, be permitted to say a jfew words onthe question of police Jus- ‘tices, now before the coyntry. For my | part, 1 have always avoided trying any cases whenever | cou'd possiby doso. Since | have been here I have accepted the situation | because there has been no help for it. In former years it has been within my ex- /perience that local justices have refused to try liquor cases onthe ground that they jcould not runthe risk of injuring their business. On one occasion I visited an out ‘station in connection with a liquor case— ‘found a local justice there, who was disin- ‘chned to have anything todo with it; re- presented to him that it was his duty to try ‘the case, but that if he would not do so I iwould. He finally oonsented, and convict- ed and fined the defendant.”
Superintendent Perry says : | Another year’s experience has given me no y pe
‘cause to change my views on this question, as
| ‘The permit system, at present fails to re- gulate the use of intoxicating liquor amongst a certain class. Permits are nominally issued
for domestic use only, but too often are ob-

The
“Ninety per cent, of the spirituous liquors| damage was done to the flanger or box car,
was imported by residents of the town.”
Superintendent Melilree says :—
** Liquor is obtainable and sold to the in- j itiatei in every saloon in Calgary ; and in a place the size of Calgary, where there are civic authorities and local police, and where they make no attempt whatever to interfere w:th |‘
sible for us to do much towards lessening it. The saloons are searched occasionally and pienty of liquor found ; but, asa rule, it is covered by permits. Some of the permits are ancient, but a permit is a _ bermit, and it is quite impossible to prove that the liquor found was not im- ported under the permit produced. Permits have not been granted to saloon-keepers for some time, but many people who are granted permits leave thea in saloons or turn them
have a fuli supply of other people’s permits, and as it has been ruled that liquor legally brought into the country can then legally be in anybody’s possession, it is no use to move in the matter. All we can do is to endeavor to prevent lipuor being imported in large quantities, It isno use trying to deny the fact that the sentiment of the greater part of the country is distinctly adverse to the statute on this subject ; we get no sympathy with our efforts to put a stop to the trafic, and it is the most disagreeable of the many duties we have to perform. During the past season two large seizures were made—one at Laggan, on 4th March, of G11 gallons, was found in a car of lumber. Oa the 17th October 392

liquor or intoxicant shall be imported into, é&c., &c., or had in possession in the North- west Territories, ‘except by special permis- sion, in writing, of the Lieutenant-Governor,” but there is no penalty provided for the en- forcement of this broad enactment.”
Settiers in the Northwest. KespecrineG the condition of settlers in the Northwest Territories, the Assistant! t Commissioner of the Northwest Mounted Police reports that the season has not been a favorable one in some portions of the Territory for agriculture, particularly in that part east of Regina, the extreme drought having resulted in very poor crops. Still, even in that section some of the good farmers had fair crops, and those in mixed farming have not suffered much, as butter, eggs and poultry have been a fair price.

There is | no doubt but that from one point of view they are good settlers, but the general im-, pression exists that they are polygamists. | They have purchased a tract of land from the Nerth West Coal and Navigation Co., and next year a large number of their peo- ple will settle there, In spite of the poor crops in certain sec- tions, there should he very little suffering as work has been fairly good this year.
