Nikita Kruschev has been having a grand time slandering the life and work of the late Premier Stalin. By the looks of things he himself might soon be subjected to indignity--or worse. Whatever his faults, Stalin managed to retain power as long as he lived. Kruschev will be very lucky if he can do as much.

A current issue of 5-cent stamps bear the portrait of I grant Marl- timer.

He later became Premier of Nova Scotlo kind was the only Nova Scotia delegate to Ottawa, out of 18, who favored Confedera- tion.

What is less known-and prob- ably his most thrilling experience -was I trip in search of his daugh- ter, whose husband, Captain Cum- eron, hsd been seized and impris- oned by Louis Riel durlng llll reign of terror in the West. Mrs. Cam- eron's hnmzaze had been seized and she was compelled to live in a lonely liut. vulnerable to attack by the lndlami who were part.lculn- ly brazen due to the capture of the Hudson's Bay Company post. Fort Garry lwinnipegl, by Riel and the metis.

Dr. Tupper. nevertheless. set out to rescue his daughter. From Hul- fax he took a boat to New York and thence journeyed to Ottawa. There he lnurid Donald Smith, chief representative of the Hud- sonis Bay Company in Canada. who was going to Fort Garry to negotiate with Riel. Sir John A. MacDonald asked Mr. Tupper if he. too. could get to Fort Garry and learn what he could of the troubles there.

MANY DIFFICULTIES

Together they travelled by train to end of the line at St. Pnul, Minnesota. and from there by sleigh to Peblna. on the U.S. side of the border. The Americnnl were hostile but Tupper made some friends by attending to a nick girl. Smith wanted to go on alone. lie refused to allow Tupper to accom- pany him to Fort Garry. He said the rebels knew of the port Tup- per had played in Confederation; that they blamed all their trouble: on Confedentlon; and that his life would not be safe. But he promis- ed to try to secure their permis- sion to allow Dr. Tupper to come. smith continued the tourney alone. Chrlstmu came. There Ins no word from Smith. Tupper decided to proceed. He knew that before reaching Fort Garry he would pro- bably-ar he had bad to do rlnce leaving St. Paul- Ipend several nights in the open. And he knew the Amcrclans would not want him to leave. In haste and secrecy be gathered a buffalo robe. I loaf of bread and in bottle of wine. and fnduced n half-breed boy to drive the sleigh. Thus he slipped out of Pebina. llUDSON'8 BAY POST

They could not stop and camp): they had between St. Paul and Feb- ina. The boy became higlitened He wanted to go back. Dr. Tupper would not allow it. Tupper took the reins of the horse and walked ahead on the trail. He lost the way. A horse and two humans flounder- ed over the snow. Afraid of freez- ing. they had to keep moving. But the mist obliterated vision. They could not divine the direction of Scratching River. Occasionally the sky could be seen through the mist Ind Tupper recalled that. I!

The S.S. Prince Edward Island has arrived here from Quebec to undergo extensive reparix by Bruct Stewart and company. En- gines. pumps and boilers all need- ed repairs and there were many new facilities to be installed. The work was expected to take six weeks.
