A dense Cloud of smoke is suing from the rear part. With the Aid of buckets and the Dock pump and Hose the flames wore extinguished in about fifteen minutes after discovery.

The origin of Tho lire Tho explosion of a lamp in. The watchman s head Star. To Metis attack upon Rev. My Doi Gall. To the editor of Tho daily Fobb press. The English speaking a right to be thankful for the Opportunity Given them by you of perusing the abusive and slanderous article of be Metis Anont the government having instructed the Rev goo Mcdougall with an unofficial Mission of pacification and Promise to the indians of the Saskatchewan. That the Organ of the prelates instigated the late rebellion should feel sore because of the recognition by Tho government of such a Loyal and devoted subject a Bov Geo Mcdougall has proved himself to is not sur but that a paper controlled by such a polished and courteous gentle Man As or Royal claims to be should descend to give utterance to such slanderous untruths As the article in question contains can Only to accounted for by Tho supposition that it was intended Only for the edification of the French population and was never intended for translation into English. Those who Are conversant with Saskatchewan affairs know Tho services of or Mcdougall in the cause of civilization and loyalty too Well to be influenced by these slanders against his Good name but As there Are Many people now resident hero to whom his name Only is known it becomes the Friendly duty of one who knows Tho circumstances to place on record some of Tho reasons Why it is eminently fit and proper that to should to entrusted in a grave emergency with a Mission to the indians of Tho North West. When Tho news was received at fort Edmonton of Tho occupation of fort Garry by Kiel and the apparent Triumph of the rebel lion the future seemed Black indeed for the handful of White settlers in that Iso lated place. Rumours wore soon Hoard of Tho intention of Tho French to seize Tho fort and villains appeared on the Suraco. Strutting around and through the fort apparently seeking out Tho Strong Points and noting particular Booty for private disposal. At this important crisis Tho Man for the occasion arose in or Mcdougall who demanded of or Christie then in charge that Tho fort cutes be closed and the Loyal Whites armed and Phiech on guard. This was done Jund though the time doomed Long until better news came and Many of Tho Small band would have consented to accept Tho apparent Situa Tion the constant presence and inspiration of their Loyal and intrepid Leader who never wavered fora moment in his belief that bettor news would come kept Tho position intact and the West Ern part of the North West was saved to the Dominion without a struggle and untold misery and shod Provo Tod. To him also a the North West indebted for Tho final suppression of the liquor traffic by his efforts in influencing the then Liberal administration of the h b co. For Many years to Only magistrate in the North West who dared to go alone into Tho traders Camps and spill Tho contraband goods into Tho Gutter. To was also pro eminent with messes Christie and Hardisty of the h b co in devoting time and efforts towards maintaining schools for Tho adult and. Youth of that isolated population for did the French of Tho Mission encourage education among these people until these efforts of Tho Metho dist missionary and protestant gentle men shone out in too Strong contrast with Tho tendencies of their More than fifty years occupation. These Are Only few of the Points that occur to me though his whole career and life has Boon Ono of self Devotion to our institutions and Tho cause which to has re presented in our far North West for the past twelve years and when Tho history of the great Lone land is Complete Tho name goo Mcdougall will be found Graven deeply on its institutions. In conclusion i May state that the Mission entrusted to or Mcdougall Only not sought by him but refused again and Agni i until the urgency of the situation was so plainly proven that to could not do other than accept Tho temporary duty. Saskatchewan. Winnipeg sept 20th, 1875. Such provision to meet the wants of a Large proportion of the who have suffered pome what severely this past summer. The contingency is increased in. Moment by Tho fact that Rainy of the settlers who arrived during the past season in Manitoba have been unable to secure any crops but Are Able to Purchase if not prepared to any on an acknowledgement can be accepted As they Are Good for Tho sums they will owe and will in due time re it is therefore no More right that Tho minister of agriculture and emigration should make such pro vision for those people.
