Mr. Beaudry was born In 1831 in Carleton, Saskatchewan, now Duck Lake and when 18 years old he hired out as a buffalo hunter. About this time, in 1870, a treaty was issued by the fed oral government, in which the government acquired land from the Indians and to turn over to the incoming set tiers. It turned out to be the main cause of the oncoming up rising. This treaty gave reserves to the Indians and scripts to the half-breeds.

Scripts were titles or deeds which entitled the owner to 160 acres in any surveyed district. Having been hired as a hunter, he went on the so-called Bub falo Hunts. In this case he travelled as far as the e'lbow of the Saskatchewan River, not far from Calgary. They wintered there, hunting buffalo for livelihood and making buffalo robes and pemican, which they later traded for food and sup plies. Before the 187C treaty, the main hunting weapon was bow and arrows, but later they used answers to vicinity of Child's pet.

This expedition took him to Winnipeg, crossing over 800 miles in weeks, with 10 Red River carts.

During this time the metis, grown weary of waiting for surveyors had either sold or bartered their scripts for liquor and resumed hunting. The railway came through and settlers poured- into the new territory, slaughtering buffaloes by the thousands. The Indians and' half-breeds were forced to find other ways of making a living. The railway did away with freighting by carts, and fur-bearing animals were quickly disappearing. Finally the Indians turned to farming on their reserves, the half-breeds squatted on narrow free-cut farms, without scripts.

Trouble arose as to ownership of the land. Surveyors came out and set to work dividing the land into districts and townships. In doing so they crossed the half-breed farms. The latter, fearing the loss of their land, convened and decided to send representatives across the lines to seek the aid of Louis Riel. Riel, then a school teacher, was the only educated half-breed, thus putting him in a position to lead them.

Mr. became one of Riels personal friends, but was never made one of his leaders. Riel drew up a bill of rights 'and sent it to Ottawa, but his letter was never answered. Ga briel Dumont was made military leader, and under him Louis ordered the metis to rise against the government. A contingent of police started from Carleton to intercept Riel's seditious plot.

A few miles up the river from Batoche they met an Indian messenger, took his gun away and killed him. A short time later they were stopped by a small group of Du. monts soldiers, where four half-breeds and twelve police were killed. The remainder of the Mounties continued to Prince Albert after burning down Fort Carleton. Word was sent to Swift Current for police aid.

A patrol was sent and it was met on the South Saskatchewan River by a band of their aggressors. They fought till nightfall, when the rebels were called back to gather in Batoche, followed close behind by the police, who set up their camp not two miles away. A few days later the Mounties charged the fort but were stopped by a high ridge between them and the stronghold. Four days of endless battles went on.

Great activity in mining and the staking of several important, claims in the area adjacent to Stoney Rapids, a settlement of 100 persons on the eastern tip of Lake Athabasca, is reported by Oliver Shaw, farthest northern field officer with the Department of Natural Resources.

Mr. Shaw recently returned to his post lly airplane and was interviewed here. Stoney Rapids, whirh thrives mainly through the fur trade and the ever-present Hudsons Bay post, has caught the eye of International Mining Arctic Yellowknife, Nicholson Mines, Eldorado, Athona Dee Exploration and Nisto Mines, all of which companies keep men in the field on exploration work, from spring break-up time to well on in the winter months, according to Mr. Shaw. V4LU4BLE FROrRTV The teacher William Hanche- Stoney from outside twice year- the owned at 75 per season.

This years migration took three weeks to a month to pass the settlement. Every hunter and his family is well supplied with meat and hides. Last year the, caribou, by some queer twist of fate, did not come near Stoney Rapids and a near crisis existed for many months. He stated that he had not witnessed the great herds of caribou, as are mentioned in the writings of Vilhjalmar Stef-fansson, who Mr. Shaw visited personally last, year, but the herds do run into the thousands.

Field Officer Shaws district extends from the Alberta border to the Manitoba border and north to the Northwest Territories. He covers the area mainly by aircraft and his local patrols are done by canoe In the summer and dogsled in the winter. He works closely with CpL Stevenson of the R.C.M.P., also stationed there. At Camsell Portage, teacher Bob Peters does some work for Mr. Shaw as does Father Ga-machi in the settlement of Fond du Lac.
