Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rod and Gun in Canada, Vol. 24: June, 1922 They were very tired, so after drinking a cup of tea, they both retired to sleep. We did not see anything more of the Boss that evening, as I suppose he was also and Mr. Armit was also in con ference with him in his private office, until a late hour. Early next morning the Union Jack was flying. The Indian chiefs, their councilfilors, and several of the buck Indians were in the Fort waiting to see the Boss. They had not long to wait, as he was up and around early. He met them in the square, shook hands all round, then invited them all into the Council Chamber in the Big House, where they all remained the greater part of the forenoon, among other things arran g for their fall advances. Litt e Dona d, the blacksmith, also arrived from the hay camp about noon, to report progress, and get some more grub for his crew. He was very anxious to start for Scotland, but the other men from the various Posts who were also going home, would not arrive for a week or ten days yet, so Donald concluded to camp at the Post that night as he wanted to see the Boss before he went down again. Haying appeared to be progressing at all posts and the freight was duly arriving at the different posts in ood condition. There were brigades o cart's' passing East and West almost daily, while survey parties were arriving and departing with supplies, this being the headquarters for all kinds and conditions of people who were coming into the country at that time.
