Col. Irvine Complimented.

Speaking Of the mounted police, the
Ottawa Citizen observes: 1T is Of the
utmost Importance that such a force
should be differed by capable and well
qualified men. In this respect it is for
tunate. Combining the firmness of the
disciplinarian with the considerateness
of one who understands human nature,
the commissioner has proved himself to
be the right man in the right place, at
the head of the force"
In this connection it may not be I'M
Interesting to know that some import
ant changes have been made, or are
about to be made, in the staff appoint
mlents of the mounted police, one of the
most important being the promotion Of
Col. Herchmer to the position OF Assist
sant Commissioner, with headquarters
at Calgary. We have not yet definitely
learned what the other changes are
