EPITAPH ON HIS DOOR

Of Being Murdered.

Saskatoon, Sask.-Emmanuel Peter
son. Hudson Bay company trapper,
fell asleep in his lonely cabin in the
northern wilderness near Fond du Lac
II months ago. He lies today just as
he fell asleep. in his bunk with his
blankets tucked around him. The
wolves that howl about his shack and
the roaring billiards. that pile the win
ter SHOWS to the claphoard roof will
never awaken him from his slumber.
There he will continue to sleep, pos
sibly forever. His old log cabin, which
ne built himself, has become his
mausoleum. A sheet of paper tackled
on the door bears his epitaph written
in English, French Cree and Chepe-
wyan:
"This is the grave of Emanuel Pc
terson. Let no man disturb it."
Constable NJ. Chappins of the Royal
Northwest mounted police Travelled
1000 miles through snow and storm to
write that epitaph. His return to
Saskatoon after a three-months jour-
ney is the last chapter in the tale.
Suspected Staying.
News that man lay dead in cabin
somewhere north Of Lake Athabaska
trickled down out of the frozen North
to Edmonton last February. The man
had been dead then nine months.
There was suspicion that he might
have been murdered. Chappins was
assigned to make an investigation. 1t
is such work as this that has built
the heroic traditions of Canada's corps
of Scarlet Riders.
He set out from Prince Albert. A
branch line of one of. the transconti-
mental railways took him beyond the
farms to the northern end of the steel
highway at Big River. He QUILTED

wolves hung on his trail. They kill

camp. He killed them every day by
the dozen. This, Chappins believes,
saved his life, for the half-starved,
desperate brutes Toasted on the car
cases of their dead companions.
Faced Snow Alone.
A little farther on his Indian guide
turned back. The frozen desolation
that lay ahead struck him with panic
terror. Chappins went on alone. He
drove ahead two days in the teeth
of a blizzard. His provisions ran low.
He lived on short rations of pemmican
and tea. At the silver camp at Darnier
he obtained fresh supplies and new
guide and pressed on to the Hudson
Bay post at Fond du Lac.
He found Peterson's body perfectly
preserved in the cold, dry air. There
were no signs Of violence. Peterson's
diary lay open on table. The last
entry, made March %. 1918, read:
II am very sick. It would be hell IL

KNUTSON PREDICTS
IMMIGRATION BAN
Warning By British Officials
Expected to Bring Action
By Congress.

The warning OF British officials. as
contained in dispatches from London,
that the United States should take
steps to guard against being swamp
| ed by an avalanche OF immigrants
from Europe. has aroused keen in
terest among members OF the House
/ immigration Committee.
The prediction that 10000 900 per-
sons are eager to leave the continent.
and that most OF them will seek
4 homes in this country, il is said. will
spur Congress on TO q more speedy
consideration OF pending restrictive
legislation.
A temporary period OF suspension
OF immigration is expected to be
pressed as the best solution Of the
problem Immediately confronting the
United States. This is the view OF
Congressman KnutsOn OF Minnesota,
Republican whip. and also a member
OF the immigration Committee. He
said:
Two versions OF the immigration
situation have been presented to our
committee. One was that the Euro
pean countries. especially those in
which fighting took place. will need
lhS SCI NiSSS u every dOie-DOoieu man
in the task Of rehRbilitating the dew
astated regions. This demand will
create working conditions and such
attractive wages as to induce the
workers TO remain in their native
lands.
The second theory was that be-
cause OF unsatisfactory living con-
ditions in Europe, there will be 8 trc-
mendOus exodus As soon as transpoF-
tatiOn facilities make il possible
Il think temporary period OF
suspension OF immigration will be the
inevitable result This period may be
fixed at two or four years"
