Writing of the work in the Arctic
the commissioner states in his report
"Along the coast of the Arctic ocean

Increased Duties Of Force.
Since the force was reorganized In
1920 it's duties have been greatly in
creased and an area of the range may
be gathered from the subjects dealt
with in the report, which shows that
the mounted police captured motor
bandits who had been terrorizing
Nova Scotia, investigated and made
many arrests for Illicit drug dealing
and smuggling: captured wreckers
who were footing steamers driven on
registered mail stolen from the post
office; took the census in parts of the
Yukon; supplied guards for the in
come tax offices, and escorts for har-
vesters' trains; assisted the Indian de-
partpent and policed the Arctic.
How self-reliant and many-sided an
officer Of the force must be is strik
ingly illustrated in the Instructions
sent to Staff Sergeant Joy, the non-
commissioned officer at the .Farthest

July 6, 1921, are as follows:
