venture far from the Hall.
Colin told Blair one morning
when they met al the trading post,
Its too deadly quiet to last. Sumr-
thing is going To happcu.'
\ few days later, he found MINI
self true rrophct-but not qUi,r
as he intended. II happened sud-
denly, almost without warning. and
it began with Tenants trapprrs.
For centuries the Cree Indians
had held large sections Of the bach.
country as breeding grounds Tor
fur animals, unmolcstrd by hunter
or trappcr. No law, either Indian
or white. enforced these natural
game preserves. yet the tradition
had been respected.
But not 10y Olsen Freeze up had
scarcely closed IN when the ,rarpyrS
Of Doves school brought word that
not only were Olsen and his partner
setting their lines in the very heart
Of the breeding grounds. but they
were probably using strychuiu",
One Cree dog team had already
picked up pieces of poisoned hai,
and fallen victim: Scllirk's chief
trapper had lost n dog on the trail
near Olscn's main trap line. Worse
followed.
Regardless OF prior rights. Ten
nant'S trappcrs. encouraged 10y OIL
sens example, invaded the richest
trapping grounds. and on two urru-
SionS ripped out the traps Of In
dIans already there. smashing them
or throwing them into air holes in
the lake.
At first the Crccs protested: then
some said on Doves advicc-tury
turned TO swift retaliation. dcmul-
iShing miles of lines set ont hy Ten
nant'S gang.
The elimination came when "a
score Of younger CrccS and breeds
burned Olscn's cabin. destroying Il
store of food and Il number of green
pcltS already caught. Nuwiug ven
gcancc. Olsen began rebuilding. and
the next morning another Cree duw
team had made their last meal on
whtcfsh srrinklci with strychmirc.
Like wildhrc the unrest spread 70
remote sections. Ciashc on the
trail brought three Indians to Bruc-
diets hospital, and the country was
rapidly dividing up into warning
camps. Among the CrcCs there were
threats againSt Tenants life: and,
when the white trappcrs openly
talked Of burning down the school.
Dove sent an appeal for protection
to Winnipeg. By late December. six
mounticS had come by plane 10
Lcarmonth-thc last patrols frCn'
the south shore of the bay.
None knew where or when the
next narc.up might cone. or how
far it might spread - whites and
breeds alike were living war Of
| nerves.
Newspapers Of The larger Canadi-
an cities took up the ight, some
siding with the Indians: others.

raut's trappcrs and demanded

the first great winter blizzard
whipped across the land, driving
men and animals To shelter. Stcaii-
~, through the night, the tcmpcra-
turc fell, and all next day no living
thing went forth, while snow sftcd

ice crcpt out from the shallow
waters Of the Shorclinc to meet
across the channels, covering rivers
and lakes with an cvcr-thickcning
cap that would soon become high

BY early morning of the second

clouds revealed the cold, sparkling
stars, but hour By hour the grip OF

And the next day he ana Alec
began TO trap. Hanging his steel
traps in heavy balsam smoke unit,

back from his cabin, following 4

earlier days. The main trapping
was for cross and red fox on the

warned Alec to keep away. Alec

Colin chafcd because nothing was
happening: No word from Winnl-

showed no signs of rcsuming his
midnight trips up the lake. and two
weeks mad passed since ircczc-up.
Then, without warning, on De

shocked by the news flashed up
from Winnipcg-thc japanese had

Past Week Was One Of
Extreme Weather, Local
Weatherman R Reports

Paul Hess, Wilmington weather
man, stated Monday that last
week February 1919, had extreme
weather changes. Lowest tempera-
ture was % degrees on the 18th;
highest 80 degrees on the 18th;
mean temperature for the week
was 1913 degrees, or IA degrees
above normal.
Precipitation at Wilmington was
heavy, the total amount was 2.7O
inches, or 1.79 inches more than
normal.
A rather heavy freeze on the
18th caused only slight damage
to truck farming. Heavy rain on
Tuesday was somewhat damag-
ing to crops in some areas Of
southeastern North Carolina
Growth of vegetation was retarded
by deficient sunshine, but mild
temperatures toward the close Of
the week was favorable. On the
whole, truck and winter small
grains are in fair condition, but
in some fields excessive rainfall
has been harmful. Lettuce and
other varieties of truck are some
what behind the normal season.
The week was unfavorable for
field work because of wet SOIL
