The Ottawa test| the varicus Indian reserves, or such thing, and, after nearly three years of untold hardship on sea and land these valiant gentlemen are staying right with the job. Their ten- acity is wonderful in face of the dangers to be faced in the on the rivers and some mountains, on the sea. In order to make certain that there can be no possible error in their fiindings, they make return visits periodically, with commendable zeal. Dur- ing the last few months they have visited this far northern land times, and are here again. On this occasion, they have chartered the Chel- ohsin for the trip, in order that the trials of the journey might be brought down to a mini- mum. Incidentally the cost of the Chelohsin must run _ to about $300 or $350 per day, but what care they, the good work must be carried on re- years several gardless of cost. Two ago they ehartered the Queen at a total cost of something like $13,000, just to show what they really could do when they felt like it. After making a trying trip to Port Essington, they proceeded to the wilds of Port Simpson. Logically their next stop should have been somewhere up the Naas, but someone of the party must have wanted to see what a train looked like, so they put back to Prince Rupert, just to get another glance at civilization the size of the expense account turned in, and in this connec- tion, the commissioners have ~ had an extremely trying time. That is why they have been obliged to pay a short visit to the interior, return south, and then come back again to do a little more investigating. If the expense bills do not come along with sufficient force and regularity, Ottawa might de- cide that the work was not be- ing done properly, and another commission might have to be appointed to enquire into the lack of bills. In order to avoid such a calamity, the chartering a steamer occasion- ally was hit upon, as one way out of the difficulty. However, judging by the leisurely way in which the gentlemen are they idea of meandering at present, must have still a considerable leeway to make up. If they stay right with it, they will soon have the satisfaction of reaching the $200,000 mark, which is the highwater mark of com- mission efficiency. There is an idea abroad that this particu- lar outfit is out to break all usually considered records, and their efforts are being watched with growing interest. The Borden government has made wonderful advances in the way of appointing commis- sions, showing remarkable in- genuity. Still there are many fields which might be entered upon, with great advantage to before continuing their haz- the friends of the party.
