LAKE BENNETT, YUKON TERRITORY, 1898 -- The Klondike Gold Rush is on. Every day, hundreds of prospectors ago- nizîngly climb over the Chilkoot pass filled witb the hope of find- ing a fortune in nuggets on the other side. The situation is ripe for trouble. In Skagway, Alaska, on the American side of the border, Gangster Soapy Smith and bis crew of thugs control the town. Skagway-was "the most outra- geously lawless quarter 1 ever struck", remembered one gold rush veteran. "It seemed as if the scum of the earth had bastened bere to fleece and rob, or...to murder.' To preserve peace and order on the Canadian side of the border, Prime Minister Wilfrid Lauriers government dispatcbhed Canadas finest policeman, Superintendent Sam Steele of the North-West Mounted Police. Du ring the winter of 1898 Steele and hîs Mounties built posts on the top the.mountain passes leading into the Yukon. Sam Steele Lion of the-Yukon Here thse Mounties collected cus- tom duties, confiscated handguns and even disciplined miners wbo mistreated their pack animais. In the spring, Steele moved bis headquarters down to Lake ýBen- nett, a tent city of 10,000 gold- seekers. The prospectors bad gatbered bere to wait for the spring break-up that would open the river route to the -gold ,fields. Ail types of sea- k- faring craft were being bu ilt in preparation for the final leg of the joumey. Steele quickly realized that some of the boats woulId neyer survive the rougb waters. lie set Up a Mountie checkpoint to pre- vent unseaworthy boats from departing._ This dec isive action saved many lives. Steele dealt firmly witb unruly intruders into Canadian territory., One evening be heard two shots ring out near bis cabin. The gun- man was brougbt before Steele, wbo found marked cards and loaded dice in bis saddlebags. The culprit was indignant: 'Tl have you know that you cant Iock up a United States citizen and get away with it." "WelI" said SSteele, "seeing v you're an Amer- ican citizen, l'Il be very lenient. l'Il confiscate everytbing you h ave and give you hall an bour to leave town".

Dufferin Aggies edge trophy The parents and famuiies of the Dufferin Aggregate Major Tykes were treated to a spirited game this. past Sunday afternoon at the Orono arena. Their adversaries, in this their fourth round robin playoff game was the respected Rotary Club. The coaching staff of the Aggies kept the high scoring Rotary' line off the score sheet by shifting their line up. The speedy Matt Mitchell was moved froni bis defensive post to play centre opposite Rotary's top gunner. His dut>' was not to allow Barchard to get on track. Mitchell excelled at his task in true Carbonneau like fashion. Ever>' advance b>' the Rotary' centre was thwarted b>' the ever present Mitchell. The Aggies opened the scoring midway through the fast paced first'on a Chris Moffat goal. Paul Richter, who ably filled Mitchell's defensive position, lugged the puck unchallenged from centre across the blueline before placing a pass to Moffat, who was posted in the slot. Andy Banga>' picked up the second assist on the opener. Their lead was squashed ýminutes later b>' a Rotar>' long shot that eluded the Aggies netminder, Kevin Martin. The middle framne proceeded much as did the fist with the Aggies having the territorial advantage but unable to produce man>' quality shots. At the same time they kept the play in the oppositions' end. When the puck did stra>' into the Aggie end it was quickly whisked away. Four minutes into the final period the Aggies's Kyle Cox wit h bis back to the top of the Rotary crease wrapped a back hander along the ice that just caught the inside of the far post. Chris Moffat garnered the only assist on this game winner. Thirty-six seconds later, Andy Bangay scored a most important goal. He slid the insurance Marker along the ice through a maze of sticks and skates past the motionless goalie. The Aggies then closed down any Rotar>' attack as they duniped the puck to the neutral zone and forechecked them to a stand still. The Aggies spent the final two minutes shorthanded with Richter serving a minor for tripping. The team coped well being a man short as they iced the puck and actuali>' took the play' to Rotary'. .This was trul>' a great effort by all. 'Skagway, Dawson bad ils share of rougb characters. Steele allowed the mîners to drink and gainble in Dawson, but be made sure that the whisky wasnt drugged, that the games were bonest, and that Sunday was respected. Violence had no place on Sam Steeles Canadian frontier. H1e also tried to end the cormupt practices of the Canadian bureau- crats. This brougbt bim face to face witb Sir Clifford Sifton, one of the most powerful politicians of bis day. Honesty and rigbteousness lost out and Steele was relieved of bis command. The citizens of Daw- son sent petitions and telegrams 10 Ottawa to protest tbe removal of 'our most popular and trusted official" but 10 no avail. Wben, Steele left the Yukon in September 1 899, the prospectors, gamblers, ragtimne piano-players and dance bail girls gatbered on tbe wharf to give him "sucb an ovation and send-off as no man bas ever received from the Klondike gold-seekers".
