goods, packed a huge quantity of food and some of the most needed clothing the rest of the way but was compelled to leave the stove and several other items for another day. Through the Railroad men, Mr. Peer learned of the difficulty and immediately set out to assist his friend to finish the job. They put the stove on a homeâ€"made sleigh and started for the location, finally reaching it after hours and hours of "slogging" through deep snow in a 1+0 below temperature, CARRYING THE STOVE, because the hastily constructed sleigh had literally "fallen apart" because of the heavy load. In Mr. Peer‘s own words, "never again would I willingly undertake such a trip". The second story came to me as "heresay" and, though quite true, did not include much detail. But anyone knowing that country in those early days, could easily fill in the trying ordeal encountered on that Twelve mile trip. Mr. Peer had been visiting some of the settlers scattered along the "right-ofâ€"way" and had learned of a Woman who was desperately ill and out of reach of Medical assistance. Next morning he went to see if he could help and fpund that only immediate Hospitalization could avail. He was able to secure a Toboggan upon which the warmly wrapped woman was placed and he headed for the nearest point on the Railway - which was then in its infancy and would stop for passengers wherever encountered â€" he missed the Southâ€" bound train, but nothing daunted, continued a couple of miles to the crossing of the Wabi River where he took to the Ice and Good travelling for the rest of the journey. He arrived. at the Hospital in Town after seven or eight hours hard travelling where the woman received immediate and beneficial treatment for an illness from which she fully recovered but from which she surely would have made "her crossing" had it not been for the timely aid of this heroic gentleman. Thus we can see that by "sacrifice" and "Service" a foundation is laid for advancement of a permanent nature, whatever be our race, creed or color.
