Twenty Four Years Ago

Donald Ross got his threshing done yesterday.

Rev. Father Lacombe left for Red Deer city on 
Monday.

Threshing was commenced last week by T. Smith in 
the lower setlement.

Dan Noyes delivered a raft of saw logs to Hardisty 
& Fraser's mill on Thursday

D.R. Fraser has bought Jo. Kernahan's house on the 
Jas. Rowland estate, and is having it refitted.

Capt. Griesbach and ten men of the Mounted Police, 
arrived from Calgary on Monday last. Capt. 
Griesbach has assumed command at Fort Saskatchewan, 
and Capt. Gagnon, who has been promoted will be 
stationed at some southern point. 

On Monday a man named Jas. Kelly who lives on the 
north side of the Sturgeon river, wished to prepare 
some land for ploughing ans started a fire. He will 
have to make more hay as the fire got beyond his 
control and burned up what he had.

Some person supposed to be an Indian stole a set of 
jewelry from the residence of W.L. Wood in the 
fort. It was lying near an open window just before 
being missed. The whole set is made of Saskatchewan 
gold and both ear rings and broach have pearls set 
in the centre.

Post office Inspector McLeod in an letter dated the 
1st of August, replies to some strictures passed 
about his department by the Saskatchewan Herald. He 
says mail arrives at Edmonton every third Wednesday 
and leaves every third Saturday. And again he says, 
"Three days are allowed the public of Edmonton to 
answer their correspondence. The hours that the 
average business man can spare from his other 
duties in three days are few enough, for gathering 
the information, transacting the business and 
writing the letters that make up three weeks 
correspondence, and the fact that the people of 
Edmonton have been deprived of one third of the 
time to which they are entitled.
