WHEN THE ICE MHEAICS. EDMONTON, (Alberta), June >). "She’s movin’ ' ” There is always a cry of joy when the rivers of the Canadian NorthWest ‘‘got out” in tile spring, that is when the ieo of the long winter commences to move down stream, and the river is once more open to boat and canoe. But the movement is fraught with danger to those men of the north who are always on the move—to the trapper. the trader, the mail-man, the “Mountie.” One mail-nuin of the north, for instance, had a narrow escape. lie was out in tho middle of the frozen river when the crackig 'report ut breaking ice behind him caused him to stop. All about him the liver was ehurued into n mass of living spray and upended ice-floes, the entire Face of tilie frozen river changing almost in a moment. Urging on bis dog team the mailman made a ([nick dash lor the shore. Ho had to leap from line to Hoc. his dogs and the mail-sled following as best they might. One Ireachcroi:- Hoc toppled, throwing man and dogs into the icy Hood. They scrambled to the next Hue, jumped the lanes nl open water, and nl least reached shore, wot through and exhausted. A trapper lost his entire load o! furs, gathered with infinite labour till winter long, and was fortunate t" escape with bis life. A trailer hauling a sled-load of goods along the b e with a leant of horses, lost, the team when they went through thin ice. but the sled of goods was saved.
