Excerpt from Mounted Police Life in Canada: A Record of Thirty-One Years' Service
The Mounted Police had been ordered to make Regina their head-quarters, and the transfer from Port Walsh had not been quite completed at the time of which I write.
In order to facilitate the housing of the police in their new home, a number of so-called portable build ings had been shipped in from Eastern Canada. These had been made in sections, and were readily put together on the Spot. Needless to say, they were cold habitations, and every room on the ground floor required to have a stove to itself.
