Webmaster's Note: In the 1980's, the Buffalo Narrows Celebrate Saskatchewan Committee published a local history of the Buffalo Narrows area. With the permission of the Local Buffalo Narrows council, the material from that book has been reproduced on this web site. I would like to thank them for that permission and I hope I can do justice to their fine work. Unfortunately, reproduction of the photographs contained in the book leaves something to be desired. Perhaps in the future, I may be able to obtain some copies of those original photographs, so they may enhance this web site history. Minor changes may have been made to accommodate use of this material on the Internet, but the substance of the history remains the same as the original book.

It was in Western Canada that the need for a national police force first occurred. The Cypress Hills Massacre, in which a large number of innocent and defenseless Assiniboine died, sparked the federal government to action regarding policing of the West. March West Re-Enactment, 1999 On May 23, 1873 the Dominion Parliament passed an act to provide for the establishment of a "Mounted Police Force for the North-West Territories". A year later, the famous March West brought 300 original members of the NWMP to what is now Saskatchewan and Alberta. The Headquarters of the Force relocated several times from Fort Garry, Fort Dufferin, Swan River, Fort Macleod and Fort Walsh before finally settling on a more centralized location beside Wascana Creek, on the outskirts of Regina in 1882.

by Dave Yanko MOOSE JAW The tale is told of a popular River Street madam named Rosie Dale who ran afoul of Moose Jaw Police Chief Walter Johnson, a colorful cad who for more than 20 years ruled the streets of the city with a baton in one hand and ill-begotten money in the other. Rosie, who perhaps forgot to pay her "protection" fees, was banished from the city by Johnson. River Street was the scene of much of the action in Moose Jaw's early years. But the plucky procuress didn't give up. She set up shop several blocks southeast of town, just outside of Johnson's jurisdiction, and her business began to boom once again. However there was a problem. Rosie's clientelle now needed special transportation to reach her new location. And while the livery stable owner wanted the extra business, he was short on carriage drivers. Uncomfortable with the notion of losing new revenue, the enterprising livery man trained his horses to find their way to the brothel and back all by themselves. Rosie's customers just hopped aboard the buggy and grabbed the reins; the horses did the rest. And so was born, according to the tale, Moose Jaw's original u-drive service. Gangsters ruled.

History of All Saints Anglican Church, Weyburn. There is an indication that very occasional services were held in the 1890’s in Weyburn, which were provided by St. John the Baptist Church, Moose Jaw, although the organized worship started in 1903 with visits by the Rev. G.P. Terry of St Giles’, Estevan. Since 1953 the Parish of All Saints has experienced many joys and sorrows, the appointment of many more clergy, and the coming and going of many families. From that ‘faithful few’ in 1911 All Saints has grown into a vibrant church deeply committed to spreading the ‘Good News’ to any who choose to hear. http://www.angelfire.com/sk2/allsaintsanglican/history.htm Original source and author unknown.
