The camp-manager was Mr.Henry McKay, of an old and highly esteemed North-West family.

Such was the personnel, official and informal, of the Treaty Commission, to which was also attached Mr.H.A.Conroy, as accountant, robust and genial, and well fitted for the work.
The Half-breed Scrip Commission, whose duties began where the treaty work ended, was composed of Major Walker, a retired officer of the Royal North-West Mounted Police, who had seen much service in the Territories and was in command of the force present at the making of the Fort Carlton Treaty in 1876; and Mr.J.A.Cote, an experienced officer of the Land Department at Ottawa.

The secretaries were Mr.J.F.Prudhomme, of St.Boniface, Man., and the writer.
Our transport arrangements, from start to finish, had been placed entirely in the hands of a competent officer of the Hudson's Bay Company, Mr.H.B.Round, an old resident of Athabasca; and to the Commission was also annexed a young medical man, Dr.West, a native of Devonshire, England, whose services were appreciated in a region where doctors were almost unknown.

But not the least important and effective constituent of the party was the detachment of the Royal North-West Mounted Police, which joined us at Edmonton, minus their horses, of course; picked men from a picked force; sterling fellows, whose tenacity and hard work in the tracking-harness did yeoman service in many a serious emergency.

This detachment consisted of Inspector Snyder, Sergeant Anderson, Corporals Fitzgerald and McClelland, and Constables McLaren, Lett, Burman, Lelonde, Burke, Vernon and Kerr.
