The Canadian minister of the interior was Mr. Somebody White: they created a route to the Yukon gold fields, and named the White Pass part after him.

The Canadian Minister in 1898 was Clifford Sifton (link), but Thomas White was Minister of the Interior from 1887 to 1888 (link). I take it you were up in Nunavut (or environs) for your vacance, n'est-ce pas?


Ceci n'est pas un seing.
