‘HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY TOLD i Iniversity Professor Relates| Early History of Cana- | dian Concern (By Dr. 0. G. Libby, Professor wf History, University of North Dakota.) Grand Forks, N, June 10.) -In the winter of 9-60, a French ader named Radisson, with his part- , wintered among the Dakota ndians at the western end of Lake uperior. From the accounts given hem by the Indians there they were ed to explore northeastward, and ound themselves the next spring on he shores of James Bay, a branch | f Hudson's Ba | Here they spent the summer, ex- loring the shores of the bay and inding out the fur resources of this sretic region. They were impressed the value and number of the furs fat ‘could be purchased from th ndians there, und they spent the! ext ten years in trying to organize trading company to exploit this) ew region. Their first attempt at} - Quebec failed and they tried next} © Boston. Saw Louis XIV Then we hear of them at the court | f Louis XIV in Paris, where they vere well received and advised t ‘@ to England. At the court of Sharles I] they were able to interest group of merchants sufficiently to save a ship sent out to Hudson's Say ona trial trip. The value of the argo brought back convinced the Inglish merchants that they might afely invest in the fur trade of this étritory. In 1670 they orginized the fudson’s Bay company, which still xists, and is the oldest corporation nm America today. The first post was built at the fouth of the Nelson river and was hereafter known as York factory. ‘he charter of the company gave hem control of all lund drained by he waters flowing into Hudson's 4ay. This included the extensive srairie ‘country now cgmprising the Janadian provinces of Alberta, Sask- wtchewan and Manitoba as well as he Red River Valley of North Da- tota und Minnesota. ( This part of the continent was at ~- | | D, time the grazing ground of a|:go when they were sick with ty- st herd of buffalo, from which all the tribes of the region obtained heir principal food supply, as well ws robes and hides for clothing and ant. The Hudson’s Bay company - wadefs were the ‘only white men rorth of Sante Fe from which these ndiuns could obtain guns, steel tools _ and weapons and trade beads. The snly. serious competition which the lish traders met came from the mch at Montreal and Quebec. Verendrye Came Early By the treaty of Utrecht in 1713 the English monopoly of the fur trade m the west was recognized by the French government. This did not gtevent Verendrye and his enter- arising sons, 1726-49, from cutting westward directly through the rich- wt part of this fur trade area to , the Rocky Mountains and diverting the Indian trade away from the Eng- fish, So serious were the losses which the Hudson's Bay company duffered from this raid an their preserves, that they were compelled to build new trading posts farther south and west so as to keep the French from driving them entirely out of their own territories, The story of the successful fur trade ventures of the Verendryes in the west will be told later.

Third-—and most important — by writing an open letter to the gover- some more jo these facts and demanding that Accuse Him of Wetness As a result, the prohibitionists of Indiana are calling him “Friend of Demon Rum,” “John Barleycorn’s Henchman” and various other things. He is accused of working for s com- plete overthrow of the prohibition All of this exasperates him deeply. ry am dry he said em- phatically in his office here today. “And it is because I am a dry, have never spent one penny for a drink in my life and don’t know the differ- ence between a cocktail and a high- ball, that I want to see the dry cause freed from the silly twaddl the fanaticism and even the cruelty that pervades a bone dry state which would let a man see his children or his wife die for lack of liquor,” Governor Jackson, recipient of Gilliom’s whisky and Gilliom’s open letter, is preserving a deep silence. He is not, however, being subjected to quite the same bombardment that is centering about Gilliom. “Would you break a law to save a life?” is the question that is be- ing discussed everywhere in Indiana today.. Opinions are widely divided; and scores of people are writing to Gilliom, voicing praise or blame ac- cording to their, lights. Want Him Prosecuted There are those who declare that Gilliom shuld be prosecuted for ad- mitting that he illegally procured liquor. They add, in many case: that if it can be proven that Gov. sachsen got liquor he should be im- ed. et forces are jubilant, and are ng so loudly. Gilliom, however, resents their plaudits even more than he resents the sniping of the drys. Gilliom, recognized throughout the state as a fighter, has never exactly been one of the Anti-Saloon League’s bosom friends. He declares that the league “insists that a man be fanat- ically and asininely dry if they count him as a dry at all.” About a year ago Gilliom broke a lance with the league. The league criticized two liquor ease decisions of the state supreme court and G liom promptly had E. S. Shumaker, president of the league, cited for contempt of court on the. grounds ‘that was improper to criticize de- s in cases that were still pen A committee of prominent In- diana attorneys acted as a jury for the supreme court and recommended that Shumaker be found guilty of contempt; but the c: is still hang- has asked the supfeme court, to have disposal. , All of this put Gilliom definitely in the lengue’s ill favor. But it was nothing compared to the effect of his latest action. HECANT TELL A HIGHBALL FROM A COCKTAIL-BUT DRYS CALL HIM WET HIS OWN STATEMENT .

Last January he held that the legis- lature had acted illegally in voting to increase its own pay and upheld the state auditor in refusing to grant the increase.
