Only 840.00 WHOO LL BE FIRST BEER is now a little more than two and a half centuries since white men first set foot in the region known to- day as the Canadian West a distant date measured by the history of this continent, for notwithstanding the great development that has already taken place in North America, this is still a mew world in comparison with Europe, and newer still in comparison with the Orient, where for centuries civitization has been stagnant. The first white men to gain a glimpee of our Great West were Pierre Radisom, a French-Canadian and his brother-in-law, Medard Chouart, bet- ter known as Grosseilliers, who was orm near Meaux, France, emigrated to Quebee, and there married the daugh- ter of Abraham Martin, King s pilot, who ewned the plateau to the west of the elty, and which 1s still known as the Platas of Abraham, the famous Early History of wt Western Canada 1800 Terms, 50 ft, Esplanade, 800 Terms 50 ft. one block from High School.

As early as 1659, these adventurous young: men reached the region beyond the head of Lake Superior and came in contact with the Assiniboine Indians. Three years later they were again in the West, and by some it is claimed they went as far north as the shores of Hudson Bay, discovered about fitty Fears before by Henry. Hudson. 1 this claim is, well-founded Radisson and tris compazion were the first to reach the shores of the great inland sea by the overland route. Founding H. B. Company A little later Radisson and Groseil- liers went to England, were received by King Charles IL, and co-operated with Prince Rupert in founding the Hudson s Bay Company. Both men en- tered the service of the Company and salled a number of times to the Bay, where they assisted in laying the 550. Terms, 50 ft. corner, Ceneral Park 425 erms, 50 ft.

In September, 1731, he-arrived at Rainy Lake, and erected a fur trade of the Woods, paddled down the Winnipeg River to-the lake of the same name. Crossing the lake he ascended the As- siniboine River, and so passed through the heart of the district in which now stands the city of Winnipeg. His sons pushed on across the prairies, and on New Year's Day, 1743, they. came with- in-sight of-the eastern spurs of the Northern Rocky Mountains. Veran- rye established a number of forts, or trading: posts, th-our West, and: he obtained considerable information re- specting the geography of the coun- try. He was preparing to cross the Rockies when death overtook him on December 6th, 1749-eleven years be- fore Canada was ceded to Great Bri- tain. A Synonymous History From that time practically down to. 1870 the history of the Canadian West forms part of the history of the Hud- fort near the site of Fort Francis of a Inter: day. He built -another-fort-on - the western shore of the Lake of the Joyed for many years monopoly of trade, but that also exertived over the vast region a sway almost sovereign dn its character. From the shores of the Bay the Company-gradually pushed out Tn-all directions, building.forts on the prin- clpal waterways, and to these forts the Indians brought their furs to ex- change them for goads brought out from England, The West was a land of Indians and buffalogs, trappers and traders, and the first attempt to make it otherwise was due to the efforts of Lord Selkirk, who Im 1811, sent out his first band of emigrants, They came out to York factory, wintered there, then made their way up the Nelson River to Lake Winnipeg, and Ltihence to the junction of the Red and the Assiniboine Hivers; where they set up what became known as the Sel- Kirk, or Red River Settlement. There were other migrations that swelled the settlers ranks, These were the pioneer farmers of Manitoba. Jealousy Aries At this time the North-West Com- pany, the aggressive riyal of the Hud- son's Bay Company, had posts through Out this country, and they were very Jealous of the settlers, It was hunt- ers and not farmers they wished to ee In the country, Im miany ways the settlers were persecuted and driven from their homes, whieh In many cas- s Were destroyed.

In spite of all these misfortunes and injustices the settlers and thelr descendants held on, and in time Iaid the foun: tion of the Clty-of Winmlpe and the Province-pt Manitoba, just-as- they Jaid the foundation of farming in the Canadian West. the Assiniboine Rivers stood the tam- ous post of the Hudson s Bay Com- pany known as Fort Garry. The main gate of the Fort still stands one of the historical monuments of Winni- peg. In 1862 1t wag visited by two celebrated English travellers, Vis- count Milton and Dr. Cheadle, who were th n on thelr way to the Pa- cific Coast. In the sccount of their journey they have givens description of Fort Garry and the Red River set- tlement, where today stands the city of Winnipeg, the commercial metro- polis of the West, and, thought by some, destined to become the com- mercial metropolis of all Canada, The Old Winntpes Fort Garry, write our travellers, by which we mean the building it- self for the name of the Fort is fre- quently used for the settlement gen- erally is situated-on the north bank of the Assiniboing River, a few hun- dred yards above fts jonction with the Red River. It consists of a square en- closure of high stone Walls, flanked at each angle by round towers. With- in this ate several substantial wood- en buildings the Governor's . resi- dence, the jail, and the ptorehouses for the Company's furs and goods. The shop, where articles of every descrip- tion are sold, is thronged from morn- ing till night by a crowd-of settlers and half-breeds who meet there to gossip and treat each other to rum and brandy, ag well as to make theif purchases, The Red River Settlement extends beyond Fort Garry for about twenty miles to the northward along the son s Bay Company, that not only en- banks of the Red River, and about Beveridge s FEBRUARY FURNITURE SALE af tern Catalogue.

The wealth- fer inhabitants live in large, well-bullt wooden houses, and the poorer half- breeds in rough log huts or even In- dan Todges. Such was Fort Garry Hargrave s Deseription Another description of the Red Riv- er Settlement now changing into Win- nipes, is to be found in the work of J. J. Hargrave, an Old Country trav- eller, who for a number of years was resident of our West, and knew Win- afpeg in ita days of small things, Writing of conditions prevailing in 1867, Hargrave says that the village of Winnipeg had then increased trom the single building erected by Me- Kenney Co, in 1862, to a cluster of houses, the principle of which were irregularly scattered along the public highway so as to form something re- sembling street, became in th au- tumn of 1867, the scene of a number of attempts to introduce the institu- tions of a higher civilization into that oasis In the wilderness of Rupert's Land, Emmerling established a bil- Uard table, imported from the United States, im. his hotel. The table was in constant use, and the profits were so considerable as to induce the znter- prising proprietor to. add s second ta- dle the following spring. A theatre was also opened over a store, On the opening night the whole population of the town may be sam Y have been on the alert. The George: Hotel was illuminated with a candle at every pane of glass ir the windows of the billiard saloon. The Tesnlt of this demonstration was very uearly-calamitous, as; when-every per- son Was engaged with other matters, Tt not been for th good: offices of an -accl- dental passenger, the result might, in consequence of the central position of the inn, have been most disastrous among the village houses, all of which are built of wood. The dramatic entertainment, which Was really Winnipeg's first night, passed off very well, marred only by peculiar accident which befell the leading actor after the performance. Returning to the stage, after the light had been put out, for the purpose of getting some of his belongings that had been forgotten, he fell in the dark, cutting his leg so severely with the tim reflector of one of the foot lights, that surgical assistance had to be called in. A Dinner Party Another qudtation from this: inter- esting chapter on young Winnipeg is entertaining. It gives an account of a dinner party held early on the af- ternoon of St. Andrew s-Day, All went well until Just about twilight, ed, respecting the relative superiority between the Highland and the Low- land counties of Scotland. The sub- Sect was one in which everyone pres ent felt lively personal interest, and the debate regarding It quickly swell- ed into a tumult. The whole party rushed With ringing shouts from the meeting. place to the street, which forthwith became the theatre of one of the most formidable scenes of dis- order ever witnessed within his beat by Constable Milligan, whose single arm was powerless in the presence of the multitude of rloters, who shifted their scene from one corner of the village to another. as victory declared itself alternately on either side of the struggling crowd. But there-was another side to the Social life of the little village on the edge of the lone western prairies, and our traveller does not forget to point ft-out, The ladies of the settlement held a bazaar from which a revenue of 70 was recelyed, and a concert and bazaar brought in 100, all of which was devoted to charitable pur- Doses: 3 The next two years were years of. trouble for Winnipeg and the Red River Settlement, for it was in 1869 that the first Riel uprising took place and for year the country was prac- tically in the hands of a band of reck- Tess men, who claimed to exercise the tanctions of Government. sat Like a house of cards, this govern- ment coll psed upon the approach of the expedition led by Sir Garnet, lat- er Viscount Wolseley, and, erected in- into the Canadian Confederacy the entire West, known as Prince Rupert's Land, having in the meantime been acquired: by the Dom nion Govern- ment.
