occurred between individual traders of
the lakes and those of the Hudson's Bay
Company, as well as to systemize the fur
trade, and to balance the power of the
last-namcd corporation. Its members
were comprised of the principal merchants
OF Montreal, who had before been engaged
IN the fur trade round the lakes. This
company did not secure u charter, but
constituted themselves into a commercial
partnership. 1t consisted of shares une-
quaIly divided among individual stock
holders, some of whom were engaged in
the importation of goods necessary to car
ry on the trade, in the supply of capital,
and in the expectation of the proceeds
and others who were employed in actual
trade at the interior posts and among the
Indians. The shares of this company
were gradually increased as new appli-
cants for the stock appeared. The agents
of the company went annually to Detroit,
Mackinaw, st Mary, and the grand por-
tage, where they received their furs, and
forwarded them to Montreal. The arti-
cles for the trade consisted of woollen and
cotton goods, hardware, cutlery, and all
those ornaments which were required by
the Indians, as well as in the market of
Montreal. These goods were annually
shipped from London about the first of
May, made up into the proper kinds OF
clothing, and in the winter they were
bartered for furs and peltry, which during
the next fall were shipped to London.
The food which they used was of coarse
kind. The partners Of the company, the
Interpreters, clerks, guides, and all in Of
flee, were allowed more palatable pro-
vision but the canoe-men, or voyagers,
had nothing better than fat, and ground
Indian corn boiled, which they called
Nominee"
The two companies thus embarked as
rivals in the fur trade, were actuated by
the motives of rivals. The Hudson's Bay
Company, which had exercised SUI
preme dominion over the frozen wilder
ness Of the north, and had enthroncd it.
self in solitary despotism at Rockfort, soon
found a new company advancing upon
their domain, and the rivalry of the two
companies soon gave rise to violent out
breaks, though they confined themselves
within different chartered limits. The
Northwest Company stretched its arms
over the northwestern lakes, aided by
Canadians, hali-brcedS, voyaScrs, and In
dians, as well as by Scotch agents, occu-
pying the posts which had formerly be-
Ionged to the French along the line OF
the Great Lakes and the Mississippi; and
in two years after its first establishment,
it had advanced its posts as far as Atha-
basca Lake, eight hundred miles beyond
Lake Superior.
by the treaty of Ghent, made between
Great Britain and this country, it was
provided that all posts taken during the
war should be restored, and in accordance
with this clause, the Americans, in lSl4
demanded the restitution Of Astoria as one
of these posts, which was denied. On
the 4th October, 1917, the sloop of wal
| Ontario, under the command OF Captain
BiddIe, sailed from New York for the Pa
cifc, in order to take possession of the
post, which was finally yielded up with
out bloodshed to the commissioner, MI

ing an immense line of coast on the wcs
tern boundary of America by discovery
and possession, which claim, however, it
was found difficult to establish.
But the mercantile rivalry of the two
great British corporations, the Northwest
and the lludson's Bay Company. which
had been long strengthening, now began
to rage in the wilderness, and in 1914,
had broken out into actual war A col
ony of Scotch highlanders had been es-
tabIished upon the Red River by Lord
Selkirk, in virtue Of grant of the coun-
try from the Hudsons Bay Company.
On the other hand the Northwest Com
pany denied the validity of that grant,
and it was of great injury to the last
named body, as their posts had been al
most entirely supplied from the Red river
lands. In consequence, numerous acts of
violence ensued and in 1914. the Scotch
men were driven away, their houses de-
molshed, and the colony subveried. 1t
was re-es,abished, however, during the
following year, when the hostil.tes were
renewed, the posts rctaken and burned.
On the 18th of June, 1916, a more for
midable battle was fought between the
rival traders the Scotchmen were rout-
ed, and their governor, Mr. Temple, and
five others, were killed. These facts hav-
ing been brought before the British Par
lament, an act was passed on the end of
July, 1921, uniting the two companies
under the name of "The Hudson's Bay
Company" under charter granting to
them the privilege of trading in the In
dian territory claimed or belonging to
Great Britain for the period of twenty lone
years.
We do not design here to 60 into a
particular examination of the different ex-
| NoTE.-This charter as we are inform
ed, has been renewed, under the name of
Pugett's Sound Agricultural Company, or
some similar title, with a capital of f, ,,0OO,-
600. This company it is said, hold large
tracts of territory about Pugett's Sound, un-
der grants of letters patent from the English
government after the same manner by which,
previous to the American revolution, whole
territories were disposed of to companies or
titled individuals, for monies or services
Lands have in some instances been sold To
American citizens; thus presenting the an-
oInaly of foreign traders holding titles to
lands claimed by Americans, from the gov
crnment of another country, and selling those
lands to those who claim to be their lcgi,i-
mate owners. Such acts will sooner or later
awaken the jealousy otthe Republic, and lead
to an Investigation Of the much vexed ques-
ton Of boundary, and national rights Year
~ the Gordon knot becomes more intricate
and like that it is not at ali improbable that
the sword alone will be able to sever it.
The IIudson's Bay Company are fully
alive to the valuable resources of the coun-
try bordering on Pugett's Sound, and are
rapidly laying out experimental farms in tina,
region, and stocking them with cattle Of all
kinds. The mere increase Of this stock will
in few years afford them great revenue
The soil is exceedingly fertile, abouudng
with fine timber for naval or land purposes,
and also rich with minerals. Harbors are
abundant, anl in one place ships can lay
along side of the bank and receive carrncs
