but they; made no attempt to give the
name of the man who had borne this
title before Frank North received it.
They said he was chief who led sold
iers through the country
"-If you have convincsde yourself
that Fremont is not-the NAM who bore
this name, it is probableS Il suppose, that
it may have been Pike. It'seems to me
the strongest argument against the FIRE.
mont view is that Fremont passed
through the country of the Pawnees
only dozen or more years before Frank
North became known to those Indians.
If the name given to him in 1865 had
been borne 81 or % years before by FIRE.
mont, there would have been plenty of
men still alive in the Pawnee tribe who
would have known of the fact, and
there would have been no doubt in any
ones mind as to who Frank North's
predecessor was. On the other hand,
if it were Pike who bore the name, his
passage through the country, in 80
years, would have been more or less ira
ditional and forgotten by a great many
Of the people,"
Mrs. Fremont was also addressed in
regard to the matter, in the belief that
if the story was rightfully attached to
her honored husbands name, she would
be able to give both the time and the
place of it's occurrence; but no reply
was received.
The CONSERVATIVE is privileged to
number among it's readers an unusually
long list of men who are able to speak
with authority on such matters as this,
some as students and others from per-
sonal knowledge of the events of early
western history. We believe that few
other publications have so many, or at
least so large proportion, of the army
officers. freighters, traders and settlers
of the pioneer period of the plains among
their subscribers. Now cannot some of
these friends Of ours name some United
States officer who led force across the
plains in the 3O's, and who made friends
with the Pawnees and took some of
them across the mountains with him?
This seems to be the main difficulty in
the way of accepting DR.. Grinnells sug-
gestion that it may have been Pike. He
took no Pawnees with him, though he
did meet returning war party of them,
after he came in sight Of the mountains.
Or, which would be equally to the pur-
pose, can some closer student of General
Fremont's career point out when and
where he was, or may have been, thrown
into such friendly relations with the
Pawnees as to have won their esteem
and admiration?

MR.. CLEVELAND ON FISHING.

Major Frank North. This statement
we questioned, for the reason that, after
careful review Of Fremont's career in
the west, we were unable to find any
time when he came in sufficiently close
relations with the Pawnees for it to have
happened.
Since then, we have received some
light on the question, which is really a
very interesting one, from two first
rate sources; DR.. Grinnell himself, and
Hon. James E. North, of Columbus,
Neb., one of the surviving brothers Of
Major North. From the letters of these
gentlemen, extracts from both Of which
we give below, it appears that the infor-
nation of both was derived from the
Indians. We are unable to think 9TH
erwise than that a. a-confusion of identity
has arisen somewhere; but it seems to
be beyond doubt that some white man
besides Major North was honored by
the Pawnees to this unusual degree,
and it may not be impossible yet to de-
termine who this was.
Mr.. North wrote us as follows:-
"When I received your letter, was in
clined to think that that there was
some mistake about the honor bestowed
upon General Fremont by the Pawnees,
as from my recollection I had never
heard my brother say anything about
it. have, however, today seen my
younger brother, L. H., who was out
with the major a great deal of the time
he was in the government service, and
he tells me that the Pawnees said that
the title conferred on the major had
been given to one white man before,
who had been through the country with
a command, engaged in building road,
and that some of the Pawnees went
with him over the mountains. From
their description my brothers were Of
| the opinion that the Indians referred to
General Fremont. From this informa-
tion I am led to believe that Fremont
must have passed through one of the
Pawnee villages on his way west, and
had some Of that tribe in his employ"
| DR.. Grinnell. writes: :-"Yours with
enclosure from The CONSERVATIVE, re-
ferring to John @. Fremont and the
Pawnees, is duly received and greatly
interests me. 1t is nearly fifteen years
since this question came up at all, and I
doubt my ability to give you anything
very definite. can say, however, with
great positiveness, that Pawnee Indian
told me definitely that John @. Fremont
was the only other white man that had
ever borne the name of Pani Leshar.
This means the Pawnee Chief, or the
Chief Pawnee, an honorable name
which, however, like any other name,
was given for purposes of Identification

MORGAN'S NEW DEAL IN RAIL
WAY STOCK.
The Most Stupendous Operation Ever
Attempted in the Railway World
Eighteen Thousand Miles of Rails.

CHICAGO, October H.-An Iowa cor
poration, capitalized at $100,000,000 and
organized for the purpose Of controlling
tween $500 900, 900 and $3.50, 900, ,000-such
is the plan in brief Of the Morgan Hill
syndicate as disclosed by the incOrpor-
alton at Burlington, Ia, on Wednesday
of the Chicago, Burlington and quincy
Railway Company
The details of the plan which is by
far the most stupendous ever conceived
in the railway world, were learned here
today, and have set the financial and
railway worlds talking. The Iowa cor
poration is a proprietary company,
which is to take over all the securities
of the Burlington, Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railroads. This being
the case, the Morgan coterie, when the
plan Is perfected, will be able, by the
ownership of bare majority of 500,
100000 capital stock Of the new COM
pany, to control absolutely three big
railway systems, aggregating over
| $4,000 miles, having a gross earning
capacity Of over $l0O,OOO,OOO yearly and
present capitalization Of $465, 100000
Furthermore, If 1T be seen fit to do 80
control of these properties can be obs
tained without the payment OF a single
dollar of the capital stock represented
by the new company. In the opinion OF
hnanciers the scheme is sufficiently
bold to cause the Napoleon OF the game
to pause before taking the plunge, and
the result will be watched with the
most intense interest

How Captain Hunnewell Brought the

Schooner Missionary Packet.

The seventy-flfth anniversary of the
house of G. Brewer and Company,
sugar factors and commission mer-
chants is being celebrated this after
noon in the private offices of the firm s
building on Queen street.
In 1926, Captain Hunnewell, comman-
der Of the schooner Missionary Pack

number Of missionaries to these shores,
carried with him as cargo the goods
that when landed We're the basis of the
present firm. The old schooner with her
unwieldly beam and clumsy rigging
has long ago given away to the trim
set modern bark, the old building, des-
troyed by fire, has been supplanted by
the present handsome structure and
Captain Hunnewell himself, with his
passengers, have long been gathered to
their fathers.
All these memories are brought to
mind today and embodied on the low
ing cup that will be presented by the
officers of the company to +. G. Jones,
a former president and director Of the
company.
The loving cup will come as a sur
prise to Mr. Jones after he has read
an historical paper telling the history
of the firm from its incipiency. This
paper will constitute the regular pro-
gram of the day.
The cup, declared by Wichman to be
the finest Of his stock, is of silver
of beautiful design and workmanship,
standing about ten inches high on an
ebony base which gives it an addition
al five inches in height. There are
three handles on the panels, between
which are engraved respectively the
old schooner Missionary Packet with,
below a picture Of the modern type Of
bark The old Brewer building of fifty
years ago and below the present edihce,

ton of gift from the officers Of c..
