editor Conse rvative: The State
Historical society has this winter
added to it's library the most valu
able collection of source material
upon the first white exploration of
the trans Missouri region and par
ticularly of Nebraska known to exist.
This is Pierre Margry's 'Decou-
vertes ct Establishments des Francois
dams l'Ouest ct dams le Sud de l.
Am6rique.' in six volumes, printed at
Paris. This is nothing less than
collection of letters and reports made
by the first French explorers in this
region to the French commanders at
New Orleans and by them transmit
ted to France. Margry was keeper of
archives at Paris. He explored the
early documents relating to America
and collected them from private
sources until he became chief author
ity on the subject. When Francis
Parkman was writing his books OH
the west he had access TO some Of
these documents, but his efforts to
secure all of them failed because
Margry desired to have the honor of
making them known to the world.
AS a result of Parkman's efforts,
aided by Senator George F. Hoar, of
Massachusetts, bill was passed in
congress in 1878 by which the United
States subscribed for 500 copies of
Margry's collection. With this en-
couragement Margry began their
publication and the last volume was
printed in 1886. 1t is this last volume
which is most interesting to the Ne
braskan. It contains the original re-
ports of LIE Sueur's expedition to the
Sioux in 1898; French Canadians on
the Missouri in 17O2-4 La Harpe and

A FRENCHMAN DWELLING AMONG THE
PANIMAHAS, GOES TO THE RICARAs. EX-
tract from letter from Bienville to
the ministry of the marine, 22nd of
April, 1884:
ga Frenchman who has been liv-
ing for some years with the Panima-
has dwelling on the Missouri, having
been with these Indians to the
Ricaras. who inhabit the upper re-
gions of the same river and who have
never seen any Frenchmen, has
found in those parts many silver
mines which seem to him very rich,
one among them which he thinks is
pure silve~. Two voyageurs coming
with him verify this report.
VOYAGE OF THE MALLET BROTHERS
WITH SIX OTHER FRENCHMEN FROM THE
RIVER OF THE PANMAHAs, IN THE Mis-
SOURI, COUNTRY, TO SANTA FE, 1739-4O.
Extract from the Journal of the jour
ney presented to the MN. de Bienville,
governor, and Salmon, intendant at
New Orleans.
For knowledge of the road
which these Canadians have travelled
to discover New Mexico, it is we'll
to know that it is $50 miles from the
Illinois to the villages of the Mis-
souri, Indians on the river Of that
name,-240 miles from there to the
Kanzes, 800 from the Kanzes to the
Otoctatas (Otoes) and 1S0 from there
to the mouth of the river of the Pan :
imahas in the Missouri. This nation
is settled upon the river of their
name, and from there the discoverers
took their departure May 30, 1889.
"All of those who have attempted
up to the present time to reach New
Mexico have thought they would find
it on the headwaters of the Mis-
souri,, and to that end they have gone
up stream as far as the Ricaras, who
dwell more than 375 miles from the
Panis. The discoverers took, upon
information from some Indians, an
altogether different route, and leav-
ing the Panis they crossed the coun-
try and returned upon a way almost
parallel to the Missouri.
June they reached river which
they named the River Plate and
seeing that it took direction not fal
from the route they had in mind,
they followed it, going up it's right
bank for distance of 70 miles, and
at that place they found that the
river made fork with the river OF
the Padocas which just there flows in.
, "Three days afterward, that is June
, 13, they crossed to the left bank OF
said river, and travelling over {

who started to explore the streets of

While basking in the hot sunlight a
great 6-foot West Indian negro came
up to him and inquired IL he was from
the United States ship, Dixie. The
correspondent replied in the affirma-

him that he represented the st. Vim

correspondent must have his hair cut

HEINzE CHANGES FRONT.
Montana Mining Masnate Announces
That He Is a Democrat.

Helena, Mont, July 5.-F. August
Heinze, the Butte mining magnate
who has taken a prominent part in
Montana politics ever since he began
his remarkable war upon the Standard
Oil-Amalgamated Copper interests in
this state, announced at banquet
given by him at the Helena hotel last
night that he would hereafter affiliate
with the Democrats. He had been
considered a republican up to the pres
ent time, although as matter Of fact
his strength has been largely in labor
circles.
Since Mr.. Heinze arrived here
Thursday to attend the capitol dedi-
cation he has been entertaining Law
ishly, giving a luncheon and dinner
each day, at which he has entertained
many of the leading men of the state.
Persons of all political faiths have
been his guests on these occasions.
Late last night United States Sena.
tor Paris Gibson had just responded
to a toast when one of the guests pro
posed a toast to the host. Mr.. Heinze
in responding, announced that he
would hereafter be considered a demo
crat, and himself proposed a toast to
democracy. Six republicans at the
board refused to drink the toast, blu,
the other guests did SO with great
show of enthusiasm. Mr.. Heinze's
change of front will probably play ar
important part in future politica
campaigns in this state.
