On it's recent trip to Winnipeg, Manito-
ba, the University Glee and Mandolin
club had the opportunity of visiting one
of the most interesting establishments in
the world. Here is located the central
headquarters in. America of the Hudson
Bay company, the Oldest corporation in
existence. The company has played such
name must be known to everyone. Its
charter, granted on May 2, 1870, ny
Charles H., made it primarily a fur COM
pany to carry on trade with the American
Indians, and as such it continues to the
present day though its great repositories
NOW do a business very like the depart
ment store.
Through the kindnes Of Mr.. Chapman,
head commissioner for Canada, the uni
versity boys were met at the store by
Mr.. Hall who showed them through the
building and explained many interesting
features of the business. The Depart
ments on the first floor such as the drug
and grocery departments, are chiefly for
the retail trade, but the main stock is
contained in the floors above. There. is
but one shipment year into the north
among the Indian tribes. This is sent
cut early in the spring, as soon as the
waterways open, for these must be relied
on, as the railways extend only a short
distance north. The goods are done up
in hundred-pound packages pressed into
very compact form and then seWed up iu
burlap, each package being the load for
one man. It is very interesting to a
novice to see. a miscellaneous collection
of articles brought into the packing room,
piled in neat form, then pressed tight
under power and finally sewed up with a
dextrous hand The packers become very
expert in getting a large quantity Of
goods into a very small space. Mr.. Hall
explained that every bundle goes through
nearly one hundred stages on its journey,
most of them on the backs of Indian car
riers or by dog sled. When the goods
reach the trading posts they are opened
up and exchanged for furs which the
tribesmen bring in. &&:-'-1'. ="
1t is interesting to note what articles
the company finds most in demand by
their queer customers. OF course, the
blanket will always be the chief article
of Indian trade, for it forms the most i'm
portant part of 81 his dress. Knowing
nothing of yards or feet, the Indian buys
his blanket by points," the sizes run
ming by halves from one point" up to
four. A point is designated. by dark
line about eight inches long woven into
the blanket near one erad. Thus ''two-
ard-one-half point" for instance, has
three parallel lines, two of them as just
mentioned and the third only half as long.
These blankets, though quite heavy, are
remarkably fine and it is worth noting
that they have been made by the same
company for over two hundred years.
Each Indian buys one every spring and
that must last him through the entire
year. probably suffering very little from
the application of water. =
Another staple is the jacket, a garment
resembling somewhat our toboggan coats
with hood attached to pull UP snug
over the head. These are made of diff
fcrent cloths, and in different colors, but
all Of about the same cute Fhe most
peculiar thing one notices about them is
that, with the exception of those in

A meeting of the republican state
central committee will be held at
Grand Forks on Thursday, May Sth at
the Hotel Dacotah, for the purpose of
fixing a date for the holding of a re-
publican state convention to nominate
two members of congress, and state
ticket. 1t is likely that some date in
July, possibly 18th or 22d will be
chosen. 1t is understood that the
state militia encampment will be held
about the middle of July and in order
not to interfere with this the 22d or
23d would seem to be preferable to an
earlier date for the convention.
