St. Louis Republic.
 The world has wondered much why the main seaport of the Mississippi Val ley should have been builded upon the narrow strip of cypress swamp lying between Lake Pontchartain and the Mississippi river The spot was never an attractive one as place of abodes the Indians never built their wigwams there and the early French occupants of the gulf coast near by summed 1t as long as they were permitted. Such a sight for the commercial metropolis of the lower Mississippi valley could have been chosen for no other than strategic reasons. In France John Law with his Mississippi bubble, and in America the Chickasaw Indians are responsible for the location of New Orleans.
 War, commerce and speculation map ped the place for the first of the French settlements on the Mississippi after Old Kaskaskia, which preceded 1t by eighteen years. it was In 16SZ that La Salle explored the great river from Lake Michigan and padded his canoe in the water of the gulf. With great solemnity he set up the French standards and claimed all the lands drained by the stream in the name of the French king. Nine years before, Joliet and Marquette had decended the river as far as Arkansas and been turned back by the stones of the dangerous character of. the Indians be- low. But La Salle was Norman and not easily turned back.
 Failed to Found Cities.
 La Salle's exploration fired France with the ambition for continental empire in America, and in 1885 he was sent out with several ships and a strong party of colonists to found a French settle ment at the mouth of the Mississippi but the expedition lost it's way, the colony was landed at Lavaca on Mata- Eorda bay and at last went to pieces there. But France persevered About the be- gining of the year 1700 ahother we'll equipped French expedition intered the gulf under the command of Iber- vile and his younger brother, Bien- and the colonists made their first settlement at Biloxi, on Mississippi sound From this base Iberville ex- plored the Mississippi from its mouth up to about Baton Rouge and went away, leaving Bienville in command. Bienvllle's first task was to establish safe communication with the French settlements in Canada, but the Chicka- saw Indians would not have 1t so. Jeal- ous of the white mans encroachment and supplied with arms by traders from the Carolina colony, they made maya
