How the Indians Sell FurH.

How the Indians Sell FurH.
"But does the savage understand the
value of his furs?"
"Yes, indeed. and he understands how to
get it. He is not an easy man to deal with
and must be handled in his own peculiar
way. Some OF our traders visit the Indian
camps carrying boxes OF goods with them.
At such times they never mention trading
upon their arrival. The white trader tells
his Indian friends that he has come out to
make a friendly call. He asks after the
health OF the tribe and OF each mans wife
and family. He smokes with them and
talks about the weather and other things
for hours and hours Indeed a night often
passes before any business is mentioned.
The next day the trader may ask one OF the
Indians II his luck has been good and II he
says yes II is a sign that he has furs and
Is willing TO trade. II he says no the
white man goes on smoking. After time
the Indian may thaw out and pull a mink
skin from inside his coat and ask the
tracer what he will give for it. II the
price is right he will sell It, but II not he
will bring forth no more skins and the

Canada. Fur Trade.

During our conversation I asked Mr.. Re-
villon TO tell me how fur trading is carried
on in this part OF the world. He replied:
Nearly all the furs sold are brought in by
the Indians and we buy or trade direct with
them. We know the goods they most
prize and ship them in wagons TO Atha-
basca Landing. where they go by the dif-
ferent waterways to our various posts. The
Indians bring the skins TO the posts aud
exchange them for the goods. II Is all n
matter OF barter, No money passes and
each fur tx valued at 40 many skins. The
standard OF value. used to be a beaver every
fur being worth so many beavers This
value was created by the Hudson Bay com
pany and II Is said that they sometimes
got extravagant prices for their goods
through the ignorance Of the Indians. Ac-
eording to one story the trader would take
musket and stand II on end and then re-
quire pile OF furs high enough TO reach
the top OF the gun In payment for II. In
that way thousand dollars worth OF bea-
yer skins might be gotten for a SO gun.
That kind of trading has all passed away
and the Indians now get a fair value for
their furs. The skin which now forms the
anti u worth from . 70 70 cents. according

DO the Indians make much money in
that way?"
Yes; / have known braves who made
s., 900 or 5000 a year The average Indian
does well, however, IL he nets 800 OF 500.
But much or little, IT is all the same. These
Indians do not knoI how to keep money.
They never consider the future, They
barter their furs for goods as soon as they
have them, and they eat up their supplies
as fast as they can They buy the most
eXtravagant things. / know an Indian, for

The Revillons are Mt competitors OF the
Hudson Bay company. They have been en-
gagged in wholesale and retail fur trading
for It's years, and they are now carrying
on their business with a capital of 100000
francs. or about Sl4.OOO.OoO They have al
ready established posts all over the north
west and they are gradually building up a
line OF stations throughout the lands which
the Hudson Bay people have always con-
sidered their own. They have a central
station here at Edmonton, another at prince
Albert and a third in Labrador, with 200
or 300 branch posts in active operation.
They are buying furs all along the Mac
kenzie river. up and down the shores OF the
Arctic ocean. along Hudson bay and In
different parts OF Labrador, and they are
/ am told, getting a fair share OF the best
skins Of the continent.
In addition to this they have, with the

Son of a FTOntIersman.


Mr.. Dahlman is 40 years old He was
born In Texas and his father was a pioneer
Of the southwest. The vicissitudes of
raw country were to him common routine.
His father went TO Dewitt county, Texas,
when a young man, went into the stock
raising business and became a large ranch
man and storekeeper. Jim Dahlman was
the oldest of three boys and four girls.
About the first things he did after he
learned to walk was to learn to ride a
horse and herd cattle. When he was not
doing this he attended a little school at
Yorktown. For a few years, as youth
he stayed on the family ranch and then
pulled out for himself and roamed about
Texas for a while
He struck Nebraska in March, 1873. He
was looking for Fort Sheridan. No one OF
whom he inquired seemed to know any
thing about the location OF such a place
He had a companion named Bennett Erwin
and the two crossed the river on the ice.
The two started to canvass Omaha to find
directions how to get to Fort Sheridan
They finally encountered Fred Evans, an
old freighter. who knew the way. They
went as far as Sidney. on the Union Pa
ciho, and then Travelled 200 miles by stage
to the Red Cloud agency. A blizzard was
met between Sidney and Fort Robinson
and three or four days lost in picking up
the trail. When they got into Fort Sheri-
dan Dahlman and Erwin had 81 each.
There were four ranches in the vicinity.
The Texans got jobs on that of E. S.
Newman punching cows at the regulation
wage. $50 a month. Dahlman stuck by this
ranch several years and developed into
foreman Of the cattle gang. This was the
cornerstone OF his career and he has not
dropped back since. II was not very long
before he filled his first semi-public ONCE.
This was the. position of brand inspector

The head of the fur establishment and

man, Mr.. Revillon. He is only about rs
years OF age. but he has already built up
this business and has the sole charge OF
II. 1t was while dining with him the other
night that we talked about the fur trade
and the wonderful growth going on here.
Said he:
II came to Edmonton from New York
about four years ago. l had had some ex-
perience in our fur houses in Germany and
England before / went to the United Etates,
and the life in New York suited me, When
I was told to go to Edmonton / rather OBJ
jected, but now / like It and expect to stay
here and build up this trade. II seems to
me that Edmonton is one OF the best bust
ness places on the North American CONT
nent. We started I'm here as fur traders, but
our wholesale and retail merchandising has
so grown that It is eight or nine times as
big as our business I'm furs We are selling
goods as fast as we can get them. We I'M
port them by the car load and they go out
as rapidly as they come in. We have sold
several car loads Of American cotton within
the past few months and have now on hand
car loads OF hardware and general supplies.
There are altogether about seven hundred
retail stores in this immediate territory and
nearly all OF them have sprung up I'm the
last FIVE years. The settlers who are coming

Politics for years has been an avocation
with Jim Dahlman. He has always been
linked up with the democrats For years
he has been member of the democratic
national committee and a warm personal
friend Of William Jennings Bryan. So
good did Mr.. Bryan feel about Mr.. Dahl
mans election that he sent a cablegram
of congratulations all the way from Asia
to prove 1t. When Bryan made his whirl-
wind campaigns by rail throughout the
United States Jim Dahlman was along as
manager and adviser on the most memora-
BILE trips. For more than decade when
ever there was anything doing in Ne
braska democracy Mr.. Dahlman has done
a percentage in arranging it and he is fully
as well known through the state as he is

ocean and from Alaska 10 Hudson bay
supply the most and best furs OF the world.
The Hudson Bay company has been en-
gagged in the business for 200 years, and
1t has sent out millions upon millions OF
skins to the markets OF London. 1t had
until a generation ago a monopoly OF the
trade. BY its charters from. King Charles
It controlled the whole country and gov
erned It as it pleased Then Canada bought
its political rights to British North America
and now fur trading is free to all.
This town OF Edmonton, which lies
over 800 miles due north OF the
United States boundary. is the center Of the
new fur trade. 1t has eight firms which
buy skins. and their purchases aggregate
hundreds of thousands OF dollars a year.
One OF the most important Of the traders
is the Hudson Bay company. which has
recently erected a department store here.
and its chief competitor is Revillon FrereS.
Omaha daily bee., 1906-05-13

The weight Mr.. Dahlman has had in the
party councils of his state is shown by the
fact that he has been national committee
man from Nebraska from 1896 to 1900 and
is now serving in such capacity. From 1900
to 1904 he was a member of the national
executive committee of his party. He was
a delegate to the democratic national con-
vention OF 1892 and was one of the delega-
ton that escorted Bryan to Chicago in
1896. He was chosen chairman Of the state
committee in 1896, and in 1900 had charge
OF Bryans train touring the east.
Mr.. Dahlman was married at linton. Ia,
In 1884. to Miss Abbott, native of Maine.
with whom he became acquainted while
she was visiting at Pine Ridge Agency.
Two daughters complete his family, Ruth,
aged 20 years, a graduate OF Monticello
seminary at Godfrey. ILL.,. and Dorothy,
who Is years old. Their home is at 2SO1
Hickory street. where Mr.. Dahlman owns
an attractive and comfortable cottage
Mr. Dahiman was one of the delegates to
the TTansmisslssippi congress at Omaha in
1896 and assisted In taking the action that
eliminated in the Omaha exposition. He
has been in the live stock commission BUSH
ness in South Omaha for eight years ana
is now assistant manager OF the National
Live Stock Commission company, a large
concern OF its kind. For several years he
was president and general manager Of the
American Live Stock Commission company
OF South Omaha.

of President Roosevelt and when the latter
was inaugurated formed one of the cowboy
