HISTORY OF TT. HALL.

From lifts History OF Idaho: For
half a century after the Lewis and
Clarke expedition the progression or
onward movement Of human life in
this region was but incidents in the
history Of the great fur companies Of
North America. Trappers and hunt
ers penetrated the mountain fastness-
es and followed the course Of streams.
They abused the confidence Of the In
dian, cheated him out OF his peltries
and gave him rum, and soon the
friendly savages were driven to
bloody deeds of vengeance, and for
fifty years there was constant and
more or less bloody warfare between
the red man and the white man. The
trappers were men of reckless cour-
age, skilled in hunting and fearless
as Indian fighters, but they were too
often men Of more savage passions
than the savages themselves, who re-
garded the Indians as their legitim-
ate prey and who hesitated at neither
deceit. treachery or murder in their
dealings with them.
So rich In furs was the Snake river
country that 1t soon became the fav-
orite rendezvous of the United States
trappers. Between 1926 and 1880
there were probably 600 American
trappers in this section and also many
belonging to the Hudson Bay COM
pany, and 1t was not infrequent for
the rivalry between the two compan-
les to result In open warfare. Their
annual meeting places became the
scenes Of the widest revels. Ameri-
can and British trappers, French voy-
ayers. half breeds and Indians gath
cred together trafiicking, feasting,
drinking and lighting. Trading their
peltries OF a years catch for rum,
they made merry together in drunken
hilarity or murdered each other In
the madness Of intoxication. More
mad debauches have never been de-
scribed than those mixtures Of glut-
tonous goodfellowship and drunken
mirth and murder where we're min
gled in jargon Of English. French and
Indian the hybrid oaths Of many
tongues.
While in so sense pioneers, the
great fur companies did much for the
cause Of civilization. Their trappers
and hunters did the work Of explora-
ton. They blazed the way to the Pa
sifc and while no thought of founding
! a state troubled them in their strug-
Il gle for wealth, the necessities of trade
compelled them to establish posts
which they called forts, and which
for three quarters OF century after
wards marked the great overland
road to the coast The trapper was
gone almost before the appearance Of
the advance guard Of civilization, but
he has left his mark indelibly
stamped upon thoughts and manners
in the intermountain regions.
i In 1909 Alexander Henry Of the
/ Missouri Fur company, following in
| the footsteps Of Lewis and Clarke,
lcrossed the Rocky mountains and
built 6 trading post on the north
branch of the Snake river which he
called Fort Henry About the same
time John Jacob Astor cast bis eye

Wyeth. however, now had . distinct
object IN view and proceeding west
Until he struck the Portneuf river, he
camped on July 14th near ito juno
ture with the Snake Here he thought
his interior post should be located.
A charming spot for the purpose was
found in the midst Of a rich grassy
plain on the south banks OF the Port
neuf river, the opposite side Of which
was covered with large cottonwood
and willow trees, rising from thick
underground of the same, mixed with
currant bushes. Here a stockade was
erected and named Fort Hall, and 1t
became famous In overland emigrant
annals.
On August 5th, 1884. at sunrise,
the United States flag floated over the
new fort. Prior to this time Fort
Leavenworth on the Missouri river
had been the frontier post of the Uni
lted States, and the building of sub
stantial fort, midway between that
place and the mouth of the Columbia
l,river was most important event. 1t

was still debatable ground and every
move of this kind had It's influence

| In Wyeth's party were five mis-
lsionaries, among them Jason Lee, and
| just prior to the completion of Fort
Hall on Sunday, July 9th, he
preached in the forest adjacent to the
fort. This was the first Christian re-
ligious service performed within the
limits of what is now Idaho. 1t was
not until two years later that the
Presbyterians estamlished mission
among the Nez Perces on the Clear
! water and still some years later be-
fore the Jesuit fathers preached
Christ among the Occur d'Alenes and
Kootenais Of the Panhandle country.
But in the region around Fort Hall,
as much Of man and as little of God
as possible was the rule In spite OF
this service. The dedication Of the
fort was made day Of debauchery,
Wiley immoral men were given az
much vile drink as they could stag
ger under and the sun set on a day
Of besotted indulgence and drunken
brawling.
| AS soon as the news or the found
ing Of Fort Hall reached Oregon the
Hudson Bay Fur company sent out
an expedition and planted Fort Boise
on the banks Of the Snake about mid
way between the Baise and Payette
rivers. It was built as rival trading
post, to Offset the influence Of the post
OF the American company. Wyeth's
venture again proved failure finan-
cially and in 1885 he sold Fort Hall
to the Hudson Bay company. and the
Columbia River Fishing and Trading
company was dissolved. Although 80
far as he was individually concerned
tWyeth's labors were In vain, still his
influence upon the occupation and set
