to learn about the country lying to
the westward and the rivers which he
thought might flow toward the Asiatic
coast and show him a route to India
and partly to aid his Indian allies in
their warfare against the Iroquois. He
had formed an alliance with the Al

whom he had met in the course of his
travels in the vicinity of Quebec, and
to please them he promised to accom-

the red men whose bark lodges and
palisaded villages were to be found in
the northeastern portion of what is
now New York state. Champlain left
Quebec, which he had founded the pre-

of the same year. The chief incident
of this visit was battle with the Iro-

never seen before and which inspired
them with terror and enabled him and
the barbarian warriors allied with him
to win a comparatively easy victory

~ one of the leaders of the "insur-
gents" of the senate during the
extra session and was especially prom
Inent in connection with the discus
sion of the free lumber question In
fact. Mr. McCumber introduced the
subject in the senate by presenting an
amendment providing for free lumber.
Ie contended that the American for
ests were being rapidly depleted and
urged that every encouragement should
be given to the bringing in of outside
lumber for the protection of our OVID
He also declared that every
article produced ON the farm required
more expended energy than any other
class of product In illustrating the
profits of the farmer as compared with
the profits of other occupations the
senator jokingly asserted:
There are 300 tomatoes in bushel,
and when you go down to the senate
restaurant you will pay p cents for
single tomato, or at the rate of $75 a
bushel ana when the colored waiter
has cut up that one tomato for his
farmer patron the farmer would have
to go down in his pocket for another
quarter of d dollar, or the price of a
bushel of tomatoes, to reward him."
