sitter they have passed many
years. A writer in the Sunday
Star having seen chair present
ed to relative of Kit Carson by
him, Carson, and talked with the
owner turned his type writer
loose on few columns of Carson.
Among other things he says Car
son was great trapper and
took his furs down to St. Louis
every spring.
First Carson was not a great
trapper in the sense of gather
ing large amounts of furs nor in
the length of time spent IN that
avocation. trapping with him
seems to hive been a side issue.
He was a trail man and a great
traveller. Also one of the great
men of the west when the west
was beginning to vanish. He
probably never took a shipment
of furs to ST. Louis, he may have
sent some there for sale, but it
is more likely that he sold at the
annual henderson, in the noun
tains.
Neither was Carson a great
discover of new routes. He was
a great guide and got Fremont
out of some places which he
would not have escaped from
without the aid of such man as
Carson. But Fremont, styled
the pathfinder, never discovered
a new ronte any place. On his
first trip he says himself that he
followed the trail of the emf
grants going to Oregon. He did
climb mountain before any
other white man did but the only
reason it had not been done be-
fore was that it was not a game
habitat. Perhaps no other man
ever knew the mountain region
of this continent from the Column
bia to Chiauchiaua as Carson did,
not that he was a discover, but
that he was a traveller in that
part when no other man had
travelled over any great part OF
it. St. Louis was and is the
great fur market of the world,
she handles more furs however
per year in the last few years
than she did when furS we're the
heaviest part of the trade of the
place. The great days of ST.
Lonis as a fur handling point
lasted only a few years, Begin
ming with its founder, Lac1ede it
may be said that it ended with
the dissolution of the firm of
Smith, Jackson and Sublette.
The days of Lisa, Ashley, the
Chouteaus, Cabens, and the times
of the American Fur Company
was the great days of St. Louis
as a fur market and they ended
while Carson was yet boy.
Give Carson his due in the lines
in which he was an actor and he
will be found among the great
men of his time.
He was a fearless Indian fight
er, when necessity required a
fight, but his knowledge of In
dian character and his mate
Justice constituted him a great
manager and peacemaker among
the Indians. His services as a
peacemaker were likely of more
value to his pioneer community
than his ability as a war leader
and that was not small.
AS a traveller in that wild coun-
try, a leader of men, a guide and
business man and his services to
his country, always given with a
free good will places him with out
a peer in his time and county.

morning. by the crew Of the police boat
Visitor
An investigation led the officers OF
the city boat TO the conclusion that
the man was murdered some time last
night, and then cast into the river The
fact that nothing of any value could be
found on his torn clothing and that all
marks by which he could have been
identified had been carefully torn from
his apparel led the officers still further
to believe in their foul play theory.
A description of the man was at once
sent to City Hail. The description
gives the mans age as so years and his
height as feet 10 inches.
He was sandy haired and partly bald.
