The friendly Indians built villages
near the fort that they might be
protected from their deadly enemy,
the Iroquois. The Hurons, Miames
and Ottowas secretly sent Cadillace
a necklace to indicate friendship. He
told them not to fear the Iroquois,

help them drive out the terrible foe.
Later he kept this promise.

81 will tell you then. In sixteen
hundred and thirty four Jean Nlco-
let and two Jesuit Priests, called
Father Breboeuf and Father Daniel,
started from Three Rivers for the
Huron country. They started, hop
Ing to explore the country and to
found a Mission for the conversion Of
the many red men, or Indians In
that country Seven Indians, after
much persuasion and the gift Of
many beads, undertook to paddle
Nicolet's canoes. and guide him along
the irregular shore Of the lake.
They followed the same route that
Father lie Caron had travelled TWEEN
ty years before. They visited the
Nipissings for awhile. Nicolet had
heard many terrible things about
the Nipissings. They were friendly
to him so he knew they had been
misunderstood.
Nlcolet and his companions went
on together until they came to the
mouth of the French River. Here
the Priests turned southwark to
establish Missions Nicolet and his
guides padded in the opposite di-
rection. They came TO the head of
Georgian Bay. and padded around
the southern end Of the Manitoulin
Island.
Etrlnne Brule. who had been with
when he discovered
Lake Ontario. told Nicolet about
the winding channels and beautiful
islands and the broad strait which
he was now going through.

Nicolet's party was now, the current
was strong and they padded past

Interest Paid By Cities

A recent bulletin from the census
bureau says.
The rate of interest paid 10y cities on
their interest bearing debt at the close

those in the northeastern section Of the
country. according to the y. s. Census
Bureaus forthcoming report on the
statistics of the l5s cities in the United
States which had II population of over
30. 600 each at the time mentioned.
The highest average interest rates
were; In cities of over 300, 900 popula.
