HUDSON BAY co, HELD
 SWAY FOR 200 YEARS

The Hudson Bay Company, the last porations, was chartered on May 2, 1870, by Charles II and ceased to exer- else it's monoply on June 23, 1870, after 200 years of authority in the northern part of North America. For many years after it's foundation the French were in possession of Canada. The Northwest Company, of Montreal, was a formidable rival from 1783 to 1912, when the younger company was merged into the older. The principal trade of the company was in furs, and it was uniformly profitable trade.
 The Hudson Bay Company originally possessed a proprietorship and a mo- nopoly of trade throughout Rupert's Land, as the land whose streams flow into Hudson bay was called This name was derived from the famous Prince Rupert the principal original incorporation Tn 1872 this jurisdiction (with the original authority to govern and make war upon savage nations) was extended westward to the Pacific the authority for the new territory to last only period of 20 years by the royal license. After 1859 the company had no monopoly west of the Rocky mountains
 In 1868 the company was authorized by the act of the British Parliament to surrender it's powers and rights to the crown and incorporate it's territories with the Dominion of Canada. Tn 1869 this was carried out, and in 1870 the full transfer was accomplished.
 The Hudson Bay Company, in it's charter, acquired the sole and absolute government of the vast watershed of the Hudson bay. the Ruperts Land of the charter, on condition of paying yearly to the King and his successors two elks and two black beavers. when

 In 1912 Lord Selkirk founded the Red River Company. This interloper on the battlefield was harrassed by the North west company, and it was not until 1921 when the Hudson Bay and North west companies-impoverished by their long warfare-amalgama their In- terests, that the Red River settlers were able to reap their harvests in peace, disturbed only by occasional plaques of locusts and blackbrds.
 The Hudson Bay Company was all ways careful to foster the idea that it's territory was chiefly wilderness, and discountenao ced the reports of it's fer tility and fitness for colonization which were from time to time brought to t. @ ears of the English government.
 Finally the Britishers had their eyes opened through a petition of Red River settlers who demanded protection from the government. When in 1869 the chief part of the territories were t:ans- ferred to Canada. on the proposition of Earl Granville, the Red River country rose in rebellion and refused to receive the new Governor. Louis Reil, the in surgent chief, seized on Fort Garry and the companys treasury, and TO- claimed the independence of th.. s.ttle . was sent in command of an expedition which reached Fort Garry on August 23, when the insurgents submitted. without resistance and the district re- ceived the name of Manitoba
