chow DO We VOTE?"
QUESTION ANSWERED

Since the enactment Of the first
registration law in Indiana which be.
came effective in 1912, the law has
been changed or amended so much
that the average voter sometimes be-
comes bewildered and does not know
when or how often he must register
to be entitled to cast his ballot.
Two years ago all voters were OBJ
lgated to go to the court house to
register or send their application to
the county registration board. This
method was very unpopular and many
voters would not take the time to
register. 1t was also expensive as
four members of the registration
board were paid SIS per day for six
months service.
The general assembly of 1919 re-
pealed the old registration law and
enacted new law of which the fol.
lowing is a brief synopsis.
Registration Board Named.

ers, the clerks from the two political
parties that cast the highest and next
highest vote at the last election
There will be one board for each pre-.
cinct in the county and wherever pos
sible the rooms for registration will
be the same as those used on election
day.
There will be two days for regis
tration, Saturday, the seth day before
the election, and Monday, the 29tf
day before the election. This will
give all voters who move from one
precinct to another an opportunity
to register.
All of the registration boards will
be in session from 1 p. m. until 6
p. M, on each registration day, and
after the time for receiving applica
tions for registration is past the board
will remain in session until all of the
work is completed. The names Of
\ male and female voters will be record
'ped on separate pages on the registra
ltion record.
Must Sign Application.
Before the voter can be registered
ihe must fill out and sign an applica
ton for registration.
Any person who is entitled to vote
at the election and who from sickness
or other cause cannot go in person
before the registration board may mai
or send his application by filing ou
the proper registration application
which shall be sworn to before a not
airy public or witnessed by two voter.
OF the precinct who shall certify tina
they are acquainted with the appli
cant and know that he is the person
he represents himself to be and tina
his statements are true. Severe pen
alties are provided to prevent false
registration.
All information will be furnishec
by the registration officials who will
assist in filling out the applications OF
registration day but if every voter will
provide himself with the proper blanl
and have it properly filed out it will
save the registration officials mucl
work. The important thing to remem
Der is that no person can vote unless
he registers. There will be only tw,
registration days, the 59th and tn
18th days before the election which
are known as the September and DC
tober registrations.

craft standing high above the river
bottoms, moving against the power
full current without visible means of
propulsion, and carrying great car
goes of merchandise and great num-
bers of passengers. 1t is said that the
advent of the steamboat was the
thing that finally won the respect of
the Indians for the Americans as
against the British. Hitherto they
had regarded their visitors from the
north as being rather superior to
those from the south, but the scale
was turned when they saw the "fire-
boat" and its power to walk on the
water.
'The mountain trade of the central
west, could not, of course, be con
Quoted by water although there were
instances where cargoes of furs came
down the Yellowstone, the Big Horn
and the Missouri rivers from the
very heart of the mountains. AS a
general thing the expeditions were
conducted by pack trains. The
Rocky Mountain Fur company nearly
always adopted this method. Often
the trains were of such a size as to
stretch along in single file for more
than a mile. They were as novel in
a way as we're the Missouri craft in
their particular field.
GAS the mountain traders did not
make use of boats, neither did they
build trading posts. Instead they
held annual rendezvous at places
agreed upon the year before. Hither,
at the appointed time, the nomadic
populations of the country assembled
the free hunter with his retainers,
parties of hired trappers, and bands
of wild Indians-to transact the bust
ness of the year. Several days, and
perhaps a week or two were spent
at this business, with any amount of
fun and frolic, and never without
abundant dissipation and debauch,
which left the luckless trapper none
the richer for his years hard labor.
The rendezvous over, the caravan re-
turned with the furs to the states and
the trapper to his retreat in the
mountains. These rendezvous were
among the most romantic features of
a business which was never wanting
in unique and picturesque details.
1.-The business of a fur trader, as
one may readily see, developed i'm
portant commercial establishments
and produced important companies
that operated along the Missouri river
among which were the old Missouri
Fur company and the great American
Fur company. The latter company,
founded by John Jacob Aston, was a
mighty power OIL the river during it's
40 years of business there, and it abb
sorbed probably three-fourths of the
entire trade. The Rocky Mountain
Fur company did much of the noun
tain business down to 1884, when it
went out of business.
Some Early Fur Traders
among the leading fur merchants
were Aston & Crooks of New York,
and the Chouteaus, Sarpys, Sublettes,
Bents, st. Vrains, Robert Campbell,
General Ashley and Manuel Lisa of
st. Louis. Kenneth Mckenzie, Will
liam Laidlaw, Alexander Culbertson,
Henry Vanderburg, Andrew Driss,
Fontenelle, Jebediah s.. Smith
and James Bridger and scores of
other names we'll known in their days
were the active agents of the various

1888; Nicollet in 1899; Audubon in
1843, and many others at various
times.
"Under the same protection the
missionary work of the far west was
undertaken. Lee, a Methodist mis-
sionary, crossed the plains in 1884;
Whitman and Parker for the Presby-
terians, in 1885 and 1886, and Father
DeSmet for the Catholics in 1910.
"Thus all the beginnings of civili-
cation in this then remote and I'M
known country were made under the
fostering protection of the fur trade,
The first trans-continental highway,
the Oregon trail, was opened and es-
tablished by the traders as was also
the no less important route of the
Santa Fe trail. If it's relation to
western history as shown by all these
was Of profound and far reach
ing consequence, the annals of its do
were of exciting and romantic
interest. Never before or since has
there been a period in the history of
our country that contains so much
appeals to the lover of adven-
ture. The student of those stirring
days will feel that it is not necessary
to go very far from home to find a
filled with history as attract
i've as anything romance has pro-
1uced."

countless multitudes that were to
follow.
1.-THE trader was the original In
dian agent, and the best friend, in a
practical way, that the Indian ever
had. In the simple relation which
the two races first bore to each other
based upon almost primitive customs
of exchange, both peoples were bene-
fitted and both were satisfied. The
white man entered into the true life
of the red man, learned his language,
adopted his customs, married his wo-
men and won their affections by be-
coming like one of themselves. He
was the original pathfinder. 1t was
he who sought out and established
the highways of travel which have
become and will always remain the
avenues of commerce in this region.
He was likewise the original name
giver in the geographical nomencla-
ture of the west.
"The Missouri river was the scene
of the principal activity of the fur
trade. All the tribes along the river
were good robe producers and beaver
hunters and the business of trading
with them grew to large proportions.
Forts and houses without number
sprang up throughout the valley. 1t
is within limits to say that there
we're at least 200 of these establish
ments along the main stream and its
tributaries. Some of them were per-
manent and important structures,
while others were mere temporary
shelters which were occupied for
only a season or two.
"It was a singular life they led at
these remote establishments. We
shall never look upon its like in this
country again, nor perhaps in any
other. Lonesome and solitary to a
degree during the greater part ofsthe
time. it was every now and then en-
Iightened with episodes in which
there was excitement enough and to
spare. The motley and unruly popu-
lation with which the trader had to
deal, lawless hunters and PREACHER
GUS Indians, made the element of dan
ger an ever-present one, and there
was scarcely a fort in the western
country which did not witness tragic
and noteworthy events in the course
of its existence.
Came in the KeeIboat
est. Louis was the emporium of
the fur trade, and all the expeditions
started from and returned to that
point. They always travelled by boat
when going up the Missouri, and the
early navigation of this stream was
one of the most interesting and sin
gular features of the business. Be-
fore the steamboat came the keelboatr
was always used. 1t was a very res
pectable craft and was propelled in
a variety of ways. Sometimes 80 or
40 men would pull it along with a
line reaching to the shore; again they
would push it with poles from the
deck of the boat, when the cordelle
could not be used, or would propel
it with Jars when both other methods
failed. A great assistance was the
breeze and the sight of sails
was a thing on the Missouri
in those days.

ed, was a marvel without parallel In

also no lighter Illuminating oils. Up

received. This portion represented
what is commonly called mineral

amount of about "a per cent, and

to 6 IL per cent, was a brownish
