OF THE HUDSON'S BAY co. AT
OLD FORT HALL. 1S42-1S51.

SWilliam S. Lewis, Secretary, Spokan
Historical Society,"
Richard Grant, while an old Hud
sons Bay company employee, who's
name appears as No. 686 on the lis

the year 1924, was one of the las
men transferred to the Columbia dis

of the Rocky Mountains.
AS clerk he was stationed fol
many years in the Saskatchewan dis

Fort Edmonton. He was assigned to
Fort Assineboine in 1830-31 and 1882
and by minutes of council for the
aatter year was re-engaged for the
term of three years at 100 pounds
per annum and advanced to clerk at
Fort Edmonton for the years 183334
and 1885. In the latter year, in COM
pany with James Douglas, Thomas
y Fraser. and George Gladman he was
promoted to the rank of chief trader
in the company's service.
As chief trader he was first sta
toned at Norway House and in June,
1896, attended the meeting of council
as chief trader. He was trans
ferred to the York factory district on
Day III bIc Ycdio 1901 90
and stationed at Oxford House in that
district in the years 1839-40 and 1841,
though having a special assignment

for the purpose of attending to the
shipping.

Fort Hall in Richard GRANTS time
was small quadrangle trading post
about 100 feet square, built of adobies
or sun dried brick in the absence of
} suitable timber, and some small log
cabins occupied by ten or twelve men
attached to the post and their families.
} The location of the post was favor
able, having good range and an
abundance of wood and water and
being on the main trails between the
Missouri, Platte, and Green rivers, and
the Columbia river district
| The post was stocked with flour,
rice, sugar, coffee, tea, rum, tobacco,
and miscellaneous supplies which
were furnished trappers and emf
grants at prices frequently stated to
be below those charged at the last
American post, Fort Laramie.
Grants treatment of the emigrants
appears to have been uniformly kind
and courteous. Through his post
passed the great emigration of 1841,
1912, 1843 and subsequent years up
to 1852, and | have been unable to
find record in any contemporary
journal, letter, or writing that an
American at the time and place ever
spoke disparagingly Of his conduct |
towards them. The Reverend Spald- |
ing in letters written at the time of |
the Whitman massacre expresses the |
wish to have Grant come to his re-
lief
The trader at Fort Hall lived in
opulence. The post pos
essed some fine beef and dairy cattle
as well as a productive garden, and
such luxuries as milk, butter, green
fresh beef etc., supple
mented the diet of buffalo meat and
salmon, birds, and wild game.
Captain Fremont, who was at Fort
Hall, September 1921, 1S43, purchased
several horses and five oxen in

made by Francis Payette at Fort /;

In this connection and in reference
TO the annual stockholders meeting

moss and financial statement Is con
tanned In a letter to stockholders by
the board of directors:
AT the time OF our last meeting.
August Is, 1922, the company had
six producing shale wells and three
producing sand wells. the price or
crude oil wal 10 cents per barrel and

ing the past rear two new sand

section 90 Is drilling at a depth of
about 1000 feet. all sand wells have
been shot, cleaned out and equipped
with tubing and packers. the shale
wells equipped with plunger pumps
the newest and best type OF gas
traps have been Installed on sections
is and %. two tanks added to the
battery on section is. and just at
this time gas connections are being
made whereby our gas may be sold

Gas returned us for fuel purposes.
1.-THE market price OF crude re-
manned at 20 cents per barrel for
four months or until December e.
ana from that time until May II.
1923, It fuctuated between $l.0b
s1.65. From that date until sep
tember 81 It was s1.25 and since
then It has been 90 cents. During

barrels, and for the corresponding
period this year It was 32,94s barrels
or more than 1000 barrels per day
The test conducted by the conserva-

Included in the ir5t item OF the
expenditures Is the payment made
each month on tho purchase price
of the lease on section %. of which
at this time s46.096.7s has been paid
out of a total amount of 100000. or
nearly one-half Of the total. As
these payments are one-third OF the
gross amount sold from this lease
each month, the entire balance
should be paid in a reasonably short
time and after that the lease will
carry nothing except tho govern
