Blind INDIAN AS
GUIDE TO 1907 POST

MssouIa, Mont, Feb. os-Dy A.
p.)-The site of trading post
which, 500 miles inland from the Pa
ciiic ocean, was founded in 1907, at
virtually the same time that Jonn
Jacob Astor was establishing his post
at the mouth of the Columbia river,
has been located by Duncan Melon
aid. of Dixon. Mont, son of an early
Hudson Bay Company factor. \
blind Indian was McDonaId's guide
The heap of stones and wood ashes
are on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille
in northern Idaho. They are all that
are left of the log barbados ana
cabins which were built by David
Thompson in 1907.
Thompson was an employe of the
Hudson Bay Company in eastern
Canada when Astor determined to
send his expedition by lfoat around
Cape Horn Offered employment by
Astor, Thompson decided instead to
head an expedition of his own to
cross tn continent and establish "a
post at the mouth of the Columbia
before Astors could round the Horn.
But Thompson's expedition was
forced by hostile Indians to camp for
winter north of what now is in the
city of Spokane. and the Thomson
party arrived at the mouth Of the
Columbia to find Astor's men build
ing their cabins. Thompson returned
to the Rocky mountain region and
built his fur-trading posts on Lake
Pend Oreille in what has become
northern Idaho, on Flathead Lake in
what is now western Montana, and
near the present site of the city of
Missoula.
The recent expedition which found
the site OF the Lake Pend OreiIIe
post, designated by Thompson in his
diaries as Kullyspell House. was led
by Mcdonald, accompanied by the
blind Indian from the Flathead res
ervation known as Old Aleck, who.
In his boyhood. had seen standing
the old stone chimney of kullyspell
House.

rock. which Old AIeck remembered
the party found nearby two heaps Of
stone Of uniform size. beneath which
was dlsintegrated gray dust, the re-
mains OF the hearth fires OF the fur
trader OF III years ago.
Mcdonald said the cbfmneys prob
ably collapsed some time after 1856,
but before the early white settle
ments began in the sixties. He added
That the principal Importance attach
ing to the discovery of KulIyspelI
House was that it fixed the spot of

Yea often they may bore;
From the classroom | may wish to fly,
And my books see never nj ore.
But these are all means to an end,
To make me ready when

And take my place with men.
They say I'm like a little twig,
Tho soon to be a tree;
And as the little twig is bent,
Inclircd the tree will be.
So I'll resolve to do what's right,
At home, in school. at play;
