LIBBY TELLS
EARLY. HISTORY
OF THIS STATE
White Men Encouraged to
Come Here BY Fortunes
Made BY Fur Traders

Grand Forks, N. D., July 5.-R-
Fortunes made in the northwest, in
cluding what is now North Dakota,
by fur traders who entered into
sharp and illegal competition with
the Hudson's Bay company, had much
to do with encouraging white men to
visit what was then remote frontier,
according to DR.. o. G. Libby, head
Of the history department at North
Dakota University here.
DIR. Libby tells about it in his
fifth article on the history Of the
state, written for the Associated
Press. The article follows:
After the expulsion of the French
from America in 1868, the English
took over the government Of Canada
and made Quebec the capital of the
new colony. Montreal, however, re
manned French and here were CON
gregated the canoe men, the hunters
and the traders that had made the
French fur trade land, the enterpris-
ing Scotch Highlander as we'll as the
English merchant, both looking for
business openings and ready for any
venture; the old French trading
houses that had outfitted all of
Vercndrye's expeditions as well as a
hundred others were located here
too.
Were Valuable Men
There were here nearly all of
Verendrye's old employees, eager to
be sent back into the wilderness.
Knowing every trail and portage, ia
miliar with every detail Of woodcraft
and having the good will of all the
Indians from Montreal to the
Rockies, these men proved invaluable
to their employers, the merchants
that had come from the British Is
lands to make their fortunes in the
New World.
The newly organized fur brigades
followed along Verendrye's old trail,
utilizing his unused portages, camp
ing places and the sites of his aban-
doned trading posts. In a few years
the Indians Of the great northwest
were again sending their furs to
Montreal as in the best days of
French supremacy. These. daring
adventurers were known as free
traders since they enroached freely
upon the lands belonging to the
chartered Hudson's Bay company
Their trade was entirely illegal. and
their furs might have been seized
by the English officers at Quebec
but these officers were of the same
race rs the free traders, they ad-
mired their plucky adventures into
the farm wilderness and they per-
hsps shared financially in their
profits.
Traders Become Fauous
Some 81 these free traders became
famous in the northwestern wilder
ness. Alexander Henry was at Mack
mac n l76l, trading and making
friends with the Indians. When the

son River While Guards
Level Guns on Inmates

Ossining, N. Y, July 5.-tP)-Held
in their prison yard by the leveled
guns of guards, 1900 convicts at
Sing Sing prison were forced to stand
helplessly by while three youths in
a canoe drowned in the swirling wa
ters of the Hudson but few feet
away.
Many convicts clamored for per-
mission to 60 to the rescue, but the
guards, who feared the men might
take advantage. of the opportunity to
escape, threatened to shoot the first
man who tried to scale the fence.
The youths were not identified and
today search was under way to re-
cover their bodies.
The convicts were having their
early morning exercise yesterday
when the accident occurred. A 12-
foot iron bar fence separates the
prison yard from the rivel and
through this the men peered at the
drowning struggles Of the boys.
Warden Lewis E. Lawlee defended
the action Of the guards. He pointed
out that only few weeks ago a
prisoner pleaded for chance to
rescue another convict who supposed
ly had fallen into the water. When
the "dOrwning" man was pulled out,
he was found supported by two in
ner tire tubes, Warden Lawlee de-
clared, and it later developed the
two men were brothers..
The warden. nevertheless. ex-
pressed regret that ha had not been
present when the youths were strug-
Cling for life as he would have had
the authority to allow a volunteer
convict to attempt a rescue

chase of Bonds

Today, according to present plans.
the Bank Of North Dakota will be
called upon to cash the largest
check ever presented to it for pay
ment.
One small piece Of paper will de-
mand the payment Of $1,000, 500 and
when it is honored the State Work
mems Compensation Bureau will
have Joined the ranks of heavy bond
holders.
Arrangements for the transaction,
made necessary by the law which
permits the compensation bureau to
carry its reserve in bonds. already
have been completed. The money
and the Bank Of North Dakota stands
to make over $59, 900 on the deal
and yet the bank management is none
too happy over the aff";-. c. r.
Green, bank manager, said he would
much prefer to forego the profit and
keep the bonds. The reason is that
he probably would be able to get
more for them some months hence.
He feels that the bank is making
something Of sacrifice in selling
the bonds agreed upon, even though
they are being sold at premium.
- Bear ~ Per Cent
All of the bonds to be purchased
by the compensation bureau are of
Series H, state real estate bonds,
bearing four and one-half per cent.
For one lot of $25O,OO0 the bureau
will pay face value plus $l4,8O5 pre-
MUM and SITS ACCRUED interest.
For the second lot Of 100000 the
bureau will pay face value plus
$44,l9O premium and $45O accrued
interest. Both blocks Of bonds bear
interest at four and one.half per
cent but the premium on the first
bloc will reduce the income to the
from the second block will be 4.l2la
per cent.
In view of the fact that the bu-
reau has been getting only three
per cent for its money deposited in
the Bank of North Dakota. its direc-
tors are happy to make the change.
/ 1t will increase the income of the
fund approximately $4,000 a year,
keven II Il grows no parger than,it is
now.
/. Investment Of its funds in the
bonds will cause the bureau no more
worry than deposit Of its money in
the bank. The bonds will be regis
tered and deposited with the state
treasurer for safe-keeping. He will
clip the COUPONS rs they come due
and credit the proceeds to the COM
pensation fund.

Green's reluctance to make the
deal was based on his opinion that

Flyers Will Try
For New Airplane

Paris, July 5.--(R-Clarence d.
Chamberlin, Bert Acosta and Bcrnt
Balchen. says the Paris edition Of
the New York Herald Tribune, prob
ably will try for new airplane en-
durance record as soon as they re-
turn to the United States. 1t is the
belief of the three flyers that the
present record, made by Acosta and
Chamberlin, of 81 hours, II minutes
rs seconds, can be bettered by at
least 10 hours by carrying 80 gallons
more Of gasoline than when the sec-
ord was made at New York in April.
The airmen are convinced this can
be done without materially altering
the Bellanca plane with which the
record was established.

TO confer the cross Of the legion
Of honor on Commander Richard
f. Byrd. There Is also the ques-
tion Of giving the same decora-
tiOn to the commanders three
cOmnaniOns on his Transatlantic
flight.
Paris. July 5.-tP)-Command
Richard f. Byrd is likely to leave
for home on the steamer Leviathan,
sailing July IL, although the date Of
his departure has not yet been def
nitcly fixed. 1t was vstated today
that he and his transatlantic flight
companions have decided to leave
Paris Saturday and spend the week
end at LIE Tongue, the famous water
ing resort. Beyond that, their plans
have not yet been formed, except
that they will return to the United
States as soon as possible.
Their decision not to stay in
France for an extended period is due
to pressure brought to hear on them
to hasten back to the United States
for the welcome prepared for them
there, and Commander Byrd's desire
to begin preliminary work on his
proposed south pole flight.
Celebrate the Fourth
Byrd and his companions, with
Clarence D. Chamberlin and Charles
a.. Levine, who preceded them in
flight across the Atlantic were the
central figures in, Paris Independ-
ence Day celebrations. They were
acclaimed by crowded boulevards.
The six Americans had luncheon
with Louis Bleriot, who flew across
the English Channel 1S years ago;
attended an Independence Day cere-
mony in the Place de Etats Unis.
and were guests Of the American
Chamber of Commerce at it's annual
Fourth of July banquet.
Commander Byrd called on the
mother of Laptain Nungesscr to Of
fer his sympathy. After voicing the
hope that her son would be found
alive, he told her that she would
soon have q check for 10000 collected
in America by the Nungesser-Coli
committee, Of which he is a men,
Der.
At the chamber of commerce BAN
quet the airmen were cheered by
their fellow countrymep and by
Marshal Foch, former PreSident Mil
lerand and General GOueard and a
hundred or so prominent French
men.
Byrd Visits Jusserand
Commander Byrd visited Jules ].
Jusserand, former French ambassador
to the United States, at the hospital
where he is a patient. He got q new
explanation from the former am
bassador as to why his compass did
not function properly toward the
close of the transatlantic flight.
M. Jusserand believed it likely
that the compass was affected by
the iron mines in the Calvados Sec
tion of Normandy over which the
plane passed, as ships off the Cal
vados coast often have reported that
their compasses went bad.
Commander Byrd gave one of the
three propellers Of the America to
Chamberlin and Levine. who have
been using German propeller since
their original blades were damaged
when they made their forced landing
at Klinge on their flight from New
York to Germany.
The two collapsible rubber life
RATS Of the America were presented
by the commander to Maurice Droug-
hin, French aviator, who is planning
to fly from France to New York.
