from the worthiness Of the whole.
An inspired casting director ap-

choice of the actors for the smaller

well-acted photoplay, but one

AS early as 1849 the smuggling Of
goods from Canada to the United
States was q common practice, &C.

the history department at the Uni
versity Of North Dakota. Conditions

In 1845 CAPTAIN Edwin Sumner
who was stationed at Fort Akin
son, Iowa territory, was ordered by
the Federal Government to make a
cavalry reconnaissance into the Red
River Territory as far as Devils
Lake. He marched by way of Big
Stone Lake and Lake Traverse and
met several hunting camps of half
breeds in the valley of the James
and of the Sheyenne. Their leaders
were notified in each case that they
must either cease hunting buffalo
In this region or move into Ameri-
can territory permanently.
In 1849 an expedition to Pcmbina
was undertaken by Captain John
Pope and Major Samuel Woods, COM
inandant at Fort Smelling. The trip
was made during the summer, the
party leaving the fort on June 6,
and reaching Pcmbina on August l.
While on the way they met q Red
River cart train on the way to Fort
Smelling. The train was in charge
Of Norman w. kittson, American Fur
Company trader at Pembina since
1S43. The carts were loaded with
furs and robes to be exchanged for
trade goods and other supplies need
ed by the Pembina settlers. At this
settlement census of the inhabi-
tants was taken and the population
was found to number 637, mostly
English and French half-breeds.

AS this was a duly authorized
government expedition the command
ers carried out their orders and
located and marked the 49th parallel
or international boundary line. The
boundary post set up ut this time
was located at a different spot from
that of 1923. The differences be-
tween the traders of the American
and British companies were taken
under advisement and a temporary
settlement was effected. The free
traders in the Red River settlement
were very FESTIVE under the strict
rules of the Hudson's Bay company.
