Simpson Adventures

At the age of 2S Simpson was thirsting for adventure and entered the employ of the Hudson's Bay Com pany. He was sent to Athabasca, where he gained his first experience of frontier life. This was in 1920, the year which marked the death of Sir Alexander Mackenzie, who had been a commanding parsonage in the affairs of the North West Company, and when the vendetta between the employees of the two companies vas at it's height Simpson spent the win ter of 1820-21 in charge of the Hud- sons Bay Company's affairs at Atha- basca and in the following summer he became the choice of the amalga- mating companies as the governor of the Hudson's Bay.
 Simpson justified the confidence
The Wrangell sentinel., 1928-10-18

reposed in him, and for nearly 40 years-from 1921 to 1S60-he was the virtual ruler of the western half of Canada, his word being law from Lake Superior to the Pacific coast. He was knighted in 1899 for assist ance rendered the Canadian govern ment in the rebellion of 1897. and
 in recognition of the explorations he had carried out by Dease and a relative named Simpson, along the Arctic coast.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1928-10-18
Combination Necessary

The clash between the two con- panies at the Selkirk settlement marked the crisis in the Canadian fur trade. There were murmurings of parliamentary investigations of conditions and the officers of both companies became apprehensive as to the outcome. The North West Com pany had never been able to secure a charter to cover it's activities, and the officials of the Hudson's Bay Company were fearful as to what might happen to the charter they had possessed for nearly 150 years. To protect their vested interests the officers of the two companies decided to amalgamate.
 The pooling of the interests of the shareholders of the Hudson's Bay Company and those of the partners in the North West Company, how ever, did not have the effect of rec onciling the bitterness of their men, and it was to bring this about that George Simpson was made governor of the company and charged with the task of smoothing troubles of the employees and restoring the revenues of the new company.
 George Simpson was born in 1792, the same year in which Captain Van couver and Bodega Quadra conducted their famous negotiations at Nootka Sound which disposed of the Spanish claim to sovereignty to the coast of British Columbia Simpson was tal,- en to London in 1909 ,and after com pleting his education was entered in a merchant office.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1928-10-18
Travelled Internationally

During his administration Simp- son proved himself a great traveller, covering great distances in remark ably fast time. He was also a great dresser and was seldom seen without
 his silk hat and immaculate city clothes, with which he greatly inn pressed the natives. He staged his journeys well. If he travelled by ca- noe he saw to it that the canoe was handsomely painted, and when occa- sion permitted the use of horses he had the best that could be procured.
 The trip which was singled out for commemoration on the 17th was one which was started on July 2S, 1928, on which the governor set out at York Factory, on the Hudson's Bay, to visit the company's post at Fort Vancouver near the mouth of the Columbia river. It was a long trip and Is picked men were selected for it. Stops were made at each of the company's posts passed on the way. the books were examined, court was held for the settlement of disputes, and the Indians were brought in so that the governor could address them upon the importance of the fur trade.

Big Celebration In
 'COmmemOratiOn of Governor Simpson
Was an Uncle of the Late W. Scott Simpson of
 The CaSsiar

Sir George Simpson, the tooth an- niyersary of whose state visit to Fort St. James was celebrated on the 17th, by the Hudsons Bay Com pany, was one of the outstanding figures in the history of the settle ment of the western half of the Do- minion of Canada. It was seven years after George Simpson had been appointed to the position of Govern or of the Hudson's Bay Company that he paid his first visit to Fort St. James. post which had been estab- lished by Simon Fraser in 1906 for the Northwest Company.
 The Hudson's Bay Company was the pioneer fur company of North America, it's charter going back to 1870, but it had confined its opera tions largely to the Hudson's Bay area. It was not until independent companies commenced the explora- tion of the western half of the con tinent that the Hudson's Bay off cials showed any interest in 1t. The North West Company was the most formidable of the old company's competitors. It was this company's agents who discovered the Macken- zie, the Peace, the Fraser, the Stu art and the Kootenay and the upper reaches of the Columbia river.
 The North West Company was in virtual control of the country from Fort William to the mouth of the Columbia from 1914 to 1921 and had made great inroads upon the reve- nues of the pioneer company. The competition between the two com panies was marked by more or less lawlessness which culminated in the murder of Governor Semple, ot the Hudson's Bay Company, at the Earl of Selkirk's settlement on the Red river in Manitoba. The Earl of Sel kirk retaliated by capturing the North West Company's post at Fort William and taking Simon Fraser and a number of the company's oth- CT officials to Montreal for trial.
