VILLAGE HAS HAD
ITS DAY OF GLORY
Old Tadoussac Now Quiet
Summer Resort.

The oldest white settlement in
America, and once the center Of the
American fur trade, the quaint little
French Canadian village of Tad0us-
sac, on the lower st. Lawrence riv-
er. is today quiet Canadian sum-
mer resort.
Nesting among the foothills of the
blue-capped Laurentian mountains
at the junction of the st. Lawrence
and Saguena rivers, the village itself
is still living in the past. the nat
ural beauty of its surroundings and
the quaintness of it's people attract
ing each summer large number of
holidayers who are seeking to leave
behind the rush and hustle of mod
ern life.
Woven around Tadoussac is a long
and romantic history. Here Jacques
Cartier, the first explorer of New
France, landed in the summer of
1885. and there are numerous tales
of visits by those fierce sea rovers,
the Vikings. at a much earlier date.
Tadoussac. with its natural protected
harbor. was long used as whaling
station by the Basques and Bretons,
who were the first to form a settle
ment there, and 1t was in 1880 that
the first house in Canada was built.
At the opening of the century,
Tadoussac became the center of the
fur trading industry. which extended
as far as Labrador and Hudson bay.

PLANTATION of the boards sale. last fall,
Of 100000 bushels, Of wheat to
China.
The chief question in the minds Of
congressional inquirers is why the
farm board sold wheat to the Marking
government on long term credit when
advices from China are that China
has paid cash for Canadian and Aus
tralian grain and has been selling
large amounts Of wheat to Russia and
getting payment in cash.
The farm boards transaction with
China was fulfilled last fall and win
ter on the Marking governments plea
that its own granaries were empty,
that It had no funds to make cash
payments and that millions of Chi
nese faced starvation.
In approximately the last four
months Of 1881 and the first four
months Of this year, the United States
sent to China 14,SO0,OO0 bushels of
the farm boards sterilization wheat.
1t accepted China's notes, partially
secured by customs receipts, calling
for payment in 1888, 1884 and 1885.
During this same period, China's
wheat exports to Russia, Japan and
Korea showed surprising upward
fluctuations.
Whether or not the Marking gov
ernment's ability to buy American
wheat on credit made it possible for
Chinese shippers to increase their ex-

The first trading post Of the Hudson

The first trading post of the Hudson
Bay company. that great company
of gentlemen Adventures, was erect
ed on the site where the modern Ho-
tel Tadoussac now stands.
In 1903, Champlain landed at Ia
doussac and made his disastrous
treaty with the Algonquins, thus in
curing the enmity of the warlike
Iroquois, and in the same year the
oldest church in America. the Ia
doussac Indian chapel, was erected.
On the site of the first church a tiny
chapel still stands and the bell,
which three centuries ago called the
converted Indians to mass, still rings
out from the chapel belfry.
In 1861, the Iroquois sacked the
village, leaving standing only the
church, which their superstition
prompted them to leave unmolested
and for time Tadoussac was a de-
serted village.
In the meantime, explorers had
pressed onward and in the search
for new worlds this beauty spot on
the lower river was neglected. Great
cities sprang up throughout the Do
minion and Tadoussac remained a
tiny village important today only for
its historical interest and Its sum-
mer resort fame. Once the scene of
great historical events. peaceful and
warlike, Tadoussac today submits
each summer to a peaceful invasion
