The First Great Fur Trader


a MERICANS not only have good

Born In New Orleans about ITO, the
son of Spanish official. at the age of
twenty he owned a boat In which he
engaged In commerce on the MIssis-

a store for QUILTING Indian traders
This led naturally to his going Into
that business himself, at first with the
Usage Indians on the Missouri under a
giant from the Spanish authorities of
Louisiana.
Then Lewis and Clark made their
historic exploring trip through the
newly-acqulred Louisiana territory.

tunities offered on the Upper Missouri.
he formed partnership with William
Morrison and Pierre Menard of Kas-
kaskla. H., under the name of Lisa.
Menard & Morrison, and In 1907 set
out with party of traders, guided by
George Drouillard. who had been with
Lewis and Clark.
That winter they spent ON the Vel

with the Crows, and the following
summer found Lisa back in st. Louis.

that Gov. William Clark should ap-

to counteract the British influence.
The Spanlard did his Job we'll. He
not only organized war parties against

the British but he secured pledges OF
friendship and peace from nearly all
the Missouri tribes which kept them
out Of the war. II 1t had not been for
Manuel Lisas efforts, the War OF 1872
might have had far different ending.
Lisa died In 1920 but to the end OF his
days he dominated the Missouri Fur

Still in Controversy

stitute of Technology and DR.. Arthur

Ing authorities" on cosmic rays, de-
bated on the subject for about three
hours and still cosmic rays are as
much of mystery as they ever were.
Doctor Millikan argues that cos
mic rays are photons or bullets" of
light. Doctor Compton says they are
electrons. highly charged particles of
electricity. Each backs up his theo-
rles with photographs, charts and de-
tailed arguments. But the debate
was a draw; there was no decision,
In fact. So we are left to make our
own choice or decision as to what
these mysterious rays are until some
scientist proves definitely Just what
they are and where they come from.

more than once, dispelled In laconlc

Diplomats Troop to State

MAY 10. 1891
BVTnifcd Prcss


WASHINGTON. May 10.-Debt
conscious diplomats trooped to the
state department today to pay their
respects to Secretary OF State Cor
dell Hull and, perhaps incidentally,
find out how much cash their gov
ernments will have TO pay on their
debts to this country TO maintain
or regain respect.
Thursday is diplomatic day" at
the state department the day Of the
week set aside 70 call at the de-
partment and pay respects to Of
ficials there.
This nicely is observed with
clock-like regularity, even though
the country which the diplomat
represents may not have paid any
thing on its material debt to this
country in several years.
Today, however, the debts took
precedence over social obligations,
due to President ROoseveh's pro-
nouncement that passage Of the
Johnson act had made no material
change in the policy of this gov
eminent concerning European debts.
He indicated that the door still IS
open to governments desiring TO pay
mere tokens on their debts, pro-
viding they can prove that a token"
is the best they can do. "Diplo-
matte day" provided an opportunity
for the diplomatic representatives to
inquire regarding the pronounce
ment.

installments become due on June IS.
