Greatest One-Man Trek in History
Made by David Thompson When
He Charted Forests of Northwest

his service with them that he charted
the eastern slope of the Rockies, taking
in all the territory from Montana to
the Pacific. He traced all the great
rivers to their sources and he was the
first white man to discover and explore
the upper Columbia watershed, that
portion OF Montana known as the Flat
head country. We know that one sum
mer afternoon in about 1900 he sat on
the summit of Mount Jumbo, one of
the mountains overlooking Missoula,
and made q map OF that region. What
would be his feeling If he could stand
on that same summit today?
On foot, by canoe and on horseback
David Thompson travelled more than
$4,000 miles up and down the north
he had devoted 20 years were published
IN 1911. Although later surveyors with
modern instruments have checked his
maps and surveys closely they have
been able to find few errors. That he
could have done such perfect work in
the conditions under which he lived and
travelled seems almost a miracle. Lakes,
mountains and rivers appeared with
amazing accuracy on his maps.
Thompson was a figure of great mys-
terry to the Indians and they regarded
him with superstitious awe, giving him
p name of Koo-Koo-Sint, the man
who looks at the stars. To them his
long telescope, which he pointed so
often toward the heavens, was an in
strument of magic, a medicine stick
which enabled him to see all things.
He was their great friend.
David Thompson was a map maker
because he loved that work. He re-
ce1ved little encouragement and never
curing his lifetime was he given any
honor for the great service he had
knowledge of the Rocky Mountain re-
gton. For half a century his work and
achievements received no attention. He
died IN poverty in Montreal in 1857.
HIS body was buried in Mount Royal
cemetery without even a stone to mark
his place.

Probably the greatest one-man
exploration in all history was that
made by David Thompson, the man
for whom Thompson Falls and

Canon Stokes was driving to noon

in need of a doctor.
When the churchman halted his car
to aid in the supposed emergency, one
of the gypsy women hurried to his

planned that she was IAN Oklahoma

his right hand in his pocket to touch a

Plans to triple the number Of In
Nestigators employed by the Federal
Alcohol Administration were disclosed
yesterday by Administrator w. s..
Alexander.
The head of the alcohol unit said
that in submitting estimates for the
fiscal year 1878 appropriations, he
had included a request for funds
sufficient to provide for so additional
alcohol "sleuths."
"It was generally understood when
the Alcohol Administration was set up,"
Alexander said, that after two years
our enforcement division would need
about 100 investigators.
Right now we have less than Is.
and because we need at least rs, We
have asked the Budget Bureau to ap-
prove sufficient appropriations to pro-
vide for so more investigators"
Alexander said an increasing number
OF cases warranting close investigation
had been uncovered in routine check
tng and that more special agents were
needed to keep the enforcement divi-
sion abreast Of the administrative
branch.
