HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS

David Thompson, Famous Geographer,
Explored Region in 1SO7-1S1l: Pho
neered Route Used Later by Caval-
cade of Fur Traders.

Tourist travel to Jasper national
park in the Canadian Rockies
| broke all records during the season
| just ending, according to an an
nouncement from Ottawa. The
scenic beauties of the drive over
the Banff-Jasper highway are en-
HANGED by the historical associ-
atoms of the picturesque region.
Prominent among the early travel
ers TO this mountain area was
David Thompson, famous explorer
and geographer.
! In 1907, while in the employ of the
Northwest company, Thompson ex-
i plored the North Saskatchewan river
region OF what is now Banff national
park, later ascending the HowSe river
TO is source and crossing HowSe pass
F'ou- years later in the winter OF 1911
he crossed Athabaska pass in what
Is now Jasper national park, and thus
pioneered a route later used for years
by the cavalcades of fur traders who
/ travelled the "AthabaSka trail" on
their journeys across the Rockies to
and from the Pacific coast. Part OF
this old route is followed by the new
highway south from Jasper to the
Whirlpool river.
The route of the highway north from
Banff and Lake Louise was first tray
eled oy, DR.. later Sir James, Hector,
member of the Palliser expedition

commemorated by Mount Hector, a
giant peak which dominates the high
way for several miles, and Hector lake
which lies at its base within sight of
the highway.
The famed Columbia ice field, gla-
clerS OF which lie within a few hundred
yards OF the Banff-Jasper highway
was discovered by Prof. j. Norman
Gollle. noted alpinist,. and Norman
Woolley in 1898, when they made the

Railsback had come with his parents

the Indian battle was. Railsback tells

had reported a large Indian camp

Captain Townsend decided to pull cut
before breakfast and after travelling
about four miles, the train halted IL

wood trees. Here We had breakfast.
Just as We were finishing, a band OF
about 40 Sioux Indians showed UP
about 400 yards from the train camp
and halted on the ridge where they
made their appearance. The guides
went out to see what they wanted and
were told that they were not on the
warpath of the whites but were going
to the Grow country TO regain a LOT
of horses which the Grows had stoler
from them.
They asked that the train proceed

were hungry, and asked if the people
would send them out some breakfast
The guides reported this to Captain
Townsend, who asked the guides their
opinion of the Indians story The
guides differed. Old Bouyer said you
can never trust an Indian-they meant
devilment, while John RichardC pro-
nounced Rishaw) said he believed
them. Breakfast was hastily gathered
and sent out to the Indians. They
pulled off to one side of the road,
got off their horses. and proceeded
to eat.
Seven Men Attacked
That morning an old man had lost
his cow and stayed back to hunt for
her, saying he would catch up with
the train while we were at breakfast.
Some of the whites had heard shots
fired awhile before the Indians showed
up, and fearing their man was in
trouble, gathered posse Of seven who
started back to look for him. AS soon
as they had passed the Indians, the
Sioux threw aside their food, Jumped
