By WALTER e. TAYLOR

Although George Catlin was prob
ably the greatest Of the artists who
wandered across the northwest early
in the 10Th century. there were others
who did good work in making records
of the passing frontier; one of these
who spent four years on journey
from the settlements of eastern Can
ada to the Pacific coast and back
During that period Kane traversed a
portion of the region that is now
northern Montana and some Of his
the handsome Blackfeet people.
Paul Kane had had a broad art edu-
cation in England and in continental
art centers and he was well-equipped
to make picture record of representa-
tive Indians of various northwest tribes
1t was his idea to give as wide a pic
ture as possible Of the various &C
tivities of the Indians. and in addi-
ton to his portraits of medicine men,
chiefs. warriors, and their women folk,
his paintings include pictures of the
Indians fishing. hunting and playing
the many games that were traditional
among the tribesmen. Kane began his
task early in 1876, and by the time
he had completed his. journey four
years later he had made hundreds Of
sketches and paintings. Some of these
pictures are displayed in the Canadian
national gallery at Ottawa. but the
largest part of the collection is pri-
vately owned by a wealthy family Of
Toronto. 1t is expected that all the
pictures will eventually find their way
into the national gallery.
AS interesting as Paul Kane's pic
lures is the journal which he published
in London in 1889 This volume Illus
trated with reproductions of the artists
pictures, gives a lively account Of his
exciting adventures, with many pages
devoted to the picturesque Indian folk
lore. much of which was recorded for
the first and last time when Kane
visited the Indians
Kane's advent was a source of much
gossip among white men as well as
among Indians. The whites were at a
loss to understand why any man would
risk his scalp Just to paint Indians
and hear their story. and many Of the
Indians greeted Kane as a medicine
man whose paint brushes were his
magic medicine sticks. The natives
gathered In great crowds to watch him
paint and the artist records that on
one occasion the press became so great
that the Indians tore holes In the roof
Of his temporary studio so that they

Northwest and Hudson's Bay COM
panies, was a member of the Tonquin
party. He later joined the Northwest
ers and was placed in command of a
large body of trappers, many of whom
were Iroquois Indians imported from
Canada. From 1923 to 1925 he led his
motley band of Canadians, half
breeds. Iroquois and even Sandwich
Hawaiian islanders, who had come to
Astoria aboard the Tonquin and the
Beaver over what are now Montana,
Idaho and Washington. They crossed
and recrosSed the trail of Lewis and
Clark. thoroughly exploring the head
waters Of the Columbia.
In the spring of 1924, Ross party
travelled through He'll Gate canyon,
through the Deer Lodge valley to the
source of the Clark's Fork near the
present site of Butte, then crossed the
main range of the Rockies to the head
waters Of the Missouri. On this journey,
Ross party preceded the goldseekerS
by 40 years over terrain that was to
become the most populous in the
northern Rocky mountain region.
After retiring from the fur trade,
Ross became one Of the earliest and
most prominent citizens of the present
city of Winnipeg. and author of three
books narrating his early adventures.

Jerediah S. Smith { New Yorker !,
William L. and Milton G. Sublette,
Solomon P. Andrew "a Kentuckian) i,
David F. Jackson, James Bridger "a
Virginian). and Thomas Fitzpatrick,
and Robert Campbell 1rishmen.
The first expeditions of the Rocky
were routed by the Assinniboines. In
1922 Henry pushed as far as Great
falls, but was routed by the Black
feet In 1923 he built a post at the
mouth of the Big Horn, but a band
of hoStiles killed several trappers and
stole the horses. In 1924 Ashley and
Smith explored the Big Horn country,
and group of men detailed by Ash
ley and including Jim Bridger, were
first to explore the Big Horn canyon
Chittenden estimated that during the
- years of its career the Rocky Noun
tain Fur Co. shipped to ST. Louis 1000
packs Of beaver worth $500 a pack. The
losses in goods and furs and horses
stolen he estimated at $780, OO-the
human loss at 100 lives.
The great achievements Of the
Rocky Mountain men, as of those of
David Thompson, were geographical
rather than financial. So well had they
explored the new country that when
the United States government under
took to explore the far west, its en-
gineers enlisted the services Of such
men as Jim Bridger, whose exploits
have been honored in Montana by

Guilty getting models because the In
dams felt that any poSSessor of their
likeness would have the power to do
them harm. He used strategy and
brides to get models, sometimes tell
ing the vain chiefs that the queen of
England had sent him out especially
to paint their pictures. Kane nearly
lost his scalp on one occasion when a
woman he had painted died, leading
the Indians to believe the artist had
cast an evil spell upon her. Kane fled
the vicinity.
Interesting are Kane's descriptions
OF the picturesque companies who
of the period. There were natives of
England, Scotland. ireland, Russia and
other European countries, among whom
were found French half-bloods and
representatives of the various Indian
tribes. Most picturesque Of all were
whom were to be found working as
servants at nearly all large HudSon's
Bay Co. establishments. The Hawaii
ans. who spoke a combination of In
dian and their own native tongue had
been brought to the mainland from
Hawaii (then known as the Sandwich
islands, by members OF British trad
not report how these natives of tropi-
cal Pacific islands stood the severe
winters of the northwest Because sup
plies from civilization were scarce. the
employees of the fur trading posts wore
clothes that were weirdly assorted, and
Kane describes them as looking like
bands of gypsies.
Among the picturesque characters
Kane describes, none is more in
triguing than Casanov, chief Of the
Chinook Indians. Casanov was some
thing of Casanova" for Kane re-
ports that the Indian had 10 wives
Casanov is described as a man OF
unusual talents and organizing ability
who had great influence with north
western Indians. Casanov,s household
was given something Of a Gilbert and
Sullivan touch by the fact that he
had among his assistants a Parsonage
known as "Scoocone," or "evil
genius" Kane recalls the "Scoocone"
as kind of lord high executioner"
whose duty 1t was to assassinate per-
sons who proved obnoxious to Casanov.
Unfortunately. the "Scoocone" had the
bad luck to fall in love with one of
Casanov,s wives and thus met the fate
that he had himself dealt out to Casa
nov's enemies. 5ee-.ss.t-7ra ,as. .ssss. 7frs,t-f

of Wilmington reporting the larg-
est number by any n church, ~,
the Rev. Mr.. Barton said.
Gain of 2O4 new members during
the past year included: by bap'
tism, 260; by letter, 226; by state
ment, IL; and by restoration, s,
which were offset by losses Of 300,
including by letter, 1913; exclusion

A present membership of 9,34(

regretted, of course, that some
churches 60 through the w h l e
year without making and baptis-
ing any disciples.
ssAnd this condition prevails all
too often with Baptist churches, as
it probably prevails with churches
of other denominations" he said.
DR.. Barton also expressed re-
gret that the gifts to missions,
showed a slight decrease of 1927. Al
but expressed satisfaction that the
gifts to local expenses showed a
gain of nearly $1,000.
DR.. Barton expressed the opinion
that the contrast between the gifts
to missions and to local expenses
does not express a hostile attitude
on the part of churches toward
the missionary enterprise, but the
pressure of the local needs of the
churches and the demand for in
creasing local budgets to care for
local interests may better prepare
them to increase their missionary
contributions in the future.
