AS I pass Lafayette park in the

him rafting his sword and saying:
when these United States were

and house of representatives passed
In 1889, Oklahoma will celebrate the
150th anniversary of the day when
Maj. Jean Pierre Chouteau, a
French fur trader, led a peaceful
invasion into the uncharted South
west and set up trading post at
the site of the present-day city Of
Salina in Mayes county of north
eastern Oklahoma.
In Muskogee, some so miles south
of the site of Chouteau's settlement,
plans are being pushed for a cele-
bration to carry out the legislative
resolution.
Seeks Trading Post.
In the early spring of 1876, Chou
teau left St. Louis, where he was
a member of an influential family Of
traders and merchants, to find
suitable location for a new trading
post among the Indians of the South
west.
Travelling southwark along the
Grand river, the Frenchman found
the site he had dreamed ola place
where an abundant supply of game,
mostly deer and wild turkeys,
abounded among thick timber
which would provide ready source
of building material. By what Chou
teau must have regarded as provi-
dental good luck, the site also stood
near an inexhaustible supply Of salt,
vital necessity to his men and ami
mails. To crown the good features
Of the location, the river itself would
furnish transportation facilities.
The pioneer lost no time in con-
structing large log trading post at
what is now Salina.
Post Abandoned.
Economic reverses, however, dis
appointed the French explorer, who
discovered that the territory was not
the permanent home of any Indian
tribe and that prospects of support
ing a trading post, however pro-
pitious the location in other re-
spects, were insufficient to justify
making the venture permanent
settlement in the area.
Chouteau returned to St. Louis
and for six years the little trading
post stood silent and abandoned in
the wild loneliness of a primitive
country. But in 1902 events trans
pired that gave new life to the set
Element. Through the traders eff

cations, are some Inscriptions op
orators who have used room short
ages to gouge the vacationing pub
lie.
Other Costs liked.
Food sold along the highway also
costs more. Boat and bicycle rent
ais and golf fees have been raised,
in many instances by more than 100
per cent. Fishing and hunting
guides also are asking bigger pay.
Barring business slump, vaca-
ton costs probably will be as high
or higher next year. The American
Automobile association expects that
many potential vacationers, now
hesitant about driving the old car
any distance on poor rubber, will
have new cars or new tires by next
summer.

Travellers ARE 'J0LTED'


War-weary Americans, reveling
in the lifting of travel restrictions,
gasoline rationing and steady war
time duties, are hitting the high
ways and byways by the millions
this summer and fall bound for
their first vacation jaunt in long
years.
Not only on the highways are they
receiving jolt, however, for va
cation costs, which climbed through
out the war years, now have scared
to a new alltime high.
Thousands are being jolted by
boosts in the rates of resort hotels,
inns and cottages. A few resort
places haven't raised the ante since
last year, but virtually all charge
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1946-09-20

substantially more than they did in
prewar and early war years.
Surveys of hotel directories show
that the increase in rates range
generally from is per cent to more
than 100 per cent since prewar
days. Many inns which were aban-
doned before the war because of
guest shortages have reopened and
are doing capacity business at
rates as high as $50 day for two
persons.
Travel experts say an increase
amounting to more than so per cent
is quite typical in most sections.
A few old inns, apparently de-
sirous of maintaining the goodwill
Of patrons, have made surprisingly
small increases. At the other ex-

souri, valley removed their homes
to eastern Oklahoma.
1t was a double victory for the
Frenchman. He had sought re-
venge on the Spanish government
which had taken his trading monop-
oily and given it to one of its subjects.
By the migration of the Indian
from the Spaniard's trade territory,
his business was virtually ruined.
In addition, it created a mar
ket for Chouteau's abandoned
trading post to which he re-
turned to start the 150-year pa
rade Of progress which has
made great, modern state
from a wilderness.
A celebration to be held in con-
nection with the annual Free State
fair at Muskogee, scheduled for the
week of September 20 through Oc-
tober 6, will bear Gov. Robert S.
Kerr's stamp as the Official Ok
lahoma commemoration of her seS-
quicentennial.
Pioneers to Participate.
During three days of the fair,
colorful pageant will be presented.
Several hundred eastern Oklaho-
mans, many of them direct de-
scendants of early-day pioneers, will
appear in the pageant, which will
portray the arrival of Chouteau in
the state and the story of the little
trading post.
c. E. Chouteau, an official of the
Indian agency at Muskogee, will fill
the role of his illustrious ancestor.
The fair, gala panorama of mid
way gaiety and agricultural and ed
ucational exhibits, yearly draws
thousands of visitors from eastern
Oklahoma and adjacent Arkansas.
In addition to the sesquicenten-
NAL pageant, fair visitors will be
able to view comprehensive dis
play of the states agricultural and
industrial outputs. The fertile farms
which dot Oklahoma will contrib
ute their animal and vegetable
produce to the fair and the modern
educational institutions of the Sec
ton will present exhibits.
Fairgoers may see the original
site of Chouteau's landing by short
drive from Muskogee and may visit
other interesting historical spots
near this city, the original capital
of the Five Civilized tribes.

Profits or Wages
Which Come First?

Recently I received a postcard
saying: Thought OPA was sup
posed to reduce prices, not increase
Them" 1t was signed "Dumbbell."
Well, a lot of us dunbbells
thought that was what it was for.
But when congress tore OPA to bits
and then reshaped it nearer to its
hearts desire, it laid down specific
orders for raising prices. The law
was written on the logical theory
that you can't expect a farmer to
raise, or manufacturer to make,
things that cost so much in the rails
ing or the making that there is no
profit in the game.
Who is to blame for high prices?
The manufacturers who made so
much out of government contracts,
or the workers who got higher
wages for making the things the
government needed? If you know
which came first, the hen or the
egg, you know the answers.
A new rival of DOT has been dis
covered which not only kills pests
but keeps them away for a week or
10 days. OF course, I wouldn't com.
NIT murder but I know a lot of
pests whose absence for 10 days
would be Godsend.

That saying aptly applies to
hurricanes. The Key West Wealth

published in The Citizen yester-
day, said that the hurricane had
passed at a point 1870 miles due

The bureau further advised
Key Westers that, during squalls
in the afternoon, we would have
fairly heavy winds from the
south and southwest. The heavi-
est of the gusts was at 4:3l in the
afternoon when the velocity at
tanned was 54 miles an hour.
And what was the result? a

had turned and was coming this

the storm was at point west

British Offer

LONDON, Oct. 8.-Because of
the acute shortage of beef in the
American zone of occupation in
Germany, the British government
offered today to supply American
troops in that area with twenty
million pounds of beef.
There was only one stipulation
regarding the offer, and that was
that the United States govern
mcnt assure the British govern
ment that the equivalent pound
age of beef would be returned

The British government ex-

caused in Great Britain.
No official information has yet
been received from Washington
