Jolla Proctor George Rutherford Hon. J. S. Hendrie, C.V.O. Cyrus A. Birge C. C. Dalton FOUND THE FRASER RIVER. Abandoned at First and Believed 0 Be Non -Existent. Judge Howay recently delivered an interesting lecture in Vancouver one "The Attempt to Find the Fraser Riv- er by Land. and Water." 3udgo How - ay, as reported in The News-Adver. tiser, of Vancouver, said that the real discoverer of British Columbia Was Captain James Cook, who on his third voyage landed at Nootka on March 29, 1778. Captain Cook discovered. and named Cape Flattery by reason of its appearance having flattered him with the Hopes of finding a harbor. One of the best-known of all the traders and discoverers on the coast during the latter part of the eigh- teenth century was John Meares. His vessel, the Felice, entered the Strait of Juan de Fuca in June, 1788, and sailing southward he was on July 0. 19'38, in the latitude of the Columbia river, which at that time was known as Martin d'Aguilar's river or the River San Roe. fir; did not discover `he river, however, and cane to the deeision that "no such river as that of San Roc exists as laid down in the Spanish charts.,, On May 11, 17'2, Captain Gray sailed up this non-existent river in the American ship Columbia, and Meares claims for Gray the honor of being the first person to circum- navigate Vancouver Island, but the modest captain disclaims the honor by stating that he did not sail round the island. A trouble which had arisen between England and Spain owing to the seizure of Lieutenant Meares' vessels and trading post by the latter, was settled in 1790 by the Treaty of the Escurial, end the terms stipulated that au officer should be sent to Nootka to receive from Spain; in solemn form, restitution of the terri- tory. Captain George Vancouver was selected for this duty, and was given command of two vessels. Reaching these territories, he im- mediately compared notes and dis- cussed the geography of the regions already known with the Spanish com- mander. Many weary months of toil and re- search followed in the hunt for the Fraser river, and although surround- ed by evidences of its existence, and while lying in its very waters, Van- couver and the Spanish commanders solemnly agreed that the River of Florida Blanca did not exist, and un- ceremoniously rubbed it off the chart. The hour of exploration had not come, nor the men. It was reserved for one of the hardy bourgeois of , tire Northwest Co. sixteen years later almost to a day, after many trials and much hard- ship, to seek out and trace the course of the river, from its source in t':e Shining Mountains to its mouth be- hind those giant sand -bars and to give his own naive -Fraser -to that river." e tee .,:•+:« .

In the midst of the heated dissension on points connected with certain his- torical sensatious which their teacher had sought to impress on them the two grandchildren appealed to their grand- father, who sat musing and puffing his pipe in the corner, for support. "Grandpa," cried the eager brother, I "who was it killed Caesar -Cassius or Brutus? I say Cassius." "Waal," replied the grandfather, sud- denly becoming grave and taking his pipe from his mouth, "it war one or Pother. Let me see. Yes, I guess 'twar th' man you said." "And sis says it was Marie Antoi- nette who got put to death in France," again cried the youth, triumphantly glancing toward his sister, "but I say it was Mary, queen of Scots." "Now, you may be right there, too," ventured the involuntary vindicator after fidgeting in bis chair. "Come t' think of it, 'twar Mary, queen of Scots, that war electrocuted In Prance." At this the young girl's eyes flashed. "Grandpa," declared she, stepping be- fore, him and eying him sternly, "you don't seem to know anything about it" The old man's head went up as it shocked. "Th'. truth t h is children," , fi he then admitted as' he passed his free hand over Iris head helplessly, "your grandfather ain't read th' newspapers. very careful this week. I'm a leetie mite behind." Being pretty is the privilege of some women and the pursuit of others. Many a man can't tell why he wants to marry, but they all know why they want to =marry.
