"The first mail I took up consisted of two letters and three papers. Previously the mail for the Hudson's Bay Company's factors was sent in-from Hudson's Bay, " the boundary line. Boats were then dispat- ched down the Winnipeg river and finally the bags were carried across the plains to Fort Garry by Wiwi:- The first.trip of the voyageurs was a dangerous one, and the mails were forwarded-at the paint of the pistol. The Indians objected to the ,i'dvnce of civilization. "My first trip,," said the captain, "was to Fort William on the Rescue. I had never been up the lakes before, but by the chart I succeeded in getting to- my destination without touching stick or stone. It was a bright moonlight night when I anchored off Fort William, and in ten minutes after- ' wards the boat was surrounded by a hundred canoes. They were filled -with Indians, who had silently swept out to seethe monster. They would not come near the vessel, Pres- ently the Hudson's Bay factor approached in a huge gondola, rowed by twenty In- dians, who sang their boating songs. The night was pleasantly spenrin conversation With the -factor, who pointed out (the night being very clear) the magnificent territory which the Hudson's Bay Company controlled. The company afterwards charg- ed exorbitantly for everything we wanted. They were opposed to our going into the country, and finally succeeded in getting our contracts cancelled. We had much trouble in keeping our canoe stations in- tact. Once, .that at Dog,Lake was •torn down and the boats scattered. I later bought one of our own boats at Fort William, but as soon as I discovered our brand beneath the seat I refused to pay for it. We used coal on our up trips and wood on our down trips.e We bought the land where Port Arthur is located, and we think we still have a claim there. The Government sold it with- out our leave, but the money, we paid for it lies in the' Crown Lands office, and we intend to have a refund or ,some satisfaction very soon. Many a time I have taken--on wood'at Port Artily. When I first went up the lakes there were only three white men living on the route." fr ay, Novi nth '• e WO A 4 • • * 4 -11 •4 i * 0 4 t Our Great Lakes are a fixed entity and haye been for, ajong time. Historians in- writing of their townships or counties are . not often called upon for a story that hap- pened on the water as they Are, for the most part, inland. Flom our history bbolts, we hate learned of La Salle who, on his march southward to the Mississippi River, built the Griffon and, on reaching the shores of Lake Michigan, sent it back east- wards laden with furs, under the command of his trusty one-armed lieutenant, Tonti. Less familiar is the commercialisim car- ried on by one MacGregor in the Fishing Islands off the Oliphant area of Bruce Coun- ty. • He found the region swarming with fish, netted -them, and shipped them by the barrel to Detroit. Of course, the In- dians made some use of the lakes also. From the Expositor of April 15, 188'1 we have an interesting reminiscence of .the first steamer on Lake Superior and its mission of mail service. "-Captain Dicke, Inspector of Hulls, was the first who navigated a steamer up to Fort William, Lake Superior. This was in 1858. The fact was an interesting one, and - a reporter, meeting thegenial Captain in the hotel, ,at Kingston, had a lengthened conversation with him about it. He said that along about 1858 a company of Tor- onto gentlemen was formed and a con- tract given to them to carry the mails , from Collingwood to Fort Garry, now Win- nipeg. Captain Dicke and his brother went to Buffalo and purchased the steamer Res- cue, a handsome craft.. The boat was orig- inally built for service on the coast of Florida, but the company who had her in' hand failed and the Dickes secured her for one-third of her value. The captain found her -to be the safest steamer he ever com- manded. The wildest gales of the upper lakes did not disturb her. She is now em- ployed in.the Gulf, laying the buoys, There was great opposition to the proposedspen: ing up of the Northwest by the Hudson's Bay Company, and through their efforts the mail contract was abrogated and the Tor- onto gentlemen suffered a great loss, "Mr. Dawson„ now member of Faille- . , • for Algoma, was engineer of the company's case. He laid out the route for taking the mails through from Fort William, Bridle paths were cut through to Dog Lake, thence tO Rainy River and down as far as -Fhtertyqweekl, more; and , more) pertple-,dy.ogyer i,y,rhat mighty,,k jobs are accomplished by low cost Expositor Want ,Ads.
