the French, and various other places
In Ontario are proud to trate their
history as far back as the days when
.the French were in possession of
Canada. Tet there is a village In the
peovince which cl4lma to be even
older than Kingston. to have the
longest continuous white settlement
In Ontario, and, what is more re-
markable, it was founded by th.• f:ug-
Iiah, nut by the French.
We divide Ontario rout;h'y ..into
two parts, Old Ontario and New On-
tario, yet portions of New Ontario can
elaliu that they were settled while
most, of the southern portion of the
province wax almost unknown. Even

JR these, Hudson Ray posts; the
Oldest in Ontario le Mouse Factory,
situated on au island in the Mouse
river, six miles from James Bay. The
drat fort Was established there le
1871, three years before Froutenat
built the tort that bore his name,
and It is safe to say that nu part of
Ontario has a more Interesting his-
tory than this little northern village.
To -day, Moan, Factory is stUl'al-
most two hundred miles from the
nearest railway. For two centuries
and a half, the only Method of com-
munlcatlon b.•tw.•eu Moos.. Factory
and the South was by canoe In sum-
mer and dug vain In winter. For
the past tiro or three 7Pars, • It has
been possible to Ko by alrplan., the
trip from Kelul lake, near Cochrane,
to the Bay, u distance of two hun-
dred miles, requiring two hours. By
canoe, the round trip requires three
weeks.
James Bay was discovered in 1614
by Henry Hudson, who was seeking
the Northwest Passage to China. He
wintered there with his ship, the Die-
covery, but un his way home the crew
mutinied and he was set adrift.
Twenty years later, Captain Thomas
James of Bristol, England, explored
the bay, which was named after him
In 1868, a number of English gen-
tlemen sent two ships to Hudson Bay.
One of these, the Nonsuch, entered
the bay pnd built a post on the
Rupert river, the factory of which
Mr. Watt Is now the head. The cargo
of fun carried Lowe by this ship was
so valuable that King (:barley was
asked for a charter, which he granted
1D 1870. Thia was the beginning of
the great Hudson Bay Company,
which hsa, played so large a part lu
Canadian history.
The Beit year, 1671, this company
founded two more posts, roily known
as Yoder Factory and Fort Albany.
both of Which are in Outarlu. Moose
Factory write,formerly known as Port
Hayes and,I, y the Freuch, as Fort
M(onsonls. -
About diteeh yearn after these
forts were butlt, the Fren,•h in Can-
ada determined to force the English
out Lf James Bay. ('h'•valler de
Troves was placed in cont mend of 100
men which proceeded there and niade
a surprise attack and captured the
fort easily with uo loifa of Ole on
either side, proceeding at once to Itu-
pert's House, which Is now 1n Quebec.
Here they meet some resistance, which
was speedily overcome by dropping
bombs down the chimney. Six were
killed and two injured. Fort Albany
was also taken along with tors valued
at 50,000 crowns.
During the folldwiiig years, these
posts, changed hands) several times,
but the last battle •alas the greatest

After considerable trouble he suc-

his brother in charge of the tort. Ar-
rived at his destination, h, learned
that Hudson Bay had been given to
England by the Peace of Hyawlck,
signed about the time he sailed from
Port Nelson.
The two centurlen and a' quarter
since that tante have been more peace-
ful ones for Moose Factory and Its
neighboring Ports. To -day It 1s a
lovely little frame village, set on an
Wand, In the. great Moose river.
About fifty Scottish men and women
with a few children constitute the
white population and there ars sev-
eral hundred Indians.
Possibility of navigation in Jane.
and Hudson Bay Is often dlecus4ed.
Moose Factory and Fort Albany are
Ontario's only salt water ports. Janne
Bay Is too •hallow for ocean-going
vessels. The Hudson Bay Company as-
serts that the larger bay 1• too dan-
gerous for ordinary freight boats.
Their own supplies are brought in

hundred years ago, the little shifts of
the time not only sailed Into Hudson
Bay, but they fought battles there
and the number of ships lost In the
Ice was very few, Indeed.
