Dear Friends -About four weeks` ago there appeared on the main therefore of the city an outfit well worth seeing. Four large huskies harnessed to a sled Iaden with furs and driven by a full-blooded Indian who held brot theta from the far North over' many miles of frozen lakes and rivers by way of the lonely trails which lead to the land of the Midnight Sun. His peck of furs contained the skins of the boar, the beaver, the mink, the sable, and the moose and was val- ued at $500. Three years ago the appearance of such outfits in the city would have at'tranted little or no attention, for ur. to that time many Indians , emit ;4,M -breeds as well as white trail't;l'rs brut their season's catch dt,tia to the fur trading post here, bat of late years the large fur companies send their buyers into the Northland and the furs are brot down by freighters. The Indians now seldom come nearer than Athabasca Landing with their dog -teams and sleds, Thus you sop, this ceases to be a frontier town and the Landing which is 1130 miles north of here will for a few years hold that posi- tion until the steady advance of civilization again moves the fron- tier still farther northward. A short dcscript•ion of the husky may not be oat of place. He is a large powerful dog, resembling a wolf, of a light grey color, some of thein being almest white. How he manages to pull such a heavy load and live on one ureal of fish a day, is a wonder ! What travellers and trappers would do without the faithful husky, no one can say for in the frozen north he is the beast of burden But it is chiefly of the early his- tory of this city that I wish to write. The origin of the name Ed- monton seems to be lost, at least I have been unable so 2 far to trace its origin ttitho I have talked to many of the pioneers., In the lat- ter part of the eighteenth nen tory the central trading post of. the Hudson's Bay Co, was known as Chesterfield House, this Was on the Bow River over 200 miles south of here ; but the 131ackfeet ,Indians who were among the most bloode thirsty of the North West tribes made a raid on Chesterfield and burned. it to the ground. Then the 11. 13, Co. changed its chief trading point to where now stands the cit.' of Edmonton House or Fort Ed- monton, The most likely ex plana- tion is that the man who establit:h- ed this poet gave it his name as did Mr. Jasper who established the far -trading post at the entrance to the Yeliowhead Pass auc. which still.goes by. the name of Jasper House. True! there wore Indians'here is well as on the Bow :giver btit these wore the Stony Plain, Indi ars and the Creese both, enemies of the l3lackfeet. The date of the building of the fort by the H. 13. Co. is placed at about 1190 altho this is also un- certain. At that tune the North West Far Co, had £i post some miles down the river. Until the ad vent of the North West Fur co, the II, 13. Co. stayed in the vicinity of Hudson's Bay beet to save their trade they were forced. by -this flew Go toestablish posts thr.nout the wast Noe th` eWestern , o'ilderness aworp.mmanaglaxavxmasstuumummemagassomomwougmarmamme....� ...

Snell, Mgr. with his hundreds of Indian tribes and its countless herds of buffalo. For considerably over half a cent- ury life at the fort was very ranch th.aarsii»le, the principal event being the arrival of the mails once a year. It took almost 2 months for the freighters with their Red River carts, laden with supplies, to make the trip from old Fort Garry, now the hustling city of Winnipeg. Mr, Harrison Young, inspector of fisheries for Alberta, and who has been here since 1869, informed me yesterday that he had once made the trip on horseback in 21 days. In the early sixties the discovery of placer gold on the shores of the river brot many miners from the lootenay and Cariboo alines in B. G, these were followed by the Mounted Police in 1874 and by the settlers in 1881. The North West Rebellion of 1885 under Louis Reil brot very little disturbance in this quarter, the location of the Mounted Police at.Fort Saskatchewan may probab- ly have accounted for this. The 'nearest point was at Frog Lake 'about 120 miles East of here. The, Indians belonging to Big Bear.''s band rose in the early morn- ing.of April 23, 1885, and :murdered the entire population of the Frog Lake settlement with the exception .of two white women and one white man. Tho man who escaped is W. B. Cameron -editor of the Vermilion Signaal, Big Bear and his followers were routed by Geo. Strange and Ciel: ' Steele and ho 'VMS sent to Stony Mountain prison, Manitoba. He died in 1887 shortly after his release. His youngest son still resides on a reserve near Battle - ford while his other son popularly known as Little Bear, and who was the real instigator of the revolt, still roams about Montana with a remnant of the old following of his father, _ ee eesiel 4elee To watch the Indian today as he quietly tramps down the street or the squaws picking up old rags and bones in the back alleys, one would scarcely dream that but 22 years ago these people were a, menace to the entire white population.

Should any of you wish to know more con- cerning the \Vest either hand the questions to the editor who I ant sure would gladly publish them or write a letter tti Box 1244 and I shall clo my best to answer.

"When I get good and ready," was the surly response. "I am :ping now," laconically retorted Stevens, and so saying he drew from his pocket a. mammoth dynamite cartridge, scratched a match on his c'?rdaroy trousers. ignited the fuse, threw the missile • of destruction behind the bar, and ran. The saloonkeeper decided that he was quite ready to go also and clicln't argue the proposition. In thirty seconds the :shack was blown to pieces and business was not resumed at the old stand. "Soon after this a mien appeared': in the camp carrying in a big tin receptacle which he had ou his back s considerable. amount of whiskey, which lie sold to tho men. 13e had been in business only a, short time when o sharpshooter, acting under Mr. Stevens' orders, pingged the can lengthwise while the owner was carrying it on his back. The bullet made "two holes in the can. The whiskey gurgled • dolt, and the thoroughly frightened owner was convinced that, he was. up against a most effective anti - saloon law- r1hat was the end of the whiskey. business in that eainp.'
