Simon & Brothers r MONT A f.MANT SIKKKTS PORTLAND, :: OREGON It Wat Handed Over Bodily by Jam.s I. to Lord Stirling, Who Didn't Know Enough to Keep It Tha Hudson Bay Company's Famoua Present. America has been freely parceled out In gifts since Columbus first set eyes upon the new world. Most of the Unit ed States territory has been at some time or other hnnded over to public and private companies. New York, for example, fifty years after it had been sold for something like $23 was pre sented with other lands to the Puke of York by his brother, the king, and the name of the city Is a witness this day to that transaction. The duke granted New Jersey to somebody else, and a few years before the king bad carved out Maryland for Lord Baltimore. Tennsylvanla was given to William Penn, the Quaker who founded the state, In payment, It is said, of a debt that Charles II. owed Tenn's father, and the same monarch gave both North and South Carolina to eight London gentlemen who stayed at home, called themselves the lords proprietors and lived on the rents until the people re fused to pay any more and George II. took over the colonies. The story of Colonel Talbot at the be ginning of the last century Is one of the romances of Canadian history. The colonel went out in 1703 as an ald-de-camp to the governor, and the founding of a colony became the ruling passion of his life. He was given 100, 000 acres, which grew later to CoO.000. on condition that he place a settler on every 200 acres. Today this territory Is occupied by some of the most flour ishing towns tn the Dominion, and at the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign Colonel Talbot, who was then still liv ing, was the recognized chief of twenty-eight towns, all of which bad been given to him years before as unoccu pied land. Trince Edward Island, covering 3,000 square miles and embracing such flourishing towns as Georgetown, Cbar lottetown and Trlncetown, was given away In 1707 to absentee proprietors and was bought back again on the or ganization of the Dominion of Cana da for 100,000. The Canadian com pany, founded in 1S20, received a grant of 1,000,000 acres, and bought 2,300,000 more at the rate of half a crown an acre. The mention of the Hudson's Bay company recalls what Is probably the most famous gift of territory in his tory. In 1670 Charles II. gave Trince Rupert by royal charter territory 200 or 300 miles wide around the eastern and southern shores of Hudson's bay. In addition to a vast empire of forest and prairie. "Rupert's Land," as the territory was called, ultimately stretch ed across Canada, from the Atlantic end of Hudson's strait to the shores of the Paclflc. As rent for this ter ritory, covering 2,900,000 square miles, the company paid to the king each year "two elks and two black bea vers." Something over forty years ago the Canndinn confederation took over the company's monopoly for 300,000, but the company retained a twentieth part of its lands. The original capital of the company was 10,500, and in two centuries its Income from furs was 20,000,000. But the most amazing gift ever made since the world began was surely that made by James I. to Lord Stirling, the poet, who was then his favorite. On Sept. 21,' 1G21, King James, who must have been extraordinarily deficient in geography, made Lord Stirling, then Sir William Alexander, a present of the whole of Canada. The gift, which included Nova Scotia and Newfound land, was confirmed by Charles I., and the poet was so moved by the blgh honor that be received that be pub lished "An Encouragement to Colo nies," a work that attained three edi tions. The gift became the subject of Interesting legal proceedings, and Can ada once more became the property of the crown. The city of Liverpool was given away by William the Conqueror and again by Henry II., who bestowed it on "the keeper of the castle and pris on of Lancaster." King John bought the site from this keeper and founded the city. Henry III. leased all the crown revenues and royal customs of Liverpool to the Earl of Chester for 10 a year, and the town changed hands several times between the reigns of Henry III. and Charles Stuart That unhappy monarch, being In a state of Impecunloslty, offered the town for sale, and it was purchased by some London merchants, who In 1032 sold the crown rights for 4.V). Forty years afterward the rights were purebnsed .y the corporation. Itntnbny. the earliest settlement of the British in India, was no lightly re garded by Charles II. that Immediate ly after Its cession to England he sold It to the East India company for 10 year.

The pelt of an adult badger U ex tremely thick and difficult for a biting adversary to penetrate, writes a trap per In Fur News, and so loosely does the skin cover the body that the ani mal is able to turn almost around In Its hide. Should a dog acquire a hold on the throat the badger turns himself so that the dog's grip Is on the back of the badger's neck without having loosened his first hold. Then the badger se cures a viselike grip upon some vul nerable portion of his enemy, and while his long tusks penetrate to the limit be digs and scratches with his front feet that are furnished with claws almost as formidable and deadly as might be expected from an anteater of the dark continent. He who has removed the pelt of a badger and Is at all observing does not wonder at this animal being sharp bit ten and that he Is able to hang with bulldog tenacity when the formation and adjustment of Its Jaws are noted. Neither Is it so much of a mystery how be manages to bore through the soil so rapidly that half a dozen men with shovels cannot overtake him. for be is a mass of cords and muscles, particu larly in the neck, chest and shoulders, very similar In physical construction to the ground mole. The badger toes Inward sharply when traveling and always on the walk, twisting about here and there very much like the movement of a skunk, while if it be in winter he makes a business of hunting buried dormant woodchucks. lie is a fur bearer of rnther coarse quality, and there Is a great range of value in the pelts taken, depending upon the length of the coat. A badger Is chiefly valuable wbeu it has a long coat, so thnt the guard hairs can be plucked and used to make shaving brushes. Uakes Home Baking Easy Orchard Sales W. S.
