EARLY DISCOVERERS.
In order to understand the contribution
made by Jacques Cartier to our knowl
edge of this continent. It Is necessary to
bear In mind what had already been dis
covered when he began his work under a
commission from Francis I of France,
in 1534. Columbus had, under the aus
pices of Ferdinand and -Isabella of Spain,
made his first voyage in 1492, and three
others before his death. In 1503. Hi had
landed on one at the Bahama Inlands,
discovered Cuba, Jamaica and Hayti,
and sailed for some distance up the Ori
noco. John and Sebastian Cabot, com
missioned by Henry VII of England, in
1497, had reached the continent in the
vicinity of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Cortereol, a Portuguese, had in 150C dis
covered Hudson Strait, giving rise to the
hope that the passage to India and China,
of which they were all In search, had
been found. In 1518 Balboa, a Spanisn
adventurer, had crossed the Isthmus cf
Panama and called the ocean he discov
ered tae "South Sea." In the same year
another Spaniard, Ponce de Leon, had
Bklrted the coast of Florida from St. Au
gustine to Tampa Bay. In 3519 Magellan,
a Portuguese in the service of Spain,
Jhad passed through the strait which st'll
bears his name, crossed the Poctnc Ocean
and established Spanish sovereignty ever
the Philippine Islands, where It remained
unbroken until l&SS. Between 1513 and
1521 Cortez had acquired Mexico n- a
Spanish possession. In 1524 Verrazano,
&n Italian in the service of France, had
voyaged along the Atlantic Coast from
Carolina to Nova Scotia.
Jacques Cartier.
How much of all this was known to
Jacques Cartier cannot now be deter
mined, but It seems quite probable that
he had acquired a fairly correct Idea of
the extent and general character of the
Jacques Cartier.
Atlantic Coast. Like other navigators cf
the time, he was under the lmpre on
that America was narrow, and that some
where along It would bs found a pissige
through to the Pacific Ocean. For more
than a quarter of a century Mic Ftonoh
fishermen of Plcardy, Xormandy rnd
Br'ttany had annually made their way
to the Newfoundland banks to pursue
their calling more profitably than Ir-ey
could do at home. To ihis clasp .Tacqves
Cartier belonged, and he murt hucc Tn
acquainted with their geographical Ideas,
acquired either by actual observation or
from the descriptions given to them by
natives with whom they came in contact.
It is not altogether likely that h had
made one or more voyages to the ranf
Atlantlc fishing-grounds himself, as he
had a high reputation for sk:li and cour
age In navgatlon. and was for this very
reason selected to comma rd the exist
ing expeditions. The peninsula of Brit
tany is the extreme wesr po nt of France,
south of the English Channel. Near Its
inner end and on Its north shore I the
seaport of St. Malo. made famous ?s
the startlng-po'nt of Cartler's voyages
between 1534 and 1542.
Cnrtlr VoyaRc.
In April. 1534. Jacques Cartier sailed
from St. Malo with Instructions to find
the passage to "Cathay." Voyaplos in
Klnc Francis I.
the direction long familiar to Breton
fishermen, he reached Belle Isle, on the
north shore of Newfoundland, the only
notable ine'dent of the trip o far being
a meeting In one of the harbors of Lab
rador with a fishing vessel from La Ro
chelle. Cartier passed southward along
the west coast of Newfoundland, crossed
the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the ast
coast of New Brunswick, visited the Bay
of Chaleur and the Peninsula of Gaspe,
ond. after skirting part of Anticoste
Island, returned to France without being
aware, apparently, of the existence of
the great river across the mouth of which
he had sailed. He took with him from
Gaspe two Indian youths belonging- to
the Huron nation, and he seems to havo
met with a hearty welcome from such
of the Algonkins as he met on the Bay
of Chaleur.
In July. 1533. with a fleet of three ves
sels, he again reached the Strait of Belle
Isle, and, passing to the north of
Anticoste. sailed up the mighty St.
Lawrence, to which ho pave its historic
name, "When he reached the site now
occupied by the City of Quebec he found

dkuis to their people secured for him
a most friendly reception, and he pre
pared to go Into Winter quartern in the
mouth of the St. Charles River. After a
cursory exploration of the locality, in
cluding the Isle of Orleans, he "deter
mined, in spite of the objections made by
the Stadacona Indians, to pay a visit to
Hochelaga. The trip up the river con
tmmed a fortnight of time, but the ap

tained about 50 houses, each of which,
about 103 feet long, was divided Into sev
eral compartments for the accommoda
tion of as many separate families.
These Indians had apparently abandored
the nomadic life and had acquired the
art of storing up grain and preservirg
other provisions for future use. Th
flne eminence behind the city, which now
covers the site of the Hochelaga village,
was named by Cartier "Mount Royal."
since abbreviated Into "Montreal."
The "Winter spent by Cartier and his
men in their fortified quarters at the
mouth of the St. Charles was long,
dreary and severe. Scurvy, the bane of
northern voyagt-rs In the Winter season,
when flesh is almost the only available
food, carried off many members of the
company before they learned to use an
Infusion of spruce boughs as an antidote.
In the Spring they abandoned one of
their smaller vessels, -and taking with
them the Huron chief, Donnaconna. and
same other prominent members of the
tribe, as captives, they sailed for France,
arriving at St. Malo about the middle of
July. 152C On the return voyage Car
tier took a course to the south of New
foundland, thus showing his familiarity
with the geography of the region about
the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The country
which he had discovered In the valley
of the river has ever since been known

as "Canada." Though the origin of the
word Is not free f-om obscurity. It seems
to be of the Huron-Ircquols dialect, aad
to signify such a collection of Indian
dwellings as Cartier found at Stadacona.
and. In -a still more typical form, nt
Hochelaga. In -Cartler's time the name
was limited to a small locality, but It
was oon applied to the whole country
by thosxs who never knew or ceased to
regard Its original meaning. Needles
to say, the discoverer claimed the coun
try for the King of France, and set up
evidences of the claim at various points
in the form of large wooden crosses with
suitable Inscriptions engraved on them.
FIrit French Colony.
For some years after Cartler's return
to France, the King, Francis I, was too
much preoccupied with European polltlrs
to continue the work of exploring his pos
sessions In the New World. In 1541.
however, an expedition was planned for
the establishment of a colony. Robcrval
was appointed Viceroy of the country,
and ho and Cartier were commissioned
to proceed together to the St. Lawrence.
For some reason the former was not
ready in time, and Cartier made his third
voyage alone. As the Indian chiefs had
all died during the Interval in France, his
reception was not so friendly as before,
but he nevertheless went Into Winter
quarters In a fortified camp at Cape Rouge,
some even miles up the river from Que
bec He first paid another visit to
Hochelaga. but on finding his progress
westward barred by the La chine Rapid,
he abandoned all idea of trying to pene
trate farther into the Interior. In the
Spring of 1T42 he returned to France, and
Roberval arrived In the St. Lawrence,
where he remained until the Autumn of
1543. spending much of his time In ex
ploring the Saguenay and other physical
features of the surrounding country.
There Is a tradition, but no authen Ic rec
ord, that Cartier made a fourth voyage to
Canada for the purpose of bringing back
Roberval and his men He is ssld to
have lived at St. Malo till 1577. in a house
the ruins of which are tClK pointed out to
the Inquiring visitor. A few years ago
n fine monument was erected ta his mern
ory on the bank of the great river whose
existence he was the first to stah known
to the world. .
Owing mainly to the political and mili
tary troubles which darkened French
hirtory during tho remainder of the cen

PORTLAND. Or.. June IS. (To the Ed-
itor.) Under the caption "A Gorp'l
Prodigy," there appeared an editorial in
today's Oregonian, which I think is an
unfair presentation of the "boy preach
er," Jack Cooke. I do not wonder, how
ever, that many are skeptical, for I my
self felt so when I first heard of the toy,
and It was not until I had made a thor
ough invcst'gatlon that I decided to Invl e
him to Portland to hold meetings with
the Second Baptist Church.
j "When such men ao Rev. J. Lewis Smith,
D. D., of Tacoma, and Rev. Joseph Sma.e
' and Dr. Frost, of Los Angeles, all spoke
' In tho highest terras of the boy prcacner,
I felt perfectly safe In ask ng him to
' visit our city. Your etatement that
"there Is nothing wonderful in what he
says, his discourse being along lines
! worn by the tongues of ages and con
sisting of platitudes that any one with
quick abilities in this direction, couid
readily commit to memory." is a mis
take. It is wonderful that a boy 13 years ot
age can have a text given him by the
j audience, night after night, often fcr
J 30 days at a stretch, and get up imme
( diately and preach a sermon that will
hold the attention of thousands of peo-
fiu iim ii jul win iissjjire inuuiiuues Oi
men and women with the determination
to live better lives. It is wonderful that
h!s answers to questions are usually
given with great ability, showing to"
"thoughtful people" that tho boy has a
knowledge of the "deep things of God."
It Is wonderful that a lad of 13 years
of age, uses good grammar. Is always
fluent and often eloquent, appeals not
to the emotions, but to the reason, is
strikingly original In manner and mat
ter; his clear, glowing thoughts rushing
on toward eternity, as the rivers flow
to the sea. It Is wonderful that not only
the common people, but graduates
of the highest colleges and uni
versities listen with delight and prof
it to the wisdom which drops as honey
from the lips of this boy. It Is wonder
ful that hundreds of people who are
"thoughtful and Intelligent," under his
preaching "get religion in the twinkling
of an eye." that is, there comes the rrj
preme moment in their lives when they
decide the cissal questln of their
coul's solvation, and when they Intelli
gently and whole-heartedly surrender
their hearts and lives to the "king of
kings and lord of lords." And because
"there Is yet in this community and, In
deed. In every community, a considerable
number of people who view the possible
penalties of an after life with a ner
vous dread," is a fact for which we
should be profoundly grateful to almighty
God: for It demonstrates that the human
conscience Is not yet dead. It saves the
world from being swept by the fire of
fury or deluged in a sea of blood. Jesus
Christ said, "far not them that kill
the body, but rather fear him who hath
power to destroy both soul and body in
hell." Would It not be well for us to
bid Godspeed to all who are trying to
make the world better? And unite our
forces as warriors of the Lord flchtlng
back the diabolical armies of the liquor
traffic, the gambling hells ard the friends
of a horrible lust? RAY PALMER.
The Democracy and Trust.
Baltimore American.
Just now the Democrats are loud In
pretending that they will demolish all
trusts. Of course, they have no Idea
of doing It- Their promises are alto
gether insincere. It has been only a
short time since the head of one of tho
most obnorlous trusts In the country tes
tified before a Congressional committee
that he gave to both parties with equal
generosity for campaign funds, and it
was at that time that the Democratic
party. ..Including Mr. Cleveland himself
and his Secretarv of the Treanirr t
. hlblted strange weakntrs for this" same
trust, tho Republican party believes In
putting an end to the evils of trusts if
it bus to resort to most drastic measures,
and. as it has never yet failed in achiev
ing a purpose In a legal way. It can be
relied upon. The Democratic party is

She Left France.
The French bark Mareciial VilHrrs,
which w.l. leave up the river rn tow of
tne steamer R. R. Thompson today, is
now on the last lap of one of the long
est voyages that has been made betw-c i
Europe and Portland for several years,
'z'he vessel was 311 days out from net
palling port when her anchor dropped
In Astoria Harbor last Saturday. Th's
remarkably long Journey may hav2 been
painful for the owners of the inlp, but
It was pleasing for the Portland fi:m who
chartered her nearly a "year ago at a
late several thousand dollars under what
the vessel would now command. The
Marecnal' VUHers is one of ;he newly
built tanKs wh.ch the patriotic French
men use tor extracting money from me
government treasury, and when she was.
turned out of the yards at Nantes about
a year ago she was ballasted and sent
down to St. Naralrc for orders. The
owners meanwhile figure out the longest
Journey they cou.d find for the vessel,
and still keep her In the civilized world.
In oroer to draw the largest possible sub
sidy. Portland was about 16.CO0 miles amy,
so the Marechal Vllllcrs was pointed in
this direction. The Frenchmen were a'l
so busy shouting "Conspuer Dreyfus!"
etc.. when they framed the subslay bill
that they made no provision for a vcstel
carrying cargo In order to entitle her to
a subsidy. However, soon after the
Marechal Vllllers had blo.vn hull-down
oil the land, an enterprising i3rltlta ship
broker cabied over to the owners and
told that he would give them something
better than the bounty If they wou'd
ca ry a cargo of wheat back from Pert
land to Europe. They accepted the offer
of 33s Sd per ton for January leading at
Portland. This was considered a fc gh
rate at that period fcr a ship that was
five or six months away, but by tne tlve
the Marechal Vlll.ers had worked her
way down Into the South Atlantic, raieo
had moved up a peg. Off the coasz of
Brazil a hurricane slammed her around
until some of her masts went by the
beard, and she emerged from the grasp
ot the elements looking very nucn like J
Trtck. In this disabled coidltion she
limped Into Motevldco for rcpiirs about
three months after leaving Si. Naza're.
The Montevldeans are not very swift
workmen, and when the year ls&3 drlftod
off the calendar, they were iititl putt'i
In time on the Marechal Villlers, ar.i the
ship was farther away from January
loading In Portland than she was when
she left France. Meanwhile lrelghts
were booming, and when finally the
bounty-earner resumed her Journey, she
wns worth about J30CO more to the Port
landers than when they first agreed to
take her. Her gain in value to the
charterers waa more rapid after she left
Montevideo, and eve-y day of the pas
sage added about 150 to their profits,
and when her anchor drops In Portland
Harbor tomorrow she will show a clear
profit on the advance in freights alone
of over $7000.
LXJCIC OF THE ALPHA.
Skipper of the First Nome Stcnmer
Won a Man of Nerve.
The remarkable experience of the
steamer Alpha In the fields of ice In the
far North recalls the conversation be
tween the late Captain Tom Powers, of
the Eliza Anderson, and Captain Tuttle.
of the revenue service. When the Eliza
Andereon drifted into Dutch Harbor a
couple of years ago, almost a tltal wreck,
and with about 200 passengers, who for
days had been nearer death than they
will ever be again until they answer the
last call. Captain Tuttle was on the
wharf. "Well, Captain Powers," said hs,
"you are a very lucky man." The re
doubtable Tom removed a cigarette from
his mouth and answered: "Luck be d d!
It was a miracle." In this respect there
Is quite a similarity between the case of
the Alpha and the Eliza Anderson; for,
while the Alpha was a stanch steamer,
she would have been crushed like an egg
shell had she ever been caught between
the vast fields of Ice.
Her owners showed pretty good Judg
ment In their selection of a man of nerve
to take the vessel through such a voyage.
Captain Buchoitz Is a young man. but
this Is not 'he first time that he has
displayed remarkable nerve In the water.-?
of the far North. Back In 1892 he was
master of the Canadian sealing schooner
Sea Lion, which was seized at Sand
Point, Alaska, by the American Govern
ment officials. The Sea Lion had been
In a fearful storm off Atu, where she had
lost all of her boats, had her water casks
stove In. and was generally demoralized.
Under such circumstances, Buchoitz de
cided to go in and beach for repairs, but
before taking the schooner in, rowed
ashore and received the assurance of the
Collector that he would not be seized.
While he was on the beach, the Collector
received word from Sitka to seize the
vessel, and she was taken In charge by
a Deputy Marshal.
One dark night, during a fearful storm,
Buchoitz slipped the anchors and started
out for the open sea. Before leaving he
gave the Deputy Marshal the alternative
cf going to Victoria with him or paddling
ashore In a small boat. The deputy ac
cepted the latter, and the Sea L'on van
ished In the night, and long before day
light was far out of sight of land. A
revenue cutter which came in a. day cr
two later was started after the runiwuy
sealer, but failed to catch her. and Cap
tain Buchoitz never took In a .-.tltch of
canvas until he was safe in Victoria
Harbor.

THE NINTH MISSOURI.
Chnxnp Clark's District Has Large
Families and Intense Democracy.
Theodore Drelsler In AinBlet's.
"One still finds family life operating al
most upon a patriarchal basis In Champ
Clark's district. It is a region of large
families, as well es of large convictions.
The father who has nine stalwart eons Is
not a rarity.
" 'I Just met Brother Weemans over
here.' said Congressman Clark, while can
vassing Gasconade County In 1S5C. It
was during one of those long buggy rides
over rough roads from one small town
to another, and all sorts of topics were
seized upon to relieve the tedium. 'He's
got nine strapping boys and had 'cm all
there to shake hands with me. Said he
wlsht he had nine girls, so he could make
'em all marry Democrats, who would vote
for me also. Good old man, Weemans Is.'
"There are families much larger and just
as loyal. They live and propagate In one
region, and finally become exceedingly
numerous, and of one name. There Is a
family of Tates In Montgomery County,
70 or more strong, all Jiving In one neigh
borhood, and all Democrats. A family of
Homans In another section of the district
Is equally numerous, and equally Demo
cratic Family feeling does not end with
one household. It extends to the homes
of every son and daughter, and to the
homes of their children and their chil
dren's children, in turn. Speak of the
Swart family out there, and you are
thought to be referring to several ecorcs
pf Swarts, scattered all over the district.
Family reunions are common, and em
brace such multitudes that camolng out
Is resorted to, and a picnic indulged In.
while they last.
"Among the members of families blood
feeling Is strong. They concern them
selves with one another, not so much to
praise as to regulate. You must be In
dustrious and energetic: your children
must be well trained and sent to school.
Your wife must know how to cook and
keep a good home. They gently advise
to this end constantly. It Is taken for
granted that this Is the Ideal o all. Whole
fam'lles ride together for miles over rough,
almost impassable roads, to get together
and discuss these things. Christmas and
Fourth of July are times when principles
are thrashed over and party spirit unifies.
"Champ Clark has little. If any. blood
kin. as the word Is there, but a vast num
ber of political and social friends, who
are close as blood could make them. Most
of the Democrats of the nine counties
claim a speaking acquaintance with him.
Most of them have entertained him at one
time or another. He has stopped at their
gates, dined at their tables, slept for a
night In their best spare bedrooms. He
has talked politics with the fathers, en
couraged and strengthened the political
views of the sore.
"Among his chief adherents you find
men who have sacrificed not only time
and labor, but hard-earned money. In the
