La : CHAMPLAIN DID NOT DISCOVER GEORGIAN BAY, Franciscan Priest Reached Arm of! Lake Huron Nine Days Before the Great Explorer--Champlain Fol- lowed and Visited the Huron In-| dians. T a gathering of Toronto Uni- | versity professors and! others, members of the Madawaska Club, at Go Home Bay, to celebrate the | 300th anniversary of Champlain's voyage of discovery down the waters | lof the Georgian Bay, one of the! speakers, Very Rev. Dean Harris, in| his address, told the story of the dis-| govery of the great bay, which, in| somewhat abbreviated form, is here given: { The three hundredth anniversary | of the landing of Champlain in Can-| ada, celebrated in Quebec City in| [ 1908, revealed to the world a spec- tacle new in our history. With one! accord Great Britain, France, the | United States, apd Canada united in|! doing homage to the great statesman, | navigator, and explorer, and in ex-| tolling his achievements. Rightly, | therefore, havé we assembled here | to-day by the shores of Georgian Bay | to pay tribute to the memory of Samuel Champlain, who, three cen-| turies ago, dared the wilderness and | opened a path for Christianity and | ciyilization through seven hundred | miles of endless forest. | The reading public naturally asso- | ciate the founder of Quebec City with | the éxploitation of the great regions | now included in the Provinces of! Quebec and Ontario, forgetting that! he made a voyage to Mexico in 1599, He was a distinguished faunal na-| turalist in his day. His narrative of | the wealth and prosperity he obsery- | ed in Mexico is in sad contrast to, the condition of that unhappy coun- | try to-day. After his visit to Mexico | be coasted Yucatan and sailed to the Isthmus or Paiama, whlch he crossed | én foot. When he returned to Europe he suggested to the French cartographists that a canal through | the twelve miles which separated the | Chagres River and the ocean was practicable and within the resources of Spain, He was not, however, according to popular belief, the discoverer of | Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. This honor was" reserved for an humble Franciscan priest, Joseph Le Caron. When Champlain returned to Can- ada on April 24, 1615, there sailed | with him four members of the Fran- | eiscan Order, Joseph Le Caron, John | D'olbeau, Denis Jamay, and Pacifique Duplessis, a layman. Father D'olbeau immediately began a mission to the Montagnais of the Sagieuay River region, with whom he passed a win ter of great suffering and affliction. Discovering Georgian Bay. ~~" Tather Le Caron started, in com- pany with a band of 'Hurons and Al- gonquins of the uppér Ottawa, on the ong Yoyags of seven hundred miles to the great lake of the Hurdns. Sail- ing up the St. Lawrence, amid & sil: ence broken only by the splash of the paddle, they entered the Ottawa. They portiged the Caribou and the Golots, skirted. the Allumette is- lands, and at last réached the tribune tary waters of the Mattawan. For forty miles or more they pushed on, Bearing the canoes on their shouls ders, they crossed a seven-mile por< tage, and through an opening in the fcrest Le Caron looked out--first of | white men--upon Lake Nipissing, Skirting its shores they entered French River, whose pléasant current carried them to the "Fresh Water Sea," the great lake of the Hurons, @ few days before Champlain's canoe shot into its waters, For more than } tudus channels of the Georgian Bay. floating on the water, arose a thou sand islands and islets, thickly wood- rank with luxuriant vegetation. ; The gréat Manitoulin loomed afar sailed by Byng Inlet, Polnte-au-Barfl, and Shawsunga Bal; coasted, the picturesque shores of Parry Sound, and, sweeping on past the seven-milé Narrows, Moose Point, and Midland Donaind.

Many Canadian women are serving the Empire in foreigh countries, but few have been called to do their bit in such remote and alien sarround- ings as has Miss Gertrude Nicol, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 'W. L. Nicol, of Vancouver, who, before going to that city in its carly days were resi- dents of Niagara Falls. Miss Nicol is working under the Red Cross banner in Russia, at Alexandrople, a small town in the Caucasus Mountains be- tween Batum and Kars, very close to the Turkish frontier. At the outbreak of the war, Miss Nicol, who bas spent a number of years in study in Europe, was travel- ing in Russia, and was near Tiflis. a:| The diMiculties which at that time were placed in the way of travelers}. were almost insufmountable, and she promptly decided that instead .of making futile endeavours to reach England she would stay where she was and direct her energies toward fitting herself for service, and she at onee entered a hospital in Tiflis, where she tcok a course in nursing. | She is an exceptionally clever lin-| guist, and during her sojourn in the country had been studying the lan. guage in which she had become fairly proficient, 'so that, although her ex- ed them successfilly, a very difficult feat, as anyone who knows anything of the language will understand. : For the past three months Miss Nicol has béen. working under the Russian Red Cross Society and was |. stationed in Tiflis until lately, when she was sent to Alexandrople. Writ- ing of her first impressions there, she ys: ' "'Alexandrople is a queer little place, as much }Mke one of our prairie towns it is possible for an Orien- tal town to be like a Western one. It is situated on a Dlatesy in.dhe maouns t at an altitude of four thousand feet. The population is cothposed al- most entirely of Armenians, but the military element is, of course, Rus- sian. The barracks, which is known as 'Cossacks' Post,' is a short dist- ance from the Sewn. There are thirty-eight. buildings already in use and 'many more to be fitted up. As this is a receiving point we get our patients direct from the- fromt and will have beds for three thou- sand, There are many poor fellows who have mervous and mental trou- bles. Those who are wounded are kept here until they are cured of their physical ills and then" sent off to sanatoria or asylums, and the others are sent on at once to Tiflis in trains especially designed for such cases, "We live in the most primitive fashion, not much better than the sol- diers themselves. The hospital build- ngs are all built of a black, volcanic stoné and are most depressing in ap- pearance. -Qur room, or rather cell, for it has iron bars across the win- dows, contained, when we arrived two beds made of wooden slats an mattresses stuffed with hay, and a wooden bench. : After much effort we succeeded in getting a tin water can and a little wooden pig trough to serve as a wash basin, also a table and a very unsteady lamp.

They are expectéd to arrive to- day, and will include camp beds, few mattresses, a wash stand, and even sheets and pillow cases,"--M. D. in Canadian Courier. Bully for the Women!
