It had so happened that on the day on which Frontenac's second council was.so amicably held, Pere Marquette and Louis Joliet, had arrived at Que- bec with the news, long expected by La Salle, that they had forestalled him ii his long and laborious search for the mysterious Mississi (Continued from yesterday.) The Holding of Fort Frontenac | As Count Frontenac surrounded by | the officers of his guard, retraced his | - | former course down the great river of | Hochelaga, with much greater ease of mind and body than his journey up the | river had permitted him, he could not [ but feel good reason for thankfulness to God, in' the remarkable "success | which had, in so short a period, crown- 2d his public-spirited enterprise with {such complete and remarkable suc- cess. He had made the long and ar- duous journey in safety, carried out his plans, not only for the confirma- tion of peace with a long-dreaded ene- my, but also for the erection of a fort- ress much needed, as, he believed, for the security and prosperity of the peo- ple he governed, as well as for the honour of France. And he had tra- velled these long leagues of distance, and passed through perils seen and unseen, without the loss of a single canoe, or harm to any of his men-- or to the "children" of his vice-royal- ty, whose good he doubtless sincerely desired. For Frontenac, though bearing a reputation for haughtiness, carried a true, human heart under his vice-re- gal trappings, a heart that beat in a brotherly sympathy for the poor un- tutored denizens of the wilderness, so exposed to imposition and deception, yet so responsive, as he had found them--to the note of real kindness and generous treatment, which had won {them for the time at least, to take in the duties of human brotherhood. He had gained from the Iroquois the concessions he had sought, and wrote to Calbert that "he might boast of having impressed them at once with respect, fear and good will," and that by means of the new fort, with a vessel already begun, and another fort | which he hoped to build at the mouth of the Niagara, the French would command the Upper Lakes, always an essential point for the mastery of Canada. And all this work had been done in so short a time, and without loss of life or property, and owing to the aid he had enlisted from his friends at a cost of about ten thousand liares advanced by himself on behalf of the| King. ment to his long cherished hopes of being its discoverer. But he was not such an egoist as to let this personal disappointment deter him from a vig- orous following up of the important fact, and in order to carry out the far reaching projects that filled his ima- gination, such a base as Fort Fronte- nac, "the new depot with defences" could supply, was absolutely essential. For the task he had thus set himself, La Salle seemed exceptionally fitted. Brave, chivalrous, enthusiastic, persist- ent, endowed with indomitable resolu- tions and inexhaustible endurance. with a strong constitution, mental and physical, it had becor sion to explore the great unknown re- gions of the vast continent, taking pos- session of thém, after the manner of explorers, in the name of the King of France. His early wanderings to north and west had forced him to give up his original hope of finding a water- way to the west in that direction, and by degreesNe concentrated his plans | on the great unexplored Mississippi; of whose rich and fertile lands he had learned so much from his own obser- | vation and from the reports of wan- to which he was still uncertain whet. her the great river flowed into the and by colonising its banks, to estab- lish the rule of France along its course minor success subordinated. Funds Were Advanced. In order to promote these projects, he sailed for France in the autumn of 1674, with a strong recommendation from Frontenac, and plans too exten- sive to be mastered by a king pre-oc- cupied with his ambitious schemes in Europe, to be much concerned about the acquisition of lands And, however opinions might dif- | known and wild continent thtee thou- fer as to the commercial value of the | sand miles away.

The sums necessary for the fulfilment of these gonditions were readily advanced by his relatives and friends in Paris, including the worthy merchant of the Rue S. Martin, his cousin Francois Plet, who had been one of the first confidants of his ambi- tious plans, previous to his first voy- age to the New World in 1666. (To Be Continued.)

The Montreal Gazette says: Kiung- sion was unanimously favored as the terminal point of the new Welland ship canal at the meeting of the Canadian Marine Association execu - tive and a wire to this effect was de- spatched to the deputy minister of public works in Ottawa. The other two places at various times mentioned as the likely term- inus of the canal, which is scheduled for completion in 1927, were Brock- ville and Prescott, but owing to the fact that to reach them the so-called tortuous channels of the Thousand Islands would have ts be navigated. Kingston was the choice of meet- ing after but little discussion which vas entirely in its favor. ; A formidable point in favor of Kingston was the statement that the government has already made temta- tive plans for making Kingston the terminus of the canal, which involves expenditure of between seventy-five and « hundred million dollars to furnish passage for the large lake vessels.

TOBACCO'S EFFECT TESTED. Medical Men Find That Smoking Aid's Digestion. That smoking may be regarded as {an aid to digestion was indicated by Dr. J. W. Crane in an address deliv- ered recently to a 'Western Universi- ty audience at London, Ont. Dr. Crane said that he had at one time advised his students not to use to- bacco, believing it weakened diges- tion, but tests had shown that the sa- liva of a smoker digested starch bet- ter than that of a non-smoker. Starch is a constituent of many foods. From another point of view Sir James CantMe, the renowned British medical authority, also regards to- bacco as an aid to digestion. "Tobac- co," says Sir James, "has its goed effects in digestion, in lessening the efiects of worry." U. 8. SUFFER LOSS BY TARIFF ON CATTLE 200,000 Head a Year Being Diverted to Great Britain.

Evideatly pthere is reason for President Cos grave's warning, repeated again in Cork yesterday: "We wish to wipe out the bitterness; we wish to for- get and forgive, but we will take no risks." The government's electoral cam- paign is going full blast, and with little interruption, except from those whom Kevin O'Higgins, minister of home affairs, calls "Boyeens and girl- eens, from whom little was heard when the times were tough." The president had a splendid re- ception in Munster's capitai city, where he spoke plainly, as Is his wont, paying tribute to the rebirth of the nation as the Inspiration aad work of Arthur Grifiith and Michael Collins, counselling conservation of the nation's strength, ensaring the foundations are well laid, and warn- ing the people against wild-ca' schemeg and great promises for the defender of the Church, and the in- exorable enemy of the irregular cam- paign. He expressed admiration for face of appalling difficulties, of Preai- dent Cosgrare and his colleagues in establishing the government and In erning, tives, but that ultimately there would be no question of the boundary. God. made, namely, the four seas of Ire land, and he, emphasized that (i: would have to take most effective Steps to bring about the unity so much desired. At Clonmel, Agrien ture Minister Hogan said that the next step after the land bill would be tcwards securing the unity of Ire land. "If you return us at the next elec tion," he added, "we will give yo this undertaking that: the first and, most important plank in our platform will be that form of republicanism which consists in keeping the ma- Jority will of the people inviolate and secure from all its enemies, inside oF outside the state.". ~~ ------ Fitzpatrick to Retire.
