This drawing shows La Salle at the beginning of his most successful expedition. He took the land route between Toronto and Lake Simcoe, known as the Toronto carrying-place, a dis- tance of between 50 and 60 miles, and on through-the lakes to St. Joseph at the foot of From the Imperial Oil Collection ~ rying-place, August 1681. Rene Lake Michigan. During the win- 'ter of 1681-1682 he went down the Illinois, using his canoes as sleds on the river ice. He kept on down the Mississippi and formally took possession of the "country of Louisiana" for France. . x La Salle was a cold, ambitious man with many enemies. Had he not been so restricted by the opposition of his enemies, he may well have carried out his grandiose plans for colonizat- ion of America.

"It will be more like 1,800 in 1969. We will probably exceed 1,000 men before the summer is out. Later, after reaching the 1,800 mark, the fi- gure will- decrease gradually.
