FSSAY CONTEST made well. Although it is true that the Hudâ€" son‘s Bay Company was against colonization, it is the reason that the Great West belongs as it does to Canada and not to the Neighbors beâ€" low us, as they were very anxious to extend their territories north. When in 1867 the United States purchased Alaska from Russia, and were very willing to buy the West from the Hudson‘s Bay Company, Canada thought that it was ripe time to relieve the Hudson‘s Bay Company of part of their territories and in the year 1868 negotiations were closed between England and the Hudson‘s Bay Company and the title to all their territories, except oneâ€"t‘wentieth, were passed over to the Canadian Governâ€" ment for the sum of Three Hundred Thousand Pounds or equivalent to about $1,500,000. The Doctor Was Gravely " Impressive " Third Prize Entrance Class Pupils FRONTENAC IN NEW FRANCE (By M. MeCormick) Frontenac was the godson of a French king. He had won honors in European â€" Wars. Whenâ€" â€"heâ€"_was fifteen yvears of age he went to the war in Holland to serve under the Prince of Orange. For the next thirteen years he was constantly enâ€" gaged in fighting; he was made colonel at twentyâ€"three and brigadierâ€" general at twentyâ€"six. He married a lady of noble ‘birth and they had takâ€" en their places at the court of the. French king. They were very exâ€" travagant and soon spent their forâ€" tune. Both were highâ€"tempered and haughty, and soon separated. In sixteen hundred and seventyâ€"two Frontenac swas sent to Canada as govâ€" ernor and proved to be the Ibest govâ€" ernor since the time of Champlain. He kept the Iroquois in check and ruled with a firm hand. In trying to regulate the furâ€"trade he quarrelled with the Intendant and other officials and was recalled to France. The people in Eastern Canada thought that this was a reckless exâ€" penditure and for a while it was wholly disapproved of. Thereupon this great tract of land passed into the hands of the Canaâ€" dian Government and the Great Comâ€" pany ceased to be a governing force in Canada, but the Hudson‘s Bay Co.‘s posts are sceattered throughout the north and are still the dominatâ€" ing foree in the fur trade in Canada. Al»so, in many of the western cities of Canada there are numerous departâ€" mental stores, all of which are known for their quality class of merchandise â€"the ‘same as a century ago "when they were known to the Indians as square, and an Indian would never get a bad deal when trading with that reputalble companyâ€"a company that has never been surpassed for long esâ€" tablishment and a good name not only in America, but, it safely may be said in the whole world. Also, to the Hudson‘s Bay Company must go the credit for the exploration of the Northâ€"West, having sent out men like Samuel Hearne and many others. Over two hundred and fifty years old and still going strone! THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONBARIO During his term as governor he aidâ€" ed the explorers and this led to the discovery of the Mississippi river. Trading â€" posts were established at Mackinac and Niagara. However, ie Hudson‘s Bay Company had been started in the Northern part of the country and was taking away the fur trade with the Indians, and so beâ€" came bitter rivals with the Flench traders. Frontenac‘s successors _ could not control the Indians, so that Frontenae although seventy years of age, was sent back as governor. War broke out between England and France. France wanted to keep New France and was planning on a great American Empire, while Engâ€" (Continued from Page 8) Governor and the colony fared land was planning to conquer it. Peace was declared between the two colonies, but the French and English still hated each other, and an English warship held the mouth of the St. Lawrence so that no furs could be taken out of Canada and no supplies brought in.; The French lived in conâ€" stant dread of the Iroquois. Later the Iroquois and English united in a raid on the French. A desperate batâ€" tle was fought in which many lives were lost. These attacks were kept up until sixteen hundred and ninetyâ€" seven when the Treaty of Ryswick brought the war to a close. The next year Frontenac died but will always be remembered as one of the best governors during the French period in Canada. *‘He was the love and deâ€" light of New France; churechmen honâ€" ord him for jhis pity; nobleg esteemed him for his valor; merchants reâ€" spected him for his equity; and the people loved him for his kindness."‘ Third Prize Senior ‘ THE PIONEERS OF NEW ONTARIO (By Doris Jackson) In the year about 1906 New Ontario was not cleared, excepting a few huts here and there. The settlers at last cleared part of New Ontario but in doing so they had many hardships. They would build one hut or home at a time. When a town or village was built the people had to be very careâ€" ful to protect their homes from fire or wild beasts. About 1910 New Onâ€" tario was almost all cleared. When a town was built a large protection was put around, such as great stone walls, ditches full of water, ete. New Ontario is much different,â€"all these houses, stores, churches, shows, etce., were never to be seen then. The people had no other way of travelling, but in canoes and walking. Later on Ontario was a mining place. ‘Cobalt was discovered, and many other mines opened up. Thus making Ontario a mining place. New Ontario now is a great mining place. It has many great buildings where about one hundred years ago it was nothing but bush and hills. Now, ‘our homes have furniture in them, but a long time before they sat on furs of beasts. The men used to fish and hunt for food. They built their houses of trees, covered with hides. The people dressed also in furs ofâ€"animals. They made dishes of clay. But later they found out how to make clothes for themselves. They later had cattle, sheep, etc., and eat, drank and slept just as we do up to this day. Later they also found ways to preotect themselves from danâ€" ger. They sometimes ‘built their houses on hills. Nowadays we have different ways of protection, such as armour, great battleâ€"ships and strong forts. We now also have fine dresses, beaded clothes, a thing which they never had then. We also have locomotives, cars, etc., and they never had them.
