 IP^T^ THE LEEKD OF OHIEFS ISLAlfD. .r •x i^- U s 1 ii Story tf fii4iaB V«lk One of the largest and best known Islands of Lake Temiscamiugue is the Chi^s Island. It is situated a few miles from the head of the lake where three large rivers ponr their muddy waters into the Saking* adding their yearly quota to the already vast deposits of silt, which have made thousands of acres of dry land rise oat of the lake and deep places become shallow. There is nothing in the ap- pearence of Chief's Island that would com- mend it to distinction. It is a mass of rock covered by a small growth of pine, poplar, and iHTch, surround^ by shallow water a narrow channel separating it from the main shore. In the early days of the Lake Temiscamin- gue Colonization Company of Quebec a good deal of interest was centered in this island, owing to the fact that an attempt was being made to induce one named Bonaparte Wyse, a relative of the great Bonaparte, to buy it. Whether their object was to sell something that no one else would buy, to a man who had money enough to pay for it, or whether they thought that a rock-bound island was the most appropriate place for a Bonaparte to reside in, I cannot say, but as a matter of fact, the prospect of Temiscamingue Lake becoming the residence of a distant relative of the great Napoleon caused no little excite- ment at the time. The avowed object of this colonization scheme was to found a "new France," or as an exponent of the society's hopes and aspirations once wrote to the press, when describing the trip of a bishop and several other grandees of the society, up the Ottawa to Temiscamingue, 'Our object is to found a new France, not like the old France, irreligious and iconoclastic, but a Catholic France, one that shall love her church and honor its priests," which in it- self was a very pretty sentiment for subjects of the British Crown, but alas, only a senti- ment, for the exponent himself, when I last heard of him, was lighting his dear church most bitterly, and making it very hot for some of the poor priests whom he was going to honor so much. It is only natural that a society founded on such a platform should be on the look- n at for a suitable monarch to reign over this aew France, and thus it was whispered abroad that Mr. Bonaparte Wyse was the very man to fill the position. He had money. The Panama Canal gave him that, showing thereby that he must be a man of parts, for the world can not boast of many men inade rich by the Panama Canal. He had both, for was not his grandfather the brother of an emperor All he needed then was a palace or fortress suitable for the reigning monarch of Temiscamingue, and what place could be more suitable than "The Chief's Island?" Mr. Wyse lent a willing ear to the prospects held out before him. He was sufficiently human not to oe insensible to the possible pleasures of being a big man in a small, place, and moreover he was anxious to do the same thing by them that the lead- ers of the colonization society wished to do by him namely, make money out of them to so invest the Panama-begotten dollars that they should increase and multiply consequently the little settlement was thrown into a fever of excitement by the announcement that Mr. Bonaparte Wyse was really coming on a visit of inspection to Temiscamingue. The tricolor was very conspicuous, and the little settlement pre- pared itself to do him honor. A steamer was charterea to convey him to "Chief s Island," and a picnic was organized under the auspices of the good sisters of the Convent of Gray Nuns. The steamer would also have been decked with flags, only it tunied out that the captain only possessed Union Jacks, which was a disappointment, but with which they were obliged to con- tent themselves. "Chief's Island" now changed its name, and became "Bonaparte's Island," out of compliment to the illustrious visitor, who was addressed by these simple folk as "Mon Prince," "Mon Seigneur." As the island hove in sight, all exclaimed " How lovely, how picturesque " except, indeed, Mr. Wyse himself, who did not ap- pear so enthusiastically delighted as it was hoped and expected he would be. He questioned its suitability for agricultural pur- poses, and well he might, for there was not J"'Saking," pronounced "Sah-geen." the place in a lake where the nver empties itself into it. land enough on the island to" grow potatoes or his family. However, the picnic was a success there was plenty both to eat and drmk, and when nature's cravings had been satisfied the prospective. Lord of the isle, bjgan to make a closer inspection of his possible purchase. Nature had intended him for such a place, for he was a tall, active man, whose length of leg assisted him con- siderably in getting over the endless boulders which constituted the surface of the island Much us the good people who accompanied iiini wished to Ijask in the sunshine of his presence, they could not aflford to break their legs even for sake of it, so he soon to.ged aiiead and had completed the circuit of the island before they had traveled haif ot it, which was a pity, for they might have pointed out to hiin advantages which he in his hurry had missed. As it was he did not fand laud enough on it to bury himself, and he was anxious to get away. Unfortunate- ly the steamer was obliged to move off to a place some few miles distant in order to wood up, and as the captain considered that Bonaparte ought to be contented on his own island, he did not hasten to return "but kept the ix)or iliv.strious prancing up and down those rocks until he was so mad with weari- ness that I fear he would not have accepted the island as a gift. The Cotenization bociety's officials looked gluin and vision* of the Panama dollars began to fade. At length the steamer returned and took her passengers on board. Nor has Mr Wyse ever set foot on the island since.

It waa aoi Iik«iy loat two rival chiefs could rule over the one band at the same time, any more than that two kings could rule in the same kingdom, or that two popes could ' inteipret the wishes of the divine founder of Christian- ity with equal infallibility at one and the same time, without causing considerable dis- turbances and inconsistencies amongst the people. It was therefore only natural that the Indians of Temiscamingue should be liv- ing in a state of ferment, approaching to anarchy, a state of afhirs that could only be adjusted by settling the vexed question of chieftainship at once and for- aU. Many were the fierce fights which took place between the rival factions fights which resulted cmly in the weakening of both parties and a few additions to the interesting collection of scalps, which it was a point of honor in those days for a warrior to possess. It was hoped that during some of these fights one of the principals, if not both, might be slain and thus brii^ about Ja solution to the difficulty, but vain hopes, for they seemed to be able to take very good care of their persons, and what the one lacked in valor and powers he made up for in cunning and stratagem. What added to the bitterness of the quarrel was the fact that they both loved, in an Indian fashion, the same maiden, and she, so far, like many others of her tribe, fa wiser and older than herself, had been unable to make a choice, the physical su- periority of the one being, in her judgment, pretty evenly balanced by the astuteness of the other. However, though her head had not as yet arrived at a decision, her heart had, as the sequel of the legend will show. The names of the two rival chiefs were Cheymahka and Sheeno respectively, while the name of the undecided maidei 'v-is Maak or "The Loon," on account ot the length of her lovely neck. Though opinion in those days was so evenly divided, judg- ing by the light of history, Cheymahka seems to have been by far the most manly and heroic of the two. He was both physi- cally and by temperament superior to his rival, and so grieved was he to see the in- jurious effects of the dispute amongst his people that he even offered to waive his claim entirely in Sheeno's favor and retire into the obscurity of private life. But this his adherents would not listen to, so at length it was decided to call a council of the nations, a grand pow-wow, and by it to decide the matter once for all. It was on Chiefs Island that the council was held, and each chief was called upon to address the people, showing cause why he should be considered a just claimant for the title of chief. It is a pity that these orations have not been preserved in their entirety however, as near as can be gathered, Chey- mahka addressed the people thus " My children," he said, "as I walked through the woods yesterday I was overtaken by the Geetchie Xodin, the Big Wind, which lashed the trees in wild confusion, so that I feared lest I should be crushed by the flying and falling branches. I noticed, however; that tlie little bushes were wildly and help- lessly tossed about, the small trees even bent nearly double to the earth, while the mighty pines SM-ayed gently to the blast, with motion almost imperceptible. I considered them, the mighty pines, chief of trees, strong and hrm, unbent by the blustering wmd, and I thought that men could take a lesson from what I saw. A chief of men should be like the pines, strong and firm in trouble, yield- ing but slowly to the force of necessity, and even then with dignity, I do not wish to make a boast before you, but I ask you to base your choice on what I witnessed yester- day, while walking through the bush." A murmur of applause met this speech, but Sheeno, catching the eye of the chair- man, begged to supplement the remarks of his learned friend and rival with a few sug- gestions of his own. "I allow," he said, " that strength and durability are requisite qualities in a chief, but I too yesterday was walking through the woods, but it was after Geetchie Nodin had passsd, and I noticed many huge pines, torn up by the roots, lying flat upon the earth, borne down by the mighty wind. They did not yield enough, but thought to standby dmt of their strength the willows, how- ever, which were so much tossed about re- mained where they were, unhurtand unbrok- en. Choose then, oh Indians, between the willow and the pine. I also do not wish to make a boast before you, but I ask you to base your choice on what I witnessed yester- day whde walking through the bush." Again a murmur of applause rose from the assemb ed people, but so ab ' ad each plead- ed for himself, that they Sfc..ned as far off a decision as ever. Some were for the pine and some for the willow, until it appeared that the pow-wow was likely to end in a free fight, wheii up spake an aged Indian, whose words were listened to with respect, and even awe, tor itwas said that he had eaten human flesh. Indians,, he said, "enough blood has been shed on account of this matter. I will tell you a plan by which, if you agree to it, we may yet find a peaceful solution to this vexed question. Our women have never been admitted to our councils, but for all that, who among you that is married ever attempted an important undertaking with- out first consulting his squaw, and who among you dares to act in direct opposition to her opmions when once asked ' Th* see a figure wildly pacing the bare flat rock close to the water's edge. Itwas SbanuK Hisdotiraa were torn off him and he was almost naked. His actions were those of a madman, few he would throw up his arms, exclaiming "I am mad I am nuul Let them tie me or I shall kill them." When the Indians at the main camp at the south end oi the island heard of it, they were frightened and no one dared move out beyond the light of the camp-fires, for nothing awes an Indian like matdness. They have for it the reverence due to the super- atural, and believe that the strange phant- ies of a madnum are real, thou^ visible only to himself. A gloom of apprehension fell upon them all, and many a furtive glance was thrown at the dark line of the bush, as if in expecta- tion of a murderous onslaught by the mad- man. Some even wondered if they had done right in rejecting Sheeno as their chief, for a man, counted to be mad, has strange influ- ence amongst them. This night had been appointed as the wedding night of Cheymah- ka and "The Loon," hence there was a full gathering of the tribe, and preparations for a feast and dance had been made on a large scale. About the time that Cheymahka should have taken his bride, and standing up before all the people acknowleged her to be the wifeof his choice, the long-dreaded catas- trophe came about. Sheeno with a wild shout burst into the ring and cried "Indians! I have seen a Wendigo. I have seen a Wendigo and he spoke to me. He said, 'Sheeno, you are the chief and Maak is your bride.' Oh Indians, dare you disobey the voice of a Wendigo? I see him now, he makes signs to me to kill A Wendigo loves blood and the blood that he is now thirsting "for is the blood of Chey- mahka!" In the meanwhile Chejmiahka was at the extreme end of the encampment, and some ran swiftly to him telling him all that had happened. "Run, Cheymahka!" they said, "and save yourself from the madman I" "Cheymahka is not good to run," an- swered the chief with dignity. " I do not fear Sheeno and his Wendigo for the Geetchie Manitou is greater than a Wen- digo." With which Cheymahka stalked straight to the spot where Sheeuo, with wild ges- tures and loud voice, was still demanding blood for his Wendigo. But when he saw Cheymahka boldly approaching he glided away through the surrounding circle of Indians, for apparently his Wendigo was in no hurry. "You see, Indians," said Chepnahka, "at the first sight of me my enemy He did not finish his speech for a sicken- ing thud and a cry of pain behind him made him turn. He took in the situation at a glance. Sheeno had attempted to strike him with a tomahawk from behind, but Maak, his affianced wife, had anticipated him and thrown her own person between the as- sassin and her lover, receiving the full blow of the tomahawk herself. With a cry ot vengeance Cheymahka dashed after Sheeno who, though startled for a moment by what he had done, for he really loved the "Loon," acting up to the simile of the willow took to his heels and ran for his worthless life. But Cheymahka after all found that he could run, and in a few moments had caught him and held him in his grip as a lynx seizes a rabbit. "Die," he hissed, as he clutched liim by the throat, intending to throttle him on the spot Then suddenly changing his mind ne shouted to the Indians "See I have caught him You shall be his judges " They were all silent, for they feared to injure a mad man under the direct protection of a Wendigo.

T., under date of April 18th: "Most readers are probably aware that dur- ing the past few years there has been a very pronounced movement of Mormons from C^- ada Northwest. The advance guard of these Mormons consisted of Mr. C. O. Card, one of Br^ham Young's sona-in-law, now presi- dent of the Canadian colony, and one or two others. After examining various parts of the Northwest, they finally selected Lee's Creek as most suitable for their purposes. There in the spring of 1887 a few families pitched their tents and whatever of a Mormon pro- blem Canada may have to contend with has commenced. With characteristic industry and enterprise they at once went diligently at work, and although it was June when their crops %ere put in, they obtained a very fair return on the subsequent harvest. By that time, too, substantial log buildings had taken the place of tents and covered wagons, and a visitor could not help being struck with the snug and thrifty appearance of the settlement. In that short summer they had done more work than many other set- tlers who had been in the coimtry for years. The progress of the settlement has been steady and rapid ever since. Fresh arrivals each year have swelled the population of the colony until the original insignificant few have increa,sed to some three hundred souls. The settlement contains a good store and is provided with a church and schoolhouse. ' Last summer a was taken in and among the probabilities of the near future, The Mormons are not the only settlers in that part of the country. There was a very fair Gentile settlement in the vicinity before the advent of the Latter Day Saints. These settlers speak of the Moi-mons in the highest terms as neighbors, and certainly no visitor to their settlement can ever complain of an inhospitable reception. I can speak from experience, as regards this, for I have never met witli a warmer or heartier or more hos- pitable welcome than that received among the Mormons of Lee's Creek.
