La Salle sgreed to mcdify his plans of building a fort on the lower Niaagâ€" ara and a large warehouse, protected by a stochede was determined in its stgad. The opposition of the Senecas to the establishment of a military force on the Niagara was well foundâ€" ed, for the location was the key to the four great laxes above the falls, and whoever lbeld it could control the fur tradoe f the vast territory beâ€" yond. was on L‘le Zflth Of Janllaryr 1679’ and the little company, under Hennepin, were greatly chsered to hear the voice of their cammander, who was in very truth the ‘heart and soul of the expedition. The men had been busy erecting the warm cabins, cutâ€" ting ship timber, and â€"preparing ground ?‘or the building of the vessel, and were only waiting for more ~orkmen to begin the operations of shipbuilding. A few days after his arrival La Saile directed the laying of the keel of Le Griffon, which was the first wooden vessel under sail to voyage Laxzes Erie, Huron and Michiâ€" gan. He, himself grove the first bolt, and in everr way gave encourageâ€" ment to his men. The settlement was continually thronged with Indians curious to see all that was going on, and while some were friendly, many showed their disapproval o fthe shipbuilding, and hindered the work in every way they corld without causing ‘an actual outbreak,. The situation became so serious that La Salle deemed it necâ€" essary to ez‘ a councli . When the chiefs of the neigkhboring tribes had assembled and smoked the pipe of peace, La Salle aldressed them in convincing and honest words: "i come to you as a friend and broâ€" ther. I wish to buy your fure, and I wili pay you for them in guns and powder, knives, hatchets, kettles, bseads, and such other articles as you want. Thus you can do me good, and I will do you good. We can be brothâ€" ers. I am building a boat that I may visit other tribes, purchasing their furs and carry to them our goods. Lot us smoke the pipe of prace and shake hands. The Grsat S irit will ba pleased to see us. His children love one another. I wish to establish a trading nost here where I can colâ€" La Salle now beolieved he had won the conlidence and good will of the warlike Jroquois; but the clouds of raiisfortun» still hung over his prosâ€" pects, and cast a gloom upon. the fuâ€" ture that would have digheartened any man of less ardent temeprament and resolute spirit. It was not the suspicious temper of the Indians witkh which alone he bad to contend. His men, who all along had seemed to bave little interest,.in the enterâ€" Lrise, becams discontented with their lot and it was with Gifficulty that they were keld to their tasks,. The rardships and dangers of the fronâ€" tier life and the difficulties under which they labored in shipbuilding were alon» enough to discourage them, had they not been tampered with as well by the ernemies of La Salle.s The unrestricted rights of traffic with the Indiang amounting to a monopoly of the fur trade, the many advantages whicna the grants Of the king gave him, and the large scale of his cperations, excited the enmity 6fâ€"others dealing in furs, and the merchants of Canada, and they endeavored to thwart his plans. To effect this end they sent secret agents out.in the guise of workmen to everyséttlement to sow seeds of discord ani which they hoped would lead to mutiny and open revolt. They also .sent men.among the savages to arouse iheir jealousy by representing that La Salle‘s plan of building forts a trading post here where I can colâ€" lect my furs and where you can come to sell them. And here you will find mechanics wko will wmerd your guns, knives and hoettlese when they get out of order. All smoked the pips of peace and After resting a few days and â€"reâ€" freshing themselves, La Salle and his band of sturay followers climbed to the top 02 the steep acclivity dragging the heavy equipment after them. It was now midwinter, the weather was intensely cold and the snow deep, renGering travel with burden extreme ly difficult. They struggled on in sinâ€" gle file, ani coming to the falls they gazed with amazement on the : view spread »»fore them. Pressing on ward they soon reached the large log cabin in the midst of the dense furest,.

The work of constructing the vesâ€" sel progressed slowly, for the timâ€" bers were green and wet, their tools were of the crudest kind, and the win try jblasts hindered the operations. The craft was to be of about sixty tons burden, as we shculd figure its capacity loday, and its design followâ€" ed closaly the prevailing type of the period in which the explorers had crosseq the Atlantic f:rom France to the New Worid. Leaving the buildâ€" irg operationâ€" and his affairs in the hands of FJonty, La Salle returned to Frontenac, for matters at the fort Gemanded hig attention,. The mainâ€" tenance of the fort and the expenses of the expedition had to be borne enâ€" tirely by himself, and the profit deâ€" rived from his trade with the Indians furnished the necessary funds. Stopâ€" jing a few days near the mouth of !tho Niagara, he began the construcâ€" tion of the warenouse and permanâ€" _ent settlement to be enmclosed by a stockade. The work progressed durâ€" ing the winter ‘and became the base of sunpliecs fur the frontier portage aâ€" round the falls. ard vessels on the borders of their domains was intended only to comâ€" mand their trade by dictating the terms ana curbing their power. La Salle was on his guard against these artifices, and they did not deter him from pursuing his purpose of pushâ€" ing forward With all speed to the was simply n exchange of commodiâ€" ties. A porr Indian would bring in rich furs, to khim scarcely of any valâ€" ue, but worth perhaps ten dollars in London or Paris. He would receive in exhange a strong, keenâ€"edged knife «orth in London or Paris about half a dollar, but to him worth ten times the furs Hig joy was great as he showed the keen cutting knives which shaved dowr the bows and arâ€" fows so smoothly in contrast to the laporious use of hard stones. magine the delight with which â€" an Indian woman, for the first time in her life, hung a stout iron kettl2 over her cabâ€" in fire. { The folloving table taken from the "Voyage of Capt. Richard Lode" gives a clear insight into the terms upon which exchanges were made with the Iudjans, Beaver skins were the standarq currency employed in trade, and values were baseq on them,. The indians gave in exchaunge for: 1 gumâ€"10 beaver skins. % pound of powderâ€"1 beaver skin. 1 pounds of shotâ€" 1 beaver skin. 1 axeâ€"â€"1 keaver skin. 6 knivesâ€"1 beaver skin, 1 po‘und of glass beadsâ€"1 beaver round the falls. Setting forth resolutely for the iong journey of more than two hunâ€" dred miles through the country of the Iroguois, La Salle was accompanied by only two men and a dog which dragged the baggage over the ice ‘and snow. A sack of parched corn was the extent of the provisions, for they depended much on the game which atounded in the native forest. Upon arriving at Frontenac, La Salle ‘at once laid plans and prepared for an cxtension of his trade in the Northâ€" west. As coon as the ice kad broken up along the shores of the lake he despatched fifteem men in canoes, ladâ€" den with supplies â€" and merchandise for the exchange of furs, to the tradâ€" ing posts alon gthe upper Huron and Michigan shores. These men were provided with every article of trade with the Indians, and in the. collecâ€" tion of a large quantity of furs, La Salle hoped to place his financial afâ€" fairs beyond any misfortune which might overtake him, His trading opâ€" erationgs were on a large scale, and hnad bhe contented himself with buildâ€" ing up the valuable seigniory of Fronâ€" tspac, thus leaving the exploration of the Northwest to the missionaries he could easily have controlled the fur tradse of the interior,. The proâ€" fits of the fur trade were lage, and it skins skin Last year a number of improveâ€" ments were made to the grounds, among them being new stables for the horses and new wire fence around the track, and a number more are contemplated for the coming coming year. It is quite likely the old ticket office at the main entrance will be moved to the south end entrance at the H. G. & B. station and a larger and more roomy one built at the main entrance. 8.
