CANADA’S DISCOVERER
Canada some time ago honored her discoverer- Jac
ques Cartier, the famous French navigator, by the
erection at Quebec of a magnificent statute, a 11 plica
of that raised to his memory in his native seaport, St.
Malo, France, where he was born in 1494.
Commanding two ships under a commission from
Francis I. of Fiance in 1534, he crossed the Atlantic
touching at Cape Buenavista, Newfoundland, sailed
northward along the coast and then southwest through
the Straits of Belle Isle, discovering the mainland of
Canada and taking possession in the name of his king,
thinking it a part of Asia.
The following year he explored the St. Lawrence as
far as the Indian village of Hochelaga, the present site
of the city of Montreal. After many hardships, with his
crew weakened by scurvy, a disease then unknown in
Europe- he returned to France in 1536.
In 1541 Cartier returned to Canada with five ships
and established a settlement, which he named Charles
bourg-Royal, near the present site of Quebec. The rigor-1
ous climate and attacks of hostile Indians so discouraged
the settlers that Cartier abandoned the place and took
them back to France in 1542. He lived quietly at Sa. Malo
until his death in 1557.
While Cartier did not found a permanent colony,
his explorations blazed the way for the building of a j
great empire—but under another flag.
Now if we had a fairly commodious boat we would
load her down with coal and farm products from Mat
anuska and Fairbanks and take her out to Westward
ports and bring back a cargo of beef and mutton for
Seward and Interior markets.
Excessive tidiness is said to indicate a kind of in
sanity—from which most people around a newspaper
office are immune.
Many public schools seem to be having difficulty
with the seating problem. So are Washington society
folks, judging from Senator Johnson’s difficulty.
Now if they make the buyer equally guilty with
the seller of “bootleg likker” what are we going to use
for jails? The jurors will have to be given the breath
test and even the judge may be disqualified as an inter
ested party.

A large and jovial attendance,
furnished with good music and
intermingled with novel enter- i
tainment, thoroughly enjoyed the !
Armistice Day Ball given by the
Seward American Legion Post in
Odd Fellows Hall last night.
Plenty of mirth and laughter
accompanied the sketches pre
sented at different times thru
out the evening by L. M. Mitchell,
amateur comedian of pleasing
ability. The song and dance num
bers, that the young man ren
dered and his portrayals of Old
Black Joe, and later as the Dark
town Preacher, accorded hearty
applause and encores.
Officers of the Post received j
scores of compliments upon the I
success of the delightful affair.
