Is 250 Years Old (From Munsey'e Magazine.) Canada is celebrating the 25th an nlvesary of the granting of a royal charter to the “Governor and Company of Adventurers Trading Into Hudson’s Bay"—to give its full title to the his toric organization commonly called the Hudson Bay Company. Sir Robot Kin derley, the present governor of the company, whose headquarters are in London, is in Canada for the eelebra , tion. Two two Frenchmen, explorers and traders, named Radisson and Grossell liers, the Hudson Bay Company origi i nally owed its being. The company’s | debt to France was reptid during the ! great war, when Its ships carried sev eral million tons of food to France, in spile' of the fact that they suffered heavy losses from German submarine ] a (tacks. Arrested for Illicit Trading. It was In 1603 that Champlain sailed to Canada, whither the fur trade en ticed explorers; in 1608 he founded Quebec. In 1610 Henry' Hudson dis covered Hudson’s hay. By the middle of that century certain French trad ers, setting out unauthorized from their settlements on the St. Lawrence, had penetrated the unknown northwest and brought back rich booty of furs. In stead of being welcomed they were ar rested by the authorities at Quebec and fined for illicit trading. Disappointed and piqued, Radisson and Groseiliiers turned to the London merchants for backing. A company was formed with Prince Rupert at its head, and in June, 1668, two ships with Radisson and Grosseilllers aboard, stlled down the Thames for Hudson bay. The first settlement, or fort, was built on the shore of James bay, and in the following year one of the two ships, the Nonsuch, sailed back to Lon don loaded with costly furs. In 1670 Charles 11, granted the Hudson Bay charter, still to be seen in the com pany’s board room in Lime street, Lon don. Firzt Cargo of Beaver Skins. The first cargo of beaver skins was brought to London in 1671, and was sold by auction at Garraway’s coffee house. The poet Dryden was there, and wrote of it: “Friend, once ’twas fame that led thee forth To brave the tropic heat, the frozen North. Late it was gold, then beauty was the spur; But now, our gallants venture but for fur.” French rivalry with the Hudson Bay- Company ended with the conquest of Canada in 1670. Early in tht nineteenth century a group of Scottish merchants started a rival concern, the Northwest Company, but their interests were gradually absorbed, and the Hudson Bay people ruled as absolute lords and proprietors of vast lands until 1867, when the transfer of their territory to the Canadian government began. The treasury of the newly ionfederated col onies paid $1,500,000 for the company’s rights in Rupert’s land, which now forms several thriving states of the Do minion. Since then the Hudson Bay Company has grown with the growth of Canada, and it can be proud of its record of 250 years of activity.
