' The Hudson Bay Company is atill the- greatest fur trader in the -world, although it no longer has a monopoly and', about half the fur business ln Canada is now done by Independent traders. Just as Minneapolis Is the greatest primary wheat market ln the , world,, so Is this city of Edmonton the greatest primary fur market - in the world primary in both cases slgnlfy lngvthe market where the actual pro ducer sells to the trader. Testerday three creaking, groaning wagons, piled high 'With odorous skins, rolled Into (Edmonton. They had come ninety . miles overland from Aathabasca river, to 'which canoes and barges from all over 'Arctic Canada had brought last winter's catch. The three wagorfloads that came into Edmonton yesterday werelaken to a great high-roofed ware, house.- There, the furs were sorted. In one pile lay a score of skins of the caroe musk ox, scarce and yet not val uable because of the coarse hair and ineradicable odor. There waa a pile of beaver skms that reached the roof, and hundreds of fox akins. Including half a dosen of the rare black fox. There were two big plica of lynx skins, :fon this la a fat year with thla animal. The? lynx, tha trappers tell you, run In cvclea. . One year out of every seven scarcely any -come to market This they account for i by explaining that the lynx feed on the rabbit, and the . rabbit breeds so fast that nature must make an automatic check by sending one In every seven year an epidemic which leaves but a handful living. ' When the fur were all sorted and lay la pUe about the great warehouse, come the buyers, eight or ten Scotch men of long experience, shrewd men ot business. In dress and manner not at all unlike the men who might gather at a boar meeting of any Boston cor poration. They go about from pile- to pile, stroking tha fan to feel their tex ture and holding them up to the light to -catch their lustre. When each had satisfied his bid for the lot, sealed it and lefttt with the owner. Those three wagonload of fur that, cam In yes terday Wsre sold for $63,000. It repre sented th year' product of perhaps twa hundred individual trappers." The seller did not take his pay in cash. He got steel trapsthese are brought into ( Edmonton In -carload lots warm wool en clothing, powder and shot, sugar and salt and th like. These he took In his wagon back to Athabasca land- ins. where each trapper got his indi vidual share. Thus doe th fur trade go on. The actual trappers.

There, once a year, gather the fur buyers of all the world to make the purchases which supply furs for the aristocracy of St. Petersburg, to line the cloaks of Turkish Beys and Chinese Manda rins. The trade Is an enormously profi table one. In Edmonton there are scores of handsome homes and for tunes that would be envied ln New York possessed by men who began with a hundred dollars' worth of traps and powder and shot to trade with the In dians. The Indian is easy to bargain with. He has no sense of relative values. If he doesn't happen to want a thing, he wouldn't give a snap of his finger for it, not even If it had the Intrinslo valus of a koh-i-noor. And If he does want it. even if It be but the discarded red coat of a mounted po liceman, he must have it, and he will give the last of his possessions for It. In trading with such a race, for those who have learned to know the Indian's likes, there Is obviously much profit. The Indian Is constitutionally Im provident. He cannot grasp why any one should want more property than enough for one more meal. . iThe no tion of a surplus Is as Incomprehensi ble to him as the finer distinctions of the higher criticism. That he haa sur vived at all Is proof that the Hudson's Bay Company ha on the whole dealt kindly with him and exercised a fath erly supervision over his affairs to tide him over years of famine. And yet I should not like to assert that every Indian who ever brought a black fox skin Into Edmonton got full value for It. A black fox akin is the koh-i-noor of the fur trade. A score, perhaps, are brought In each year, and they win small fortunes for their owners. One was aold ln Edmcmton for $l,7:o tha trader who bought It showed me the entry In hi book. . Oddest of all, th fur trad does not fall off. . Statistics are not kept, but they say in Edmonton that the vol ume of fur last year was the greatest In tha city's history. This In spite of the fact that 100,00a settlers a year are taking up the land. The animals must retreat each year further and further into the north, but there Is compensation ln : the fact that the northern woods are safer,' th trapper find it more and more difficult to cover' the ground. '.And so th Hudson'. Bay Company bids fair to go on some cen turies more as a great fur trader, with lm post ecatterttS 6ve McKensle Land,' the 1 Yukon and the ehorea of Hudson's Bay. and some 1.000 employes. , An Eoooomlo AxrangrnenC '' ' Chicago : Journal.
