THE DiSCOVERY OP THE NORTH WEST EXPLORATIONS

— By Mrnsignor fred Boucher

Pierre Cauthier de Varennes, sieur de Ia Vrendrye; was a son ofthe governor of Trois—Rivieres Three Rivers and of Marie Boucher,

In May 1731, he left Kistignia with fifty men. This was thefort he had built on the west shore of Lake Superior.

At Rainy Lake he built the Fort St. Pirre. In June 1732 hereached west of The Lake of the Woods, where he built the Port St.Charles. It became the main post on the western route.

La Vfrendrye sent his son Peter, to Lake Aseiniboine to buildFort Maurepas i 1734 at the mouth of Lake Winnipeg. This was 500miles from our starting point.

R. Father Aulneau 5.3., took the place of R. Father Charles N.Hesaiger S..!., at Fort St. Charles.

A few miles away from Fort St. Charles, the R. Father Aulneau,J.B. De la Vrendrye son of the discoverer and twenty—nine Canadianswere surprised and maseacered by the Sioux in 1736 at Massacered Isle.

Le Fort Red was built in 1738 at the Forks betweer the RedRiver and the Assiniboine where Winnipeg was named.

Fort La Reine — Portage La Prairie towards the west was laterbuilt as a second base for these discoverers of our Canadian West.

The territory of Manitoba now became a possession of France.

Leaving Fort L Reine in October 1738, the explorer went by thehouse River to Dakota, De La Vrendryes sons Pierre and Francoisleft Portage Ia Prairie April 9th 1742. They followed their father’sfootsteps to the Missouri and many weeks later arrived to the RockyMountains in Hontna.

The explorers trave].led along the mountains towards the northto reach th. principal branch of the Missouri in March 1743.

Their dream for the future was to reach the prairies by followingthe course of the Saskatchewan River or “Paskoyac.” They built a fortthey named “Paskoyac” a few miles from the junction on the banks ofthe south branch of the Saskatchewan River. This was the last exploitmade by these hard working explorers.

Boucher de Niverville continued this work of exploring. He wassick while at “Paskoyac”.

I.e chevalier de la Carrie restored the Fort and gave it his neof Fort La Come, it is situated at about thirty miles from St. Louis.

Ten of Boucher de Niverville’. men travelled up the South branchof the Saskatchewan River and its tributary the Bow River, after a voyageof about six hundred miles. They were to fai the Rocky 1$ouatains in1751. They built the Fort La Jonquire where the City of Calgary is today,1751.

The Chevalier de la Carrie made the first tries at cultivating on a largescale in the Carrot River valley.

The Chevalier de la Carrie and The Coureurs de Bois were czl1ed toQuebec to defend Canada attacked from all sides in 1755.

The Canadian West was never again to see the 3 colors of the flagof France afloating on its Trading posts awaving on its boats. The BudacuBay Company and The North West Company were two rival companies with Furtrading posts from Winnipeg to the Rockies.

The Hidon Bay Company was from England. Its personnel was fromGreat Britain with a few recruits from Quebec.

The North West Company was from Quebec with French recruits exclusivelyemployed.

Arriving at the Red River these young men were married to metis orto Indian girls who were descendants of the Cree and Assiniboine Tribes.The Chipeyans lived further north.

Employed for the North West Company were Alexis L’eep6rance from SorelP.Q., J.B. Bouchefrom Boucherville, Joseph Hoque from Montreal, PierreBoyer from the Chaudiere River, PQ., Jean Baptiste Boucher married MarieGamneau a daughter of Louis Gamneau who was also employed for theNorth West Company in March 1790. All were members on the “York boats,”barges. William Brenuier was married to Margaret McMullen, both came from Scotlandwith the Lord Selkirk colony. It was in 1812 that Lord Selkirk came tocolonise at the Red River with one hundred strong habitants from theScottish Highlandw. They landed at York factory where Lord Selkirkhad obtained a large concession of land from the Hudson Bay Company andassumed he owned the imense North West territory. The North Westcompany took a bad view of these intruding colonists.

.. .3

Governor Sample of the Hudson Bay Company took over the FortGibraltar and of the Fort Pembin at which belonged to the North WestCompany.

In 1816 the North West Company attacked Fort Douglas, Governor Sampleand 21 of his men were killed. Antagonism dwelt among these rivalcompanies. This caused trouble to those who were selling furs, Therival companies agreed only on one point, which was to exploit those whowere selling them furs.

In 1870k the buffalo was the princip source of life on theplaines, Meat for Food and hides were sold to the fur companies.

The buffalo hunters were known as People of the prairies as thebuffalo roamed the prairies for food all sier long.

There was no buffalo hunting during the winter months. A favorableplace had to be found for the construction of houses to winter in.These were built with trunks of trees squared and placed one on theother. The roofing was of meadow grass and mud. A rendezvous was afew miles from Batoche for the People of the prairies ir!ntcrs.

Rev. Father 1ulin came in 1870 from Isle a la Crosse to jointhese people. Rev. Father Andr 0.11.1. later came to take charge andfollowed the hunters with the buffalo hunt and taught catechism and helpedthese brave people to follow their religion.

The Rendezvous was abandoned in 1874. Father Andre organisedand constructed a new mission. The site was not far from the BuffaloPit at St. Laurent and not far from the two forts built in 1804 by theHudson Bay Company and the North West Company these two rivals of fursin the west.

The church at St. Laurent measured thirty feet in length. Sixtypeople could attend mass. Few were the pictures and ornaments. Itwas also built with logs whitewashed and covered with (hay) sod.

Rev. Father Vital Fourmont was the new miasionary to arriveJune 6th 1875, to help Father Andre.

Douglas Stobart helped Father Andre start the mission at DuckLake in June 1876.

Five miles from St. Laurent the Hudson Bay Co. had the Fort named“South Branch House”, on the south banks of the river. The North WestCompany had their fort on the north banks.

Later these two companies established themselves on the southbranch of the Saskatchewan river to keep on with the fur trading.There they were at the Cros—Ventres Forks with the Indian tribe namedCros-Ventrea.

The fort of the North West Company was attacked on themorning of June 24th 1794 by a hundred of these Gros Ventreeuarriors.

An interpreter named Jacques Raphail had informed the four Canadiansand the five crees to defend themselves bravely at the fort.

The chief of the Gros’. Ventres was in coersand. Jacques Raphaelshot and killed him. Ris death was a signal for a fast retreat.The Indians carried home their dead warriors and some were wounded.Lamentations and cries of vengeance were hiard. They now went to theHudson Bay Company fort. Two employees took them as friends and wereto welcome them. A few instants later they were killed and scalped.There were two men, three women and a few children left in the fort.They were surprised, barricaded their door and hid. The Indians werein the fort without resistance and killed a man, a woman and two children. They took two young men as their prisoners. There wan aman saved by the enemy as he had been hiding in an old cellar.The Indians never found him. They massacred the fort and burnt itbefore leaving it.

Charles Vaudreuil got in a canoe and went down the current andarrived at York Factory August the 11th. Two days after the massacreLouis Chatelain who was in charge of the North West Company fortloaded canoes with merchandise and nnt down the river with all hispersonnel to build a new palissade at Nipawin. The two rivalcompanies built new posts again ten years later, in 1804 at St. Laurentknown now a a lot 17.

After 1810 these forts on the south Saskatchewan River disappearedforever. Two larger posts were built close to Lac Vert. ForttLa Wnt” was the most important one. No less than seventy menserved there with about sizty women and children. About seven hundredpounds of meat was needed daily to feed these people.

Canton house was the Hudson Bay Company post, with a personnelof ten persons without counting women and children. It was a stoppingplace for travellers. A lot of buffalo meat was stored here,alsotallow, pemican, leather, buffalo hides all, well needed provisions.The for °La Mont’ disappeared after the treaty had been signed atCanton House when the Hudson Bay Ccpany took over on Decber 5th1821.

PUSEING WESTWARD

The troubles of 1870 at the Red River had left a malaise betweenthe french and the english speaking people. Roger Goulet had beenmurdered followed by many regrettable events. This was the beginningof a new era. The buffalo now had disappeared from the plains.

The train was to come west of Winnipeg. People were to starta new life westward. Every year the crop. were put in late due tothe floods as the Aesiniboine River overflowed its banka. Therewere no machinery in 1882 to dig ditches, no way could the high waterhe checked as the snow melted.

Many families decided to leave their homes on the banks of the Assini—boine to go west.

These people knew where they were going. They had hauledmerchandise by- ox—carts for the Hudson x.ay Company, also formissionaries and for different post. Like Gabriel Franchere, theirdream was to come with their eons to these inmense plains, fertileand promising . They were filled with admiration of the thought ofploughing this nice farming country.

Louis Schmidt — was the first one to come to St. Louis.

Louis: Schmidt made large contributions to the St. Louis parish.He was born December 4th 1844 at Vicux Fort close to Fort Chipewyanon the surroundings of Lake Athabasca. He was a distinqushed and anardent scholar noticed very young while at Winnipeg. He was one ofthree young boys chosen by Monsignor Tach to be sent to further hisstudies at the St. Hyacinth siminary. He came back west in 1861due to ill health.

Louis Riel studied at Montreal. McDougall studied at the seminaryof Nicolel. P.Q.

In 1870, Louis Schmidt was Louis Riel secretary. He alsorepresented St. I3oniface at the first legislature of Manitoba.He came to St. Louis in 1880. The parish was named St. Louis as hewas the first one to Start it. He settled here with is wife JustineLaviolette, a descendant of the Governor of Trois Rivieres and theLaviolette family—Jonas, Modeste, Charles and Pauline—Mrs. AlcideLegar6.

Michael Dumas was of the caravanc bt retned to the Red River.

Louis Schmidt passed away November 6, 1935 at the age of ninety-one. He was a good christian and a good patriot. He at church tenminutes before the exercises on Sundays. lifter mass at about11:30 Louis Schmidt would return home for dinner with his family.There were no cars then. He never had one but drove three miles tohis place and was back to sing the vespers at church, rain or shine.Nothing stopped him.

The memoires of Louis Schmidt appeared on the french paper“te Patriote de L’ouest.” He transmitted his faith to his sonPantalon and to his family blessed with a priest and also a nun.

In 1.884 Mr. Schmidt accepted the post of Land agent for thefederal government at Prince Albert. In 1897 he came back to St.Louis and was secretary for the school district no. 14. Later he wassecretary for the St. Louis Municipality no. 341 and was in. chargetill he retired.

Preparing for a long voyage.

Great were the activities in the spring of 1882 along the AssiniboineRiver at St. Charles, St. Francois—Xavier and at the Baie St. Paulnow Marquette Manitoba. Nothing should be left behind. Everythinghad to packed on carts and wagons. These travellers had to take careof their stock as they had COW8 calves, horses, and fowl Co feed asthe caravan would have to travel for fifty—two days. They had food,Kitchen utensils, stoves, furniture and different tools as theywould have to build new homes.

The caravan got on its way June 5th 1882 on the road of CarltonHouse. They travelled to Portage—la—Prairie and westward to the NorthWest territories. The caravan travelled every day except on Sundaysand on !ays of obligation or during heavy rains when it was too wet.1882 was a wet year and the caravan arrived at it8 destination at theend of July.

It was not all an excursion for pleasure as the mosquitoes wereplentiful hungry and torturous.

The caravan was of the following families, Baptiste Boucher,William Bremner, Pierre Boyer, Baptiste Delorme, Joseph Vermette andJohn fiddler. There were about sixty persons in this caravan.

Arriving at gatoche these travellers followed tl.a Southsaskatchewan House scene of tha 1794 massacre by the Bro—Ventrestribe.

Louis Schnict hac his home a nou’1e of aus away from the ruinsin 13C0. He was secretary of Luis .IC1 in the anitoba Government.He later moved to St. Louis.

Lucien Boucher now has his home on tiLe property first owned byLouis Schmidt at St. Louis. Lucien Boucher is the son of J.!,Boucher,grandson of Baptiste Boucher and son of Jean 13aptist oucher.Cnarles Eugene Boucher, son of Baptiste ‘oucher has his ho stcad thesame place whece the Hudson Bay Company had the fort bnrnt do”n bythe fierce tGros_Ventres warrior&’.

Charles Eugene Boucher represented Batoche in the legislatureof the North West Territories. Saskatchewan joined confederation in1905.

The caravan divided here. B. Delorme J. Vermette and JohnFiddler stayed while the other families continued and stoppedtwo miles west of where St. Louis is today.

This was a nice valley on the south banks of the river. Theland was fertile easier to cultivcite than the land Eather south fromthe river. These travellers first wanted a lot of good water forthemselves and for their stock.

Wood was tzuch looked after for hcctin. There was a lot of fire woodalong the river. With a lot of land under cultivation into bib fields ofwheat now, wood and water is not sought as it was in 1882.

Mixed farming was a must to survive. ‘1heat was not for saleall ‘ent for flour as the habitants were not numerous. They hd alittle flour mill. A good bushel of wheit would sell for 50 cents,The price for ; tuo year old steer would be $25.00. Horses could besold for $100.00 each.

The people settled on iver lots to be surveyed later on justas tc en tone in the province of Quebec and later in flanitoba onthe ;ssniboine and on the ..cd ivers. Our folks here closer1eihbors,The river 10t3 wore t.o iiles long. The rivor road was kept open andwell trafficked snr.er and winter

The children of William Bremner and of Marie Hoque were Alexander,William, Noise and Joseph — Jose, Marquerite married Magloire Boyer,Hentiette married John Morrison and mother Marie Louise had marriedJohn Baptiste Boucher.

Pierre Boyer’s children were Magloire John, Napoleon, Baptisteand Marie.

During the month of July the folks hurried to build bou...,and barns to be protected against the cold winter months. Sheds werebuilt for the stock.

Roddick was fifteen miles away. Logs were in adondance there.They had to go across the river. These logs had to be squared so asto build the walls, to be filled in between with white clay and whitewashed for a finishing touch. Grass from the sloughe was used forroofing. They called it Roofing grass.

This work kept the people busy till winter caine. Women and childrenof age had been busy gathering hazel nuts and fruit for the long wintermonths ahead.

The St. Laurent mission had been founded eight years before thisby K. Father Andr&.

Rev. Father Fourmand now lived there. St. Louis was about fifteenmiles from the St. Laurent Mission. The river had bo be crossed bysmall boats called skiffs”. Thirty miles were travelled to church everySunday and also on Week days. Rev. Father Andre resided at PrinceAlbert in the year 1882. In 1884 the oblate Fathers started tocome to St. Louis to officiate at mass. Fathers Andre, Vgrevil1e,Dotmieau and Father Leco took turns.

RIEL - BATOCIIE.

The year of 1885 was a year of sorrow for the new settlers.The beginning had not been easy but now it was a heart-ache. Certainadvantages were expected by them. They wrote to the government from1878 ciii 1884. Missionaries made demands — nsignor ach, MonsignorGrandin and the oblate Fathers charged with different missions helpedwith their recommendations.

The reclamations made by missionaries like those made by thepeople were useless.

Our Canadian government seemed unpopular at the task with viciousarid hard functionaries.

The tide of miscontent mounted in 1884 to cause an uprising in1885.

Gabriel Dumond, James Isbister, Noise Ouelette and Mike Dumasleft St. Laurent after a meeting held Nay 13, 1884 to go for LouisRiel who was teaching at the mission St. Peter on the Soleil riverin Montana. These four men left St. Laurent May 20, 1886. They reachedthe mission June 4th to pray Louis Riel in the name of the people of

k.tcbwan to come back with them to help obtain justice from the‘bu’rfl1erit.

p.

LoutseRiel. hesitated for a length of time. What would become ofhis wife and children if something happended to him? Re decided to cometo Saskatchewan in hopes of helping his people and arrived at St.Laurent July let.

Louis,, Riel. was in the Government for thc Red River in 1870when Thomas Scott was executed at Port Gerry. He was haunted by theorange men so he erred from place to place till he settled in exilein Montana living with his family on the meagxe salary of a schoolteacher.

V V

During the months ahead Louis Rid would preside at many meetingsto prepare the requests made by the population. 1e spy1. and acted withmoderation and had much influence among his people. Hs gave a goodexample by good conduct.

In 1885 there was a government in the North West Territories.

Riel became agitated by his new position. Contradictions anddiscussions he had faced made him sick and he felt exposed to meetwith an assassin at any time.

On March 18, 1885 Louis Riel with his friends settled at theSt. 1intione de Padoue Church at Batoche. The Rev. Father 1oulin0.N.I. was against this but Riel along with his counsellors got auzm.rnitionfrom the two stores at Batoche and also at Duck Lake. Gabriel Dsxontwas named ccxzruander of the military strategy. He possessed qualitiesof a great chief guerilla. He had spent years at buffalo hunting.He also had innumberable squirmhes with the Indians. lie hadknowledge of military strategy of war on the plains. His bravenessand ability at handling fire arms with good judgeent and his couragegave him the qualities of a good connander.

Gabriel Dumont’s integrity assured him of loyal and devotedcountry men. He was very polite but had different opinions than thoseof Louis Rid.

Dumont was very agreasive and wanted to attack Fort Canton andPrince Albert so as to seize aviuunition, Rid felt moro prudent andwaited to be first attacked. Louis Riel had his way and miny liveswere thereb saved.

DU 1KE

Mr. Crozier was the Royal Canadian Mounted Police super intendantat Fort Canton. On March 26th, he advanced towards Duck Lake accompaniedby about one hundred and fifty men to find out what Dumont had in hiding.

Crozier met Gabriel Dumont and his men three miles west of DuckLake on the Canton road. Mr. A. McKay acted as interpreter for fr.Crozier as they talked, he opened fire and one of Gabriel TYumont’emen was killed.

. . .10

— 10 —

This caused fighting for forty minutes, Crozier hurried back toFort Canton after eleven men were counted wounded and twelve dead.Gabriel Dumont counted four dead. The two coemianders were wouddedGrózier on the cheek, Dumont on the head.

A few days later General Middleton conducted the ausy to take overBatoche and continued later to Battleford. tie came froii Ontarioand on April 10th left Qu’Appelle for Batoche. Gabriel Dumontknew that his men could not resist for very long against the army atBathoche. bravery was not enough. Arms, amnunition andfood all that was necessary was furnished by the Canadian Governmentto General Hiddelton and his army for the campaign. The army was well.equipped for war.

Gabriel Dumont could not face the army with no munitions foodand equipment.

FISH CREEK

Dumont with one hundred end sixty men were waiting for Middletonand his army in the forenoon of April 24th. Dumont’s men hidden inthe bushes and behind atones set fire to the prairie. army numbered five hundred shooting with rapidity and precision. This 90thWinnipeg Rifles Regiment losses were heavy. Ten were killed whileforty were wounded. These soldiers were armed with Snider shotgunsand would shoot at long range while Dumont’s men had only a fewWinchester repeaters most of their old fashioned guns were lead ballsloaded by mouth. Dumont had eleven men killed end eighteen were woundedand left for J3atoche that night. Middleton stayed at Fish Creek fortwo weeks while waiting for reinforcement.

J3ATOQiE

Trenches wore made for the battle at Batoche. 1iddleton inspectedthis system of defense after the combat and was surprised to see thisconstruction done with so much care. Middletc,n opened fire on thepresbytery at Batoche. Rev. Father Julien loulin 0.1-1.1. appearedshaking a white handcrchief. Five priests had gathered there and thesisters had left their convent at St. Laurent and were close by in alean—to newly built for them.

The fight at Batoche lasted four days. Daimont’s men had no moreatrriunition nor food. Tired and weak they were forced to retreat and runfor their lives. It was the fall of Batoche May 3rd, 1885.

Middlaton had 46 wounded and 8 dead, during the fight while Dmnthad twelve dead and three wounded men.

Louis Riel went to court at Regina where he mounted on thescaffold.

Honest men saw with reason that the execution of Rid WBS unforgettaL.printed in the history of the Canadian West.

Fey nths later the Federal government authorized special star—veyore to come to the requests that had been made for so long in thepast. Land bordering the river surveyed the people could now havetitles to their property.

Why then could not this have been done before to spare allthe massacres and lives. Without counting the expenses and miseryfollowing the rebellion. The days of terror were over but stillthe consequences of after war remained. The families at St. Louishad left their homes. The men had enroll with Riel. Women and childrenwere hiding in the woods in terror. avery family mourned with deadand wounded loved ones.

On their return home they found no livestock left and their habitationswere spoilt. It was too late to do the seeding. Men were in exilaor hiding and scared to be taken prisoners. The people had not beentich but they no felt miserable.

The good priest Rev. Father Lecog 0.14.1. was the missionary in.charge since the beginning of 1884 at St. Louis.

Mass was offered at the Baptiste Boucher residence as it was alarge house necessary for hou9in the large family.

The church was built in 1887. Logs were hauled during the‘Winter, Lumber and shingles wer’ from the Prince Albert saw mill.

Honey was scarce but the volunteers for work was not on lot 13.

The good priest sold his horse and buggy and also his watch tobuy the necessary materials for the church. Needless to say the parishkept a souvenior of profound gratitude for R• Father Lecog 0.14.1.

FIRST VOCATION IN THE PARISH

Emma Boucher daughter of Baptiste l3oucher and of CarolfneL’EsptSrance took the name of Sister St. Marcien witt the Grey Nunsof Montreal. She was born at St. Francois—Xavier Manitoba and wasbaptised by the R. Father J.B. Thibault who was the parish prieston March 31, 1871. The family kept the triple heritage of theirancestors with large families, their french Language at home and thefaith broucht fro’ Normandy France to Boucherville, P.Q., down toMarquerite .. ‘You’rL1ie also Sieur De La Verendrye and to Mgr. Tachof St. Bonface.

Enmia made her first communion at St. Boniface, September 8th1880.

She remembered the bears and other wild animals conmiing to theriver for a drink close to their new home at St. Louis in 1882.

She was confirmed at St. Laurent, Saskatchewan. The fatailywould rise at four o’clock on Sunday mornings to arrive on time formass at St. Laurent from St. Louis, Saskatchewan.

R. Father Leco3 made it much easier later when he came twiceduring the month when J.B. Boucher would go for him at Prince Albert.Grandma Boucher wished she would have a priest among her fifteenchildren.

Err!na hd travelled almost six hundred miles with her father inhorse and buggy days to St. Boniface to enter the convent. She wasadmitted in by Sister N. Lamy superior. She found Emma to be a goodreader and a good writer and she sewed to perfection. She missed herfarniJy and most of all,her baby brother Ernest. She took the name ofSister -.

JEAN.BAPTISTE BOUCHER —

CAROLINE LESPERANCE

Partis de Sai nt-François-Xavler, au Manitoba,en 1882, us voyagérent en charrette a boeufs et firentpartie des six caravanes qul se dirlgeaient vers lesterritoires du Nord-Quest. Its emportalent toutesleurs possessions, car us partaient sans espoir deretour. us voyagerent du 5 juin au 27 juillet, donc 52jours. En arrivant a ce qul devait devenir Saint-Louisde-Langevin, us s’instatlèrent a tout hasard etvécurent sous des tentes. Mais ceci ne pouvait êtrequo temporaire.

Jean-Baptiste Boucher prit un “homestead”, eta partir du 29 février 1904, Ia famutle demeura sur leterrain décrit comme suit: Township 45, rangee 27, al’ouest du deuxiéme méridien. C’est là que Jean-Baptiste se bâtit. Plus tard, comme sa maison étaittrés grande elle servit tour a tour d’église pour Iamesse du dimanche, de lieu de reunion, de bureaude poste, le tout connu sous le nom d’EtablissementBoucher.

Jean-Baptiste Boucher et Caroline avaient Iareputation d’être bons chrétiens, très charitables ettrès hospitaliers. Dans plusieurs historiques defamille, on fait allusion a Ieur bonté et a leur accueil.Lorsque vous êtes envahi par un sentiment in-

définissable falt de peur, de regret, de quasi-paniquedevant I’lncorinu, lorsque vous ne parlez pasanglais, que toute sécurité a disparu et que vousvous sentez soul dans un monde nouveau, quelréconfort peut ators vous procurer Ia main cornpatissante qul vous touche l’épaule: “Pardon, nousvenons de Saint-Louls-de-Langevin; seriez-vous lesnouveaux colons?” Plusieurs nouveaux arrives ontfait cette experience a Ia descente du train a PrinceAlbert. Ceux qui étaient là, juste au bon moment,étaient souvent Jean-Baptiste et Caroline, mis aucourant par le missionnaire qui avait été prévenu del’arrivée d’une famille.

D’autres pionniers racontent que les Boucherles avaient hebergés quelques jours dans leur propre demeure au moment de leur arrivée des vieuxpays.

Caroline et Jean-Baptiste sont morts tous lesdeux a Saint-Louis; elle, a l’âge de 59 ans, le 11 mai1900; lui, a l’àge de 74 ans, le 30 aoOt 1911.

St.to trade furs Pierre Ouellette and Philippe Gariépy pére. met with Chief Factor Lawrence Clarkeriton district and Father Alexis André, Oblate and Superior of the district)’ Recognizing that theway between buffalo would be completely destroyed before the next generation and that landsettlement was inevitable, they agreed upon the establishment of a permanentsettlement and mission at a site on the banks of the South Saskatchewan which theynamed St. Laurent. One of the main concerns expressed was the necessity ofoccupying the lands claimed in order to secure ownership and ward otT futurespoliation. A sympathetic if somewhat impressionistic account was submitted to theeditor of The Manüoban.

meeting held by French Métis wintering on Banks of South SaskatchewanRiver, near Carlton. This Settlement is merely of a temporary nature, in fact awintering camp numbering 40 to 50 rough hewn. flat-roofea cabins. . .. Eachhouse is one apartment in which from one to two families reside: a hugechimney takes up no small space of the interior. . . the doors are rouahframework of wood over which is tightly stretched a Buffalo parchment skin. tewindows are of the same material. . . . Yet the humble roofs shelter brave.honest, loyal hearts, who in all their dealings are the souls of rectitude andhonor. I have been struck with the happy simple life these people leadearnest and persevering . . . success has crowned their labors during the pastseason. . . . Further up the river, there are other camps It is estimated thatthose different Camps combined, the new Colony will have in starting apopulation of about 1500. . .

The gens libres did not establish themselves permanently at St-Laurent until1874. Shortly before, in 1872, Xavier Letendre erected a trading shop. a dwellingand began a ferry service at the crossing to which he gave his name.

Q uant I moi, sans ,penser devenir un habitant. je me mis aussi a parcourir ceslieux-ci pour voir 51 je n’y découvrirais point une place qui put convenir a moncommerce. La nyc droite de Ia Saskatchewan l’endroit oO les fréteurstraversaient cette rivière me plut plus que toute autre que j’eusse vuejusqu’alors. J’achetai Ic droit de mes devanciers et m’installai a Ia place mémequi plus tart fut appelée de mon surnom Traverse a Baroche.23 [emphasismine]

Letendre homesteaded on lots forty-six and forty-seven although he claimed lotsforty to forty-nine through purchase and pre-emption. The Métis who settled in thatarea, identified as lots one to seventy-one of the “St. Laurent Settlement Survey”3laid out their farms according to French-Canadian custom, in river lots averagingtwo miles long and with about ten chains frontage. The practice was also to reservean adjoining field for wood and hay.

The self-governing co1onof St. Laurent, under the leadership of Gabriel_ L_-Dumont, originally encompassed a large area including the Boucher Settlement (St.rnment to Louis-de-Langevin in 1883), St. Laurent-de-Grandin, Batoche and Ic Coulée desLfl left in Touronds (Fish Creek area). In the 1870s, many farms widaimed along bothwas both banks of the South Saskatchewan River. Batoche was situated about centre and atvast and the major crossing point on the Canton trail or main highway between Winnipeg,I continue Fort Carlton, and Fort Edmonton. Many other trails traversed the settlement: ad by the branch of the Canton trail via Fort Ellice and Qu’Appelle also known as theHumboldt trail and Elbow trail, which ran north and south between the Fort a Iatres, near Cm-ne-Montréal Lake district and the Montana Territory.anlton to It is easier to document Xavier Letendre’s activities in the l870s after he

La vie tie ceux qui oftcolonisé l’Ouest canadienau debut du siècle tiernier, coniine Ic raconte sibien le colonel Real Boucher, ne fut pas toujoursfacile. Loin de là.

Entre autres, il cite lecas de son arrière-arrjèregrand-pete, Jean-MarieBoucher, patif de Berthierville. A 18 ans, ii seretrouva seul a FortGarry, après avoir etéembauche par Ia Compagnie de fourrures duNord-Ouest.

A cc iiionient-Ià, c’élait Ia guerre Otiverte entreceue firme et Ia Compagnie tie Ia Ilaie dHudson.Toutes les deux, elles sedisputaient l’exclusivitédu monopole du trèslucratif commerce deIourrures avec leslndiens.

Les affrontementsélaient sanglants enhre lesdeux pawilies. Finalement, Ia Baie d’I-Iudsoncut gain de cause et prit lecontrOle de sa concurrente. Jean-Marie Boucher passa donc au servicede ses nouveaux patrons.

dénommé Black qui parcourait les rivières duterritoire de Ce qui devaitdevenir plus lard leManitoba.

Finalernent, conscientdu geste qu’il avait pose,I’ancêtre de monsieurReal Boucher revint a demeilleurs sentiments et se

rapporta a son patron. Lapunition fut évère. Pendant plusieurs jours, piedset mains lies, ii fut exposéa Ia vue de tous, attachésur Je toil du fort. Onvoulait qu’il serve d’exemple a ceux quiauraienc eu Ia tentalion dese sauver.

Par contre, monsieurBoucher n’a pas connucetle vie dulficile daris sonvillage natal de Saint-Louis en Saskatchewan.Avant-dernier d’unefamille de huit enfants,son père qui s’appelaitJean-Marie comme sonarrière-arnière grandpère, exploitait uneferme très rentable.

Le colonel Real Boucher a passé deux ans aLondres comme attachémilitaire au Haut Cornrnissariat du Canada.Deux belles années, oa ila connu avec sa famille,sa femme et sa flue, Ia vied’ambassade. Avec tousles privileges qu’ellecomporte.

<<Une vie superficiellepar contre tient-il apreciser. Je n’aurais pas’voulu cependant, vivre decette façon jusqu’à Ia finde mes jours. Ce qui nemempêche pas pour.autant de I’avoir appréciée pleinement tout letemps quej’en ai profitC>>.

Pour résumer, cornmeIc dii Ic colonel Boucher,c’était le grand luxe, atous les points de vue:Iogement, serviteurs,ameublement, solde spéciale. ‘<La vie de châteauen quelque sorte>>, pouremployer sa propreexpression.

Force est de le croiresur parole, seulement aFentendre raconter lefaste des receptions auxquelles il assistaitrégulièrement dans lesdifférentes ambassadesoü Il Ctait invite avec sonépouse. Sans parler detomes les portes qui luiétaient ouvertes grace aupasseport diplornatiquedont ii bénéficiait a titrede membre du corpsdiplomatique. <<Evidemrnent, ces privileges,insiste-t-il, ndus Ctaientconcédés a condition quenous n’en abusions pas.Autrement, nous n’aurions pas fait long feudans un tel posre. Mais ilne faudrait pas croire pourautañt, enchaine-t-il, queIa vie d’ambassade n’estfaite que de receptions etde panics. II nous fautégalement travailler’<.

Pécheurs

Comme on s’en doutefacilement, a l’occasionde toutes ces receptions,ks renrésentzmtc (hf

férents corps diplomatiques, surtout les Soviétiques, err profitaient pouraller bien innocemment IIa pêche aux renseignements. Au cas oü uneindiscretion bien banalepourrait leur Ctre utile.

A cc sujet, Ic colonelBoucher se rappdlle enparticulier de Ia fois oüun attaché rnilitairesoviétique en avait rCellement trop mis. cJe causaisavec un diplornate allemand.

Ce qui n’a pas échappéni a monsieur Bo,,icher,ni au comte. A tinmoment cc dernier m’aglissé a l’oreille, mine derien: ‘<Mon colonel, ii vacertainement a Ia péchenotre ami soviCtique,mais il ne cherche surement pas _à prendre unetruite>>.

Monsignor I. A. Boucher, P.D.Pastor of Sacred Heart Cathedral

For many, twenty-five years as pastor of the same parishmay seem a lifetime. For Monsignor Bouclier, this is hutone leg of his busy and fruitful life. Born on July 24, 1901at St. Louis, Sask., he received his primary schooling at the Qlocal Sisters’ convent. He attended the Jesuit College inEdmonton, Alberta and obtained his Bachelor of Arts degreewith high honors in philosophy, mathematics and sciences.For his achievements he was awarded the gold medal of theI..ieutcnant Governor of Alberta.

• Because of his desire to learn the Polish language, hewas sent to the Polish Seminary at Orchard Lake, Michigan, (U.S.A. In spite of ill health, he was ordained to the holypriesthood by his bishop Most Rev. J. H. Prudliomme onDecember 8th. 1927 in his home parish church. He is proudto be known as the first Saskatchewan-born to become apriest.

. .

The first parish tà enjoy his uns!fish services was St.Louis where he served as assistant for pine years. In 1936,be became pastor at Wakaw. In 1940 he was name(l pastor ofSacred Heart Cathedral where he has exercised his ministryfor the last twenty-five years. In recognition of his preciousservices, he was madle a Domestic Prelate in 1949; hisparisluoners and friends now like to call him . the Mon—Signor.” He has been Vicar General of the ‘diocese since 1962.

Although he claims he isn’t as young as he used to be,he finds the strength and energy to fulfil his many dutiesand we all hope that God will keep hini active in our midstfor many years to come.

From St. Louis, where he washo. ., v sviiice Albert where hehas been pastor in charge ofSacred Heart Cathedral parishfor the past 25 years, is only amatter of about 21 miles.

But Rt. Rev. Monsiegnor J. A.Boucher. PD., took the longway round, going via Edmonton,to graduate with a bachelor ofarts degree from Jesuit Collegethere, which is affiliated withLa Salle University, and later to St. Mary’s Seminary atOrchard Lake, Mich., beforecoming to Prince Albert 25years ago.

Msgr. Boucher has been pastor of the Sacred Heart Cathedral parish for the past quartercentury and marks his 25th anniversary Sunday at a. con-celebrated Thanksgiving mass.

Msgr. Boucher was born atSt. Louis in 1901, his familyhaving aetted there in 1882,three years before the Rid Rebellion struck this part of Saskatchewan.

The Boucher family made thetrek west from St. Charles,Man., by oxcart, alter havinglived in the eastern province forsome time. Msgr. Bouchersaid his mother’s family cameout to Canada from Scotlandwith the first settlers under LordSelkirk, while his great greatgrandfather was of French origin and had been an employeeof the old North West Company.“They first settled in what Isnow Bouchardviile under agrant from the King of Franceover 300 years ago,” he said.

WILD RIVERAccording to Msgr. Boucher,

St. Charles, west of Winnipeg,was located on the Assiniboineriver and “in those days, theriver resily ran wild. We wereflooded out year after year sothe family decided to movewest.”

Msgr. Boucher grew up in St.Louis and received his education there as far as grade 10.He then went on the JesuitCollege in Edmonton, graduating from there in 1923, receivinghigh honors In philosophy a n dmathematics. “I haven’t lookedat mathemiatcis since but philosophy of course, has been mostuseful to me in my vocation as.a priest,” he says.

During his college years hespent five years studying Greek,six years Latin a ii d sixyears literature. “One does notreceive that type of educationthese days,” Msgr, Southersays, adding that the groundwork he received In literaturehas served him all hislife, “I’m still interested in theclassics. The unfortunate part isis that I have so utile time to doa ny serious reading I h es edays.”

Msgr. Boucher was ordained apriest in hia home town of St.Louis in 1927 and served thereas assistant and priest in chargeof 1-boy. In 1936 he went to Wa-

kaw as pastor and director ofthe Shrine of St. Teresa a n dstayed there four years. Duringthis time, he returned to Orchard Lake to study the Slavic

Vlanguages an even now, Msgr.Boucher can speak Polish sufficiently well to make himselfunderstood.

The year 1940 saw Msgr. Boucher come to Prince Albert asrector of Sacred Heart Cathedral and he has now been herelonger than any othe4 pastorsince the Cathedral was built in1890. When he first capie to thecity, Sacred Heart was the onlyCatholic parish. ‘t have seen Itgrow until now we have, in addition to this parish, St. Mark’s.St. Joseph’s and St. Michael’s.”

visrrs pAhflIU.ESA part- of his work has been

keeping up and consolidating thevarious organizations. of t h eCathedral as well as visltl n geach family In the parish atleast once a year. He has seena large increase In the number of parish organizations suchas t h e Catholic Women’sLeague, and Scouts, Cubs, GirlGuidesand Brownies have beenstarted since isis arrival in theparish,

“The number, of parishionershas, kept pace with the natura —growth and development- of thecity- so that we now have a-bout 3,200, many’ more thanwhen I first came to Prince Albert In 1940.” Msgr. Bouchersays. “We are also keeping upwith the changes In the liturgyas best we can.but it all takestime.”

For relaxation Msgr. Boocher enjoys classical readingand maintaips his keeis interestin sports, particularly hockey,baseball and football. At leastonce during the football season, he tries to make it to Re.gina for a home game of t is eRoughriders.

“At college I was quite atrack man and also played baseball, hockey and lacrosse untilmy health gave out and I hadto spend some time in the sanatorium. On recovering, the doctor forbade me Indulging in anystrenuous exercise.”

Msgr.. Boucher who was elevated to this position in 1948a n d invested Jan. 21, 1949in t h e Cathedral, Is to behonored by members of h 1 scongregation, friends andformer parishioners, at a testimonial d i nn e r tomorrowevening at 6:30 in the Cathedralhall following a con - celebrated. Thanksgiving Mass at 4o’clock.

V

Two former parish assistants, who had served u n d e rMsgr. Boucher, will celebratethe Mass and it is expected anumber of former assistantswill attend both t is e Massand the dinner to honor theirformer rector. V
