From pictur esque Gaspe, wliere he first land ed in 1534, down the St. Law rence to metropolitan Montreal, where he tried to run his long boats through the famous La chine Rapids, picturesque fetes and ceremonies will commemor ate the event which started the French exploration of a vast area of the North American continent, including the Mississippi Valley and a large part of what is now the Middle Western and North western part of the United States. Like so many other early At lantic explorers, Cartier was look ing for Cathay when he found Canada and even King Francis believed that beautiful Quebec was part of the lands "which form the extremity of Asia towards the West." When Car tier headed into the St. Lawrence her was sure. that he had at last found a Northwest Passage to Cathay. He had been cruising along the coast and, according to Francis Parkman, he had not ed the natural wonder of the Bird Rocks, at Perce, where in past centuries gone a gigantic stone bridge must have connect ed Mont Joli and Bonaventure Island, now a government sanc tuary for rare wild birds. On July 16, 1534, he sailed in to the Bay of Gaspe to avoid a storm and on July 24 he landed at what is now the beautiful lit tle village of Gaspe. There he erected a cross thirty feet high and claimed this part of "Ca thay", in the name of Francis, and one of the ceremonies this summer at the very same spot will be the erection of a large cross of stone from Cartier's na tive Brittany. Sure that he had found the way to China, Cartier sailed back to France, taking two Indians and a marvellous load of tall tales that were true. "We saw a great multitude of wild men that were fishing for mackerels, whereof there is a great store." For France he had also discov ered one of the greatest fisheries in the world, off the Gaspe coast, which "some Canadian historians believe had been fished by Euro peans a3 early 'as the 12th Cen tury. Possibly even Basque fish ermen had been there before Car tier. It is certain that French fishing fleets rushed there when they heard Cartier's stories. In 153 5 Cartvsr returned with a larger expedition to push up the Northwest Passage, the gor geous St. Lawrence, "into Ca thay."

During the disastrous winter near Quebec, when many of his men died of scurvy, he still tried to learn more of the mar vellous Saguenay country, and decided that the way to get there was up the Ottawa River.

A distin guished French delegation will participate in the ceremonies at Gaspe and then retrace the his toric route of Cartier up the St. Lawrence. Both the American Government and many state governments are to be invited because later French explorers traversed so much of the conti nent now the United States. Champlaln, L.a Salle, Joliet, Hen nepin, La Verendrye the list of these explorers is almost endless and they explored more of North America in that period than any other race. And what they found turned out to be more marvel lous than Cathay itself. In memory of the past, Gaspd peninsula and the St. Lawrence Valley will be a land of fetes this summer In honor of the great dis coverers and thousands of visi tors are expected along the mar vellous highway system which links together all the historic spots of past centuries.

C0HE, HAVE A LOOK U. S. Migratory Plan Scored by Two Dakotas Citizens Are Cold to Proposal To Leave Drouth-Stricken States fcr Greener Areas. Pierre, S. D., July 26. The fed eral reclamation bureau's proposal for wholesale evacuation of drouth regions got the cold shoulder Thurs day in the area it is designed to benefit. The Washington statement of Dr. Elwood Mead, reclamation commissioner that "tens of thousands of persons must be moved from the drouth stricken western half of Da kotas and the eastern slope of Rocky mountains," drew this response from Governor Tom Berry of South Da kota: "In my opinion the spirit of the people of South Dakota is still loyal to the soil of the state, and investigations of drouth stricken families dis close determination to fight it out." The state executive, himself a resi dent of a western South Dakota ranch , said redistribution of the population within the state is con templated under a rehabilitation pro gram already planned, but he saw no need for moving any persons out side the state's borders. Even this intra-state policy of vol untary movement of farmers from unproductive land west of the Mis scuri river to small eastern South Dakota farms has its critics. "There has been lots of money made in western South Dakota," said one west river rancher, "and there will be plenty made in the future." Two North Dakota Agricultural college men and E. A. Willson, state administrator of federal relief, also joined the chorus of opopsition.

LAWYER DENOUNCES JUDGE Los Angeles. Judge Collier's criticism of the actions of the attor ney representing Eleanor Wilson McAdoo in her recent forty-two min utes divorce from Senator McAdoo brought a sweeping denunciation from Attorney William H. Neblett, long an associate in the law offices of the senator. Neblett filed a notice of a motion to strike from the court files Judge rviiiior' rpmnrks concerning ine nuick divorce. He charged Judge Collier had no authority to issue such a statement, which he described as "scandalous, libelous, unprivileged, spiteful, malicious" and an "unlaw ful attempt to use the files, records and processes of the court for pub licity purposes." One of the ten reasons why Neblett fniitorda lhf remarks should be stricken from the files is that it forms contempt of court by Judge Collier.
