In the meantime, another and lesser man, following the trail which be bad blazed,, would be hailed as the "Pathfinder.' John C.

He is Maurice S. Sullivan,. whose "Jedediah Smith, Trader and Trail Breaker" was published recently by the. Press of the 'Pioneers, Inc. of. Now York. This book Is based upon a copy : of Smiths diary which Sullivan unearthed after a search lasting many years. He found it In the possession of a remote branch- of Smiths family and With it was a map of the Pathfinders travels.' Yankee Pioneers,' Smith was born in the little village, of Jericho, N.' Y. on January-6- , 1799, of a line of "tall, vigorous, stern, God - learirig Yankees" who had "reared successive generations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecticut . , pushed their way .westward and southwestWard, conquering' the land as .they went!!' He was the sixth of. 14 children,' all .of whom had their schooling under a Connecticut schoolmaster bearing the impressive name of Titus Gordon .Vespasian Simons..

In. the years. to. come he would be 'associated with some of the roughest characters in the history of America trappers and fur traders, who leared neither God Qr man, nor had reverence for either.' But aome quality in the g young Yankee would so impress them that they would gladly acknowledge him as their leader and willingly fallow him through untold hard--shi- p and dangers.

The land ended, there was water, and an island in a vast ocean. What thoughts passed through the mind of 'Diah Smith as he gazed upon this wonder we can only conjecture. He may have thought of the Greeks, of whom he had read, who after long wandering came joyfully at last to the Eu-xisea. He may have thought of Balboa, silent, upon a peak ne g old-tim- ' JEDEDIAH STRONG SMITH Darien Certainly he thought of the Vision which had drawn him through suffering and danger, the first, white man to cross the continent from the bank of the Mississippi to the California shore.' Now Jay the second gate open, the high road charted; westward the course of empire saw its way. In the young Yankee hunter, sitting. his horse on the rim of the World,, lay the end of hope for England, or for Russia to take California, for Spain to regain it, or for Mexico to keep its slender In . hold. ' ' . . Ills Odyssey Begins,.. So Jedediah Smith came to the end of his first remarkable journey. But it, was only the beginning of others, even more remarkable in many respects. When he arrived in San Diego the Spanish authorities looked with considerable suspicion oh this invader who might be coming to spy put their fair country, westwardfor those pushing Americans who had so recently extended their domain from the Mississippi river to the crest of the Rockies.' . After spending some time. 'fit San Diego, where lie purchased ' supplies, Smith led ids men still . seeking good beaver streams. Failing to find them, on the San Joaquin ond the Merced rivers, he pushed on to the Stanislaus. Then he turned his eyes eastward where the Sierra .Ned vada range lifted its peaks toward the sky. Leaving most of. his- party on the Stan jslaus, Smith with two companions, seven horses and two pack mules set out to scale ihe range. t days they fought tnc snowdrifts and finally emerged on the. .eastern side, .' ' But ahead- of them Was '.the Nevada desert, worse, even than the Mojave. For 20. days they m&'rched. across that inferno and by the time they hiid finally conquered it they had eatert all of their horses bu.t one. 'ahd gaunt with hunger, they managed .to. reach the summer rendezvous' of the trappers 5n Bear lake, near the present Lak'c.Wood, land-hungr- y, . snow-cappe- - ers had little regard for political boundaries. They encamped on ' the- Umpqua river. There, one while Smith was away, the day Indians fell on the camp and virtually wiped it out. Only two men escaped. The Indians took the entire outfit and that rich haul of . . furs, Smith came back to find everything gone. One of the men who had escaped joined him there and the two headed farther north for Fort Vancouver, There, strangely enough,' the good Dr. greeted them warmly, although the Hudsons Bay company frowned on invasions of its fur empire. McLoughlin sent out parties and made the Indians disgorge the loot (hey had obtained' in the massacre of the camp. Then he paid Srqith $20,000 for the lot. . The other refugee from the camp reached the fort and. In March of 1829,' Smith and his two companions set out up the Columbia to drop over the divide and make his 'way back to the mountains where his company was operating. He joined them this time in Pierres Hole and there the three partners were united for the first time in ttvo years. The following year Sublette and Jackson, well satisfied with their returns from the fur trade, decided to retire and enter . the Santa Fe trade. The Fatal Decision.

Undaunted by the .experiences he had been ' through,' he set out again after, only, a short rest, this time .with .19 men' and .two India!) women. This time, the Spanish, fearing" no good of Smith explorations, had incited the Indians against "him and at the Mojavfc villages besit his small party. Ten of his men were killed, the' two squaws carried off to captivity.' All his ' ... belongings were lost. . . ' With the- remnants' of his party he reached California. To make matters worse, the. Spaniards, clapped Smith in jail at San Jose and late? moved him to Monterey. But he finally succeeded in getting his freedom by signing the a paper that he would leave ' ' country immediately. .
