Abstract
When the district [New Caledonia] was first settled [by the NWC in 1805], the goods required for trade were brought in by the winterers [wintering partners] from Lac la Pluie [Fort Frances on Rainy Lake], which was their depot.The people left the district as early in spring as the navigation permitted, and returned so late that they were frequently overtaken by winter ere they reached their destination.Cold, hunger, and fatigue, were the unavoidable consequences; but the enterprising spirit of the men of those days -the intrepid, indefatigable adventurers of the North-West Company -overcame every difficulty.It was that spirit that opened a communication across the broad continent of America; that penetrated to the frost-bound regions of the Arctic circle; and that established a trade with the natives in this remote land, when the merchandise required for it was in one season transported from Montreal to within a short distance of the Pacific.Such enterprise has never been exceeded, seldom or never equalled.The outfit is now [middle 1830s] sent out from England by Cape Horn, to Fort Vancouver, thence it is conveyed in boats to [Fort] Okanagan, then transported on horses' backs to Alexandria, the lower post of the district, whence it is conveyed in boats to Fort St. James.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
