Small pox again ravaged the prairies, originating, this time, with an American Fur Company steam-man on the Missouri River Steamboat St. Peter. It traveled across the prairies, killing three quarters of the Assiniboine, Blackfoot, Blood, Piegan and Sarcee. The worst part of the catastrophe, Edmonton Trader John Rowand (1787-1854) said, is to have to witness so much misery without being able to do anything. A vaccination program given by the Hudson Bay Company had protected some Cree and Assiniboine. Six thousand natives, out of approximately nine thousand, perished this year. The Roman Catholic priests Francois Blanchet and Modestre Demers visited Edmonton on their way to Fort Vancouver. They are believed the first priests to visit Fort Edmonton.
Fathers Demers and Blanchet, went up the Saskatchewan, to Fort Edmonton, to become the first Catholic Priests in Alberta. They erected a large cross above Fort Edmonton on the hill that now houses the Alberta Legislative Buildings. They then proceeded to Jasper and on to the Columbia River, to the Oregon Territories. At Jasper they encountered Colin Fraser one of the traders.

October 2: At Fort Jasper they baptized 35 half-breed children. The Edmonton Metis population is growing, with most moving to Lac Ste Anne and Lac La Nonne to support themselves by fishing, hunting, raising horses and freighting. Forty Metis, however, had pitched their summer tents around Fort Edmonton. John Rowand (1787-1854) was fearful they would begin establishing winter homes and thereby become free traders, competing with the Company. John Rowand (1787-1854) wrote to Bishop Provencher of St. Boniface asking for a mission to come and take the Metis and Indian from the vicinity of the Fort. He didn't want the missionaries in his vicinity, but he wanted the Metis even less.
October 2: Father Blanchet reached Fort Jasper, named after Jasper Hawes a Hudson Bay Company trader, and reported that he baptized thirty-five Metis children. Three being the Metis daughters of Colin Fraser. Blanchet would become the first bishop of Oregon City and his companion, Demurs, became the first bishop of Vancouver Island.
