rolna qualified for this particular mission? Per-
haPs Mr.. Polk thinks the Oregon fever is not so
strong there as it is in the North and West, and
that Is the reason. If so, what becomes Of all

upon the cession by Spain, in 1890, to England

patton and settlement. The Albany Argus gives
the following summary Of the American title:
Il. Discovery Of the mouth of the Columbia RI
yer by Captain Gray Of Boston, giving the name
OF his vessel TO the river.
2. The discovery Of the head Of the same river
by Lewis and Clark, under the authority of the
United States.

d. The Treaty in 1903 with the French Re-
public.

ling under assumed names, and am informed

cined TO think that there is not that harmony be-
tween any two or more tribes necessary TO the
accomplishment of the diabocaI project alluded

encouragement SAID to have been made by one of
Simpsons party, to The effect that two LARGE fri.
