Of the Willamette and the Columbia

S The route always taken by the emf

The read 10 Oregon, is from lode
pendence TO the Kansas river; thence
up The Valley Of The Arkansas TO the
South West pass. Now this Pass is JUS
fourteen miles North OF the 42d degree
Of latitude. This was a bare escape
from the Mexican territory.
But when they leave The South Wesl
Pass; in order 10 turn the second
range of Mountains, they are obliged to

i'll they reach the valley Of Green river
IN California. AT ihe southern point
of their journey, Trey are more
lhan hundred miles 10 The Mexican
territory, From that point they turo
North Wesl, and ge into valleys run

This fact is of importance; for if We
