The first Printing Press West Of the Rocky
Mountains.

On the I'd of March, 1889, Edwin O.
Hall, then printer of the Honolulu
Mission under the auspices of the
American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions" and since editor
of the Polynesian, accompanied by his
wife, sailed from the Sandwich Islands
for the Presbyterian Mission on the
Clearwater river, in what was then Ore
gon, but now Washington Territory,
in charge Of Rev. ii. Ii. Spaulding,
bringing printing press, font oftypes,
paper, ink, materials, binding apparat-
us, &c., &C., to the value of five hun
dred dollars, or thereabouts.
Mr.. Hall arrived in the Columbia
river on the Odd of April of that year,
and proceeded with all dispatch to the
said station, which he reached together
with the press, early in May, 1889, and
soon thereafter commenced the print
ing of elementary spelling books in the
.Nezperccs and FIathead languages,
which were adopted and used by the
various Mission Schools.
The Mission in charge of MIR. Spauld-
ing, and at which said press was estab-
lishcd, was located on tho Clearwater
river. atout one hundred and twenty
five miles northeast of Old Fort Walla
Walla, among the Nczpcrces Indians.
This river was called by the Rev. Mr..
Parker, Koots-Koosie, or Little Water.
DR.. Whitman, under date of March
9th, 1910, thus writes from Waiilatpu,
near Walla Walla, SO we'll remembered
as the scene of the whitman Massa-
crc:" "The book, which at the annu-
al meeting of the Mission, I was ap-
pointed to write, I employed Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Rogers to write, as being bet
ter qualified to do it than myself, and
so much of my time being taken up in
making medical calls for the Mission.
1t is now printed, and makes fine ad
dition to our means of instruction, and
must supcrcede the one first written, as
it is more correct in language and Or
biography. It contains fifty-two pages,
and an edition of eight hundred copies
has been printed"
In the Spring Of 1910, Mr.. Hall and
his lady, after having established the
first press, and printed the first book,
in the Pacific American Possession, re-
turned to the Sandwich Islands.
l have thus given historical notice
Of the establishment of the first print
ing press, and its ipceptive labors.
Will not some reader Of the Oregonian,
familiar with the early history Of Ore
gon and especially ofthe Mission, trace
the history Of this press, what became
Of il, and then follow it with q chrome
Logical notice Of the establishment Of
the various journals in Oregon and
Washington. T..

An Easy Prey.

In the present ticklish aspect of the
nations affairs it is an interesting as
we'll as profitable task to rc-peruse tho
patriotic oration of tho distinguished
Edward Everett, delivered recently in
Boston, with the certainty that we
shall find therein something which
may account for the animus which in
spired the leading financial men Of
that city in their offers of unceasing
monetary support to the Government
Of the United States during the pend
ing ctruggle. One argument alone
among the host made use of by tho
orator should come home to every
American, North ard South, and es.
to us of the Pacific slope Of the CONT
nent, whose isolation from tho rest of
the would, in the event of of dissoTu-
ton Of the States, would offer an in
ccssant provocation to the conquering
arms of other and more powerful ma,
tions -
"Let it be remembered" he says,
"that in granting to the seeding states,
Jointly and scvcrally, the right to leave
the Union, we concede to them the
right Of rcsuming, if they please, their
former allegiance to England, France
and Spain. 1t rests with them, with
any one of them, if the right of secess-
ion is admitted, again to plant Euro
pean government side by side with that
Of the United States on the soil Of
America; and it is by no meaus the
most improbable upshot Of this ill.,
starred rebellion, if allowed to prosper
The disunion press in Virginia last year
openly encouraged the idea ofa French
protectorate, and her Legislature has,
I believe, sold out the james River Ca
nal, the darling enterprise of WASH
ington, to company in France sup
posed to enjoy the conntenance Of tho
Emperor. The seeding patriots Of
South Carolina were understood By the
correspondent Of the London 7ymes to
admit, that they would rather be sub
ject to British prince than to tho gov.
erument of the Uaited States. Wheth.
er they desire it or not, tho moment
tie seceders lose the protection Of the
United States they hold their indepsn-
deuce at the mercy Of the powerful
governments of Europe. Ifthe navy
Of the North should withdraw in pro-
lection, there is not southern state On
the Atlantic Of the Gulf which might
not Be re-eolonised ty Esrops II si1
months after the outbesak q . fsseiga

Atmosphere Of Planets.

Modern telescope observations have
most clearly and satisfactorily proved
that the planets, besides their own,
have an encircling atmosphere. In
deed, the atmospheres around the plan
cts are as palpable to sight as the clouds
which float on our own. Venus aud
Mercury are enveloped in thick atmos-
pheres in the former, the air is cs-
cially conspicuous, 80 that the morning
aud evening twilight may almost be
seen floating on it. The ascertained
existence OF clouds in the planets proves
more than the mere presence of at
mosnheres upon them. An atmos-
pherc is necessary to support clouds,
but il is not to be identified with them.
Water is converted into vapor by
the agency Of the sun and the wind.
This vapor. when it escapes from the
surface of the liquid. is generally light
er, bulk for bulk, than that part of the
atmosphere contiguous to it. IL rises
into more elevated regions, where, by
the agency Of cold and by electricity. i
is made to resume its liquid state. but
in such minute PARTICLES, that it floats
and forms those semi-opaquc masses
called clouds. Great difficulties, how
ever, obstruct inquiries of this nature
with respect To most Of the planets.
The very presence Of those atmosphercs.
and the clouds with which they are
loaded. offer a serious impedimcn, to
any observations having for their objcc.
10 ascertain the geographical character
Of their surface. The grea: distance of
some Of them is . formidable obstacle
to such inquiries still, where some
peculiar circumstances favor the OBJ
servation. something has becn done ia
this investigation.
