Making History.

II
The Washington Statesman, in notes
ing the first number of the Boise
News" gives an extended account Of
the press Or which the News is print
ed, from which we make the following
extract:
The press on which the News Is
printed has a history. 1t is one of the
first that was brought to the Pacific
COAST, and made the voyage from New
York, around Cape Horn, to Portland
Oregon, in The early days. The tales
that it has impressed of the early hiss
tory of Oregon aud Washington which
with Idaho, were one wheui it com
.menced its career of usefulnesS-are we
believe, all among the archives Of the
0regonian, Office. Many an incident ii
has related of Indian masSacres, and Of
sptferings and privations endured by
westward bound immigrants, while trays
cling through the wilds eff the Territory
whore it has now gone as a harbinger
Of Civilization and progress. Many a
typo IN Oregon, Washington and Calls
foruia could. recount pleasant stoiies OF
hours spent beside itsin the Orpgoniau
office, paying their devofrs to sparkling /
bottles of champagne and rich cake sent
in BY the young apd old couples who
had put their fool in it"
It followed tile star of empire west
ward to the retnotest corner of the Pa
cfe, and two years ago we reversed the
order and brought II to this place; and
now it has taken. another stride of three
hundred miles, over the mountains, to-
ward the land from whence it came.
Who can foretell its future, and whether
Or not the same rapid strides will mark
the onward progress of the place from
whence it has sent forth the first num-

Many and marked changes b ave and

hole. 1t is being colonized and civilized
by Yankees. The business men here are
mostly Yankees, and are thrifty and in
dustrious. The seeessionists are Ersdu-
ally dying with the rot God grant that
the whole Of Tennessee may be settled
by loyal men from the North, who, in
conjunction with her loyal sons, win de-
yelOpe the resources which nature has so
literally bestowed upon her. GAlIatin
is nice Place-s healthy location. But
we must remove from our midst the dis
