81 both rafi0Gs. Of tk@ territory 49,; 0f the
Rocky Mountains. In March. 1921, the
Hudsoa's Bay and North-ves; Companies.
who for many Yeas l2i cani-d on such
f.rce opposition TO each other that hos,il-
itie- ensued, enter-d into partnership.
Viii their combined influence favorable
legislation was secured from the British
Parliament, extending tie jurisdiction Of
the courts Of Canada to the Pacific Ocean,
withstanding the existence Of the FORE
going treaty, by which non-occupancy by
the British Government was agrced) Dec.
26th, 1921, the two companies. as part
nership, obtained from the British Govern
ment an exclusive license of trade in said
Territory for twenty y.one years. In 1924.
the Hudson's Bay Company swallowed up
the Northwest Company. and became sole
owners of said license Of trade. and sue.
cessors to all the property and establish.
ments of their former rivals, the North
west Company.
In 1924 and 1925 respectively, the Uni.
ted States and Great Britain. by treaties
with Russia, recognized $40 40' north lat.
itude as the Southern line of the Russian
America. In 1927. the treaty between
the United States and Great Britain con-
tinued indefinitely the provision Of joint
occupancy in the treaty of 1918, until
either party should give twelve months
notice of desire to abrogate.
From 1924 down to 1886, the Hudson's 5
Bay Company were almost exclusive pos.
SCISSORS of the Territory west Of tho Rocky
Mountains, with here and there an occas-
ional trading party. hunter or trapper, at
tempting to enjoy their doubtful and dan.
gerous avocation. The latter were gener-
ally employed by tho enterprsing fur COM
panies of St. Louis. and but seldom TX
tended their operations as far west and
north as what is now Washington Terrific
ry. The area of the present Territory Of
Washington may be regarded during this
period, and even down to 1S45, as under
the jurisdiction and control OF the Hudson's
Bay Company. Within its boundaries
they had established forts at Vancouver.
Walla Walla, Okanagane, Colville. Ms.
quelly, Cowlitz river. and just after the ab.
rupt termination of tho negotiations be-
tween Messrs. Buchanan and Sir Richard
Pakcnham, in l845, by instructions from
London. claim at Cape Disappointment
was secured. This admirable distribu-
,ion of posts was not only calculated 10 ss-
c"rr the trade Of the country, bus to hold
the native tribes in subsection. in short, to
hold possession Of the country.
In 1884, the missionary settlements from
the United States commenced, and shortly
afterwards American population slowly
found their way int" Oregon, rontining for
several years their settlements south Of
the Columbia. Trae. two Of the three
missionary stations, established under the
auspices Of the American Board of Foreign
Missions, viz: Whitman's ut Waiilatpu
and that Of Messrs. Eels and Walker. near
the Spokane river. had been located in
what \ Anow comprisrd in this Territory.
