Scraps of oregon History.

The subjoined is taken from letter
written to the Ogden Freeman:
In 1892 Captain Gray, of Boston, COM
manded the ship Columbia. discovered
and aecended the river named after the
latter. This discovery formed the basis
for the subsequent claim of the United
States to and acquisition of the territory
now embraced in Oregon.
In 1804-5 Captains Lewis and Clark
crossed the Rocky Mountains and de-
scended the Columbia river to the
Pacific. Their official report first made
the great resources of that part of the
Pacific coast known.
In 1910 the first house was built in
Oregon by Capt. Winship, another New
England sea.farer. In 1911 John Jacob
Astor, of New York. established trad
ing post at the mouth OF the Columbia
river, which was named Astoria, in his
honor. The venture proved disastrous.
mainly in consequence of the war be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain in 1912. The British took pos
session of the post in 1873. and called it
Fort George. Subsequently it became
the property of the Hudson Bay Com
pany, and it remained in its possession
until l84S.
The Northwest Fur Company dis
puted for a time the rule of the latter
company on the Pacific coast, but had to
succumb in q few years. and was alb.
sorbed by its rival in 1924; from which
time, till 1848, the latter ruled supreme
in the valleys of the Columbia and Will
annette.
In 1924 the first fruit trees were
planted in Oregon, and in 1881 the first
attempt at farming was made by some
of the retired servants of the Hudson
Bay Company. In 1912 the first school
was opened. Between 1884 and 1887
missionaries of various denominations
arrived, bringing the first cattle with
them. In 1888 the first printing press
arrived in Oregon. In 1S41 Commodore
Wilkes visited the Columbia on an ex'
ploring expedition, at the instance of the
American Government.
From 1916 till 1916 the American and
British Governments held Oregon By
joint occupancy, under formal treaty
Yet up to 1843 the inhabitants Of Oregon
did not enjoy the benefit Of any form O.
civil government whatever; but in thu
year last named the first steps wer,
taken towards the organization of pro
visional government, which was form
ally accepted by the people at a genera
election held in 1916.

of the chapel were at that time
unplastcred, and the sermons were
usually placed in a hole in the
wall behind the pulpit. On Sun
day, before tho service began,
some wag pushed the sermons so
far into the hole that they could
not be got out with the hand.
When the time for the sermon
had arrived, the minister tried
in vain to get them out. He then
turned to the congregation and
said that he could touch them
with his forefnger, but couldn't
get his thumb in to grasp them.
