The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1882-08-31
VANCOUVER IN 1880.

In the summer of 1899 two British
ships, the Sulphur and the Stdrting,
came into the Columbia, the latter
being brought up to this point. Sir
Edward Belcher's narrative of the
voyage contains the following refer
ence to the place and surroundings
where the city Of Vancouver now
| stands:
On the 9th Of August, after being
nearly devsured by mosquitoes, we
reached Fort Vancouver, where we
were very kindly received by Mr..
Douglas, and apartments Is allotted to us.
Fort Vancouver IL situated in lati-
tude As deg. 35 min. So sec. N, IOngi-
tude l22 deg. 20 min. 10 see. W., and,
as the crow flies, 81 miles from Cape
Disappointment, the northern head
Of entrance into the Columbia. II
stands about 800 yards within the
northern edge Of the river, is u pick
eted enclosure 800 yards square, the
pickets being Is feet high, composed
of roughly split pine logs. No atten-
tiOn to strength has been paid In its
construction. It IL furnished with
three gates, two of which are invari-
ably open by day. The houses Of res
itence, us we'll as storehOuses Of the
company, are within this enclosure,
forming two squares. No guard Is
observed. The trading store Is open
during working hours, and any in
crease Of number amongst the Indl-
ans would not excite uneasiness Oh
the part Of the officers.
In the eastern square the main
building Is occupied by the chief. IN
which also il the sala or mess-roOm.
In front of the steps Of this building
are two long 24-pounder ship guns,
and two short merchant merchant
ship cannonades, IL or 18-pOunders.
On the left, ut right angles, are the
quarters Of other clerks, traders, etc.

Ian half-castes generally live In their

The Mormons are still defiant and
are determined to defeat the recent
legislation against polygsmy. They
are pouring out the stream Of Nor
manism all over the Territory, made
up principally from deluded and ig-
norant foreigners who have been b.
yuiled from their homes abroad by the
priesthood, and have come here under
the impression that they were to flnd
u paradise. Mormon authorities ex-
pect much from this large imnigra-
ton. They are not coutent to make
converts abroad and to build their sys-
TEN in other lands like missionaries
Of other churches, but they bring all
their followers 10 Jerusalem for the
simple reason they expect 70 need
them hereafter In their struggle With
the government.

Lord Derby has doubtless many time
chuckled over his sagaciiy in selling his
fine Tlpperary estates before the troubles
there began. His father left TO his younger
son-Lord Derby's only brother-Colonel
Stanley, BeacOnsiield's War Secretary. the
choice between 100000 and the Irish pro-
perry. He took tie former. Lord Derby,
on receiving the latter, sold it for $4,000
to 4 rich Dublin merchant. The tenants
sent deputation TO Knowsley, entreatng
Lord Derby not TO sell, but be said he must
do so. because he could not live III Ireland
and would not be IN absentee landlord.

There cannot be found in any tongue a
more explicit confession OF the faith OF
Christian than we have here. With as
much truth might Mr.. lngersoll claim that
Bacon or Edmund Burke belonged to his
fraternity. The skeptic is not found among
minds OF the highest order. Mr.. Webster d.
rccted that his faith as a Christian should
be inscribed on his tomb, and Shakespeare,
for recorded testimony to all time, with
his own hand wrote il down in his will.
In many respects we know as little OF
Shakespeare as the Greeks knew OF Homer,
but we have positive proof that in religion
he was Christian. Mr.. Ingersoll, as
