1t is fact not generally known that
but for the knowledge aud patriotism
OF one man the valuable lands en-
braced in Oregon and Washington ter.
ritory would now be the properly of
Great Britain instead of tie United
States. The Hudson Bay company,
forty-iive years ago, were very anxious
to obtain possession of these lands,
and industriously circulated the report
that they could never be settled. as il
was impossible for immigrants to cross
the mountains in wagons. At u public
dinner given in 1912, at which several
officers OF the Hudson Bay company
were present, news was received that
Il band of British immigrants had
crossed The mountains. 'IOasts we're
drunk In honor of the event, and one
enthusiastic Englishman exclaimed:
'NOw the Americans may whistle, the
country is ours" There happened to
be present vt the dinner an American
missionary, DR.. Marcus Whitman, who,
when he heard the boast OF the Eng
lishman, resolved that # it were III his
power to prevent it the country should
not become the property of the Eng
lish. The next day hc started for
Washington on horseback, and making
ehe journey in winter with froz II limbs
presented himself, Immediately upon
his arrival at the capitol, to Daniel
w ebSter, then secretary of state. After
he had stated his case, Webster blutHy y
told him the country was worthless,
and that wagons could not cross the
mountains. "Sir George Simpson,
who is here, atlirms that" said he,
''and | am about trading that worth
less region for some valuable conces-
siOns III relation to the Newfoundland
fisheries" DR.. Whitman was in dis
tresS, for he found that the treaty had
already been approved by the senate,
and was awaiting formal ratification
and the signature Of President Tyler.
He decided as n last hope to call upon
! tle president himself. After hearing
him through, President Tyler said: Dr..
| Whitman, YOUR frozen limbs and leather

tains in wagonsp' Give me six months

~ AOS'. "0o thO IL Ply w VII, ShlN
the president, 'if YOU take them acroS,
the treaty shall not be ratified" With
much effort The band of emigrants wa,
raised, and, though they were met by
a deputation from the Hudson Bay
company who declared that it was i'm
possible to cross the mountains ant
wre almost persuaded to abandon
tleir wagons, before the time expire,
succeeded in their undertaking. Tn,

krOis. the San Francisco


A novel experiment has been tried
IN connection with the pilgrimage Of
the Baltimore and Washington
Knights Templar to this city. When
the special train left Washington,
Frank K Ward, proprietor of the
Attorney Diaries, placed 200 gallons
of milk in the hotel car of the train
with the understanding that the milk
should be as sweet when it arrived in
San Francisco as when he placed it
aboard the car If the milk was de
ivered in this condition, he was to re
ceive 81 per gallon. A Call reporter
yesterday boarded the train carrying
the milk, and was treated to a large
glass of the tactical fluid by Mr. Ward
and was compelled to admit that it
was as sweet as any he had ever tasted
The gentleman has therefore earned
his money. The milk is to be served
up this morning on the tables of the
Russ House, at which place the cat
lantic Club" which brought the milk
on its train, has its headquarters. Mr.
Ward also ventured the information
that he could ship milk any desired
distance, and that it would be just as
sweet on reaching its destination as
on the day of shipment. The expert
ment has been watched with consider
able interest by both dairymen and
milk consumers, all Of whom Will be
greatly rejoiced by the success of Mr..
w ards VENT re.

The Virginia statesman was found
after much trouble, in one of the cloak
rooms surrounded by several Senators.
among them Don Cameron, John A.
Logan and Joe Hawley. With much
trepidation and suffering, the orator
performed his duties and delivered
the floral horn of plenty into the
hands Of the Senator, who feelingly
acknowledged its receipt and thanked
the donor, and then handed it over to
the cOlored man in charge of the cloak
room, with directions to take it to
Mrs. Malone at the Arlington.
The sable messengers first action
was to undo the white satin ribbon
and take off the card on which was
