Ia the celebrated county OF Pike, very
small remnant Of which is the we'll.
known county Of Missouri, Of the same
name. The fact is historical, however,
and tends TO show that the inhabitants
of Washington are closely related to the
Missourians, territorislly at least. The
st. Louis Republican says: "The county
OF Pike is older than the state OF Missouri
itself, having been laid out in 1919.
The town of Louisiana was laid out in the
same year, so that Louisiana, Mo-. and
the state OF Pike came into history at

government established Pike county its
southern boundary was the northern line
OF st. Charles county. The western line
was along the divide between the Missis.
sippi and Missouri rivers, to the extreme
northern line of the territory OF Upper
Louisiana, and extended to the Pacific
coast on the west, and to the 49th degree
OF north latitude.
