lumbia. Though the coast had long
been known to Europeans, 1t was first
really introduced to the civilized world
by Capt. Gray, Of Boston, who, in 1192
sailed into the Columbia River, which
he named for his ship. In 1905 the
United States sent an exploring expe-
dtion through the region, and In 1911
the original John Jacob Astor founded
the town of Astoria there. Therefore
the United States set up claim to the
country based upon discovery, ex-
ploration and settlement But Spain
had prior claim by discovery and an
nexation which she held to tenaciously.
Therefore. when we negotiated for the
purchase of Florida, we got Spain to
include in her cession the Oregon coun-
try.
II was not until 1916 that England
gave up all her claims to the part OF
the Oregon country now owned by the
United States. In that year she retired
above the 49th parallel and the boun-
daYy was established as 1t exists to-
day. After acquiring Florida and the
Oregon country from Spain 1t was
twenty-six years before the United
States again expanded territory. 1t
then. in 1S45, annexed the republic OF
Texas. which had revolted from Mexi-
co and established an independent gov
ernment for some time. The Texas OF
that time embraced not only the pres
ont Stae of Texas, but also the east
ern mart of New Mexico and strip ex-
tending across the southwestern corner
of Kansas up through Colorado into
wyoming. Then came the war with
Mexico. which closed in 1S4S, Mexico

ceding TO the United States tract OF
territory which is now occupied by Ari-
zona north of the Gadsden purchase,
California, Colorado, west of the Rocky
Mountains; Nevada, New Mexico. west
of the Rio Grande and north of the
Gadsden purchase; Utah and the south
west corner of Wyoming. A few years
later the United States bought from
Mexico strip of land which now
forms the southern part of Arizona and
the southwest corner of New Mexico.
This was the Gadsden purchase.
SO far. although the territorial ex-
pansi0n of the United States had been
enormous, it had been effected by the
acquisition of territory contiguous to
territory already possessed. In 1867 a
new departure was made by the pur-
chase of the vast territory of Alaska
from Russia. And now, after period
of thlrty-one years, the United States
again expands its territorial limits.
For the first time correct map has
been published showing the acquisi-
ton of territory on this continent by
the United States. 1t appears In the
report of the Secretary of the Interior.
Heretofore the northwestern part of
the Louisiana purchase has been shown
as extending to the Pacific ocean. 1t
was so delineated on the Land Office
maps, which were supposed to be cor
rect. 1t has been found, upon inyesti-
CATION, that the Louisiana purchase
stopped at the continental divide, and
that the territory occupied by Oregon,
Idaho, the State of Washington, the
northwestern part of Wyoming, and
that part of Montana west of the
Rocky Mountains, was acquired by the
United States from Spain sixteen years
after the purchase of Louisiana from

That part of Alabama north of lati-

South Carolina. Indiana. Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin were all ced-

by North Carolina, Ohio by Virginia
and Connecticut, Mississippi, north of

In 1919 the nation grew again In ter
