THEPURCHASE FROM FRANCE
Jefferson, Benton and Other Statesmen Included
Texas and Oregonin Louisiana Territory.

No periodical publication can find room
for the carloads of official documents,
correspondence and records which show
how uniformly and tenaciously the gov
ernment of the United States and the rep
resentatives of our people have con-
tended, since 1903, that the territory
bought from France in that year was
bounded on the south by the Gulf of Mex
leo, from the mouth of the Perdido to the
mouth of the Rio Grande; that the bound
ary further followed this river from its
mouth to its source; thence due north to
the parellel of AZ degrees; thence west
along that parellel to the Pacific; and that
the western boundary was the Pacific from
AZ degrees to 54 degrees 40 minutes north.
France had occupied and explored but
little Of this territory. Conflicting claims
to parts of it, based on discovery of coast
lines, etc, had been asserted by other
hations that had no more occupied and
explored it than France had. 1t was nee
essary to strengthen the title we had OBJ
tained from France, and the work of ex-
ploring, occupying and possessing was
promptly begun. So Mr.. Jefferson sent
out the Lewis and Clarke expedition in
1904, which made the first exploration of
the Missouri river to its sources; then
crossing over the divide" discovered the
Clearwater river, built boats on it's banks
and navigated it to the Snake river, the
