UNCLE SANS EXPANSION
Various Steps in the Growth and Elk
pansion OF the United States.

Tho territorial expansion of the United
States since the close of the war for in
dependence has been as marvellous as the
industrial growth and the increase in pop
ulntton. To-day the total area of the
States Territories and colonial posses
sions is fully live times what it was
when the peace treaty was signed with
Great Britain in 1893.
The United States. 12O years ago. was
comparatively land poor. stretching east
and west from the Atlantic ocean to the
mississippi rN or ana from the Canada
line south to Florida, but not including
Florida. Hundreds of thousands of square
miles of the best soil for agriculture in
the world, lying beyond "the father Of
waters mines rich with metals. and
the hurborS OF The Pacific coast belonged
neither to the government nor its people.
Forty-lVe such States as are now rep
resented upon The flag each by the star,
could not have been carved from the
territory within the boundaries at the
time OF the birth of the,nation.
Ihe region now known as Washing
ton and Oregon was claimed early by
right Of discovery and exploration. Capt
Robert Gray, IA Boston trader reached
the Columbia river in 1892. and that river
was named after the vessel in which he
sailed
france was the owner of the great prov
NICE OF Louisiana at the beginning OF
the l9lh century. Suddenly the privilege
of dcpositing merchandise at New Orleans
III Which Americans had been secure by
common consent. was withdrawn. This
interruption of the commerce of the Mis-
siSsippi river produced n great commo-
tlon IN the United States. President JEFF
ferson, alive to the interests, independ-
ehcc and power of his country, suggested
mat the French cede IA portion of Louis
lana, especially the island of New Orleans
to the United StatcsJ and thus remove
all cause of irritation between the two
governments. That suggestion led to the
purchase OF the entire domain by the Uni
ted States for $l5,0O0000 in 1903 From
the province of Louisiana came the States
OF Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi iowa,

Florida was a 10-strike for peace and
security. Shortly. q in 1919 the Spanish

structions from home, signed Il treaty for

DROW NED In The LAKE
George H. Kslley's Body Found
Friday Afternoon.
Missing Since Thursday Noon and Ia Be :.
lieved to Have Been Despondent
over Death OF His Mother-Was
80 Years Old.

The body of George W. Kelley of North
avenue. who has been missing since
Thursday noon, was recovered about 4
o'clock Friday afternoon Il few rods
south of the Crane Lumber company's
dock. The body was found by David
Ploof and Henry DAILY in about IL feet of
water.
Mr.. Kelley had acted strangely for the
past week and since the illness and death
of his mother. 1T is believed that he be-
came Respondent over her death lie left
the house shortly before noon Thursday
saying that he was going to the grocery
store. He was met at the lower end of
North street by his father, John .. Kel-
ley, who asked him if he had been to din
ner. He responded that he had and Mr.
Kelley, ST., proceeded to his home. When
he did not return the family became
alarmed and began a thorough search but
nothing was found that would give any
clcw TO his whereabouts until yesterday
forenoon. At that time his brothcr-in-law
was walking along the dock just west of
the Standard Oil Co.'S plant and found a
nat near cluster Of trees, which he at
once Identified as belonging to the miss
ing man.
when the belief that Nclleys body was
in the lake became known d young man
named T.. Lamora said that he remember
ed seeing him come down the hill
through some pine trees, just north Of
what is known as the gully" about
noon Thursday. searching party was
Immediately formed and the lake was
dragged for some distance.
When the body was recovered there was
only slight cut on the nose. 1t is under
stood that Kelley had suffered much of
late with spinal trouble and that he was
subject TO violent attacks of nervousness.
The theory is advanced that while in one
OF these attacks he lost control of him
self and fell into the water. He was IL
constant attendant upon his mother dur
ing her last illness and the shock of her
death WAS undoubtedly severe.
Mr.. Kelley was about IS years Of age
and was formerly II resident of Rutland.
He is survived by his father two brothers.

! Texas broke away from Mexico, hav-
ing achieved its Independence by force

tons in 1873 to the president of Texas for
its annexation to the United States, and
the union was effected in ISIS. In 1850

claim to all territory beyond its present
| limits (2il356 square miles) in consdcra-
| ton of $l0000.0o0 in bonds. with the pro-
ceeds of which the State debt was paid.
The annexation of Texas. as had been
predicted led to "A war with Mexico, and
a result of the conflict was the first Next

country the territory now comprised in
California, Arzonia, Utah and part of
New Mexico and Nevada.
The Gadsdcn treaty was negotiated with
Mexico in 1885, and by it the United States
secured 1900 square miles of land which
