THE MYSTIC BIRTH OF OREGON.

ditions, others by the promise of
abundant land and equable climate,
and more perhaps because in the
veins flowed the restless blood of the
pioneers, but all came as unconscious
instruments of Providence, imbued
with a determination to plant and
nourish here the seeds of government
proclaimed by the Declaration of In
dependence and the Constitution.
In the ceaseless march of civili-
zation westward from the Aryan birth
place Of the race, the rule has been
unvarying that permanent sovereign
ty follows the family. Armies, ma
vigators and explorers have upon oc-
casion furnished the basis of diplo-
matte claims, but in the end the col
oniZing nations have been triumph
ant. The emigrant trains made Ore
gon American as surely as the settle
ments at Plymouth and jamestown
made the Atlantic colonies English
The treaty Of 1916 finally determ-
ining the boundary line between AM
erica and Canada, was due therefore
not to exploration. discovery, cession
and the introduction Of that civiliza-
ton which belongs alone to family
life as typified in the white race. The
nation owes a supreme debt to the
pioneers who followed the footsteps
of Lee and Whitman across the con-
tinent to throw open the doors of
church and school, to unfurl the stars
and stripes in the breezes of the Pa
cific, to be found a state and to
weave the fabric of government.
When the ultimate Hall OF Fame is
builded here the central pictures up
on the four walls will be, first the

Five nations asserted dominion over
the Oregon Country in the dawn of
its history,-Spain, then regal alike
in territory and power: Russia, in
spired by the broad vision and limit
less ambition of Peter, the Great;
France, scintiliating with the unrival-
led splendor OF the Napoleonic era;
England, then as now Mistress of the
seas; and finally the nascent Ameri-
can republic.
There Is no chapter in the long
story of the race which more clearly
discloses the guiding hand of Provi-
dence I'm the affairs of men than that
which portrays the march and coun-
ter-march of nations upon the North
Pacific shore. Under the accepted
laws whic governed the age of dis
covery land whose expanse excee3s
ed France and Italy combined might
have become the rich heritage of
either of the four great powers nam
ed. The disputed zone extended from
ward to near the 55th parallel and
from the ocean eastward to the ter
ritory afterwards denominated the
Louisiana Purchase, and was an open
field, bright with promise to the col
onist, hal colonization been encour-
aged It's area included what is now
known as the Canadian Province of
British Columbia, the states of Ore
gon Washington, Idaho, and parts of
Montana and Wyoming
After telling at length the events
which eliminated the claimants to this
vast territory one by one, Judge Low
edd's Grafton continues:
The die was cast for ultimate Am
erican triumph, when in 1886 the
wives of Marcus Whitman and Henry
Spaulding crossed the twilight zone
and entered the Columbia valley as
the representatives OF the home. Ex-
allied as was their humanitarian pur-
pose, lofty as was their personal cour-
age, their example counted most be-
cause in their successful journey be-
side their husbands. they gave to the
world n fact which silenced forever
the diligently circulated falsehoods OF
the Hudson Bay people, and from that
date the highway of emigration was
opened from the Missouri to the west
ern ocean never again to be closed
The swish of a Caucasian woman's
skirts had at once broken the grip
of the British Empire and paralized
the rule of fur. The canny Scots up
on the ground soon grasped the stu
alton, and urged a reversal of the
ancient policy of their company
Canadian emigrant trains were ever
arranged, but their movement came
too late The route from the Mis-.
sissippi Valley was open, and alonl
the historic trail from every quarter
of the republic men and women wer,

in the line of march of the dominant
race westward, facing the greatest
ocean and the greatest continent of
the world. With the union of the
seas at Panama the commerce of the
Pacific must early rival, and prob
ably surpass, that of the Atlantic and
upon these shores will be bu!lded
some of the create seaports of the
world Such was the design of Ma
ture, and in preserving oregon for
America let us believe that Provi-
dence intended that here is an equable
climate, with a fertile soil, and up
on almost limitless navigable waters,
there should be a patriotic, progress
sive and tolerant people, dedicated
alike to principles of religion and
liberty at home, and their impress
upon the nations of Asa and the Is
lands of the sea.

 Asked To He'p
EFFORT MADE TO GET HIM TO TAKE A HAND IN FIGHT TO EXTERMINATE GLAND FRS WHICH IS DESTROYING VALU- ABLE HORSEFLESH IN NEW HAVEN.

New Haven. Nov. 16.-That Cover nor Baldwin has been asked to step in to check the epidemic of glanders at present raging among horses in this city, was learned yesterday. A letter was sent to the governor about a week ago by the New Haven Fat Rendering company, stating that within a month Is horses had been symptoms of glanders, and that in many cases the disease had proceeded so far that the animals hides were worthless, as big holes had been eat en right through.
 pr. Frank C. Atwood said that be knew of al least 70 horses that had been brought to fat rendering places in the city and that at least two men had contracted the disease. One of these has gone to New York for treat ment and the other is being treated by doctor here.
 Dr. Atwood believes that where a case of islanders is found the whole stable of horses in which it was should be quarantined. It is stated on excellent authority that when the prevalence of this dis ease was called to the attention Of Governor Baldwin he notified the cat tie commissioner and asked him to act in the matter. It is stated by pr William J. Butler of the health board that up to the present time MT. Ayerill has made no attempt to fight the epidemic.

In New Haven, yesterday, propos- ed bond issues, totaling s850.0Oo, were defeated in a special election by majorities ranging from 305 to sS1. in a poll of slightly more than 4.000.
 The decision of the people is fol- lowed, after the usual fashion, by the wailing of Heading citizens. po- litical bosses, and public servants who advocated bonding and who wanted to spend the money.
 They all make the same complaint. that only some 25 per cent. of the people of New Haven voted on the bonds.
 For that. they should be grateful. The greater the vote the worse the bonds would have been defeated.
 Why?
 Because official New Haven ex- hausted its strength in the vote that was recorded for the bonds. The vote against the bonds. as in m ost such cases, was by the uninf1ueneed judgment of the persons voting.
 Mayor Rice thinks that the people of. New Haven ought to have the bond issues.
 So does Col. Isaac Ullman, the Re publican boss of New Haven.
 The people, as represented by 4,- 900 electors, didn't agree with May or Rice and Col. Ullman.
 In this the people of New Haven proved themselves better economists. better business men and better states men than the gentlemen whom they elected to office.

WOMAN'S INrlUlNGE ON WAR

An evil which has received but lit tie consideration is the influence which women have exercised in per petuating militarism through the spirit of hero-worship displayed to- ward the man who wears a uniform. This is survival of the hereditary adulation accorded a war-successful chief, and the instinct is almost in eradicabIe in the minds of unthink- ing women.
 The male-except in the case of the spider and one or two other spc- cies of animate creation-has always been the pursuer. and nothing more potent than the display of trophies of successful battles has ever been devised to impress the female favor ably in the selection of her mate.
 The Dutch Government has tried for twenty-five years to stamp out ead-hunting' in the Island of Bor- neo, but no drastic measures of re-
