HE SAVED THREE STATES.
Result OF Stormy Meeting In Oregon Territory
In 1643.

A few words of hurried conversation between
two French settlers had an important part IN
deciding the question whether the Tar northwest

ton Oregon and Idaho were formed should pc
long to Great Britain the United states. a
monument at Champoeg on the Willamette river,
now marks the spot where this interesting epl-
sode took place. Theodore T. Geer, formerly
governor of Oregon, tells about 1t In his DOOR,
Fifty Years in Oregon" and quotes from the
story of F. x. Matthew, who saved the day for
the United States says the Youths Companion.
On a cloudy May day in 1843 102 settlers and
Hudson Bay trappers, coming from near and
far crowded into log building at Champoeg, and
held stormy meeting. The Americans stood for
an organized government and acquisition OF the
territory by the United States. The Hudson Bay
men stood firmly opposed. and when vote
was taken it was hard to tell which had won,
since a good many on both sides were crowded
about the DOORS unable to push their way inside.
A division was called for and to make this
possible the men rushed out to the little half
acre field in front of the building There every
body began gesticulating frantically and discus
sing the situation with great excitement.
"All in favor of the organization follow me-"
shouted Joe Meek the famous pioneer and hunter,
striding to side.
The Americans followed to man. count
disclosed the fact that there were so men with
Meek and so opposed with two men, both French
men, between the opposing forces not taking sides
and engaged in a very earnest conversation.
One of these, Etienne Lucier. had been led to be-
1eve that heavy taxes would be levied on all prop

difference will it make? And it isn't so anyway -
The suspense lasted but few moments Then
the two men turned and took their places with
the Americans. While hats were flying in the
air and handshaking going on the defeated

away, leaving the other party to organize a gov.
