Marcus Whitman bad crossed the
plains and the mountains to Oregon
and knew from years residence the
value OF the country. he also knew
that the Hudson Bay company was
anxious to obtain possession OF the
whole northwest and had circulated
the report that it was impossible for
emigrants to cross the mountains in
wagons.

British emigrants had crossed the
mountains. Toasts were drunk In hon.

tary of state. Upon his presentation
Of the situation Whitman was grufily
told by Webster that the country was

missionary had finished his story the
president said:
