,HOW NORTHWEST WAS SAVED|

~UT for the foresight of mission
TX ary. the United States would have
~ traded" to Great Britain that
immense territory that now forms two
of the greatest states of the northwest
Oregon and Washington.
Marcus Whitman had 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 1t was impossible for
emigrants to cross the mountains in
wagons.
At dinner given in 1912. at which
DR.. Whitman and several Of the COM
pany's chief officers were present. news
was received that a band of British
emigrants had crossed the mountains
Toasts were drunk in honor of the
event. Now the Americans may
whistle: the country is ours! one OF
the Englishman exclaimed. jubilantly.
But Whitman thought otherwise. The
next day he started for Washington on
horseback. He made the journey in
winter. and with frozen limbs called on
Daniel Webster, then Secretary OF
state. Upon his presentation Of the
case Whitman was gruff1y told by
Webster that the country was worth
less, and that he, as Secretary Of State.

HospitaI Imperfections.
From the Medical Times.

From the Medical Times.
We are very proud of our hospitals
but we must not be blind to their
shortcomings Nor must we be blind
to the fact that there are altogether
too many people in hospitals. That. OF
course, is largely due to our bad eco
nomic and industrial systems. Bad
housing, preventable occupational dis
eases, alcoholism and many other op-
probria of the present social order ac-
count for many of our sins against
the laws of health. The hospital itself
often falls short with respect to the
care OF venereal cases. the 1nsanities.

the character and pay of orderly serv-
ice, and on many other counts. Really
we are still in the dark ages with re-
spect to the hospital. But every year
sees a nearer approach to what should
be, and the ideals are not lost sight
of by any one.

They don't hatch anything but

The man who believes in nothing
scratched his head. He seemed to be
puzzled. Finally he made his answer.

he.
This seemed answer at all: yet
vaguely the phrase impressed itself
on the Observer. 1t was an answer
the only answer, in fact, that could
be given.

, was about to trade that worthless
region" for valuable concessions with
reference to the Newfoundland fish
cries.
Finding that treaty had already
! been approved by the Senate and was
| awaiting the formal ratification and
proclamation by President Tyler. DIR.
Whitman sought the President When
the missionary had finished his story
| the President said:
Sir, your frozen limbs attest your
sincerity. Can you take emigrants
across the mountains in wagons?"
Give me six months and l will take
| one thousand across" said the doctor.
If you can take them across" said
President Tyler. "the treaty will not
be ratified"
In 1s43 band of emigrants, under
the guidance of DIR. Whitman, started
from Missouri for Oregon. deputa-
tion from the Hudson Bay Company
met them on the plains, advising them
that it was impossible for them to
cross the mountains in their wagons.
The emigrants decided to leave their
wagons and finish the journey on
horseback.
AS this course would have ruined
Whitman's plan OF saving the country
to the United States. he labored with
the leaders of the band until they
consented to follow the doctors ad-
vice and guidance. The band did cross
the mountains in wagons. the treaty was
not ratified and the fertile northwest was
saved to the United States.

which are really portraits of place"
are the work of Miss Mary Helen Car
Isle. an English artist, who is at
present visiting this country.
Miss Carlisle, who first became known
as miniature painter, came to Ameri-
ca few years ago for part of a
season and went to California. 1t was
there that she began her garden
studies. having always had a love for
flowers and being greatly attracted by
the wealth of blossom to be found in
the gardens on the Pacific slope. Two
of her California pictures are now be-
ing shown in the fine art department of
the Panama-Paciffc exposition. One of
these is her Poppy Field in SPRING
time" to which the Mcmillan prize was
awarded in New York last year.
From California Miss Carlisle went
to Newport, and there she painted
some of the marvellous formal gardens
surrounding the great mansions so
typical of this famous resort. With
these she returned to England and held
an exhibition. which attracted very
wide attention One of those who be-
came specially interested was the Prin-
cess Louise, Duchess of Argyle, and it
was at her suggestion and through her
assistance that Miss Carlisle undertook
to paint a series of the historic gardens
of England. These are for the most
part closed to the public, and In some
instances Miss Carlisle is almost the
only person outside of royalty who has
been allowed permission to see them.
One garden gate was, in fact. only
opened to her upon order of the king.
But all this would signify very little
if the pictures themselves were not ar
tistically worthy. Even accuracy such
as photograph is supposed to possess
would not be sufficient. Miss Carlisle's
paintings have this accuracy, but they
have more. being interpreted from an
artists viewpoint.
All of the smaller pictures in this ex-
hibition will be found to be in pastel. a
medium which the artist especially
likes on account o fthe possibility it
affords of getting quick effects. BY
no other means, she says. could she
render as she does some exceedingly
transient evening effects The larger
pictures are in oils.
There are about twenty of the Eng

lish garden pictures to be included in
this collection: and with them and
other works will be shown fifteen or
more pictures of Scotch and Irish gar
dens which have not been previously
exhibited.
These were painted last summer, in
spite of the war, when, it will be re-
membered, there were unprecedented
weeks of remarkably fair Wather. Miss
Carlisle and her sister began their tour
in Ireland and motored as rapidly as
possible from place to place, going first
to the famous places in the south of
the Emerald Isle and gradually max
ing their way north.
Arriving on the northeast coast. mo-
tor and tourists took boat to Scotland,
where the journey was continued.
Burns birthplace was the first Scotch
place painted. and then followed Sc
ries of gardens of famous castles, in
cluding Skibo. owned by Andrew Car
ne gle: Cawder. Glamis, Airlie, Balmoral
and Drummond.
Among the places visited and pictured
in Ireland We're Sir Walter Raleigh's
home, on which estate tobacco and po-
tatoes were first grown; Killarney
house, Valencia Island. Derreen, Lis
more Castle, etc. Miss Carlisle had
special permission to visit and paint
most of these places through the kind
ness and interest of friends, among
them the king and the Duchess of Ar
gyle.
Such tour must have been full of
delights. and it is indeed fortunate that
the one to whom the privilege was ac-
corded had the power through her
paintings to pass on the pleasure to
