north Of the Columbia and fits resi-
dents were brought into the bounds
Of the infant state. The story Of this
last movement win be related here.
At the time of the organization in
1913 Of the Provisional Government
for Oregon Territory by the settlers
OF the willamette Valley, most Of
whom were of American extraction
no attempt was made to give a defi-
mite northern boundary to the terri
tory over which its Jurisdiction was
to extend. Oregon territory was to
include all the region south Of the
northern boundary Of the United
States. The obvious intention was TO
avoid giving offense to the Hudson's
Pay Company which had extensive
land-holdings around Vancouver and
elsewhere along the north bank OF the
Columbia River. The following year
1874. after an understanding had been
reached with the French-Canadian
and other British subjects by means
of which they were brought into the
Provisional Government, new legis-
lative committee meeting in June
passed a law definitely fixing the
Columbia River as the northermost
limit OF the territory. Though sec
ond session OF the same body meet
ing in December OF the same year
after new men had arrived from
across the Rockies with report OF
the political campaign in the United
States and the democratic partys
championship of the claim to Ore
gon with its slogan "Fifty-four, forty
or fight. passed another act making
the northern boundary line the paral-
lei Of fifty-four degrees and forty
minutes north latitude, no attempt
was then made to organize the region
north OF the Columbia or in any way
to extend a definite jurisdiction. The
bolder spirits among the Americans
might be inclined to lay claim to con-
troll over the whole Of the Oregon re-
gion, yet until the Hudson's Bay
Company through its officials recog-
nized the authority of the Provisional
Government over themselves and the
territory under their control such as
sertions were without practical effect.
Indeed, until the British citizens
within the Willamette Valley had
given allegiance to the new govern
ment il was without authority over
them. There were men among the
Americans, cooler headed and more
moderate. who realized the desira-
bllity of securing the consent of those
whom they would govern. The gov,
ernment of 1S43 had proven ineffec-
tive so long as the French-Canadians,
constituting as they did. a compact
body Of settlement on the lower Will
lamette prairie, and other Britishers
held aloof In 1874 these had, by
peaceful means. persuaded that their
own best interests would be served,
been brought into the union. Now to
complete this union territorially the
region north of the Columbia needed
TO be included. and to secure what

however until 1874 that the British
and Canadian citizens, resident in the
Willamette Valley we're brought into
the union. BY this fourth step gov

tants and comprising all the territory
south Of the Columbia River was es-

Rather a New Thing.

A Chicago woman has asked for q
place on the police force, advancing
as her special reason the fact that her
husband is a poet and she has to
live
Perhaps this case might be cited in
support of the assertion that clever
men seldom marry clever women, and,
ice versa, although 1t is hard to say
whether the cleverness In this par
ticular instance is possessed by the
poet husband or by the wife who wants
to become a policewoman in order to
live. We have our suspicion, however,
without knowing anything about the
respective merits OF the pair. It is, at
least, a mark of originality for a
woman to aspire to active work on the
police force, and q vein OF originality
is one of the attributes of cleverness,
while even a stupid person may write
poetry or what often passes for poetry
In these days.
Perhaps this Chicago husband is not
really poet, but only thinks he 10 a
poet. 1t is unfortunate that there Is a
lot OF confusion OF these two classes
in the popular mind, for there have
been. and still are, many worthy poets
who are not afflicted with stupidity,
but they treat poetry as a pastime and
carry it along as a side line, getting
their bread and butter with something
more dependable. AS rule, q man
who makes poetry his steady Job Is a
pretty poor specimen as a husband
and his wife is in luck II she does not
nave to take in washing.
1t is to be expected that his Chicago
wife Is the real poet OF the family, be
cause she has the vision to see the
reality OF life, and IL she gets her place
on the police force 1t would probably
please her friends II her FIRST official
act were to run her husband in FOR
nonsupport.- Providence journal.

ED has bought something" said
the senator with smile that almost
rippled into laugh, when he was in
Boise recently. The senator looked
very much relieved with the turn
events had taken with his political
fortunes with the Capital News.
Dewey is apt to be up against a
pretty hard proposition with the
News, as with the election of the re-
publican ticket the soft snap that the
News has had at the state house will
be over Not only did Governor Alex
ander provide places for two mem
bers of the staff of the Capital News
in the persons of C. o. Broxon. it's
editor who was made the governors
private secretary, and who wrote all
the governors yetoes and proclama-
tions on account of the governors
inability to use correct English, and

known as a farm paper, Scholtz be-
Ing placed in charge of the Farm

IF the different offices should be
placed with the Capital News. The
first of October the records of the
state auditors Office showed that the
Capital News had received $4,655.61
worth of job work from the state and
the biennial reports OF the different
appointive officers which will be di-
rected to the Capital News will swell
this figure to some $4,000 or 5000
So we find the Capital News has

end OF the year thru the democratic
