wisdom of such action is also com.
mended by the two British military
Officers. Warre and Vavasour, who
express the opinion that "a more judi.

prosperity of the community al

Immediately full advantage Of the
laws of the association. in regard to
land claims" was taken and the
country around Vancouver surveyed
and plated into nine lots. each of one
square mile. These were registered
in the office of the recorder of the
territory under the names Of officers
and employees of the company to be
held for 1t. The requirements OF the
law as to survey. markings. and
building of hut on each plot were
complied with. Thus the company
was assured of means of ejecting an
intruder upon its lands by thorough
ly legal methods. All other lands
used by the company could be cover
ed by registered title in the same
way.
The life of the Provisional Govern

whole of the Oregon territory was 20
he too brief to determine whether all
the benefits to the Hudson's Bay
Company anticipated by Mclaughlin
were to be fulfilled. In the next year
the boundary dispute between Great
Pritain and the United states was set

S226.65. Since the agreement for the
union was not made until August the
officials of the company had appar-
emily agreed to be taxed on the sales
Of merchandise for the whole year.
The amount contributed by the COM
pany was about a fourth of the ex-
Penses of the Provisional Government
during the preceding year and two
thirds as much as that raised from all
sources during 1874. Thus It will be
seen the entrance OF the Hudson's
Bay Company and the contributions
it made by way of taxes went far tow
ards assuring the stability Of the new
government
Nor was it altogether a one-sided
bargain. To Mclaughlin it was a
