Acting as his own attorney Watson
Today indicated that he would place
upon the government the burden OF
proof that he was responsible for mail
ing the alleged obJcctiouao!n matter.
He stated that ne merely president
Of the corporation which published the

During the second trial he had ad-

Knight. postoffice inspector. who teS-
tified that the issues OF the magazines
IN question went through the malls.
While Knight was On the stand Wat
son sought to have him identify seT-
eral government publications when
the defense claimed the government
had circulated through the mails and
thus had set an example for citizens.
Watson claimed they contained
words similar tO those in the articles
on which he was indicted. All were

Convinced of the benefits to be de-
rived from union Mclaughlin only
needed to act upon the invitation that
had been extended by the Oregon Pro-
visional Government, The way tow
ard union had already been paved by
action of that body.
A first step towards union with the
Hudson's Bay Company officials had
been made in June, 1S45, by the cleo
tion of Frank Ermatinger. manager
Of the company's store at Oregon City
and In official capacity its "Chief
Trader" to the office Of treasurer Of
the Provisional Government. This
was manifestly intended to indicate
to Mclaughlin and his associates the
friendly attitude of the Willamette
valley settlers A second step tow
ards union had been made by the
eAange made in the form of the oath
by which the officials elected in June
were inducted into office The oath
declared an obligation ITO support
the organic laws of the provisional
government Of Oregon, so far as they
are consistent with duties as a citi-
zen of the United States or q subject
OF Great Britain" This oath was
later formally incorporated into the
new constitution adopted by the peo-
pie In July, 1s45, and thus deprived
the Provisional Government Of its for
mer national character. In its ori-
ginal form such provisional govern
mept had seemed to be established
only until such time as the United
States might formally assume iuris-
diction over the Oregon territory and
conceded nothing TO the sentiments Of
citizens of other countries The
changed form Of the oath made It
possible for the Hudson's Bay officials
and other British citizens to Loyalty
support the new organization The

ernment on a more carefully worked
out constitutional plan and the in

Loughlin or the company as contain

union. A better organized govern
mept, with executive, legislative and
judicial departments carefully diff

fully prescribed in a written consti-
tuition that had received approval of

election especially held for the pur-

better guarantees of stability and
strength to enforce its DEGREES than
the more loosely constructed govern

reason be considered as a third step in
the direction of union, Afterwards

especially valuable in war surgery.
Dentists abroad, said Dr..

1t has been found that, due to the
methods OF modern trench warfare,
great number OF the disabled sol

are fractured aud portions OF the
mouth and teeth are shot away The
