valley in 1884 by the Methodists under
Reverend Jason Ire, were gathered

can farmers.
How Oregon Was Saved TO the United
States.
The immigration Of the pioneers
became important in lS42 when one
hundred and tyenty persons came TO
Oregon with Elijah White, who was
appointed by the United States gov
ernment suh-agent for Indian affairs
west OF the Rock mountains. The
first great neutrality-suspicious. nine
hundred persons-came in lS4S
under leaders like Jesse Applegate,
Peter, II. Burnett, J. w. Nesmith, and
others, This company was followed
in IS44 by a company nearly twice as
large. and this one hv a still larger
company in lS45. so that the VILLA
nette valley. the pioneers land OF
promise" was by the fall OF 1S45
largely occupied by the American
settlers. Some American settlers had
even penetrated the forests north OF
the Columbia as far as Puget Sound.
This was the situation when, after a
long period OF discussion between
Great Britain and the United States,
the British government in the spring
Of ls45 decided to investigate the con-
ditions existing in the Oregon Coun-
try. itself. Their agents found the
Willamette valley already well plant
ed and also found beginning of set
Elements near the present site of Olym-
pia. in Washington. The government
became convinced that the boundary
question, whose settlement had been
deferred from time to time since the
year 1918, must now be settled.
The United States was prepared as
far back as 1918 TO accept as bound
airy between the British and American
territory west of the Rocky noun
tains the forty ninth parallel OF lau-
tude. The British were not satisfied
with that boundary and later, on sew
eral occasions, demanded that the Co
lumbia river itself be made the
boundary from the ocean to tne point
where the forty-ninth parallel ex-
tended westward from the crest OF the
Rocky mountains, would touch the
river. So firmly rooted were the Brit
ish government and people in this de-
mand for the Columbia river bound
airy, that ii required the evidence OF
an unmistakable tendency among Am
orleans to take adverse possession of
the country to convince the British
parliament and the public Of the ne
cessity of abandoning it. The Brit
ish cabinet. under Sir Robert Peel,
finally decided to offer the fOrty-ninth
parallel of latitude drawn to the sea,
but running south and west around
the south end of Vancouver's island
and through De Fuca's strait to the
ocean. On this basis the boundary
question was settled in June. 1916,
and Oregon became definitely a part

of August. 1s4s. But General Joseph
Lane, who was appointed by Presi-
dent Polk to be governor of the Ore
gon territory, was unable to reach
Oregon until the following spring. He
arrived just in time to proclaim the
new territorial government the day
before Polk's administration closed.
Effects Of the California Gold Rush.
When news of the gold discovery
in California reached Oregon, in Au-
gust, 1S48. there were in the territory
about thirteen thousand people, most
" on farms in the Willamette valley.
A few were living along the shores of
Puget sound, a few others along the
Cowlitz and about Vancouver. Sew
eral VILLAGES had started into exist
lence. among them was Portland at
the head of navigation on the lower
willamette, and Oregon City, the old
est and also the largest place in Ore
eon, which had population OF per-
hans eight hundred and was the capt.
tai of the territory. There was little
trade or business Of any kind save
primitive farming and stockraising.
Times were growing duh for the want
OF markets. No one knew exactly
what destiny was in store for the ne"
community on the Pacific. b
The rapid rise of California created
markets for grain, meat and other
foodstuffs, also for lumber. Oregoni-
ans were among the first to visit the
gold fields and to bring home supply
Of tho precious metal. Thus produc-
ton and general commerce increased
hand in hand. farms were extended
and improved, mills and sawmills
built; a spirit Of hopefulness, enter
prise and progress took hold of the
people.
Meanwhile, population Increased
more rapidly than before and 1t now
spread into new districts like the val

men, schooled to self government in
the western states, met together and
appointed a supreme judge with
probate powers" Two years later, on
the second day of May, 1S43, a more
| complete government was organized
I by the American part of the settlers
in the willamette valley. The meet
ing at which this government was
fra med was held at Champoeg, place
near the Willamette river a few miles
below Salem full set of officers
was elected at this meeting and the
business of government set in opera
ton under a constitution or compact
agreed to by the settlers. But the
vote in favor of an organization was
extremely close. F'ifty-twO persons,
| 1t is said, were counted in favor, while
fifty French Canadian settlers were
! opposed. The latter were under the
influence of the Hudson Bay Com
pany and was unwilling to foster any
movement that might tend to fix the
hold of the Americans upon the coun-
try.
The following year the Hudson Bay
Company, seeing the need of some
sort OF effective government, with
drew it's opposition and now the Ca
madam settlers Joined the Americans
| in the Willamette valley in reorgani-
zing their provisional government. A
| further reorganization occurred in the
year 1845. At this time the officers
| and members of the Hudson Bay
| Company, them selves, headed by Doc
tor John McLoughlin, agreed to come
under the jurisdiction of the govern
ment set up by the American set
tlers-to abide by the laws, to pay
taxes toward it's support, and to seek
the protection OF the courts establish
ed under the new constitution. To Mr..
Jesse Applegate, a pioneer Of 1S43,
and man of great personal energy,
| intelligence and worth, belongs the
credit OF effecting this new organi-
zation and of bringing the English
company's leaders into it.
The Territory of Oregon.
When in June, 1916, the treaty with
| Great Britain gave Oregon definitely
to the United States, it was supposed
that a territorial government would
| be at once formed by congress. This,
however. was not done for more than
two years. Meantime, the provisional
government established by the set
tiers themselves maintained peace and
order within the settlements, and nm
ally was compelled to carry on a
bloody war against the Cayuse Indi-
ans, who, in November. 1847. perpe-
trated the horrible Whitman massa-
ere.
The provisional government, in
short, remained in effect and ans
wered all the ends of a good govern
ment'' until March 3, 1849. bill
creating the territory Of Oregon was
passed by congress on the fourteenth

The Oregon Provisional Government


The Oregon Provisional Government
For many years there was no civil
government in oregon other than that
exercised by the Hudson Pay Com
pany; some of these men had the
power of justices under the laws OF
Canada When Americans began
coming to the country, a different
government was soon demanded. IN
1871. on the death of a settler, Ewing
Young. a first attempt at a provision
al government was made by the Am
erican settlers. The chief need felt
was for a probate court which could
take care of the property of the de-
ceased. So these American frontiers

RBMANIANS ARE
 BEING DEPORTED
 BY THE GERMANS
Retaliation Is Pretext Given When Protest Made Against the
 Movement.

PARIS, Feb. IA The Rumanian minister of foreign affairs telegraphed to the Rumanian legation in Paris that Germany has begun to trans port for internment to Germany all Rumanian males from 16 to 67 years oI age. although the French, Rus sians, Italians and Portugueso, pro. tected by the Spanish legation, are being left in the country.
 "Thls treatment, so the Germans say" reads the telegram, lis be- cause Rumania gave up to Russia the Germans in it's power, and that these were transported to Siberia. It is absolutely false that Rumania has ever delivered German sub jects to Russia,
 "The German government itself counts so little upon the pretext in- .voked that before announcing its de- cision to transport Rumanians to Germany it proposed to the Ruman- ian government the exchange of Ger mans interned in Rumania for Ru- manians in Belgium
 "The Rumanian goyernmen can do nothing but protest against this new attack upon the rights by appealig to the universal conscience, which at the proper time will aid Rumania in exacting all the cOmpensatiOns due"

COLD SHIPPED
 TO ARGENTINE
 PAYS FOR WOOL
Currency Sent South on Three Steamers Was Not for Raiders of

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb 14, - The Ausable, the first of the three steam ships which left here at intervals during the last two months with consignments of gold for South America, has arrived at Buenos Ay- res, according to advices received here.
 It is learned on unimpeachable au- thorlty that the gold on the Ausable, as well as that on the other two shipa the Woumee and Winnebago is intended to pay for the large part of the wool crop of Argentina, which has been bought by American and British interests.
 It was inadvertently stated in a previous dispatch from Baltimore that the gold was intended for the German raiders operating off the coast of South America.
