Oregon North of the Columbia River
First Acts of Federal Jurisdiction.


In previous numbers the progress
of American occupancy of Oregon
Territory north of the Columbia river
has been traced and an idea afforded
of the population and position of
settlements. In this article we pro-
pose to record the incidents attend
ing the first exercise of federal au-
thority over the Territory, by virtue
of it's then being embraced within
the jurisdiction of the territorial
government of Oregon, which all will
remember was established by act of
congress approved August IA, 184S.
General Joseph Lane was appoint
ed governor and ex-officio superin-
tendent of Indian affairs, who, with
Joseph l.. Meek, the first U. s. mar
shall, crossed the plains and arrived
at Oregon City March 2, 1849. Hon.
w. P. Bryant was appointed chief
justice and James Turney and Peter
H. Burnett associate justices, all
being commissioned August IA, 184S.
Mr.. Bryant accepted the appoint
ment. VIM. A. Hall was commits
stoned in place of Turney Septem-
Der 1, 1S4S, but resigned November
%, when Hon. o. c. Pratt was ap-
pointed.
The proclamation of Governor
Lane dividing the territory into judi

cial districts and assigning the Judges
was dated May 90 1S49. The comfy
OF Vancouver, with several counties
south of the Columbia, constituted
the first judicial district, to which
was assigned Chief Justice BRYANT.
TO the second, lying wholly south of
the Columbia river, was assigned
Hon. o. c. Pratt. Lewis county
alone constituted the third district
and continued without a Judge until
September II, 1S49, when Hon.
William Strong was appointed to
succeed Hon. Peter H. Burnett.
Federal Authority Withheld.
This statement is essential to ap-
preciate the condition of the Puget
Sound country at this time. Though
included within an organized terri
tory of the United States early in
1S49, not an officer clothed with fed
eral or military authority was pres
ent to afford protection to the set
tiers or keep in subsection the large
number of Indians then living on
these waters.
We now recur to April, 1849, to
detail an incident which had much to
do towards securing the presence of
United States troops for the protec-
ton of the settlers north of the
Columbia river.
In the latter part of this month
Snoqualmie Indians made en- attack
upon the Hudson Boy Co. at Fort
Nesqually. Patkanim, their chief,
was inside the fort, engaged in con-
versation with DR.. VIM. F. Tolmie,
the agent in charge, who had or
dered the gates closed and forbidden
any of the other Indians to enter.
Tho Indians, numbering about 60,
armed and painted as war party,
approached in hostile party. hal
looing as they came. Chas. Wren,
Mr.. Wallace, an American and a
casual visitor at the fort, and an
other white man were outside the
stockade, having just left an Indian
tent. Seing their danger, they kept
their faces toward the approaching
Indians and retreated towards the
gates. Wren stood with his back
against the gate, trying to edge in.
Walter Ross, clerk, and an Indian
inside were on guard and would not
open the gate.
Wallace Is Killed.
This Indian fired his gun upward
for the purpose OF cleaning it to re-
load, which the Snoqualmies pre-
tended to construe as a defiance.
The brother Of Patkanim advanced
and fred. killing Wallace. Wren
mcde another effort then to get in
and - he passed through the gate
was fred at but escaped, the shot
killing an Indian boy inside the gate.
The bastions were then instantly
manned, volley was fired and the
Indians hastily retreated.
Upon tho news of this outrage
being communicated to Governor
Lane, he visited the Puget Sound
country, arriving at New Market
May II, 1849. As two companies of
United States troops (1st Artillery
arrived about this time at Fort Van
couver, Governor Lane returned to
the Columbia river. In June, 1849,
Fort Vancouver was established as q
military. post. In July one company
list Artillery was dispatched to
the Sound and they commenced the
occupation Of Fort steilacoom on the
9th of August, 1S49.

so. But in the case OF the president

PATIENCE AND FoRBEARANcE
MISTAKEN FOR coWARDIcE

The following article written by
Cardinal Gibbons is issued by the
committee on public information:
Aas an evidence of the righteous.
ness of Americas cause in the war,
would point to the patience of our
president and congress under the long
series OF grave injuries and broken
pledges endured by the United States
during the time that Germany was pro.
Tossing its friendship for US. We were
shocked to see our property injustly
destroyed in vast quantity, but what
was immcasurably more serious, to
read OF our men, women and children
killed in violation of the universally
accepted customs OF the sea.
When at length not only American
citizens but neutrals everywhere suf-
fcred appailingly under the crueltes
Of nation which hcsitatcd not to dis.
regard international law we learned
that patience was being construed as
Cowartlice, and that it was folly to
hope that wiser counscls would prevail
among our enemies to bring about
change in their lawless policy. Then
We took the only course open to US,
the defense of our sovereign rights
as a nation and the unfolding of the
ideals of truth and justice in the
hearts of all peoples.
We have entered into the struggle
with a clean conscience, seeking no
territorial or financial gain, but the
peace of the world, the liberty of its
people, and the security OF all nations.

PERSHiNG'S ARMY

General Pershing's army in France
is the healiest army in the world.
1t will encourage parents and wives

know that the men of our fightinl
force over here will be less liable tC
sickness this winter than they would
be were they following civil pursuits
in America.
The chief medical officer OF a brig
ade had letter the other day from
the mother OF one of the enlisted mer
in his organization.
I'm worried all the time that my
boy will get SICK" she wrote. "Hc

He joined the army before he got his
strength back, | thought"

mans boy" said the army surgeon
We walked to the outskirts of 4
tiny French village, where an army
blacksmith shop was in full swing.
1t was mule day." and red-blood
ed American boys were, with amaz
ing skill, putting shoes on Missouri
mules that were full of original sin
In one group four boys had roped
one OF the critters and were sitting
on him while the ffth boy nailed the
shoes in place.
There's that mothers boy" said
the surgeon, indicating the nth boy.
did you ever in your life see n
healthier specimen of 90? He hasn't
had n sick day since he came to
France and he's fifteen pounds
heavier than when he sailed last sum
mer."
Medical science is making il
mighty hard for the American soldier
to get sick.
Whereas during the Spanish-Ameri.
can war about one man In every ten
contracted typhoid fever records show
that only one out of every $4,000 has
or is going to die from the disease.
Smallpox has been stamped out en-
tirely. A boy at home, working in a
stuffy office or factory. has about
five times the chances to contract
pneumonia or tuberculosis as one Of
these healthy young colts who spent
about Is hours a day out of doors.
Every boy, before he came owe
here, was inoculated against typhoid
vaccinated against smallpox and Civ

Venerial diseases now affect les

geon. "the most Respondent people i

Setting aside diseases and consider

a better chance than the soldiers o

mics.
