DIR. Ethel Smyth, the well-known

as she bowed right and left TO the
Awe-struck field, saying repeatedly:

~ In 1890 two more
states were admitted, the first of
which was Idaho, so that during these
two years the manufacturers must
have been kept busy turning out new

The first white explorers were I'M

Inaho was part of Oregon terri
tory, which was jointly occupied by
British and Americans until the
Treaty of 1916 definitely turned over
to the United States the country south
of the 10th parallel. In 1868 Idaho
was organized as territory, with all
area three times the size of the pres
ent state, as it included Montana and
part of Wyoming. The next year Nom
tana was set off for a territory by itr
self, and in 1868 Wyoming was organ
lied so that In 1890 when Idaho was
admitted as the forty-third state OF
the Union, its area was reduced to
S3,SSS square miles. Even so it ranks
as the eleventh state in size.
The rapid settlement Of Idaho was
due to the discovery of gold, the same
cause which so rapidly built up the.
adjacent states. 1t was in 1882 that
gold was found at Occur d'Alene in
the northern part of the state. aRd'

THE STORY OF

WASHINGTON
Z@EIEsM / I'm ins seDfy the Ds E fortR.
nv "A NN second state of the
Nh 49, mAUnion, is tied up
aA ssM lSNwith two of our
Wy M L.XPresidents. The first
Ma58eS%SW is obvious, for 1t was
$SAINS in honor of our first
President, George Washington, that
the state was named, as lasting me-
mortal to this great soIdier-statesman
But the actual fate of this region was
due to President Polk, and formed the
main issue in his campaign for cleo
ton in 1874
Previous TO that time, the country
north of California and extending to
Alaska, which was then owned by
Russia, was called the Oregon terri
tory. Claim was laid to- this. region
by both Great Britain and the United
States as has been seen I'M the story
of Oregon. In 1878 when the boun-
Diary between Canada and the United
States was settled, this line was def
nitely placed from the Atlantic coast to-
the Rocky mountains. But no. agree,
ment could be reached west of that.
and it was left under an arrangement
whereby this territory was to be joint
ly occupied by the British and Ameri-
cans.
Settlers from the United States, be-
gan to come into the Northwest in
such numbers that the United States
felt that they should own this section,
which included the present states of
Oregon and Washington, and British
Columbia, through the right of posses
sion. Agitation in favor of actively
pushing our claims became so strong
that when Polk was nominated by the
Democrats in 1914, one of the main
planks in the party platform was the
famous one popularity called "Fifty-
four forty or fight This meant that
the United States was determined to
annex this territory as far north as
Parallel 81 degrees 40 minutes, which
was the lower boundary of Alaska, or
fight for its possession. Like many
party planks, this one was not fol-
lowed, although Polk was elected. In
stead in 1916 peaceful settlement
was made with England on q comprO-
mise basis, which made the boundary
run along the 10th parallel, and thuB
was added to the United States an
area equal to six times the size of
New York state.
In 1853 Washington territory was
separated from Oregon. 1t did not,
however, become a state until 1889,
and then only after thirteen years pc
titiOning for admission.
