Cooperation and competition are
not external qualities belonging 10
some legal frame work or social sys-
TEN, but are dispositions in man. They
cannot be put on or off as occasion
may demand, but are matters of NOR
al and ethical education. So, too. a
true socialism is not matter of po-
litical form. but its location must be
within the heart and consciousness.

The Story Of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XXXIII.-oRECoN
~ IT WAS the
!. J J. !. ]. ]: !. !.
X[@6SSM / S parrish
E!5s zzsSSSA who laid
H:. :N claim to the
: discovery of
NE. III our Pacific
N\e.....// coast. In
as9 1913 Ferrelo
possibly sailed as far North as
the Oregon boundary. In 1879
Sir Francis Drake explored for
England the coast considerably
north Of this. Other Spaniards
made further explorations and
Captain Cook, the English navi-
gator, in 1888 landed at Nootka
Sound and gave it its name.
Thus both Spain and England
laid claim to this region.
The American rights to this
territory were based on the dis
covery of the Columbia river in
1892 by Captain Robert Gray,
who sailed from Boston in the
ship Columbia to open up fur
trade. Many American fur
traders followed and in 1911
John Jacob Astor, the head Of
the Pacific Fur company, estab-
lished a settlement called Aston
ia at the mouth of the Columbia.
The real opening of the North
west was the result of the fam
GUS Lewis and Clark expedi-
tion.
BY 1843 a decided flow Of
emigrants from the East trav-
elled over the Oregon Trail from
Kansas City to the Columbia
river, and thus into Oregon. the
trip over this route occupied
about three months and the set
tiers generally travelled in large
parties to Withstand any pos
sible attacks from Indians.
American settlers became so
numerous that the United States
actively laid claim to this re-
gion. Spain had been forced to
withdraw any rights she may
have had when Florida was
ceded in 1919. This left Eng
land and America quarrelling
over this section of the country.
Final settlement, with definite
boundaries between the United
States and Canada, was made
in 1916.
The Oregon territory was
formed in 1849 and the State Of
Oregon was taken into the I'm
ion in 1859 with an area Of 96,-
500 square miles.
