The Story Of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XXXIII.-OREGON
GaEzSsM S pan s'h
A%z1AszgAA who laid
E:h,-4r:YO claim to the
Ia: .ssses:N discovery of
\\.&SEs~z..Z% our Pacific
S&.::.~ coast. In
&a~ 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 1t 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
1902 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 Aston, the head OF
the Pacific Fur company, estab-
lished a settlement called Aston
la at the mouth of the Columbia.
The real opening of the North
west was the result Of the FAM
u Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton.
BY 1913 q 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
coded in 1919. This left Eng
land and America qu%arrelling
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 1913 and the State of
Oregon was taken into the I'm
ion in 1859 with an area of &c.
800 square miles.

TIME TO BUILDS

From First PaEe.)
are as low as any one might wish.
but the outlook, just at this time
from our standpoint. is not so bright.
Tor there is not as nue.. building 60
Ing on MS we had expected. Tho time.
however, is nno for the beginning of
construction work, for hardly In re-
cent years has there been such q
splendid opportunity for getting ma
terial at such low prices There Is
something paradoXical in this opti-
mism, but 1t shows that this is tho
best opportunity offered in years, and.
in that. 1T is pleasing. while on the
other hand the slow purchases do not
meet the expectations Of the dealers.
Accepted Time for HuiIdinG.
President w. L. Ragland, Of the
Builders Exchange. pointed out that
the present time Is the accepted time
for building. He showed that tho
price of bricks at tic works WAS yes
terday $40. as compared with s2s a
year ago. There Is. he also stated, 4
drop of from -25 to 80 per cent appar-
ent in lumber. This latter f~iuctuates.
Some producers are getting rid or
their over-suppiics at figures below
what IL cost them to produce. pre-
Lsunlably in order to get ready cash
and to reducc the supply on hand.
Q. l.. Bass, speaking before the
Financa Committee OH the school
building bond issue. stated that there
were many reductions In the price OF
material. such az bricks and lumber,
and hat he believed there might be
something OF an increase in both
these articles as well as in labor
within less than n year.
Thomas Gresham, wholesaler I'm
lumber. said last night that those
who contemplate building should not
lose a moment. They should take
this opportunity of getting the goods
Mt the lowest prices conceivable. The
market is glutted, and this Is Il
splendid chance for prospective build
crs."
In his discussion before tho Finance
Committee. State Senator Morgan Il.
Mills said the prices Of all material.
cHccpt lime and cement, were at rock
bottom. There arc no stable prices
for any of these materials Mt this
time" said Senator Mills. II have
been in position TO know, as l am do
ing Il large amount of work. Tho
metals are very low. ana as for lum-
Der and bricks, there is hardly n COM
parison to be made to the last few
years. This is the right time for
building. 1t will not only give the
owners tho advantages of low prices.
hut IL Will give many idle men en-
ploy,nent to bridge things over until
We again reach the normal stage"
The large number OF real estate
transactions now being recorded I'm
the clerks office OF the Chanccry
Court. shows, say the real estate
dealers, that the people are awaken
ing TO the time, and that within n
short period the hammer and the saw
will be heard in the land.

NEW YORK. March .a-The re-

a resumption Of trade relations be-
tween Russia and the United States
evoked little discussion in the imam
cial district today.
Bankers and dealers in foreign cx-

in advices from Stockholm to the
effect hat large shipments Of Rus
sian gold may soon be sent 10 this
country by way Of sweden, contln-
gent upon the consent OF the Wash

1t is generally known that previous
efforts to import various amounts Of
Russian gold were unsuccessful be-
cause o, the ban placed upon the
ownership OF the metal by officials
OF the Wilson administration.
Reports are current in the nnan-
cial district that gold ranging In
value from 100000 to 10000 600
