~ EMS "a was an Indian
H RME HA word, massa-
vi "a n, EH chuset,
AG SA which means
~S "at the great
&- hill" 1t was
used by the Algonquins to desig-
nate the tribe living near Blue
Hill in Milton, now a state reser-
walton near Boston and the high
est hill in the eastern part of the
state. This name was later APP
piled to the great bay which
Blue hill overlooks. 1t was from
!, this bay that the state was
named. In fact, until 1892 the
! colony was called the Massachu-
sets Bay colony, and after that
, the Province of Massachusetts
Bay until the Revolution made
it a commonwealth. Even today
|, it is often called the Bay state.
1t was Capt. John Smith who
first made a map of the New
England coast and named the
! Charles river in honor of Baby
Charles" who afterward became
King Charles |. Other captains
visited the coast from time to
time, but it was not until the
fall of 1920 that the Mayflower
brought the first permanent set
tiers to the Massachusetts shore.
The landing of the Pilgrims at
Provincetown and Plymouth
three hundred years ago was re-
Gently celebrated. Of the origi-
nal n hundred passengers on
the Mayfower more than half
died during the first winter. But
the sturdy survivors, with in
domitable courage, soon became
firmly established and from
their beginning, augmented by
the Puritan settlements of Salem
and the towns around Boston,
grew the state of Massachusetts,
which now extends over S,2S8
square miles. In proportion to
it's area Massachusetts is second
only to Rhode Island in popula-
ton and has eighteen presiGen-
tial electoral votes. This makes
Massachusetts n of the six
most important states from a po-
litical point of view.

~ IL WAS the
MS1E&M 1 S panish
M!zgZ%U who laid
EY: :i0l claim to the
lHs: IsssTq TX! discovery of
w. III our Pacific
%&.!~ coast. In
~25~ 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 far
traders followed and in 1911
John Jacob Aston, 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-
ton.
By 1S43 a decided flow of
%emigrants from the East trav-
elIed 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 ~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 1S4S and the State of
Oregon was taken into the I'm
ion in 1859 with an area of &c.
600 square miles.

GOVERNOR ASKED ID
 BACK MOVE TO AMEND TRANSFORMATION ACT

Asking the support of the governor in the resolution which has been intro duced in the legislature urging congress to amend the Transportation Act that the rights of the states, with reference to internal matters might be safe guarded, Anas A Betts of the cor sporation commission yesterday ad- 1dressed a communication to the chief executive.
 The letter was written in reply to message from Governor Campbell in which he called attention to the action of the Southern Pacific railroad com pany of California, which came to the relief of rice growers of that state thus demonstrating and putting into effect the principle that rates can be reduced.'
 Governor Campbell enclosed, a letter from o. E. Stanton. who held that the same conditions applying to the rice growers of California apply with equal force to low grade ore producers and also to cotton growers in Arizona.
 The reply of the commission follows: Hon. Thomas E. Campbell,
 Governor,
 Capitol Building,
 Phoenix, Arizona
 Dear Sir:
 This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of March 3, with which you en- closed a communication from O. B. Stanton, relating to an adjustment of tse rates on ore from Ray Junction to Fl Paso Responding thereto, you are advised that we shall be very glad to do all within our power to afford re- lief, as we are fully cognizant of the menacing situation with which the mines of the state are confronted, by reason of continually advancing freight rates. It will be borne in mind, of course, that Jurisdiction in this matter l rests with the interstate commerce commission.
 l You are no doubt aware that this i commission sometime ago denied the l application of the carriers in Arizona l for permission to advance rates 20 per cent. It was definitely shown that the proposed advance would menace the very existence of our largest industry mining. The carriers have taken the case to the interstate commerce com mission and acting under assumed au- l thority of the Transportation Act of I 1920 that body will doubtless, if it fol lows the precedent established in other I states, give a decision adverse to the interests of the people of this state. l The legislature of several states have ] Da ssed resolution urging congress to SC I tamend the Transportation Act that the ls-ierbts of the states, with reference te purely internal matters, may be safe I guarded A similar resolution was ln- I troduced in the house day or so ago by Representative Phillips of this I county and we would respectfully urge That YOU give the matter your support to the end that the interests of oui state may be protected.
 Very truly yours.

 MT Betts said yesterday that as yet it was not known who would represent Arizona when the case comes up for argument.
 Dating back several months, the railroads made application to the cor Doration commission for an increase in both passenger and freight rates within the state. No showing was made and in accordance with the state laws the commission denied the application. The carriers then appealed to the I. c. c
