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 1883 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
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 Astor-
ia at the mouth of the Columbia.
The real opening of the North
west was the result of the fam
GUS Lewis end Clark expedi-
ticn.
By lS43 a decided flow Of
emisrants 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 quar- elling
over this section of the country.
Final settlement, with definite
boundaries between the United
States and Canada, was made
In 1848.
The Oregon territory was
formed In 1848 and the State Of
Oregon was taken into the Un-
ion in 1859 with an area bf 98,-
500 square miles.

Christopher Mathewson was born
Aug ii 1850, 1t Factoryville. Pa.
I He grew to six feet one inch tail,
and when in his prime weighted about
El9O.
Mathewson was educated ut Key
stone academy and Buckniell univer-
sity.
During his college days he was an
even greater football player than
baseball. =
While at Bnckniell he was rated rs
the best punter and drop kicker in the
eastern colleges.
Mathewson was secured by the New
York club in 1900, but lacked expert
ence and was sent to the Virginia
League.
The Cincinnati club drafted him at
the close Of the season. New York
again secured him in a trade for Amos
Rusi.
In his first year as a major league
pitcher, he made remarkable show
ing, winning 90 and losing 16 games.
He remained with the New York
club for Is years, and during that
time pitched more games thalt any
other National League. twirler has
ever done. #
IN IS Of the Is years he started as a
National League pitcher, he succeed
ed in winning 20 or more games. A
most remarkable record.
In only two years did he fall below
the I. 5O0mark percentage. In 1902
he won 13 and lost 18. In 1915 he won
% and lost Ia.
No pitcher ever had greater control.
In the 62a games he pitched in the Ma
tional League, he gave only on and
three-tenths bases on balls per game.
His best year as to games won, was
in 1908, when he won 81 and lost IL
for percentage Of I'll. His best re-
cord was in 1909, when he won 25
and lost 6, for mark Of BOG.
Mathewson pitched two no-hit games
during his career. On July Is 1901,
against st. Louis, and June 13, 1905,
against Chicago =.
Winning 80 games is considered
most extraordinary, yet Mathewson
turned that trick in three consecutive
seasons, 80 in 1903, 33 in 1904, and 81
in 1906.
2 His best world series performance
was in 1904 against the Athletics. He
pitched three shut-out games in as
many starts.
In his first game he won 5 to 0, al
lowing only four hits, in his next start
he won 9 too, allowing the same num-
Der Of hits. In his third game he won
2 to Q, six hits being the portion Of
the Athletics
Mathewson has pitched in four
world series. In 1904 against the Ath-
letics he won his three starts. In 1911
against the Athletics he won one and
lost two games. In 1912 against the
Boston Red Sox he was unable to win
losing two and tieing one game.
Against the Athletics in 1913, he won
one and lost cne.
His record as world series pitcher
was five won, five lost and one tied.

~ SCRAP ALL SUBS IS B

5s An American em0rts 70 COmpTOmlSe
the submarine controversy failed OF
immediate success Saturday before
the arms conference naval committee;
when Japan refused to accept p reduc-
tion of her su5raersibles to 1000 tons
and French action was deferred pend
Ing advices from Paris. 80
When the committee adjourned at
ter four hours debate TO meet again
Tuesday, the 27th, some members Of
the American group appeared discour-
aged over the prospect for any early
agreement on submarines. although
negotiations are to continue.
The American comp promise plan,
presented after the British effort for
complete suppression Of submarines
had been shelved, proposed sixty thou.
sand ton limitations for Great Britain
and the United States instead Of the.
original American figure Of 80, 900
tons each, and virtually q status quo
for the other three powers.
The British delegation, failing to-
obtain favorable action on suppression
Of submarines, accepted the new re-
duction, scheme. The French group
indicated that it would be unaccept-
able, but deferred full answer pend
ing Paris adv;ces. Japan flatly held
out for the full $4,000 tons in SUBJ.
marines under the orgiinAl American
"five-five-three" ratio plan. Italy ac-,
cepted the compromise plan, condi-
toned on submarine tonnage parity.
with France, the Italian delegates con-
tending that 81 800 tons would be the
correct limitation for both France and
Italy. II.
The French delegation indicated
that it would not oppose parity with
Italy in submarines as well as capital
ships but withheld approval Of any
tonnage. limitation Of less than the
$4,000 ton figure suggested by French.
experts. Undey q status quo, France
would have about ~, 900 tons IN sub
mersibles. Z. i; 90 ss s5s.s
The American group made il plain
that while it had great sympathy for
the British viewpoint in opposing all
submarine warfare, it was inclined to:
agree with the: American advisory
committee that submar arines were .
legitimate weapon.
To induce agreement, the American
delegation again offered as in the
capitalship proposal, to make the
greatest sacrifice in tonnage. Ameri-
can figures show present submarine.
strength Of 95 900 tons for the United
States and $4,000 tons for Great Brit
ain. Under the compromise plan the.
United States thus would scrap $4,000

HA&AA sippi derives
E3s its name from
I'D AM the river
i W 'zW its western
S-6 boundary.
The word itself comes from the
Algonquin missi-sepe which
means ''great river" It is popu-
larly supposed to mean "Father
of the Waters" but this interpre-
tation is incorrect. The state Is
also known as the Bayou State
from the many bayous which are
formed by the shifting river. In
this connection it Is interesting
to note the uneven course Of the
Mississippi river. Though the
extreme length of the state from
the Gulf to Tennessee is $50
miles, the western, border. due
to the winding of the Mississippi
river, extends for nearly 500
miles.
The rivers play an important
part In this state. They are SO
| numerous and the country so
subject to flood that the river
bottoms cover nearly one fifth
Of the area of the entire state.
The early history of Missis-
sippi is yoked up with that Of
Louisiana of which 1t originally
formed ia part. Discovered BY
