The difficulties which accom-. panied the transformation of the twenty pre-war countries of Eu- rope into the thirty which now appear on the map of that conti- nent recall some interesting features of the process by which the territory of the United States, which Is now about equal to that of all Europe, was enlarged ad- justed, and readjusted into the fifty political divisions which now appear upon the map of our own country.
 We have been busy, very busy, in this big country of ours in the comparatively short period since the Swedes, the Dutch, the Span- ish, the French and the English were stalking out" their respect i've claims upon the Atlantic frontage from the southern tip of Florida to the frozen north. But when we recall the steps by which that area was united, enlarged, populated and then divided and sub-divided into territories and states, we find many interesting and almost forgotten incidents.
 How many of the twenty million people living in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin recall the fact that the area which they now occupy was at one time part of the province of Quebec?
 How many of the nine million people in the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and part of the Dakotas realize that the section which they now occupy was once part of the territory of Michigan, whose area in 1884 was eight times as much as that when the territory was established and six times as much as that of the pres- ent state of Michigan?
 The Territory of Missouri once included the area forming the present states of Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Arkansas, Missouri and a part of the present area of Minnesota, Wyoming, Montana, Kansas, Okla , homa, and Colorado.
 The Territory of Indiana in 1894 included what is now Minnesota and part of the Dakotas. Texas, which is now nearly twice as large as any other state of the Union, is at the present | time only about two-thirds as big as when admitted, and part of her original area now forms parts of five other states, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming.
 The area relinquished to the Common Union by the thirteen original states after the close of the Revolutionary War now forms part or all of thirteen other states having combined area greater than that of the present area of the original thirteen which gave their western area to the Common Union.

North and South Dakota, while tho 'Indian Territory" in Q greatly reduced form became the present State of Oklahoma.
 This story of our expansion and transformation into the states would not be complete without e word about our non-contiguou, areas, Porto Rico, the Philippine Islands, Hawaii, the Virgin !s- lands, Guam, Tutuila, and tho Panama Canal Zone. Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands fell into our hands as result of the war with Spain, though we paid to Spain $20,0O0,000 for C full cans cellation of ner claim to the Phil. lippines. Guam which lies east of the Philippines and had been held by Spain was taken over by tho United States in 1898 during the war with Spain. Our little island of Tutuila in the Samoan group fell to the United States in 1899 after long years of joint adminis- tration of the group by Great Bri- tain, Germany and the United States. Its chief value is in it's : fine harbor which is designated as { the best in tns South Pacific while the harbors in the Philippines and Hawaii are the best in the North ern Pacific. Hawaii, which had been knocking vigorously for ad. mission to the United States from
New Britain herald., 1922-09-08

sequently became a part of the
 present states of New Mexico,
 Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and
 Wyoming.
 The ink on the documents which
 admitted Texas as a state of the
 Union was scarcely dry when there
 began a series of events which ex-
 tended the area of the United
 States from the western border of
 Texas to the Pacific Ocean. A dis
 pute between the United States
 and the Mexican Government re- garding the southern boundary of
 Texas resulted in the war between the United States and Mexico, which began in 1S46, and in vaAch the Mexican area then known as New Mexico and Upper California was over-run and captured by American troops, and at the close of that war was attached to the United States on payment of $15,- 100000 by the United States to, the Mexican Government, though this sum was subsequently, increased by the assumption of about $3,- 100000 of debts of the Mexican Government to citizens of the Uni ted States. By this absorption of the former Mexican area of New Mexico and California our territorial area was extended to the Pacific Coast. This great area obtained from Mexico was sub-di- vided into California which was in 1850 admitted as state without Territorial probaticn,' and the remainder divided into the Terri tories of New Mexico and Utah. Subsequently Utah was transform ed into three Territories, Utah, Nevada, and Colorado and they were later admitted as states. New Mexico was later sub-divided into the territories of Arizona, and New Mexico and subsequently, ad- mitted as states.
 Simultaneously with this exten- sion of our government over the area lying between Texas and the Pacific-the Mexican cession-an agreement had been reached be- tween the Unhed States and Great Britain regarding our claims to the Oregon Country" and in 1s4s, the very year in which California and New Mexico were acquired from Mexico. the area lying north of California was established by the United States Government as the Territory of Oregon" and the single year 1s48 thus brought us our entire Pacific frontage. The Oregon Country became the Terri- tory of Oregon which was subce- quently suhdivided into the Terri- tories of Oregon and Washington and later admitted as states, the eastern part having been cut off and forming the Territory of Idaho and a part cf the Territory of Wyoming.
 In 1853 small area lying south l of the Territory of New Mexico l was purchased from Mexico for sum of s1o,OOO,O00 to settle a boundary dispute and attached to the Territory of New Mexico,

more than century, was frally released by the Nnso~stu2,At- Legislature and in 1880 nncae { state cs the Union.
 One of the first questions which arose after the cescion by the colonies of their territory lying yves. of the Allesheries was as to the method of it's government. A Congrese;;cr Committee was ap- pointed to consider the matter v:th Je9erson at its head and the result o1 it's labors was the pres entat;aa of plan of wLich Jef- ferson was understood to be the aut.'er by which the area in ques- tio1 should De divided into ten new states, sor, O. che names be- ing drawn from the Greek and Latin and ofhers from Indian phrsseology. The peninsula ly- ing between Lakes Huron anc Michigan was to be called "Cher- onesus," that bounded by the Wa bash, Ohio ard Mississippi Poly potsmia," that between the Upper Chic and the Greet Lel,es "MeSro- potamia," while otA1r parts Of the area were given the naraes If "-l.iro;s,'' "AssenisIpp'a," ".Aie,,- laaniA" "Sylvania," ~3ara9aya," end Washington"
 The above measure devised and recommended by Jefferson was &C., cepted by Congress and put upon the statute books but before steps had been taken to carry it into actual operation it was repealed by the celebrated Ordinance of 1787" establishing the Territory Northwest of Ohio" of which Gen. eral Arthur St. Claire was made the frat governor, in 178s, and the first Territorial Government, which was to prove such an im- portsnt factor in the development of the western area, put into oper- ation. General St. Claire estab- lished the scat of the government of that enormous territory at the little village of "Losantiville" which he renamed Cincinnati in honor of the "Society of the Cin- cinnati" of which he, as an officer of the Revolutionary War, was a member. In 1790 an act was pass ed for a similar form of govern ment in a part of the area south of the Ohio which was to be desig- mated "The Territory South of the Ohio," the provisions of that act being similar to that which estab- lished the territory northwest of the Ohio except the omission for the southern territory of the pro- viso found in that for the northern territory with reference to slav- cry; the act establishing the Ter ritory Northwest of the Ohio ex- cluded slavery while that proviso was omitted from the terms under which the Territory South Of the Ohio was established.

By 1855, "New Sweden" had been taken over by the Dutch; in 1864 the Dutch ter ritory of "New Netherlands" was taken over by the English. The French meantime had extended their explorations down the Mis- sissippi to it's mouth and were claiming all of the area drained ty that river as resuis of "orig- i'm, explorations" of the valley. This claim, however, was resisted b. the English who assumed tnst th-ir colonies fronting on the At la:tc were by their charters to eItsnd across the continent to the "S|sth Sea-" a7 the Pacific was then called, and in the war be- tween France and England over this question the French were de- f.et-d and ordered to transfer th-i- territorial claims to Great Pr.sin, which they proceeded to do. secretly, however, ceding to Spaic their claims to the western section If the Mississippi Valley, ~o'ch. however, was subsequently, re ce,."6 to France by the Spanish :pvarn ment.
