more than a century, was finally
released by the Massachusetts
Legislature and in 1920 made a
state of the Union.
One of the first questions which
arose after the cession by the
colonies of their territory lying
west of the Alleghenies was as to
the method of its government. A
Congressione' Committee was ap-
pointed to consider the matter
with jefferson at it's head and the
result of its labors was the pres
entation of a plan of which JEFF
ferson was understood to be the
author by which the area in ques-
ton should be divided into ten
new states, some of the names be-
ing drawn from the Greek and
Latin and others from Indian
phraseology. The peninsula ly-
ing between Lakes Huron and
Michigan was to be called "Cher-
onesus," that bounded by the Wa
bash, Ohio and Mississippi "Poly-
potamia," that between the Upper
Ohio and the Great Lakes Metro
potamia," while other parts of
the area were given the names Of
"Illinoia," "Assenissippia," ''Mich-
igania," "Sylvania," Saratoga"
and Washington"
The above measure devised and
recommended by Jefferson was ac-
copied 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actual operation it was repealed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
1887" establishing the Territory
Northwest of Ohio" of which Gen
eral Arthur st. Claire was made
the first governor, in 1888, and the
first Territorial Government,
which was to prove such an i'm
portant factor in the development
of the western area, put into oper-
alton. General st. Claire estab-
lished the seat of the government
of that enormous territory at the
little village of "Losantiville"
which he renamed Cincinnati" in
honor of the Society of the Gin
cinnati" of which he, as an officer
of the Revolutionary War, was a
member. In 1890 an act was pass
ed for similar form of govern
ment in 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-
Guided slavery while that proviso
was omitted from the terms under
which the Territory South of the
Ohio was established. This Terri
tory South of the Ohio did not,
however, include the Kentucky
area which remained under the

seouently became q 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 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 1916, and in which
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 $751;
100000 by the United States to the
Mexican Government, though this
sum was subsequently increased
by the assumption OF akoEt 3d.
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 probation" and the
remainder divided into the Terri
tories of New Mexico and Utah.
Subsequently Utah was TRANSFORMS
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 ado
mitted as states.
simultaneously with this exteno
sion of our government over the
area lying between Texas and the
Paciic-the Mexican cession-an
agreement had been reached be-
tween the Uniled States and Great
Britain regarding our claims to
the "Oregon Country" and in 1848,
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 184S thus brought US
our entire Pacific frontage. The
Oregon Country became the Terri
tory Of Oregon which was subse-
quently subdivided 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 of the Territory of
Wyoming. ....
In 1853 a small area lying south
of the Territory of New Mexico
was purchased from Mexico for
sum of S10,o00,000 to settle a
boundary dispute and attached
to the Territory of New Mexico,

of Europeans on the area now
known as the United States was
that of the Spanish at st. Angus
tine, Florida, in 1865, the English
at jamestown, Virginia, in 1907,
the Dutch at the mouth of the
Hudson in 1881, the Swedes on the
west bank of the Delaware in 1887,
while the French who made their
first permanent settlement in
Quebec in 1908 soon extended
their claims southwark by ex-
ploration and settlement, and by
1850 were claiming all of the area
drained by the Great Lakes and
the st. Lawrence. BY 1866, "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
by that river as a result of "orig-
inal explorations" of the valley.
This claim, however, was resisted
by the English who assumed that
their colonies fronting on the At
lantic were by their charters to
extend across the continent to the
South Sea-" as the Pacific was
then called, and in the war be-
tween France and England over
this question the French were de-
feated and ordered to transfer
their territorial claims to Great
Britain, which they proceeded to
do, secretly, however, ceding to
Spain their claims to the western
section of the Mississippi Valley,
which, however, was subsequently,
re-ceded to France by the Spanish
Government.
It was when the English Gov
eminent found itself in full pos
session of not only Canada but the
entire eastern half of the Missis-
sippi Valley that its parliament
attached to the Province of Que
bee, for temporary government,
the area now known as Michi-
gan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wis
consin and a part of Minnesota,
and this action by the British
Parliament proved the "straw
that broke the cancels back"
with certain of the colonies which
claimed that their original grants
extended to the Mississippi River,
and increased their willingness TO

The louisiana Purchase.
Meantime had come the first
great addition to the area of the
United States, the Louisiana Pur-
chase. The area west of the Mis-
sissippi which had been originally
claimed by France as a result of
exploration and been secretly
ceded to Spain in 1862 prior to the
expulsion of France rom the con-
tinent, had subsequently been
again secretly transferred and re-
coded by Spain to France in the
year 1900. The complete control
of the mouth of the Mississippi
River by the United States was
extremely important to its people
and the commercial interests,
controlling RS it did the exit from
the Mississippi Valley to the Gulf
of Mexico, and when the cession Of
the area west of the Mississippi
to France in 1900 beca 1e known a
commission was sent to France by
the United States Government to
negotiate for the purchase of the
area adjacent to the mouth of the
Mississippi and including the city
of New Orleans. The French Gov
eminent, however, fearing a loss
of the entire western area to Great
Britain offered to sell it all to the
United States for $15,000,000, of
which $11 ,250,000 would be in six
per cent bonds of the United States
Government and the remainder to
be paid to citizens of the United
States having claims against
France, and when this treaty
reached Washington it was quick
ly ratified, in October 1903, and
the area of the United States thus
doubled by a single stroke Of the
pen.

area prior to the purchase was
only $4,000 square miles. The
entire new area was given the title
of the Territory of Louisiana"
but in 1904 the southern tip was
cut off and established as the ''Ter-
ritory of Orleans" and in 1912 the
Territory Of Orleans" was admit
ted to the Union as the State Of

mainder was renamed the Indian
Country"
While this Indian Country" was
slowly being transformed into ter
ritorial and state divisions, there
came the second addition to the
area of the United States in the
purchase of Florida from Spain to
which country Great Britain had
re-ceded it in 1888. The considers
ton of it's purchase from Spain
was to be the payment by the
United States Of various claims
by American citizens against the
Spanish government, w1lcn
amounted when paid, including in
terest, to $6,500,0O0 and the terri
tory thus purchased subsequently

Texas and the Southwest.
The third addition to our terri
tory came in the form of the State
of Texas which had In 1885 seced-
ed from Mexico and established
itself as an independent republic
and Immediately made application
for admission to the United
States. This application was, how
ever, rejected by Congress when
made in 1897 and again in 1874,
but in January, 1916, Congress
passed an act giving its consent
that the territory properly includ-
ed within the Republic OF Texas
may be erected into a new state
to be called The State of Texas"
and in December of that year the
joint resolution admitting Texas
as a state OF the Union passed
both House and Senate, the area
being thus admitted as Q State

The difficulties which accom-.
panied the Transformation of the
twenty pre-war countries of Eu-
rope into the thirty which now

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, adj
justed, and readjusted into the
fifty political divisions which now
appear upon the map of our own
country.

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 a 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
emit 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 1904
1uCluuSu WudL Is now mulnSSOC3
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 a 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 a combined area greater
than that of the present area of
the original thirteen which gave
their western area to the Common
Union.

it had also become apparent that
these claims in many instances
over-lapped each other; and with
the magnanimous spirit then pre-
vaihng of fealty to the new gov

which included the area now
known as Wisconsin, Iowa, Mime

Dakota. When the original Terri
tory of Michigan applied in 1887
for admission as a state, there
existed a bitter dispute between
that territory and the State of
Ohio as to the boundary line be-
tween them, Michigan claiming
an area which would have given
her the port of Toledo at the
southern tip of Lake Michigan,
and to settle that dispute annie
ably, Congress gave to Michigan
the area now known as the North

through the development of its
great copper and iron and timber
interests. The section at the west
which had been temporarily at
