The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE

TT WAS the

Nk 4gNa:M claim to the
III: saS III discovery of
VV. .I/ our Pacific
NSsss.:// coast. In
Ia 81 1913 Ferrele
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 fur
traders followed and in 1911
John Jacob Aston, the head OF
the Pacific Fur company, estab-
lished settlement called Aston
la 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 1843 a decided flow Of
emigrants from the East trav-
eIled 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 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 1848 and the State Of
Oregon was taken into the I'm
ion in 1859 with an area Of &c.
800 square miles.

Golden Rule Sunday to

SUNDAY, DECEMBER SECOND TO
BE DAY SET APART FOR
NEAR EAST RELIEF

President Coolidge in a letter mad
public today by Charles V. Vickrey
General Secretary Of Near East Re
lief, endorses the plan for observing
December End as international Gold
en- Rule Sunday
Plans for the day, as outlined by
a recent International conference in
Geneva, call upon people Of fourteen
different countries to serve menu
in their homes similar to chat serv
ed in orphanages in the Near East
the difference in cost Of the orphan
age menu and the ordinary meal tc
be contributed to orphanage work
overseas.
The Presidents Letter Says:
1T is with a good deal of sat
isfaction that | commend your
proposal to observe an Interna-
tional Golden Rule Dinner Sun
day, on the second OF December
1928. I feel sure that this sug-
gestion will meet with very wide
spread approval and will bring
more closely to mind the charit-
able requirements of those who
are prosperous to those who are
in adversely. 1t suggests not only
a practical method for help, but
the highest expression of sym
pathy, by sharing for time the
privations of others
Cordially yours,
CALVIN COOLIDGE.
Mr. Vickrey said that among the
notable people abroad who will co
operate to give the day an interna-
tional aspect are ex-Premier Clemen-
ceau, Prince Carl of Sweden, DR..
Fridtjof Nansen, Premier Gonatas of
Greece, M. Paul Hymans, and Mile.
Alice Masaryk, daughter of the pres
ident of Czecho-Slovakia.

observed by twenty million people, /"
he said. Governors, senators and
other men prominent in national and
state affairs, fraternaI organizations
business firms, and churches have al
ready endorsed.
1.-The observance is very appropri-
ately fixed for the Sunday following
Thanksgiving. Having on Thursday
partaken bountifully from well laden
tables and rejoiced in our prosperity,
it is fitting that on the following Sun
day we give some special considera-
ton to the needs and distress of
those who are less highly favored.
Luxurious living and self-indul-
gence may be as injurious to the
prosperous as under-nourishment and
starvation are to the less fortunate.
America has contributed more to
the preservation of the childhood of
Europe and Asia than any other ma
ton. In American orphanages in the
Levant there are now more than So
600 children who not only have no
fathers and mothers, but as refugees
from Anatolia they have no country.
There are at least $4,000 other or
phans and haIf-orphans in the refu-
gee camps for whom some provision
must be made if they are not to per
ish during the coming winter.
When people break bread together
they become friends. On this Inter
national Golden Rule Sunday people
of all nations figuratively will gather

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Aug. 29.-
Ohio miners are keenly interested
but sitting tight" as the possible
anthracite coal workers strike,
September 1.
This declaration today by Lee
Hall, president Of the Ohio Btu
mfnous Mine Workers put at rest
rumors that Ohio miners con-
templated joining the Pennsylvania
hard coal miners in their proposed
strike by taking vacation"
"Ohio mine workers are ready to
lend moral or financial support to
get a reasonable settlement OF the
Anthracite controversy, but under
no circumstances will they violate
their present contract which ex.
pires March 81, 1924, to do IT,"
Hall declared.
"Our men win comply to the
letter with their contract and be
governed by the laws and policies
adopted by our organization. OF
course our sympathies are with the
anthracite miners. They are fight
ing now for what we already have,
the check-off and full and COM
plete recognition Of the union"
Hall was Of the opinion that IL
the miners were granted the raise
they wanted it would cause no con.
fusion in Ohio, as the wages for
the anthracite workers have al
ways been lower than those Of the
bituminous miner. He. pointed out
however, that their work was gem
orally more steady than In the
Ohio mine fields.
While Hall was non-committal as
to the probability of a strike, he
phrophesied that IN case OF q walk
out many hard coal men would
undoubtedly drift over into Ohio for
work.
There are more miners now
than there Is work, but the boys
are vikings to divide and share
up" Hall declared.

ROCKWELL Fl E L D, SAN
DIEGO, Cal. Aug. 90. - Restless
service. overseeing new worlds
to conquer, was busily planning
today a new airplane record to sur
pass that made hardly eighteen
hours ago by two United States
army filters, Capt. Lowell H. Smith
and Lieut.. J. F. Richter, when they
remained continuously in the air
for thirty seven hours.
The new nonstop flight will be
from the Canadian to the Mexican
border. It will be attempted within
the coming month. The starting
point will be at the town OF Blaine,
IN the State of Washington and the
terminal will be at the border oppo.
site Tia Juana, Mexico.
The same two filters, who made a
new worlds record here yesterday
will pilot the aircraft. Refueline
planes will go aloft at Medford

Major Henry Arnold, in command
of Rockwell Field, will be in
charge of the expedition.
Major ArnoIds Statement.
The significance of the worlds
record made by Captain Smith and
Lieutenant Richter was pointed out
today by Major Arnold:
Captain Smith and Lieutenant
Richter have proved that the limit
of an airplane staying in the air is
henceforth to be measured by the
strength Of it's component parts. I
mean by that that these two army
fliers have demonstrated that an
aeroplane can be made to stay in
the air until it shakes itself to
pieces.
by making% contact with their
De Haviland plane, we have es.
tablished the practicability Of chang.
ing pilots, passengers and fuel as
often as would be necessary on a
