Motor Accidents Take
14,412 Lives During
1925 40 lin Montana

A total of 14,t42 deaths from
accidents during 1923 caused by
automobiles and other motor vehi-
cles, excluding motorcycles, is
shown in statistics assembled by
the census bureau, covering the
death registration area of the I'M
tied States, which contains S7.0
per cent OF the total population.
This total represents a death rate
of 14.9 per 100000 population, IS
compared with 1915 In 1922; 11.5 In
1921, and 1914 in 1920.
California topped the list with a
rate OF 1926 deaths per 100000 pop
ulation, and Wyoming was second
with rate Of 241. Among 6S cities
for which statistics we're gathered,
Camden, N. j.. led with rate OF
1874, and Scranton, Pa, was second
with 29.2.
The state in which the death rate
from motor accidents was the lowest
was Mississippi, where the number
per 100000 was IA Kentucky had
the next best record with a rate OF
67. Among the cities where an es-
Innate was possible. New Bedford,
Mass. was lowest with a rate Of 62,
and Fort Worth, Texas, ranked
next, with g.3.
Figures by states. with the total
number killed and the rate per
100000 include: Wyoming, 81 and
24.l, Montana, 40 and 80.

and northwestern Montana, and all
of British Columbia.
Maps of that period designed to
furnish knowledge of the country
much farther east than Oregon were
grossly inaccurate. yet from these
both British and American diplomats
drew the information that was later
to settle the long-disputed Oregon
question, and establish our northern
boundary line. Ignorance of the re-
sources of this great empire was as
profound as that concerning its to-
Biography. What little was known
came through the reports of explor-
ing expeditions, or was furnished by
fur traders.
Even as late as 1890, Thomas JEFF
ferson. one of our most enlightened
statesmen, questioned the wisdom Of
acquiring Louisiana, for, said he, it
would not be to Tour interests to
cross the Mississippi for ages" and
that IL would never be to our inter-
ests to remain united with those who
do"
But IL union was held not to be
desirable with trans-M Mississippi
nation, our political leaders of that
period well understood, any nation
founded there would have our own
form of government, and maintain
friendly relations with us, and being
of this opinion, they were jealous of
all claims made by Great Britain on
the Pacific coast. We did not want
the country west of the Rocky noun
tains, but we were determined Great
Britain should gain as little of it as
possible. While considered only val
liable for its fisheries and its fur
trade, we wished TO control both.
Oregon was then more accessible
from the east by the ocean around
Cape Horn, than overland, and this
fact accounts for the ignorance re-
garding 1t OF both British and AM
orleans, although the British would
have been better informed, had they
listened to the officers of the Hud-
sons Bay company, instead Of rely
ing on reports given them by men
who had but short acquaintance In
the country.
A titled Englishman has said, that
the region north of the Columbia
became ours when our northern
boundary line was defined, because

fishing was proposed. Gordon in
quired whether they used flies OF
bait, and this of streams where sal
mon could be scooped up by the
tubfuls." Then, as last resort. the
traders sought to impress him with
the scenery. He manifested his APP
probation by exclaiming that he
would not give the bleakest knoll on
the bleakest hill OF Scotland for all
those mountains in a heap"
Some historians are of the opin-
ion that Gordon had HIS mind made
up as to what his report would be
concerning the coultry, before he
ever saw 1t. Many who had emigrat-
ed to Oregon, left there and went to
California, or to the Sandwich ISL

They told OF the long rainy season;
of the dense forests, and of the saw
ages who inhabited them. OF course
the climate was different away from
the coast, In eastern Washington, In
Idaho, and northwestern Montana,
but no one thought of living there
but a few fur traders at their scat
tered posts.

stories at the Sandwich Islands, and

Meanwhile what action was being

that a committee be appointed ito
inquire into the situation of settle

expediency of occupying the Col

of the fur trade of the
Columbia and the Missouri; the
whale and seal fisheries; the trade
with China. and the agricultural
possibilities OF that region In dis

duced, no one showed any knowl-
edge of the British claims, but took
for granted our right to occupy the

When Floyd's. bill for the military
occupancy of the Columbia river,
the donation OF land to settlers, and
the regulation of Indian affairs, came
before Congress, it was opposed by
Tracey, of New York, in an eloquent
speech, in which he said that 1t
would not help us commercially in
that quarter, and the idea of an ov-
erland commercial connection be-
tween the east coast and the mouth
of the Columbia was visionary
(Floyd favored the building of wa
gon road from st. Louis to the Pa
cific coast.)
