The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-11-27

A T the recent election, Montana
~ elected to office Judge J.. E.
Erickson, whe will be the one
hundred and fourth governor to ex-
ercise executive authority over what
is now Montana from the time that a
portion of its present territory was a
part of the province of Louisiana,
taken over by the French from the
Indians without consulting the red
skinned inhabitants, to the present
day.
This long list of governors which
was compiled by the Montana His
torical society, ranges from Souvolle,
the French governor whose seat was
at Biloxi, in what is now the state of
Louisiana, through the numerous
governors named by the Spanish
Indian agent of the Upper Missouri
throne, to the period when the "In-
dian agent of the Upper Missouri
was the only administrative head Of
the territory of what is now Montana.
The list includes for that part of
Montana west of the Rocky mountain
divide, the committees of three men
which sat at Champoeg, Oregon as
executive head of a provincial govern
ment; it takes in territorial COVER
nors of Washington, who presided ov-
er the destinies of what is now west
ern Montana from Olympia; and it
has the names of governors of Idaho
territory who made Lewiston, Idaho,
their capital, from which they nom
inally exercised jurisdiction over
Bannack, Virginia City, Deer Lodge.
Last Chance, Fort Benton, Fort I'm
ion at the Dakota line, and Fort
Laramie, now in Wyoming. In their
rule of the first five of the commun-
tiles named, however, the Idaho ter
ritorial governors at Lewiston, per-
mitted the protection of public peace
and safety to fall into the hands
,of the Virginia City Vigilantes and
bodies later known as the Vigilantes
of Montana. This continued until
the courts of territorial Montana
were established. Governor William
B. Daniels, who held the office at
Lewiston, in 1868 and 1854, did,
however, cooperate with the Vigi-
lantes in the maintenance of law and
order, and Chief justice Hosmer
complimented them on their work
according to J. U. Sanders, who is
credited with compiling this import
ant historical data.
The period embraced in the data
compiled by Mr.. Sanders is 225 years,
from the days when that part of. the
present state east of the Rocky noun
tains "a a part of Louisiana under
dominion and later Spanish,
during the reigns of Louis XIV. and
Charles III. and their successors,
through its early organization by
United States as a part of the ter
of Louisiana, Missouri, Ne

Ind Idaho, to the governors of Mon
lana territory and the state of Mon
Sauvo1le The First Governor.
The first governor was Sauvolle.
Who, named by King Lousi XIV. of
France, set up a capital for the prov
nee of Louisiana at Biloxi. His ap-
continent dated from December z,
1893, and Biloxi was the capital until
3ienville, in 1928, removed it to New
Orleans. The governors under the
regime, until the secession
# the province to Spain by Louis
w. in 1863, with the dates of their
-ppointments, were:

De Mugs, the third on the list of
the French rulers of the province
was at home in France when he was
appointed and neve reached Louis
lana, as he died on the voyage at
Havana. Bienville was permitted to
retain his power and position. The
consequence was that Bienville was
governor of Louisiana for France
from 1901 to 1743, except for the
short periods which constituted the
terms of Cadillac, De L'Epiney, Bots
briant and Perier.
The Last French Governor.
Antonio De Ulloa, the last of the
list of French governors, came from
Havana to take possession of the
province for Spain, but came with
out funds to redeem the seven mil
lion livres ($1,400,0 00) of French
paper money, a heavy debt for a col
ony of 5000 white men, which Spain
was to or redeem. De Ulloa
was compelled, lacking the money,
to administer the affairs of the prov
ince under the French flag, with the
old French officers still in their posi-
tons, but at the cost of Spain. 1t
was four years later that the first OF
the governors who1ruled the province
of Louisiana under Spain, an Irish
man, Alexander O'Reilly, "Cruel
O'Reilly," in command of $500
Spanish troops, with so pieces of ar
tillery, landed 1T New Orleans in
great pomp and took formal posses
sion of the province.
The succession of the Spanish gov
was /:

arrive until Feb. 1, 1TO, July 10, 1776

Montana's First Governor
Sidney Edgerton, the first COVER
nor of Montana territory, born at
Cazanovia, N. Y, in 1919, was a
graduate of the Cincinnati law
school and settled in Akron, Ohio,
the western reserve. He was
representative in. congress in 1859
and on his retirement was made

no. While he was a resident of
Bannack, he was sent to Washington
to secure the organization of a new

sion he saw the opportunity to in
clude even more territory, and made

the summit of the Rocky mountains
was created by congress.
Its first governor was William
Jaeyn who served as executive head
over what is now eastern Montana
until 1868, when Idaho territory was
organized with an area which in
Guided the present states of Montana,
Idaho and Wyoming. The territorial
capital of Dakota was at Yankton,
and with the creation of Idaho terri
tory on March 8, 1863, the capital of
the new territory was established at
Lewiston. The first governor of this
new territory came from Olympia
and was William H. Wallace. Will
liam b. Daniels, secretary Of the ter
ritory was acting governor from No

Prior to the organization of Ida
no territory, however, that part of
the present state of Montana lying
west of the Continental Divide. had
been successfully under the Oregon
provisional government formed at
Champoeg, under the government of
Oregon territory, which succeeded
the provisional government, and was
a part of Washington territory.
Prior to the establishing of the
boundary between the United States
and Canada, DR.. John Mclaughlin,
director of the Hudson's Bay COM
pany, by courtesy called governor of
Oregon, was nominal administrative
head of an area which extended east
to the rockies, from 1923 to 1843.
David Hill, Alamson Beers and Jo-
seph Gale sat as the first executive
committee of a provisional govern
ment organized by the residents of
Oregon on July 5, 1913. The region
over which it claimed jurisdiction
included three districts, one of which,
Clackamas, extended, roughly, east
to the Rockies.
w. j. Bailey, Osborne Russell and
G. Stewart constituted the second
executive committee of the Oregonl
provisional government, which had
its seat at Champoeg. 1t took over
the reigns of office on Hay 10, 1914
The committee of three did not, how
ever, prove satisfactory to the scat
white residents OF the north

souri, constituted the nearest to ex-
ecutive authority for the vast terri
torp which included scores of Indian

the province from Spain, Laussat, in
a lengthy proclamation to the Louis
ianians, said that the return of the
French domination would be for an
instant only, as he was on the eve of
transferring the possession Of the
colony to the commissioners of the
United States. Speaking of the val
ley of the Mississippi, he said: 1.-THE
Nile of. America, the Mississippi,
which flows, not through parched
deserts of sand, but through the most
extensive and the most fertile plains
of the new world, will soon see it's
bosom darkened by a thousand ships
belonging to all the nations of the
earth, and mooring at the quays of
another Alexandria,"
The Prophecy Fulfilled.
Montana's own port of Fort Ben
ton fulfilled the prophecy of the
French project less than so years
from the day his words were spoken.
The Chippewa and the Key West
moored at Fort Benton on July 2,
1860, and in 1862 four steamers
were moored at that port.

Three weeks after the organization
of Montana territory congress passed
an act on June II, 1864, to regulat
the foreign and coasting trade on
the northern, northeastern and north
western frontier of the United States.
The act provided that "any boat,
sloop, or other vessel of the United
States, navigating the waters of our
northern, northeastern and north
western frontiers, otherwise than by
sea, should be enrolled and licensed
with authority to engage either in
the coasting or foreign trade on said
frontiers and no certificate of regis
t~raionshould be required"
