renders the Missouri navigable almost
from its source. Its course through the
very center Of this territory from the
northwest to the southeast corner, to-
gether with its sinuosities. furnishes
over 1000 miles Of navigable river for
the largest sized steamers. Its head of
navigation is in convenient proximity
to the Salmon river and the Bitter
Root gold mines of Washington and
Oregon, and nearer than any other
water communication to the recently
discovered gold fields of the Saskatch-
evan and Cariboo, in Her Maiesty's
possessions.
Mining Activity Predicted
For many years steamers have made
annual trips to Fort Benton, and the
trade has increased from year to year
1t is now estimated that so steamers
will be inadequate TO supply the trade
for 1868. The mineral wealth of the
Rocky mountains will in a few years
make the Missouri one of the most
important business arteries on the
continent. No state or territory can
be better supplied with water and
water privileges than Dakota. It's
streams are countless and its waters
pure and healthful. Its large rivers are
numerous, among the most important
of which are the Big Sioux, Yellow
stone, Milk and Red River of the North
The latter suggests an interesting
physiological feature in the fact that
its waters flow into Hudson bay. The
Red River of the North is navigable
and regular steamers are engaged in
the trade between the American settle
ments on its headwaters, and the fort:
of the Hudsons Bay Co., along Lake
Winnipeg.
The Yellowstone is the largest trib.
utary of the Missouri. Little is known
OF its valley. The fountains, brooks
and creeks which supply its waters
ooze from the rocks of the mountains
only a few leagues from the source OF
the already gold famous Salmon river
and Bitter Root. The valley of the
Yellowstone is the sacred hunting
ground of the Indians. but the time
is close at hand when its fertile val
leys vii! echo TO the click and stiI
of civilization, and the indomitable
spirit of the Anglo-SaXon will torture

been traversed by the Lewis and Clark
expedition, but reports of a great west
ern river Cthe Columbia, had for
long time been a tradition among
Spanish nayigatorS who first explored
the northwest coast SO that mention
of its existence was made in 1913 by
Ferrelo. and in 1893 by Aquilar.
Oregon Organized
The mouth Of the Columbia was
first entered in 1892 by Capt. Robert
Gray, who named it after his vessel.
the Columbia. Lewis and Clark com
pleted their explorations down the
Columbia in 1906. and John Jacob As
tor, after forming the Pacific Fur Co,
in 1910. established Fort Astoria, a
trading post at the mouth OF the Co.
lumbia in 1911 This fort was captured
in 1913 by the British during the war
Of 1872, but they gave it up in 1918.
For many years congress wrestled
with the problem of Oregon and in
1884 an American settlement sprang
up in the Willamette valley, and in
1913 at Champorg, Ore, was organ
lied the first American civil govern
ment west Of the Rockies and an at
tempt was made TO extend its juris-
diCtiOn north Of the Columbia river,
. WnlCN country was sui Claimed Dy
Great Britain. This resulted in the
democratic campaign slogan Of 1874 of
"Fifty-fOur, forty or fight" The idea
being to establish the boundary line
at 54 degrees and 10 minutes OF north
latitude, far to the north Of the present
international boundary.
In 1876 the boundary dispute was
settled and the line was fixed at the
49th parallel. and in 1913 the territory
of Oregon was created by act of con-
gress and made to include all that
portion Of the United States which
lies west OF the summit of the Rocky
mountains, north Of the 42d degree Of
north latitude"
BY act of May 2 1853. congress Gre
ated the territory Of Washington and
assigned to it all that portion Of Ore
gon lying north OF the Columbia river
and west Of the Rocky mountains, IN
der which most of what is now western
Montana became part Of Washington
territory, and subsequently of the ter
ritory Of Idaho.

from the hidden recesses OF the red
mans forest home. riches that have
lain dormant for ages, and upon which
this poor child of the prairie has and
ever will gaze with indifference, scorn
and contempt.
Will Yield Wealth
Gold. iron, lead, coal and salt have
been discovered in the different 10
calities in the territory, and though
comparatively little is known Of its
mineral wealth, enough has been de-
veloped to excite curiosity and pro-
woke adventure. The hardy pioneer
is already in the field and the day
is near. aye, is at hand, when the
journey of the gold hunter for Cali
fornia and Washington will be short
ened by the more glittering attractions
of the Black Hills and the eastern
slope of the Rocky mountains. The
history Of Dakota is written in the
past history of the western states This
vast terra incognita is already undu-
lating with the breath of civilization
and the time cannot be far distant
when its noble prairies and fertile val
leys must yield up their wealth to the
restless, aggressive and all-conquering
energy Of the American people"
Under act OF March 3, 1863 Mon
tana was again switched TO a new
Jurisdiction, this time to the territory
Of Idaho, which was created by this
act. This act fixed the boundaries OF
that territory as follows:
Beginning at the point where the
Snake river intersectS the northern
boundary of Oregon: then down the
Snake river to a point opposite the
mouth of the KooSkooskia or Clear
Water river: thence due north to the
49th parallel canadian boundary
thence east to the 9th degree Of longi-
tude west of Washington; then south
to the northern boundary OF Colorado
territory; thence west to the 33d de-
gree of longitude west of Washington;
thence north to the 42d parallel;
thence west along the 42d parallel to
the eastern boundary Of Oregon, and
thence north to the place OF begin
ming"
Slavery Prohibited
This gave to the territory Of Idaho
all that country now embraced within
the states of Montana, Idaho and
Wyoming
The question of slavery was again
referred to in this act, but under a
prohibition which read as follows:
Provided, that whereas slavery is
| prohibited in said territory by act OF
congress of June 10, 1862. nothing here
! in contained shall be construed to au-
thorize or permit its existence there
/ in"
Montana, as it is comprised today
| did not long remain a part of the
territory of Idaho, as less than Il
months later congress, by act OF May
26, 1864, created the territory of Mon
| tana, fixing as its boundaries the iden-
teal lines which now encompass the
/ state of Montana.
That portion Of Montana lying west
of the main range of the Rocky noun
tains. just over the boundary Of the
| louisiana purchase, was in the early
days part of the country known as
Oregon. which derived Its name from
the Shoshoni Indian expression, mean
| ing THE River of the West"
But little was known Of this section
of the northwest until after it had

the louisiana purchase which had
been set apart as the district of Louis
lana was created the territory Of
Louisiana with an independent govern
ment. and seven years later by act
of June 4. 1872, the name of the
territory of Louisiana was changed to
the territory of Missouri.
Territory of Nebraska
The territory of Missouri. which thus
included all of the Louisiana purchase
from the 33d parallel north to the
British possessions and west to the
Rocky mountains, remained such for
AZ years until May 30. 1854. when
congress created the territory of Ne
braska, placing therein all of that part
of the subsequent territory of Mon
tana which lay east of the Rockies.
The boundaries of the new territory of
Nebraska were designated in the act
as follows:
Beginning at a point on the Mis-
souri, river where the 4Oth parallel
of north latitude crosses the same,
thence west on the 40th parallel to
the eastern boundary of the territory
of Utah, on the summit of the Rocky
mountains; thence north along the
summit to the 49th parallel Cana
dian boundary thence east to the
western boundary of the territory of
Minnesota; thence south of the Mis-
souri, river and down the main channel
of that river to the place of beginning
This act was passed during the early
days of the anti-slavery controversy
and the subject of slavery was men,
toned in the act under clause which
left its adoption a matter of state
option as follows:
when admitted as a state or states
said territory, or any part thereof, shall
be received with or without slavery
as their constitutions may prescribe
at the time of their admission"
Territory of Dakota
BY act of March 2. 1861. the por-
ton of the west now known as Mon
tana, was thrown into still another
territory. that OF Dakota. The bill
creating the territory of Dakota de-
scribed its boundaries as follows:
Commencing at point where the
main channel of the Red river of the
north crosses the 49th parallel the
Canadian boundary, thence south
along the main channel of that river
and along the boundary of the state
of Minnesota to the Iowa line: then
along the boundary line of the state
of Iowa to the point of its intersection
of the Big Sioux and the Missouri
rivers; thence up the Missouri river
to the mouth of the Niobrara or Run
ming Water river; thence following the
same to the mouth of the Keha Paha
or Turtle Hill river; thence up that

and F. E. Foster of Harlowton. Both
were named to four-year terms start
ing July l, 1871.
Enlargement of the board was in
compliance with a law passed by the
1871 legislature. Coolidge represents
district No. and Foster district No
2. The former is one of Montana's
pioneer oil men. Foster is a rancher
and Stockman.
Other commission members are
