IThe Story of~ IOur States By3 JONATHAN BRACE SXXXIII.-OREGON IS panish ' * . who laid claim to the S discovery, of * *, o u r Pacific! /coast. In 1543 Ferrelo ~ possibly sailed aa far North as the Oregon boundary. 'In 1579 Sir Francis Drake explored for + ,England the coast considerably *north of this. Other Spaniards tmade further explorations and Captain Cook, the English navi *gator, In 1783 landed at Nootka ISound and gave It Its name.? 4Thus both Spain and England laid claim to this regIon. - The American rights to this territory were based on the dig. Scovery of the Columbia river in i1792 by Captain Robert Gray, +who sailed from Boston in thef ship Columbia to open up fur Strade. Many American fur~ *traders followed .and In 1811i IJohn Jacob Astor, the head of the Pacific Fur company, estab lished a settlement called Astor ' Ia at the mouth of the Columbia. The real opening of the North west was the result of the fam-I Ions Lewis and Clark expedl tion. By 1848 a decided flow of Iemigrants from the East trav elled over the Oregon Trail from Kansas City to the. Columbia4 +river, and thus Into Oregon. Tiw e *trip over thIs route occupied Sabout three months and the set Itiers generally travelled in large parties to withstand any pos *sible attacks from Indians. American settlers became so *numerous that the United States4 Sactively- laid claim to this re *gion. Spain had been forced to withdraw any rights she may have had when Florida was ceded in 1819. This left Eng *land and Ame'rica quarrelling over this section of the country.. Final settlemnent, with definite boundaries between the United States and Canada, was made *in -1846. The Oregon territory was formed in 1848 and the State of Oregon was taken into the Un ion In 1859 with an area of 20, 699 square miles. *((c@by McClure Newspaper Byndicate.) * EAT ONLY THE BEST OF EVERYTHING Fresh Oysters, Steaks of. all kinds, Pork of all kinds, Sausage of all kinds Breakfast Bacon, Ham, Celery, Lettuce, Grapefruit, Oranges.
