In 1543 Ferrelo Possibly sailed as far North as the Oregon boundary. In 1579 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 1783 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 Columbiiia rivet' III 1792 'by Captain ioblIrt (gray, who sailed froi stonbl1 ii the } ship Columbia to oip-n up fiurl trade. Many A neri-uan fur } . tratders followed atnl i 1511 Jrohn Jacob Astor, th helad of the 1'acific Fur comnlly, estah- 4 lished a settlement called Astor in at the mouth of the Columbia. The real openig of he Noih west was the result of the famtu } ous Lewis and Clark expedi- I tion. By 1843 a decided flow of } emigrants from the East tray elied over the Oregon 'Trail from Kansas City to the Columbia + river, and thus into Oregon. Tile trip over this route occupied about three months and the set tiers generally travelled in large parties to withstand any pos- t sible attacks from Indians. American settlers became so i numerous that the United States actively laid claim to this re gion. Spain had been forced to withdraw any rights she 'nay have had when Florida was ceded in 1819. This left Eng land and America -erjrreIling 3 over this section of the country. Final settlement, with definite boundaries between the United States and Canada, was made in 18-1. } } The Oregon territory was # formed in 1848 and the State of Oregon was taken into the Un ion in 1859 with an area of 96, 699 square miles.

Their first visits to tis regionl f d (ate back to 1010. It was not1 1 Suntil 10(18 however, that tile first I Sactual settlement was made, 4 tTis was tile mission at Sault ISninto Marie, founlded by Father 4 Marquette. Mackinac w~as es tablished a few years itter, and Detroit's growth was slow. SAfter the French and Indian wars tile Englishl took over thuis jterritory, and in 1774 it was for-4 mnaily declared a part of Canada. tDetroit rapidly grew in inpor tance and during the Revolution Iwas the base of operations for Smany raids by tile Britishl amnd Indians against the Americans. * By the terms of tile treaty of Paris in 1783 this regkon became Ia part of the United States. WVhat is now Michigan, Wiscon sin, a part of Minnesota, Illinois, Indianla and Ohio was known as thte Northlwest territory. After4 0Ohi0 was set off as a separate state the Lower 'Peninsula 'of Michigan wa6 joined to Indiana tterritory. In 1805 Michigan be Icame a separate territory with about its present boundaries.+ There was, however, a great dispute over a small strip of *land in the etreme southlern4 Sportion wh ich was claimed by - Ohko. Tis almost led to blood shed, but was finaily settled by Michigan releasing her claim to4 the disputed area and receiving as compensation an addition to, the Upper Peninsula, On this basis Michigan was admitted to the, Union in 1887 and became the twenty-sixth state. Michigan has a unique situa tion, as it is bounded by tile three largest of the Great Lakes, Iand divided tnto two peninsulas. This gives it a coast line larger .in psoportion to its area than iany of the other states. It is nauied after Lake Michligan, which is the Algonquin word, "Michi-gan," meaning "great sea." It is entitled to 15 votes ia the electoral coliege. (@ by MLcClure Newspaper. Syndieate.) Mechanic Overalls for men and boys. Union made. Hayes Depart. ment Store, Easley. ALFALFA AS A MONEY CROP. It will pay every farmer to have, at least, .one acre of - ALFA LFA for each head of live stock on his farm. It is one of the best forage crops grown and it is also one of the best money crops you can grow. If it is properly sown it will make from four to five tons to thl/acre and it is now retailed at $40.00 per ton. The first year's crop will pay a handsome profit on the outlay, and one sowing will last from eight to ten years. For the firts two or three years you are at no additional expense and " afer that it is profitable to broadcast 300 or 400 tons of 16 per c 'cnt Acid to the acre every year. It is one of he most profitable crops grown and with the Boll Weevil invading this section of the . country, farmers will find it advantageous to have as many supply crops and as many money crops as possible and Alfalfa is one of the best of each. The few acres you will have in Alfalfa will pay you very much better than twice that many acres in cotton. And then you sell your Alfalfa in the summer; just when yol need mony most. Some farmers finish their crops with their Alfalfa money. It sllmll hu e sown in September, on good, strong, red, well. A ai draI I mld, well fertilized and well lined.
