SAVED US VAST TERRITORY. The Perilous Journey of Four Thou sand Miles From Oregon to Washing ton Made by a Bravo Man and th* Results Which Followed In Its Wake. Tho ride of Marcus Whitnmu was over snow capped mountains and alone dark ravines, traveled only by savage inen. It was a plunge through icy rlv < rs and across trackless prairies, a ride of 4,000 miles across a continent in the dead of winter to save a mighty territory to tho Union. Compared with this what was the feat of Paul Revere, who rode eight een miles on a calm night In April to arouse a handful of sleeping patriots and thereby Bavo tho powder nt Con cord ? Whitman's ride saved three stars.to (ho American ting. It wns made iu is 12. in 1T;?'2. during the first administra tion of Washington, Captain Uobcrt fSray, who had already carried the American "flag around the globe, dis covered the mouth of the Columbia river. He sailed several miles up the great stream and landed anil too!; pos s.>ssion in the name of tho United States. In 1 St 13, under .IclYorson's administra tion, (Iiis vast territory was explored by Captains Lewis and Clark, whose reports were popular reading for our grandfathers, but the extent and vnlue of this distant possession were very slightly understood, and no attempt at colonization was made save the estab lishment of the fur trading station of Astoria In 1S1I. Strangely enough. England, too, claimed this same territory by virtue of rights ceded to It by Russia and als?> by the Vancouver surveys of 1702. Tho Hudson's Bay company establish ed ll number of trading posts and Piled the country With adventurous fur trad ers. So here was a vast territory, as laI'gc as New Ungland and the state of Indiana combined, which seemed to lie without any positive ownership. But for Marcus Whitmnn it would have been lost lo the Union. It was in 1830 that Dr. Whitman and a man of the name of Spanieling, with their young wives, tho first whlto wo men that ever crossed tho Rocky mountains, entered tho valley of the Columbia and founded a mission of Iho American board They had been sent out to Christiani/.e the Indians, but Whitman was also to build a stale. lie was at tlds tlmo thlrty-?ve years old. In his journeys to and iro for the mission lie soon saw tho vast pos sibilities of tho country, and ho saw, too. that the English were already ap prised of this and were rapidly pour ing into Iho territory. Under tin; terms of the treaties of 1818 and 1S2S it was the tacit belief that whichever nation ality settled ami organized tho splen did territory would hold it. If Eng land and the English fur traders had been successful in their plans, the three great states of Washington, Ore eon and Idaho would now constitute a part of British Columbia, lint it was nut destined to bo. In the fall of 1842 it looked as if (hero would be a great inpouring of English Into the territory, and Dr. Whitman took the alarm. There was no time to lose. Tho authorities at Washington must bo warned. Hastily bidding bis wife adieu, Dr. Whitman started on his hazardous journey. Tho perils, hardships and delays bo cn countored on the way w? can but faintly conceive. His feet were frozen, he nearly starved, and once ho came very near to losing his life. Ho kept pushing right on, and at Um end of live terrible months he reached Wash ington. lie arrived there a worn, bearded, strangely pieturesqtm figure, clad en tirely in buckskin and fur, a typical man of the prairies. Ilu asked audl OIICO of President Tyler and Secretary of Slate Webster, and it was accorded him, All clad as he was, with his frozen limbs, just In from his 4,000 mile ride. Whitman appeared before the two great men to plead for Ore gon. His statement was a revelation to the administration. Previous to Whit man's visit It was the general idea In congress that Oregon was a barren, worthless country, tit only for wild beasts and wild men. He opened tho eyes of the government to the limit less wealth and splendid resources of that western territory, lie teal them of Its great rivers and fertile valleys, its mountains covered witli forests and its mines filled with precious treasures. He showed them that It was a country worth keeping and that it must not fall Into the hands of tho English. He Spoke as a man In spired, and his words were heeded. What followed -the organization of companies of emigrants, the rapid set tlement of Ihe territory and the treaty made with Great Britain in 1810 by which the forty-ninth parallel was mnil<* ."h* bottudnry line west of tho Rocky mountains -are matters of his tory. Tho foresight ami the heroism of on.- man and his gallant ride had saved three great states to the Un ion.- Omaha World-Herald. Par l.czcina. letter ami Salt Itlu inn.
