Tho history of tho Old Oregon

Why so many pooplo left comfort

perils, no ono can toll.
Tho history ot tho world doos not
record a parallel casu ot so many
peoplo traveling bo great n dlstancu
as did tho plonoors ot 1852-3 over
tho Old Oregon Trail.
A part of tho trail was traversed
by Lewis and Clark in 1805. Then
camo tho Hunt oxpodltlon in 1811-12
Ton yodrs later a party of trappers
found and crossed tho South Pass.
Thou lu 1833 Nathaniel J, Wyuth
built Fort Hull near tho present
slto ot Pocatollo, Ida., near tho
Junction ot tho Port Nuuft and
Snako rlvors. For ton years Fort
Hall was tho oxtromo outpost nud
ho wagon had over ventured boyond
that point. Finally In 1843 a thous

blazed tho trail clear through to tho
Wlllametto Valley and domoltstrnt

tho greatest ot all, tho migration
that has gouo down In history as

when throe hundred thousand mon,

places and ten feet (loop, tho soil
ground out by tho Iron tiros of tho
wagons nnd tho myriad foot ot tho
cattlo and blown away by tho winds
of tho desort.
Tho dust was dcop and Btlfltng,
tho hardships woro almost unondur-
ablo but patlonco, faith and preso
vornnco won nnd tho groat North
west was populated. It is well thut
wo pauso a moment and moditato
upon tho results ot this pllgrlmago
and do honor to thoso who sufforod
and made history for our united
Rintes. A nation which does nor
presorvo Us history nnd honor tho
momory of thoso who did gjrent
deeds and hclpod to presorvo 'the
life of that nation, soon perishes
from the earth.
It Is well for us as Americans
nnd a thinking peoplo, to prosorvo
tho history of this greaj migration
nnd sotttoment of a wlldorness, by
properly marking nnd permanently
establishing tho namo ot the Old
Oregon Trail which has attached to
it tho greatest history and senti
ment of any road In history.
Tho fur Industry of tho North
was ono of tho chlof commercial
pursuits of tho United Stntos and
Canada In tho early history of this
country. Tho Hudson Hay Company
was onp of tho largest and richest
fur trading companies on tho con
tinent. In 1787 tho Northwest Company
was formed and grow vory rich nnd
powerful. Lator on camo the Mack
inaw company which also grew nnd
pro'spored. The operations ot these
companies took In a wide scope of
country extending far west Into
American territory, Tho United
States government attempted to
trade with the Indians and attend to
supplying thorn all that tboy needed
but could not compete with tho ac
tivity and shrewdness of tho pri
vate companies which woro not
bound with government rod tape.
John Jacob Astor, an ndoptcd citi
zen of this country, engaged lu tho
fur business on a small scalo and
grudually built up u largo nud pro
fltablo business.
In 1800 ho formed tho American
Fur Company with n capital Block
of a million dollars, and bought out
tho Mackinaw Company aud formed
tho Southwest Company. Tho North
west coast of Amorlca -bocamo a
great fur gathering section aud
among the ships which traded along
this coast wns tho Columbia, lu com
mand ot Captain Gray.
In 1702 Captain Qrny discovered
tho Columbia rlvor, named aftor his
ship. Thou in 1806 Lowls nud Clark
travorsod tho continent roachod tho
headwaters 6f tho Columbia and
sallod down to tho mouth ot thu
rlvor. Mr. Astor concoived tho Idea
ot establishing a groat trading post
nt tho mouth of tho rlvor and tap nil
ot tho fur bearing country ot thu
Northwest.
His Idea was to establish a lino ot
trading posts from tho Missouri to
thu Columbia and havo China as tho
groat mart for tho furs obtained. Ho
Intorcstod with him Aloxandor
McKay' Duncan McDougal, Donnl
McKonzIo nnd Wilson Prlco Hunt.
Juno 23, 1810, tho Pacific Fur Com
pany was formed wtfh tho above
named mon as partners of Mr. As
tor.
Two oxpodltlons woro dovlsod aud
set out on foot, ono by sea and on a
by land to reach tho mouth ot tho
Columbia and establish a trading
post. Tho ship Tonqulu, undor
command -of Captain Jonathan
Thorn, "was fitted out for tho sea
voyage and tho land oxpodltlon was
placed undor tho command ot Mr.
Hunt.
Mr. Hunt proceodod to St. Louis,
which was thou tho outpost ot civil
ization, to fit himself out with n
company to uudertako tho toilsome
and perilous trip ovurland through
a snvago and unknown country.
Ilu was greatly harassod in his
undertaking by tho Missouri Fur
Company which did not rollsh tho
thought ot a rival compauy coming
Into tho Hold.
Dut by porsovorlng, Mr, Huut
finally gathered together a company
ot boatmen aud hunters with which
to mako tho Journey.
Included lu his company woro
such mou as Donald McKonzle, Jos
eph Miller, Robert McLollan, John
Day, Ramsay Crooks, Plorro Dorion,
lntorporator, John Dradbury, scien
tist, Mr. Nutull, scientist and John
Reed, clork.
Iu Octobor, 1810, tho party loft
St. Louis and proceeded up tho Mis
souri rlvor In boats, whoro a intor
camp was made. ,
Early In tho spring ot 1811, tho
start was mado from Nodawa, thoro
being tw only-six In tho party. On
tho trip up tho rlvor great flocks
of pigeons woro encountered which
at times blackened the sky, their
numbers woro so groat.
Frequent desertions woro made In
tho ranks of tho little compauy but
recruits woro also received as thoy
wont along so that tho party was
enlarged rather than diminished.
Various tribes of Indians woro on
countered on tho Jouruoy up tho
rlvor. Tho Omabas woro vory friend
ly and traded with tho party for
such things as both desired.
Uonjamln Joues and Aloxandor
Curson, two great hunters, woro met
aud induced to turn back and go
with the party, bolug a wolcomo ad
dition to tho littlo band.
Tho Poncas was tho noxt trlbo
met with and friendly Intercourse
established with L.
Tho party was next rolnforced
by tbreo Kentucky hunters who wore
on their way homo, but could not re
sist the temptation to again defy
tho wlldorness and Join such an expedition.
These mon wero Edward Robin
son, John Houack and Jacob Itlz
nor, Robinson had been scalpod
and woro a bandkerchier around his
head In lieu ot hair. Tho Sioux In
dians woro next encounterod but no
act of violonco was received at their
hands though tho company feared
meeting them on account of tholr
warlike disposition. Great herds xf
buffalo, elk and deer woro seen and
tho company did not lack for fituh
meat.
