EARLY OREGON BISTORT.
Addressee Delivered at the Golden Jub
ilee Celebration Last Week That
Are Worth Preserving.
ADDREBS Of J. D. BICE
Mont llev. Arch Unhop, Rev. Futhers,
' Ladiet and Gentlemen:
On behalf of the members of St.
John's parinli, I have the pleasure
and the honor to welcoir.e you to
this celebration tlie Golden Jubi
lee of the founding of the Diocese
of Oregon City.
T fmnlrlv Hcknowledae in V in
ability to do justice to the members
of St. Job nit parish in this repre
sentative capacity. I can not
adequately express their kindly
feelings and sentiments toward
those who have come to participate
in this celebration. I can only
gay that I know they are g'ad to
welcome you here.
As teachers and desciples of the
holy Catholic church, I welcome
vou. as men and women having
at heflrt the weiiare ana nappiuum
of humanity I welcome you, as
fellow-citizens ever solicitous for
the harmonious existence ar.d per
petuity of our common country, I
welcome you.
This is a pleasant and eventful
occasion in the history of the
Catholic church. Pleasant, for it
recalls many happy recollections to
our pioneer friendi. As their
minds retrace the corridors of time
half a century, and they remember
the free, unselfish life of those
early days, with sunshine and
happiness mingled with clouds and
disappointments, they can truth
fully eay with the poet: "Ah I
merrily passed the time despite
our wily Indian foe, in the days
when ive were pioneers, fifty years
go.M
It is an eventful occasion in the
history of the Catholic church , as
it marks the fiftieth anniversary of
the founding of the first diocese in
this great Northwest empire. The
diocese of Oregon City lives now
only in history, I believe: but its
eniiicent influence, like the fruit
of the tree of knowledge, in imper
ishable. The thousands of Catho
lic schools and churches through
out this great Northwest empire are
its heirs, and n such will serve to
perpetuate its name.
Too much credit cannot be be
stowed on the missionary fathers of
theCatholio church for their inces
sant labors in behalf of Christianity
and civilization. Men of the high
est attainments, tert of culture and
refinement, men in every way cal
culated to enjoy the most refined
society and the most advanced
civilization, they sacrificed all in
order that the cloud of ignorance
and superstition which shut out the
sunshine of God's love from the
minds ot the aborigines might be
dispelled. They were the harbingers
of Christianity from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. They were the ad
vance guard of the army of God,
conquering not by the sword and
the bayonet, but by the simplicity
of their manners, the eloquence ot
their speech, the purity of their
hearts and the nobleness of their
souls. They were the embodiment
of kindness. Were every Indian,
whose pathway through life whs
made smoother and brighter by the
love and kindness of those mission
ary fathers, to rise up mid place
a flower on their graves, they
would sleep tonight 'niiath a
wikiernesH ol flowers.
I said that as patriotic citizens I
welcome you. When I say patriotio
citizens, I mean all that that ex
pression implies, citizens who love
their country, not citizens who say
they love their country. For what
a man professes to be and what he
really is, may be as diametrically
opposite as are the poles of the
earth. Pinning a budge on the
Inpol of your coat, on which are in
scribed the words : "I am a patriot,"
don't mean anything. As Shakes
peare makes Iago say to Rotlerigo :
"It is ourselves that we are thus or
thus."
The noble men who offered up
their lives for the establishment of
tlits tree and independent nation
were patriots, but they didn't label
themselves such. The brave men
who poured out their blood f r the
preservation of this Union wer
patriots, but they didn't proclaim
it to the world. They didn't need
to. The men that went to Canada
did the most talking after the war
was over. And they and their
offsprings aie still talking. I see a
number of "The Old Veterans" here
tonight, and I especially welcome
them ; not as Catholics, not as
Protestants, but as loyal, broad
minded American citizens. They
were on the side of right in 'til,
they are ou the side of right today.
There i3 nothing I honor my father
more for than the fact that he vol
untarily fought lor the preservation
of this government and is today a
member ol your grand organization
As the immortal Lincoln so ap
propriatively said : "This is a gov
ernment of the people, by the peo-
. 1 t.wl fnr l,rt nenitle." Ag a
tr.-iTprnment it knows no man s
creed, calling or nationality. It
accords the same rights and privi
leges to the infidel that it extends
to the most orthodox Christian.
It metes out the nm rewards
and punishments to the rich and
thb poor. It extend the right
hanu of protection over the black
man, as well as over the white
man. It s u government the most
equal in its rights, the most just
in its der isions, the most inspiring
in its principles to elevate the
race of man, that the sun in
Heaven ever shown upon. The
constitution of the United Statee
which among other provisions
guarantees to you and to me and
to every other American citizen,
the riyht to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of his own
conscience, is the grandest work
ot in ii n extant today.
But alas, my friends! how
impotent are the wise provisions
of this grand instrument, when
placed in the bonds of ignorant,
narrow-minded, malicious men,
we see the most sacred rights of
American citizens all over this fair
land tcday trampled in the dust.
And forsooth by whom? Shall I
say Americans? no; Americans
believe in the constitution. Shall
I say men? I have too much re'
spect for the term. Men have
generosity, courage and manhood.
What shall I call this class to
which I refer then? There's only
one word in the English language
to apply to such a class, end that
word is traitors. Traitors to the
fundimental principles upon which
this government is founded;
traitors to the most sacred rights
for which our forefathers fought
and bled; traitors to their own
conscience if they are intelligent
enough to possess such a boon.
If not ana I believe not God
pity them.
My frieuds, I am sorry that
present conditions and circum
stances force me to speak thus ou
such an occasion. 1 would prefer
to speak to you of more pleasant
things. But we roust meet the
most urger.t conditions first. If
you love innocence and purity, and
you see a snake wound around a
bush containing a nest of young
birds, your first impulse is to get a
club. " If you are a thorough
American and you see any organiz
ation under the guise of patriotism
undermining the foundation of this
nation, you will not uestitate to do
your duty. I appeal to every loya,
American who loves liberty, iree-
dora and justice, to do all in your
power to right this terrible wrong,
which without one iota of cause
exists in this land of freedom, today.
I am not an alarmist nor a pessa
mist, but when I see honest men
boycotted iu business, intelligent
and capable teachers expelled from
our publio schools, efficient and
faithful employees discharged from
nublic nositions because of their
religion, and the constitution of
the United States trampled under
foot, I think it is high time that
something was done.
There is much more tlint I
might say to you, if time per
mitted, but your program is
already quite lengthy, so I will
detain you no louger. Again I
welcome you to this celebration
and thank you for your kind
attention.
C'O.VM ANDKIt WILLIAMS
Made a lew remarks in rvliicli he
eulogized the Catholic soldiers on
the battlefield and in the G, A. II.
and refuted the accusation that the
G. A. R. was a secret political
ord-r. and denounced all secret
political organizations. He pictured
how the Catholic sisters in the
army hospitals nursed the injured
soldiers without regard to sect or
creed. His remarks brought forth
much applause. We were unable
to get his words in writing.
MAYOR STRAIGHT'S WKLCOMK.
Itlght Rev. Arch Bixhoj), Rev. Gentlemen,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our city and its citizens
allow me the distinguished pleasure and
the honor of welcoming the Golden Jubilee
of St. John's church, a pioneer church of
this, then a wild and desolute Northwest
with its Chrisiianiziru influence, abounding
in results which made it possible for the
early pioneer to live and build among a
savage foe. From my early boyhood days I
can trace year by year the progress of the
Catholic church until now it embraces the
entire Northwest. Kven among the far and
distant tribes of Alaska's frigid shores, pro
gress is made to ascend on high.
One among the sacred rights guaranteed us
by the constitution of this broad American
country, abounding with lilwrty, is our right
to worthip Cod according to the dictates of
our own conscience. Were this not I rue,
this would not be a free country, njr
would we be a free people.
Another tiling looking toward abridgement
of tliis right is unchiiian actions in oppo
sition to the fundimentil law of our I.orl,
and should be stamped out as something
antagonistic to our government.
Friends I can not allow this great occasion
to pass by without mentioning the name of
that great and noble man, John Mclaughlin,
one among the founders of St. John's church,
abounding in all of the noble qualities of a
pure Christian and humane philanthropist,
wilh unbounded virtues, which seemed to be
inpired from on high; with outstretched
hands to welcome the early pioneers to their
home on this, then a distant shore, lie
was always ready to feed and clothe the
destitute and hungry. Therefore, let us
build to him a monument in all our hearts
worthy of these good and noble deeds, that
his virtues may never be forgotten.
Allow me a word from a worldly standpoint.
There should be naught but the kindot feel
ings. Not only by the cituenVf Oregon,Jbut
also from the Protestant churches toward
that of the Catholic church, believing as
the all do in the same Cod ana Christ. I
In unity there is -trength, and if the sins of1
this world are to 1 oercome it it cannot I ;
dor,e by haired n.T jealousy. It mut be j
done by a kindly, Christian feeling, abound
ing in love for one another. j
Jn cl ismj thee few renurks allow me as
mavor of your beautiful city, on behalf of its
citizens, to extend to you our kindest feelings
and well wishes. May the Christianizing
influences of St John's church continue to
lie spread and be felt abroad in our bind,
and may jealously and hatred continue to be
met and dispelled by the leaching of pure,
Christian religion,
miss porter's historical sketch.
As half a century has passed since the
dedication of the cathedral church of
the Archdiocese of Oregon City, it Is
eminently desirabld as well as instruc
tive that we review briefly the history
and records of our Holy Catholic church
in the northwest from the advent of the
It"inan Catholic Missionaries in 1838
to the present time
Although the Indians of the northwest
had heard of the "black gowns," (Cath
olic Missionaries) through fie French
Canadian t appers long before, it was
not until 1835 that they made a written
request though some of the latter, who
lived at French Prairie, to the bishop of
Quebec to have missionaries sent among
them to instruct them in the religion of
Jesus Chiist as taught by the Holy Ku
ril an Catholic church.
The result of this letter was that on
April 17, 1838. Very Rev. Francis Nor
bet Blanchet and Rev. Modeste Demer
were appointed missionaries (or that
part of the diocese of Quebec situated
between the facmu Ocean aim the
Rocky mountains.
Viewed at the present dny, this was
rather an extension territory for but
two laborers in the Lord's vineyard, but
nevertheless the two reverend fathers
accepted the responsibility and im
mediately entered on their holy duties
witb all the zeal and courage for which
missionaries of the Holy Roman Catho
lic church have such a world-wide re
putation. As to the measflre of their success we
will endeavor to give an account of
that later.
We, of the present generation, who
now ait surrounded by the comforts and
embellishments of civilised life, little
comprehend the trials, hardships and
damages ol the early pioneers. And
no class of that picket-guard of path
finders risked more or accomplished as
much in the way of christianising; the
savages, and thereby smoothing the
trail for those who were to follow us did
the Catholic missionaries.
At the present time we cross the
continent in splendid palace cars in
three or four days, while it required
many weary months, either by boat, on
horseback or on foot, for those devoted
fathers to cover the same distance. The
hardship of such a trip can only be
realized by the old pioneers who made
the (rip soon after in much the same
wav.
The Very Rev. F. N. Blanchet, V. G.,
left Montreal May 3d, 1838, taking pas-
ease in a bark canoe carrying the
express of the Hudson's Bay Co.
He arrived June Oth at 1st. Uunaracius,
where he was joined by his associate
Rev. Modeste Deruers. On the 10th of
July they commenced their journey for
Oregon, reaching Norway House in
seven days.
On the acth the annual brigade started
westward. It consisted of ten boats
laden with merchandise and a large
number of men, women and children.
Among the travelers accompanying; the
expendition were Messrs. Banks and
Wallace. English butanists on a tour of
scientific exploration.
The journey of the two devoted priestf ,
Blanchet and Demers.to the field of their
future missionary labors, was a long
and toilsome one, but unaccompanied
with special dangers or accident until
the arrival of the brigade at the Colum
bia river. In the trims fur of persons
and freight from that point to Hie House
of the Sakes.one of the bouts was badly
wrecked; and of twenty six on board,
twelve were drowned
The travelers Banks and Wallace,
with the wife of tiie latter were among
the loHt.
The two missionary priests, en route
at tlit) various forts and stopping places
of the company, baptized and confirmed
some wtutes and Indians, wno nau as
sembled to meet lliein. Fathers
Bbinciiet and Dealers arrived at Foil
Vancouver on the 24th of November,
1838. From this time on, the labors ol
zeulous missionaries f ir the salvutijn
of souls were constant and untiring, us
they traveled over all this northwest
country, establishing missions and mak
ing converts, and not wasting any of
their time looking alter the goods of this
world, so thut by 1844 they bad baptized
and coulirined mure than six thousand
dusky children of the forest.
Not only these but also some of the
brightest and noblest men of our
country, notably Or. John McLaughliu,
that liberal and open-banded benefactor
of the Indians, the pioneer, and of
humanity generally; but those mission
aries were not narrow men in their
good offices, and in their charitable
labors they disregarded nationality and
race. That church with the same suc
cess, with the same interest in the
aborigines, still continues its missionary'
work in that vast region so ably oc
cupied by Blanchet and Demers, the
zealous pioneers of the Oregon Catholic
Missions.
The ground on which St. John's
church is built at Oregon City was
donated for that purpose by Dr. John
McLaughlin in 1841. In 1842, Oregon
City contained sixty houses, and two
Cattiulic families, and us the prospect
for rapid increase of population was
favorable the V. G. thought it lime to
provide it with a missionary, and Rev.
Modeste Deniers was appointed to till
that position. He was appointed
pastor of the parish ou March I'd, 1844,
and on March 3d he celebrited the first
mass ever celebrated in Oregon City, a
suitable building having been secured
for that purpose. The church as we
now see it was built by Walter I'omeroy,
a pioneer builder, also a convert, in the
year 1S4.1, and was dedicated February
Hth, 184(1, in the presence of a large
gatherings of inhabitants, protestants
as well as Catholic.
On the 24th of July, lSltl. Oregon be
came an ecclesiastical province with
Oregon City, as its metropolis, and
Bishop F.N. Blanchet as it's archbishop.
In 184( the following became con
verts: Dr. J. Long, who lies buried in
the church yard at Oregon City; Hon.
1". II Burnett (afterwards first governor
of California), a man of rare intelec-tual
qualities an i a thorough patriot, always
in the front rank of those who were for
upholding and maintaining the Supre
macy of I'ncle fain iu Oregon.
In the fall of 1S47,: the ecclesiastical !
Province of Oregon Cilv contained three 1
Bishops, fourteen iesuit fathers, four;
oblate fathers, thirteen secular piteats, j
thirteen sisters and two houses of edu-
cation.
The first Provincial Council of Ore 1
goo City was held at the end of Feb
ruary, 1848, Archbishop O. N. Blanch
et, presiding, assisted by Revs. A. M.
Blanchet and M. burners.
The first Catholic church having been
erected at Portland iti 1832. in 18(12 the
archbishop removed to that city.
On July 18th, 1800, he celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary his ordination to
the Priesthood
In 1878. Bishop Chus, J. Seghers was
appointed coadjutor to Archbishop
Blanchet. from this time the venerable
man re 1 1 red from active work. He
died June IStli, 18S.I-beloved by all;
he was buried at St. Paul, Oregon
I'eace to his ashes
After (he retirement of Archbishop
Blanchet the affairs of the archdiocese
were administered by Archbishop Seg-hers
Charles J. fceghers was born in Bel
giuin December 2(ith, 18.11), and was an
Pointed Bishon of V
June 21). 1873. Toward the end of 1878
he was appointed coadjutor archbishop
of Oregon City and succeeded to the
Archbishuprio of Oregon City in 18(31
In 188J he went to Europe to get per
mission to resign his office and to ba
appointed b shop of Vancouver Island,
which request was granted.
He was a most adventurous explorer,
a divine ot great erudition and a very
effective pulpit orator. He was cruelly
murdered in 1880 in Alaska, while on a
missijii to the Indiana ot that region
by a miscreant by the name of Guller,
who was one of bis attendants. lie
was a saintly mn and beloved by al
with whom hec,rne in contact.
May hia soul rest in peace .
In the year 1884 Right Rev. Wm.
Hickley Gro,s, bishop of Savannah,
was elevated to the archbishopric of
Oregon City, and to bis zeal and untir
ing energy jg largely due the gratifying
advancement that has been made along
Catholic lines from that time to the
present. Long may he be with us, in
order that be may be able to continue
this good work .

St. Johns parochial schcol was
opened at Oiegou City in 1885. Rev.
James Rauw, who became pastor ot
St. John's church in 1883. with the
generous stipi ortof his parishoners was
able to accomplish this, as well as to
make extensive repairs to the church
and to improve the surrounding
grounds
Rev. Fattier Hillebiaud. our present
beloved pastor, was appointed pastor of

charge July 30th same year Under Ins

Not only Catholics but Protestants
have found in Father Hillebiand a ripe
scholar, and one who is ever ready and
willing to draw from his great store of
learning lor ttie ueneltt ol all, also a
sltuni b j at i lot and a sterling friend of
education gent rally.
Although the Catholics number about
one tenth of the population of the
Northwest, yet if temples erected for
the purpose of practicing our holy re
ligion, or in the cause of Christian
education, or caring for tiie sit-k nr
atllicted, are any indication of effective
effort , then have we made a record
therei:) of which we have no reason to
lee I ashamed, and that our malicious
slanderers would do wed to emulate.
Our institutions of learning are found
in every city and town ot this great laud.
our Hospitals at all populous centers.
where the sick or maimed are cared for
and where the doors are never closed
against the penniless unfortunate.
At Beaverton we have an orphan
asylum (St. Mary's Home), a model of
its kind, where the fatherless and
motherless little ones are cared for in
the the tenJerest manner by the good
sisters. While within sight of Oregon
City there is being erected an institution
of immense proportions. For what?
For a 'shelter and a home for fallen
womankind, whose doors will be open
to the unfortunate of every creed, color,
or nationality, and where they may find
ahouiiand a shelter from the chilly
and withering blasts of this cold and
uncharitable world This refuge will be
presided over by a band of noble women,
Sisters of the Good Shephard, whose
self sacrifice and devotion to the cause
of suffering humanity is above all
praise.
This short sketch of St. John's church
and incidentally of the Catholics of
Oregon, would be incomplete were we
not to devote a few paragraphs to the
manory of one who lies buried within
the little enclosure around the church at
Oregon Citv, viz., Ir John McLough-
lin, "The Father of Oregon," as he was
styled by the rsrly pioneers, was born
in lanada in 1.84 hen 10 years of
sjre he eatt rrd tlie service of the Oil
Northwest Fur Company, in whose
service he remained 24 years. In 1824
the company was merged into the Hud
son's Bay Company, whose name it
assumed and Dr. McLoughlin was en
trusted with the great responsibility of
going to Astoria and assuming; absolute
control of the whole Columbia, valley
and the Northern const, lie had the
government nf this vast region nndur
his personal control and the success of
his mission depended entirely upon his
judgment and courage Hia adminis
tration of the afiairs of the company
show the wisdom of its choice.
Old pioneers who knew the doctor,
never tire ol singing his praises, but our
limited space forbids any extended
quotations here. However, we will
give a short one from his old friend,
Jesse Agglegate, than whom no one was
better qualified to imlge. He says:
"To each immigrant, British or Ameri
can, Catholic or Protectant, who re
quired assistance and few (lid not he
gave a helpi g hand, and in such a way
as to be least wounding to the feeling of
aich he furnished seed, fond, clothing
and implements in necessary quanti
ties." For these eminent services Dr.
McLoughlin deserves a very high place
in the history of Oregon,
McLoughlin was a grand old man, with
a depth of discernment, a force of will
and an abounding humanity, which gave
him a touch of greatness He was a
Catholic, having joined the Roman
church of Oregon City under the labor
of BishopBlanchet; and his body sleeps
in a grave in the clmrchvard by tiie
riverbank, underneath a plain slab;
whose characters declare him to have
been the the "Friend of Oregon." We
will only add to this testimony that it
Is hardly creditable to the people of
Oregon that there has not been a suita
ble monumeot placed over the remains
of so great and good a man : but per
haps it is becauee the era of monument
building is uot yet come, and that there
may yet be something done in this
matter before the last of the old pion
eers, who knew him go well, hare
passed away.
