THE MEMORY OF McLOUGHLIN
People of Oregon City Are Commended By "The Pacific" of San Francisco, For Restoring
Historic Home of Father of Oregon.
The people of Oregon City. Oregon,
are to be commended In that they
have purchased and will keep as a
memorial the old house at (hnt pluce
In which Doctor John McUmghlln
lived for ninny years after ho resigned
his position as chief factor of tho Hud
son's liny Company at old Kort Van
couver on the Columbia.
Doctor Mclaughlin hns been rightly
called "The Father of Oregon." it
may be that with almost nnv other
Kngllshinnn in chnrgo of the Hud
son's liny Company uffnlrH In the Pa
clflc Northwest the line bet keen the
I'nlted States and tho British pos
sessions would probably bo further
south than It Is.
Wo believe that Dr. Mnrcim Whit
man had much to do with the saving
of "the Oregon Country" to tho Amer
ican republic. When tho wheels of
his old wagon wont rumbling down tho
western slope of tho Hooky moun
tains and the first evidence had been
given thus that women ami children
could get over what the great llrltlsh
fur-trading company reported as im
passible harriers the way was opened
up to civilization for homes which
later did mure than anything else In
locating tho boundary line whore it
was located.

thllt they would have been lIlllUUIIflflMl

At one time when an unusually

The capacity of the store build

Grand Jury la Discharged. -

the grand jury Friday after a very
buny term. If any thing of Impor
tance COmeg I1D thev will he ni-aln
called together about the first of the
coming year.
Influence and power, and a little later
took up life as an American resident
nt Oregon City, whore In early days
he filed on a tract of land. Although
In due time ho declared his intention
of becoming an American citizen and
nctnnlly became such as soon as pos
sible, to the everlasting shame of cer
tain designing men It was not until
five years nfter his death that title
wns secured by his descendants to
his land. He who hnd done so much
for Oregon ploueers. a person of sln
gulnr uprightness and beauty of char
acter, wns persecuted nnd defrauded,
and went down to his grave a broken
hearted man.
But in the yenrs since then this
grand old man has been gradually
coming to his own. Mrs. Eva Emery
Dye, In her historical novel, "Mc
Loughlln nnd Old Oregon," hns done
much toward bringing the old hero
to public nottv-e and esteem. Mrs.
Dye snys thnt after ho hnd taken res
idence nt Oregon City. "Always the
front door of Mclaughlin's house
stood' open. 'Wo must never leave
the house nlone, mother,' he would
say. Some immigrant might come
that needed our help."
Kor several years a flue three-quarter
life-size portrait of the old doctor
has had the place of honor In the
Senate chamber of the State Capitol
at Sulem Immediately back of the
chair of tho president of the Senate.
It was presented to the state in 1889
by the Oregon Pioneer Association.
In ncceptlng it on behalf of the state
the (inventor said of McLoughlin:
"While ho was loyal to Ms country, he
wns, ns became his lofty character,
more loyal to his conscience; and
while never forgetting hla full allegi
ance as a Briton, ho never forgot his
higher duty as a man." And further:
"Then, let this picture of tho grand
old man, whose numerous deeds of
charity are Inseparably Interwoven ln
the early history of our State, ever
enjoy the pluce of honor It now holds;
nnd when our children and our child
ren's children shall visit these ven
erated halls, let them pause before the
portrait of this venerable man and do
homage to his memory, who, with his
patriotic devotion to his counlry ami
his devout service to his God, crowned
the full completeness of his high char
acter with an unmeasured love for
his fellow-men."
Prom time to time a monument to
"Tho Father of Oregon." located at
some appropriate spot, hns been sug
gested, but nothing definite toward
thnt end hns ever boon done. Wash
ington as well as Oregon ought to
net soon, and together to erect nt Van

No Reduction for Espee.
The netition of the Southern Polfir.
Company to have its taxes in this
county cut in half wiu denied Friday.
The court ruled that the Pomnnnw tmi
been assessed and taxed as fair as
Is possible to do so.
Hudson's Bay Company chief did for
the whole Pacific Northwest. It has
been well said by Mr. Frederick V.
Holman, one of the directors of the
Oregon Pioneer Association: "What
ever John McLoughlin did to or for
the Oregon settlers, missionaries and
Immigrants, he did to every citizen of
Oregon, man, woman and child, for
all time, then now and to come. In
honoring him we honor ourselves. To
fall to honor him and his memory,
we would dishonor ourselves."
The Oregon legislature won wide
appropriation when a few years ago It
restored the name of Mt. McLoughlin
to thnt lofty snow-clad peak in the sou
thern part of the state which for sever
al years had been called Mt. Pitt. He
fore 1838 it was named by early resi
dents for McLoughlin.
In the Temple of Fame at Washing
ton, Oregon ought to place the name
of McLoughlin. Mr. Holman has
rightly said: "Of all the men whose
lives and deeds are essential parts of
the history of Oregon, Dr. John M2
Loughlln stands supremely first: there
is no second. In contemplating him
all others sing Into comparative insig
nificance. You may search V.? whole
world, nnd all Its histories from the
beginning of civilization to toduy, and
you will find no nobler, no grander
mnn that Dr. John McLoughlin. His
life and character Illustrate the kin
ship of man to God. He was Clcd-like
In his great fatherhood. In his great
lirength. In his great power; ho was
Christ-like In his gentleness, in his
tenderness, in his loving kindness,
nnd In his humanity."
"We would have died, had it not
boon for Dr. McLoughlin," has in the
yenra since then been the testimony
of Oregon pioneers: "For the first
throe or four years after I came If
he hnd not helped us we could not
hnve lived in Oregon." said one in
1906. nnd another: "History says.Dr.
Whitman was the man who saved
Oiegon to the United Stal-in, but that
Is not true. It wns Dr. John McLough
lin of the Hudson's Hay Compnnv.
So says every man that Is a man
who came to Oregon up to 1849. He
furnished the entire immigration with
food and clothing for the first year
after we came. The people did not
have money to live on, and so he fed
and clothed us all; and some never
paid him."
Once when the good old doctor who
had aided a needy man was asked
what his bill was, the replv was:
"Tut, tut, tut! bill, bill, bill! Take
care of yourself, sir, that's the bill."
When the man urged that the doctor
couldn't afford to care so long for him
and his family, the words were: "Tut,
tut, tut: you do the best you can for
some other man who Is In trouble, and
thnt will repay me."
HAWLEY IS COMING
TO SEE OUR TOWN
COMMERCIAL CLUB MAY AR
RANGE LUNCHEON IN HONOR
OF CONGRESSMAN.
Willis Chatman Hawley, congress
man from the first district of Oregon,
will be In Oregon City on Saturday,
November 20. Mr. Hawley will spend
the afternoon here, but he will be un
able to remain here for the evening,
and as a consequence It will be Im
possible to arrange any reception In
his honor. It Is probable, however,
that the Board of Oovernora of the
Commercial Club will arrange for a
luncheon at the noon hour on Satur
day, and In this manner give the mem
bers of the club and the business
men an opportunity to meet Congress
man Hawley. For this luncheon only
a nominal charge will be made. Pres
ident Thomas P. Ryan, of the Com
mercial Club, Is endeavoring to have
all of the members of the Oregon

HOUSES ARE IN DEMAND.
Secretary Davis, of Commercial Club,
Says People Want Quarters.
Houses are In demand in Oregpn
City, according to S. P. Davis, secre
tary of the publicity department of
the Oregon City Commercial Club.
"Eastern correspondents who are com
ing here are asking me for houses to
rent," said Mr. Davis, "and from .time
to time they come to my office with
the same request. In some instances
they have gone elsewhere because
nothing satisfactory Is available. I
would be glad If owners and agents
would furnish me with lists of what
they have for rent, and I w-ould fur
ther suggest that those who are able
to do so should build houses to rent,
as the demand for them Is certainly
to be great."
DOG A VICTIM OF
DASTARDLY CRIME
UNKNOWN BRUTE POURS KERO
SENE ON GLADSTONE ANIMAL
AND THEN SETS ON FIRE.
One of the most cruel and dastardly
acts toward a dumb brute came to
the knowledge of the Clackamas Coun
ty Humane Society, a few days ago.
A bull dog, belonging to Mr. and Mrs.
WhPeler, of Gladstone, left the place
of Its owner for a few hours, and upon
Its return it was found that the ani
mal had been tortured in an unmer
ciful manner by being saturated with
kerosene and then set afire and set
free. The dog returned to the home
of its owner In a frightful condition,
and suffering intense agony. Mr.
Wheeler is in a hospital in Portland,
suffering with a broken limb, and his
wife being confined to her bed by
Illness nt the time the deed was en
acted, the latter reported the matter
to the Humane Society as soon as
she was able to do so. and Humane
officer Bradley left for Gladstone,
where he ended the sufferings of the
poor nniniul.
The Humane Society and others
interested in its good cause are do
ing their utmost to bring the guilty
parties to justice and give them the
"medicine", which they deserve. Any
one guilty of Ruch a henious crime
should siifTer the full extent of the
law. The Humane Society has had
many duties to perform since its or
ganization In this city, but this one
mentioned Is tho worst on record.
Anyone knowing the Identity of the
brutal perpetrators would confer a
favor by communicating with the
Clackamas County Humane Society,
which wishes to make an example of
such people who take a delight in
tantalizing and torturing dumb ani
mals in such a cowardly manner.
