Mrs. M. M. Charman, one of the.
ell known pioneer of thl city, mad
an Interesting addrea on the pioneer
daya of Oregon at the meeting of the
Wotnan'a Club Thuraday afternoon.
It I the plan of tha member of tba
club to review the early hlntory of
the atata, Mr. M. M. Charman to h
the leader. Her address, which cov
ered the period from 1792 to 1840.
waa as follows:
In all countries it Is difficult to
trace the history of their early dis
coveries and aettlementa. That oi
Oregon la no exception. All the lead
ing nations of tha world fitted out
expenalve expeditions and made con
tinued effort that kept up the spirit
of dlacovery of thl Northwest coaat
for many years.
Tha 8paulah claim, and It Is gener
ally .conceded, that they were the dis
coverers of the coast.
No evidence can be found in na
tional archives, or among the native
tribes of the country, that gives the
dlacovery of the Columbia Klver to
any clvillxed people but to the Bos
ton of America; and, so far as early
blntory or national testimony Is con
cerned, we are without any. except
the conjecture of men (even as to
the name Oregon." which, however,
one writer tells us It Is supposed or
iginated from the Spanish word
O r-e j-o-n," meaning ' Big Ears" and
which nickname, first given to tn
Indiana, became also the name of the
country; while others tell us It Is
connected with the Oreat Hlver of t he
West J hence we are left to the alter
native of searching tha old logs of
vessels and such old books ns have
been written, and In connection with
tbe legends and statements of tha
Aborigines of the country, from an
opinion as to Its discovery and from
such dntes and conclusions, com
mences Its 'civil blHtory. That of
Oregon begins In 1792.
River Named' Columbia.
A ship owned by a company of Bos
ton and commanded by Robert Oray
discovered and entered the mouth of
the third great river upon the Ameri
can continent. It then had no name
known to the clvlli.ed world. Thl
unselfish American, Instend of follow
ing tho example of many British and
Spanish navigators, by giving his
own name to the majestic river ne
bad discovered, gave It that of his
noble- ship "Colurphla." On the 7th
day of May. 1792, he discovered and
ran Up this river fifteen miles to
Tongue 1'olnt, where they anchored
and allowed the vast number of In
dians that thronged around them, m
peaceable and friendly mnnner, to
visit and traffic with them. On the
20th of May. 1792, they went out to
sea again. Five years Inter and in
17)8 and 1801-2-3 and 4, this Bos
ton company sent ships to visit the
river for the purpose of a permanen.
American trade. Mr. jeiirrs...,
then president of the United States
and grasped eagerly the opportunity
to realize his long cherished desire,
and by so doing rendered his admin
istration one to be forever remem
bered by his countrymen. He sub
mitted to Congress a special message.
Congress approved the Idea and made
"an ample appropriation to carry It
Into effect. , The1 Instructions were

Bonner declares that when he. left
home. October 10. 1911, to work In

affectionate farewell, and he had no

He further alleges that during his ab
sence she sent bis fourteen-year-old
daughter Edna, by a former wife, to
her mother, although he ' was the
child's legal custodian. This, he
avers, wss done so the child could not

In his wife's name. The property orig
inally belonged to her and his claim
Is based on the money and time he
spent In making the repairs.

SPECIAL TAX LEVY FAVORED AT

MAIN MCOTAM WANTED FIRST
Dr. Basti In Urging That People
Build Road. Calls Attention
To Work On Streets
1n Oregon City. .
' Declaring that tbey wanted the
Capital Highway built as soon aa pos
sible whether It adjoined their prop
etty or not, more than 100 reaMent
of New Era and environs at a meet
ing Friday Dlght beld under the aus-pk-es
of the East Side Capital High
way Association, voted enthusiasti
cally for tha levying of a special tax
for doln the work. There was more
unanimity of sentiment at tbe meet
ing than any held previously by the
association, not a single person pres
ent offering objection to the plan as
outlined.
The keynote of the meeting was
sounded by Mr. Bryant, one of tho
civil engineers who recommended a
route through the county for the high
way He declared that the capital
highway, which would be the main
road, should be constructed first, an-1
the leterals as the money was raised.
Dr. A. L Beatle, of this city, said that
the taxpayers must not look upon tho
money subscribed for the building of
roads as donations, but as Invest
ments. '"Good roads will enhance' the valu-j
of your property two or three-fold."
said the speaker. "If you want the
roads you will have to build thein.
We can draw a lesson from the street
work In Oregon City. There the tax
payers fought over the building of
streets for years and little was ac
complished until a new charter, pro
viding that the owners of property
abutting the street should improvo
the streets, was adopted. Since then
we have been living In a different at
mosphere, and the work was advanced
with amazing rapidity. Where there
were scowls before we now find
smiles. The improvement of tbe
streets has stimulated business, it
has enhanced the value of property
and It has Increased the demand for
property. Some sections of the coun
ty are building roads faster than oth
ers. 'because they are raising the
money by special taxes. What you
should do Is to emulate the exampli
set by Oregon City, and that done, It
will not be long until the thorough
fares will be a credit to the county."
Many of those who attended the
meeting said they not only favored
a tax levy, but they would subscribe
toward a specll fund.
' An Interesting feature of the meet
ing were two musical selections by
ihe MIhsos Hoffman and a song by
George Kandall, Jr. They were forced
to respond to several enchorea.
Among those who made speeches
were Messrs. Baer, White, Hoffman,
George Randall, Sr., George I-xell,
Grant Crlteser, McArthur, W. A.
Hedges and Tim Flnnlnan. of Cano
ma"h and South End road.
president Kerte.hem told what tho
association had accomplished and out
lined the future plans. The next meet
ing will be held at Darlow Wednes
day'evenlng. This Is expected to be
the larnest and most enthusiastic
meeting held by the association to
date. A meeting will be held at Cane
mah the week following and after
that rm etlngs will be held at varlou l
Lplncos between this city and Portland.

All tbe business and professional

in tbe reception today of Governor
West, Secretary of State Olcott and
State Treasurer Kay, of the State
Canal Commlaalon, and Major Mo
Indoe. who will inspect the locks and
canal on the west side and the pro
posed routes for the east side canaJ
and locks. The members of the com
mission will arrive in the city at 10
o'clock and a large delegation Is ex
pected to meet them at the station.
An elaborate program ba been pre
pared by the Commercial Club.
Ben W. Olcott, Secretary of State,
and member of State Canal Com
mission, which will Inspect locks
today. . '
The guests will be taken through
the city and along both aides of the
river at the falls In automobllea. The
Willamette Pulp It Paper Company
and tbe Crown-Columbia Pulp A
Paper Company will furnish launches
for them to make an inspection from
the river. That tbe visit la an Im
portant one for the cfty la not ques
tioned, and whether the canal is to
be built rests largely with tbe com
mission. The state ha appropriated
$300,000 for the work and tbe United
States an additional $300,000. It Is
estimated that the total coat, not In
cluding indemnities, will be $754,000.
and It is believed that the government
will appropriate tbe rest of tbe money
needed.
Many of the business men and the
majority of the member of the Com
mercial Club favor the building of tbe
canal and locks on tbe east side. Tbe
Hawley Pulp ft Paper Company, bow
ever, has notified Major Mclndoe that
in case an east side route la decided
upon it will demand an indemnity of
$1,000,000 and it has been. rumored
that the Portland Railway, Light ft
Power Company, which controls the
water power will ask at least twice
that amount These demands have not
caused the advocates of an 'east aide
route any alarm, and It is still Insisted
that tbe big ditch should be built on
the Oregon City side of the river.
A luncheon has been arranged ror
the visitors at tbe Commercial Clua

after which It is expected that aeveral
