Tribute to the memory of Pr. John
McLonghlln. who- came to Astoria In
TI4 as head of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany In the Oregon Country, and who
founded the first school on the Pa
clfle Coast, was psld In an address
by Frederick V. Holman. Mr. Holman
pointed out that, whlla Dr. McLoughlln
had been dead nearly M yeans, his re
markable life eras so closely Interwoven
with the upbuilding of Oregon that re
iteration of his good could never become
tiresome.
Even thongh he was employed by an
English company whose chief aim was
to suppress rival American fur-trading
companies. Pr. McLoughlln. while serv.
Ing at Astoria and Vancouver, between
1:4 and 14. was Impartial to set

passed a law which gave Its courts
Jurisdiction of civil and criminal mat
ters, and this law probably applied to
Canadian and possibly other British
subjects. No attempt was ever made
to enforce this law on citizens of the
United States.

"I cannot In this address gtt Into the
details of how he was deprived of part
of Ids land claim by some of the early
misalonariea whom he had befriended
and protected, and by their associates.
Through a conspiracy composed of
some of these early missionaries and
their associates and by means of the
Oregon donation law of September 17,
18S0. all the rest of his land claim,
not disposed of by him prior to March

Oregon to found a university.
"And though so unkindly treated b

saved from privation, his nsme had
spread as far as Rome, and In 18(4,
Pope Gregory XVI made Dr. McLough

honor which he could not well refuse

McLoughlln ever used the title or even
mentioned lt
"His death was on the third day oi
September. ll7. I can give no better
Instance of the esteem In which he was
held by the Oregon pioneers than to
say that his house was situated more
than a quarter of a mile from the
churchyard where his body was to be
buried: there waa no hearse In those
days, and a wagon waa brought to carry
hla body to the church. Without pre.
concert, but with a common Impulse,
the pioneers that he had helped took
the coffin from the pallbearers and
passed It from hand to hand, carrying
it all that long distance, with love and
regret.

nrst few hours of the ascent were
without event, for heavy clouds hung
over the face of the peak, hiding every
thing from view.
At an elevation of 8.000 feet, how
ever, the cluuds were left behind and
the view that was presented was un
surpassed. The ocean of rolling clouds
hid the valley from sight, but the
mountalna rose majestically above us
on every hand like islands. Rainier, St
Helens. Bakr, Shukan and the lesser
peaks of the Chelan region were all
visible. The ascent was made in four
hours and forty-rive minutes. Those

The Mazamas broke camp August IS
at Buds Creek Pass and traveled about
ten miles to a meadow near Pulattle

main party then returned to Stehekln
by way of Agnes Creek, while two fish

Creek to join their companions at
Lucelne.
The ascent of Glacier Peak by a large
Mazama party was accomplished on
August 11. This being the official

The entire day was allowed for reach

however, the sun suddenly broke
through the clouds and as by magic
the fog disappeared, at least from the
higher altitudes. The climb was a com

first up along the side of Chocolate
Glacier, then followed an easy lava
ridge, then over the rock, crossing a
wide rnowfield Intersected by crevasses,
and Anally over a somewhat steeper
rise of larger rocks to the summit. The
ascent from Camp Trouty was made in
six hours and two minutes, or almost
two hours quicker than the ascent
made by the mountaineers.
Quick Descent Made,
The view from the summit was long
to be remembered. To the west and
north as far as the eye could reach

over the landscape, but allowed glimpses
of the valley below. The return to

ferent points, and takes In some of
the territory which is now mud flats.

provements for all of the Inlets and
rivers which empty Into the bay. These
improvements, if made, will make the
streams more useful for the ranchers

make all of the waterways navigable
at all stages of the tide.
