Successors to Steinbach & Co. Morrison At Fourth COPYRIGHT 10IS THE HOUSI OF KUPPENHKIHDI S. & H. Stamps Given Honor of Belne First M Waters of Colombia, However, Falls to Hndaon Bay Company Boat. The death in Spokane on March 8 of Mrs. Mary Jane Torrance, whose father built the first steamboat on the Willamette River, revives pioneer mem- ories. The Lot Whitcomb and the Columbia were not the first steamboats to churn the Columbia and. the Willamette. That distinction goes to the Hudson Bay Company's boat, the Beaver, an ocean going: vessel, operated by that concern prior to the launching of the Lot Whit comb. But the Whitcomb and Colum bia were the first American-owned vessels, and were the first steam craft built on these northwestern rivers. Some controversy still lingers over the question of prior completion and launching, but the weight of evidence appears to be on the side of the Colum bia, built in Astoria m asou. juoge Strong, attorney of the old Oregon Steam Navigation Company, covered this phase of pioneer history in an ad dress at the annual meeting of the Oregon Pioneer Association in 1878. He credited the Columbia with taking the water in June, while the Whitcomb was not launched until the following Christmas. "That was a great day in Oregon, said Judge Strong. "Hundreds from all parts of the territory came to witness the launch. The festivities, were kept up for three days and nights. There was music, instrumental and vocal, dancing and feasting. Portland was full of good cheer; every house was open and all was free of charge no one would receive pay. Sleeping ac commodations were rather scarce, but there was plenty to keep one awake." The aged mother whose death sug gests these backward glances was a young woman when the pioneers cele brated the great achievement of her sturdy father, whose name was let tered on this pioneer craft For, the times considered, it was a great achievement. The Lot Whitcomb was no tiny vessel. Her keel was 12x14 Inches. 160 feet long, a solid stick of Oregon fir. Her burden was 600 tons and she cost about $80,000. When the Lot Whitcomb was launched, on Christmas day. 1850, and the daughter of its builder, who died in Spokane, was a girl of 17, the coun try lay savage everywhere. Means of transportation were primitive and in adequate. Few of the pioneers could command what now are considered the essential comforts of life, and not even the residents of the little towns knew the touch of luxuries. Mrs. Torrance went, with her hus band. 40 years ago. into the unsettled Palouse country and there took up the stirring life of the pioneer where her father and mother had taken it up In the Willamette Valley a quarter of a century before.
