DM. W'IHTALAj'S RIDE.
How Oregon Was Snatched-
from the Hudson Bay
Company.
Galloping for "Washington and
Webstlr" A Terrible Trip Across
the Plains in Mid wintkr The Re
turn Caravan.
In 1836 Dr. Marcus Whitman tnal
fain partner, Spaulding, with tlitir
wire, wtnt to Oregon under tha u-
was
a bridal tour, begun Irt'.Mui a.il
ed at tlin gates of Fort AValla Wall
in September. A cuiious feature of
the trip was an old wagon, knovn in
history as "AA'hitmah'a wagon." He
was (letrmined to get it" through to
demonstrate the feasibility of emigra
tion. The Hudson By Company dis
couraged eiery roll of iti old wheels,
and tltrew every obstacle in the way.
It was dismembered, dragged liv
pipce", ingloriouIy dwindled to the di
mpiuions of a cart, hut, through tlir
indomitable will of its owner, it kept
rolling toward the Pacific.
Piiortol812, thu United States
and England weie in joint occupation
of the Oregon region.
It wa generally understood that
the country would be English or
American, according to the tide of
emigration. One day in October,
1842, Dr. Vhitman was called on a
professional errand to Fort Walla
AValla, twenty five miles from his home
It was a trading pont of tho Hudson
Bay Company, and was quite jutiliant
just at thii tinit. over the annual line
of gcod. Tables were spread for the
feast, at which tho doctor found him
self a So'itary Amelia m. The festivi
ties were at flood tide, when an ex
press courier rushed into the fort and
shouted that an English colony of 140
persons was on its way up the Coluin
bin. In the excitement of the mo
merit a young Englishman jumped to
his feet and exclaimed, '"Hurrah for
Oregon! America is too late! we hae
got the country!'' The drctor excused
himkelf at the earliest possible rao
neut, and in two hours pulled up his
foam flfcki". pony at his cabin door,
niacin known the English plot btfore
diimounting, and his determination to
ret out for Wiuliington and return tlm
nvxt summer with a caravan of emi
grants. None could dissuade him; he
tnustgo;tlte rebter AUilmi ton Ufa
ty was pending; the Oregon question
mu be settled before congress ad
journeil on the 4:h of March; Oregon
must be saved!
CROSSING TIIK CONTINENT.
In !fs than twenty four hours ho
was in the saddle, galloping for
'Washington and Vbster." Home
and wife bu'uiud bim, wiater and 4,000
milet before bim! With Amos L
Lovejoy and a guide, he bounded over
the trail, through Fort Hall, whosa
iealous commandant would have beea
glad to Lava been detained him bud
ho not shown a "pass"' from Lewis
Case, secretary or war. The nioun
tniii'i are passed, but winter is betting
in, and has a. ready frozen the rivrrx to
rapid cuerent. Impassably Not to
the doctor and his eirxnd of life or
death to Oiegoul He rides Ins horse
to the edge, Miid then horse und rider
are pushed into the angry current;
out of sight; there tliey aro flatiiig
far down to thu other side; a jump to
ih ict-; good lirt and dry clothes
again. Loit in tlm snow; w-mdr-iing;
freezing; ding; almoit buried; hope
entirely gone; epry aenue of esca a
cut on saedliya mul3 ear! His
Mexican rider noticed some peculiar
twitching and movements of the
auricular appendages, as if their own
er was cogitating a scheme. In a little
while the animal, left to himself, led
them to the slumbering embers of
their morula, fire.
Precious time lost! Seven days to
Fort AVinler for another guide; an ex
tra ride f jr Whitman! To avoid lioe
tilo Indians lie makes a sharp dt-ticc
tion to the. south at Fort Hall, to go
by Salt Like, and theucj to Bent's
fort on the Arkana, and follow up
the Santa Fe trail. Herr he is at a
branch-of the Arkansas;, no material
for fire on y on tha other side; thin
ice;rapid curretr; Whitman lays flit
on his back "wrigglp.V himself across
secures wood ana poshes it back
over tlm thin ice.
Bent's fort? half w& threo months
in the saddle! his companion broken
down and left; new out (it. After
retting four dajs the wiry doctor take
the spur again, aud scatters rumors of
an imrueine emigration to Oregon?
"Meet us at Wtport on the Mis
souri next June!' "Good wagon road!"
As he came flying up the trail he dis
tributed circulars, settiag rat tat ad
vantages aud rciourcaaof the wonder
ful El Dorado "Nat June we will
meet tent" In nch tnthuisura bo
arrived in St. Li'dis; though nipped in
nf nes, tee, hands aud face, he could
talk of bat one business the fate of
Or'gnti; "Westport next June!" "Is
thu country passable?" "Passable"
we can imagine him replying "Look at
me; I Uivts eomv throtiglHn .-lhntdeadr
of winter!'' One Took would havo for
ever impressed upon memory; buffalo
overcoat and head; "ouckskin breeche?;
fur undergarments and vest; fur leg
gina; boot moccasins; face scarred with
the bitter frosts; "meet us in June,"
and he is o" for Washington, whero
he arrives March 3d, the last day of
the session, and just five months from
thn da) when ho spurred down tho
vttlley from Fort Walla Wulla.
RACK TO OREGON.
But what of the treaty? It had
beu signed and proclaimed as the law
