All we know is that our monument is gone, and that George H. Himes has it. The manument, Mr. Himes continues, is in the cus tody of the Oregon Historical Society (which is graciously holding it for the state of Oregon) a very worthy institution made up of some 800 fine citizens of the state, of whom James W. Welch does not appear to be one. Just what authority we of Astoria ver gave to the Oregon Historical Society to hire or induce some ghoul to steal our monument, that the society might hold it for the great com monwealth of Oregon, does not appear from Mr. Himes' letter; but the fact stands out in bold relief that he has our monument. It is not clear that As toria ever authorized the state of Oregon to authorize the Oregon Historical Society to hold that monument lor mis city. Mr. Himes says the monument has been seen by 50,000 people, to whom its historic associations and its relations to Astoria have been explained; and that, in this manner, thousands not hundreds, mind you, but io-sands have become aware of the ex istence of Astoria, a fact which never in any other manner would have been brought to their notice. While we are inclined to take with a grain of salt Mr. Himes' statement that people who visit Portland are apt to be ignorant of the existence of Astoria, especially those thousands Avho are interested his torically, we stoutly maintain that we want to dis play our monument down here. It's ours; we want it, and we're going to have it. Nor do we fancy the slighting reference which Mr. Himes sees fit to make concerning our graveyard. Whether or not cattle have been permitted to run at will in the cemetery, the spot was selected many years ago by those with dead to bury; and most of us would much rather have the place overrun with innocent cattle, bent solely on a grass-eating mission, than by ghouls whose object was the theft of the gravestones of our forefathers. We are assured, in Mr. Himes' concluding para graph, that the Oregon Historical Society Astoria's self -constituted guardian will return the monument if it is convinced that the relic will be properly eared for. Let us say to you, Mr. Himes, that you will return the monument without any such assur ance. The man who takes what does not belong to him is a thief; and the man who accepts such prop erty, knowing the manner in which it was acquired, is likewise amenable to the provisions of the laws of this very state. He is quite as guilty as the vandal ; and perhaps this is the reason Mr. Welch saw fit to accuse you of having made off with the monument, j McTavish was a British subject.. After his un timely end in the waters of the Columbia, Great Britain ceded back to the United States the Oregon country surrounding Astoria when Portland was not thought of and the Oregon Historical Society had not come into existence to establish protector ates over mismanaged communities that did not understand the art of caring for their valuable his torical relics. Usually such treaties contain pro vision that the country ceding the land shall remain in possession of the graves of its subjects, which doubtless was the case when England gave back the territory which she had acquired. If there were any such provision in the treaty, it follows that the re mains of McTavish and th,e monument really be long to the British government ; and one may search in vain for any agreement on the part of Great Britain whereby the Oregon Historical Society was made custodian of its valuable relics. - Apart from all JthisJ. however, Jiie society should, if it wanted the monument, have made decent ap- ers. . av. ii e i i- ... ..
