SECRETARY GEO. H. HIMES OF

CIETY, LOOKING UP PEOPLE
AND THING3 OF INTEREST.
Secretary Geo. H. Himts, . of the
Oregon Historical Society, Is down
from Portland, on one of his seml-oc-caslonal
tours of thl historic Qld
county, shaking hands with the mem
ber of the great society here, and dis
cussing me'bods and means and' pur
poses Incidental to the progress of the
task they have undertaken for the
good of posterity.
In the course of a conversation yes
terday morning with a reporter of the
Astorian, Mr. HIme said, among oth
er pleasant and useful things, that
he hadj lately enjoyed a long talk
with Mr. Azel H. Fish, of Isllp, New
Tork, a man devoted to the pursuit of
history, and a lecturer of pronounced
ability and standing, who is touring
the coast at the present time on a
course of lectures on historical topic,
and that In the interchange of view
between them, Mr. Fish, who has been
lecturing upon the basis of information
supplied from California sources, de
clared that be would be compelled to
revise the entire text of his lecture
on coast history, to conform to the
authentic and mors comprehensive
data of tHe Oregon Society and thus
give to his auditors and students of
history, a more reliable expression of
the great details, as he had gathered
them from the records of the Oregon
Society, which he joined In order to
perfect his "search Into the realm of
the past as it applied to Oregon. This
I an indication of the excellence Of
the work done by Mr. Hlmes and his
colleagues, and is creditable in the ex
treme. During the past few weeks -Mr,
Hlmes has had the pleasure of enter
taining as guests at the society head- 1
quarters at Portland, four professors :
from the California - universities ' at '
Stanford and Berkeley, who have been
delving into the data maintained
there; and he says they were aston-
Inhed and pleased at the volume and
correctness of the records maintained
by the society.
He reports everything going on
smoothly and satisfactorily and is very
much in earnest about securing the
Congressional appropriation for the
monument which is to be erected on
the site of old Fort Clatsop In this
county, and Is Invoking all the local
Influence possible In this behalf.
Another good piece of work done by
the Oregon Society Is th Installation

vised and approved histories of the
Pacific northwest and of Oregon, par
tlcularly, as sources of Instant and re
liable reference for the teacher and
