Since that first Journey, ' SO yeara ago, I have made innumerable trips on the Columbia, particularly be . tween Portland and The) Dallea. Many times I have heard travelers compare the trip down the Columbia with the trip up the Hudson, and I must con fees that I have been antious to take the trip up the Hudson, ao that I could compare the two river for myself and form my own opinion as te their rela five merits. ,: ....?

Washington rvmg may not bear one out In this ; opinion, but it must be remembered that i . Washington Irving waa born on the banks of the Hudson. In one of his books Irving says: "The , Hudson la my first and laat love, and i ' after all "my wanderings I return to ' .it with a heartfelt preference over all the other rivers In the world. Though the Columbia excels the Hud aon in natural grandeur- and scenic-attractiveness, nevertheless, the man who can take a trip up the Hudson unmoved by lta charm must be a mere money making 'machine, devoid of sentiment and -without love of nature or under standing; qf . her manifold manifesta tions. . ; - .' , r Tranj Xlttle miver.

This waa in 1SJ4, and the river he discovered was christened San Germano. - y , The next year Oomes, hailing- from Portugal, but sailing under the flag of Spain, visited the river and rechriat ened It, naming It "The Rio San An tonio." In the fall of 1069 Hudson, re turning from the Arctic after an unsuc cessful attempt to find the northwest passage, sailed up the Hudson In the hope that it might be the much sought short cut to Ipdla.' - "gaming the atndaon. In reporting hta voyage when he re turned, to 'Amsterdam, Hudion called the river the "Manhattea river," from the tribe of Indians by that name who lived on what is known as Manhattan island. "The Dutch called the river by the name Hudson had given it, chang ing it slightly, however, and naming ft "The Great River of Manhattan." When a - charter was Issued to the New Netherland company in 161ft, the river was renamed in honor of Prince Morlti, and in the charter the river ia offioially designated - "De Riviere van den Vorat Mauritius." Much aa they desired to honor their fellow coun tryman, Prince Moritz. or aa he was usuauy termed, rnnce Maurice or Or ange, the name was too long for com mon usage and the river was usually rererred to aa the Groote Riviere Great River), or the Noordt Riviere . (North River) or the Manhattan River, while the charts or. other -nations showed Its name as the Rio de Montagn (River of the Mountain). With all this multiplic ity of names it finally began to be re ferred to as Hudson river, and though that hardy sea rover did not live to learn that the river he explored was to perpetrate hla memory; the name Hud son river prevailed and the others are but. a shsdowy- memory. .
