by the Methodist mission, tha Miiann-a-
Bay company and Ewlng Young. Cattle
vuuiu dq puixnased rrom tbee. three
sources only at a prohibitive figure, so :
th settlers consulted together to see
how best they could break the "cattle
combine." It was finally n. !rla tn J
form a company to build a boat which
snoum be taken to California ahd V
traded for cattle.
A company was formed bv PleffSant
Armstrong, Henry Woods, John Can an.
Ralph Kllbourn. Jake Ureen and
George Davis to build a boat Joseph
uaie, an oia lime sailor, but later a
"mountain man" and trapper. Was
asked to Join, the company, but de
clined, as he had agreed to form a set
tlement at Tualatin Mains with his
Old friends and comrades with whom
he had hunted and trapped In the
Rocky mountains, lie had agreed to
cast In his lot as a farmer with Joe
Meek. Robert Newell, George W. Kb
berts, William Doty and Caleb Wil
kin, but he promised his advice and
help to the company which was plan
ning .to build a boat. He. also agreed
that. If the company really meant busi
ness and got Its boat well under way.
he would oast In his lot with It and
put not only his own time and knowl
edge Into the plan, but would also put
all his property Into the enternrls.
me Doat building company selected
a site on Swan island. On Bauvies
Island, or Wapato Island as it was
usually railed, the builders found a
tall sound tree for the keel. The keel
was floated to 8 wan Inland and when
dreseed it measured 48 feet and 8
inches long.
Felix Hathaway, a ship carpenter
and gunsmith, was employed to de the
work of building the vessel, but as his
pay Was hot forthcoming he quit when
the Vessel was about hair built.
The hull was planked Up to the
Waterways and On May 19, 1841. the
first ship ever built in Oregon was
launched. While the rest of th Com
pany was bringing her up to Willam
ette falls John Canan and Ralph Kll
bourn went to Joseph Gale and offered
him the command of the Star Of
Oregon.
In a letter to J. w. Nesmlth about
th building of Oregon's plftneer Vessel
Joseph Gale wrote: "My heart aSd well
Wishes Were with them. 1 sold my fafra
and farming utensils to Courtney
Walker, removed my family te l'hrti
poeg and went down and took Chars.
Kllbourn and myself did th remainder
of the Work. Kilbourn wss a good nie
ehanlo, w. continued th. work till
late In the fall and yet she was not la
a fit condition to go to na. Ueorge
Davis and Henry Woods became dis
satisfied and Withdrew from the com
pany. Had it not been for Commodore
Wilkes we would have been obliged to
lay. the Vessel up on account of not
being able to procure cordage and Can
vas for rigging and sails. He inter-
viewed Dr. MeL.ouirhlln pretty roughly.
Tbe doctor excused himsflf by saying
he thought they were making a coffin
for themselves. He said: 'There Is
Gale at the head, who lias been With
the Hudson's Bay company for several
years as a hunter and trapper. What
does he or the rest of them kno about
managing or navigating a vessel at
sear
'"Never mind. replied Caplaln
Wilkes, 'I have seen enough to con
vince me he knows what he Is about
and if you have such things as he
needs you Will oblige not only me hut
1 believe every American In the coun
try by letting them have them and
should they not be able to pay for
them, as I shall want a considerable
amount of such things myself, you may
charge the whole amount to th. and I
will settle the Same with you.'
"So the store, through Commodore
Wilkes' influence, wss thrown open to
us, but alas the season Was too far ad
vanced for us to get th. vessel In read
iness to make the passage that fall.
We nevertheless, while the chances of
getting these things were So favorable
and for fear that after the commodore
left the river they might shut down
en us again, purchased an ample sup
ply of all the necessaries we needed
such a cordage, canvas, paints and
oils, for which we paid the Hudson's
Bay company In wheat and furs."

Commodore Wilkes, who wa on aa
