Vancouver, Wash., Jan. 20. A point -, 4. .4. ... uin h Columbia VI IHIJU JUl I in ' near Washougal which Is called Van couver Point. One hundred and twenty-five years ago Lieutenant Bnuh ton of the British navy while explor ing what the Indians called "the Oreat river of the west." named this poinU after his commander. It marked the farthest point reached by Lieu tenant Broughton. Lieutenant Brougta toh made his trip up the Columbia in the late fall of IT 9 2. Kight years before, on October 19, 1784, . ther- wan born near Quebec a sturdy lad named John McLoughlin who in later years' was destined to play an important part in the history of the region being visited by Lieu tenant Broughton. He it was who selected the present site of Vancou ver as the headquarters of the power ful Hudson's Bay company, took the name of Vancouver Folnt for Ms fort and trading post and gave Van couver its name. The establishment of Vancouver aa the commercial metropolis of the Pa cific northwest takes us back to the daya of Charles the Second of Eng land.. On May 2, 170, Charles granted a. charter "Kor the discovery of a new passage into the South Sea and for finding some trade for furs, miner als, and ol her considerable commodl ties' to a party of hardy sea rovers tk.ua Bnieniureri ' When it came to choosing a name for the company It was decided to grant the charter in the name of "The Governor and Company of Ad venturers or England trading Into Hudson Bay." So profitable was the trade In "furs, minerals and other considerable commodities" that event ually there was organized a rival trading company called the Northwest company, with headquarters . in Mont real. The Hudson's Bay company trapped and traded on the' waters flowing fnto Hudson bay and dealt largely with the northern tribes of Indians. The Northwest company were supposed to trade with the Indians of the Colum bia river busin, but In reality the traders of tlie rival fur companies were constantly coming into conflict. fto outer !id the rivalry become that to prevent further bitterness and bloodshed the ffritish parliament on . July 2, 121, compelled the warring . companies to unite. The Hudson's Bay tfempany and the. Northwest" com pany jL re merged under a shorter iuiu Btvro aitumiij une mo non-, orahle Company of Merchants Ad vi tituijfcreyrrsdiug into Hudson's Bay." . The 4f thhlned companies were given a license by parliament which was to run lor ; i years irom Uecember 21, 1821. Dr. John Mclaughlin was . made chief factor of the western or ' Rocky mountain department, of the combined fur trade territory. Explorations Conducted. Prior to this consolidation the Brit ish factors of the Hudson-is Bay com pany had been busy exploring and mapping the northern territory as well as trading for furs. It was an Eimc lfshman, Ilearn, who Jiscovered the Coppermine river. In 179 Mackenzie discovered the Peace riv.er. Four years later he explored its headwat ers. Krazer discovered the Frazer river, though it was lcit to a later Hudson's Bay company party to dis cover its mouth, in 182 4. Tha Americans were confining their fur trading and exploring to the coast, Cuptain Gray discovering the Colum bia river in i Ploys of tne Missouri Far company, had established a trading: post on the Henry rw or tne Snake river in mo Columbia, river basin In 1810. On April 12, 1811, John Jacob Astor founded Astoria, but the war of 112 between England . and the United States caused him to lose his inter est there on October 16. 1818. ': Ths. Britlsa Vary, y On December 12. 1813. Captain Black took possession of Astoria : and re-A named It Fort George. Just" before , this, however, the Northwest companv j had bought all three of the American iraq in g posts, AKons, j? on uaanogan and Fort Spokane. With tbe merging of. the Northwest company an dthe Hudson's Bay com pany the- officials "began a relocation of the trading posts. Late In the fall of 1824 George Simpson, governor of tbe Hudson's Bay ' company, in com pany with Doctor John MeLonghlin, the chief factor of the Rocky moun tain deDartment. visited their -head- Quarters at Fort George at the mouth .

Dr. XcXrfraghlln zn Authority. To Doctor McLoughlin was given the task of ruling over a region of un known extent and of administering justice to hundreds of employes and thousands of Indians. He had su preme authority and Jurisdiction in military and civil affairs. His attri butes were almost those of sovernelgn government, so it is little wonder that the Indians looked upon "The White Headed Eagle," as they called him, as -The king of the Columbia. " Doctor McLoughlin began the build ing of Fort Vancouver in December, 1824. The work of building tbe log houses and the stockade was carried on during the winter and by the spring of 182S Fort Vancouver was' the headquarters for the northwest of the Hudson's Bay company. The site for the fort or stockade was on the first rising ground back from the river at out a mile. Because the sup plies that came by ship from England once a year and the furs that came by batteau from the upper country had to be carried a mile from the river back to the fort and because ali water for the fort had to be hauled here about two years ago to accept a position with an express company Jn Los Angeles, California. For the past year nothing had been heard from him until word of his death came in a telegram fronf Mr. Ada Webster, at Los Angeles. Zrocated a Viae. In a letter received from Mrs. Web tser later, particulars of the tragedy are given. She and her son and iter mother and Ballard left Los Angeles about a year ago In an automobile, lo cating a short time later on what they supposed was an abandoned mining claim near Secret Pass, Arizona. The mine, it seems, had originally been lo cated by an old man named Smith, who recently returned and demanded pos session of the claim, which was re fused by Ballard. On tbe morning of January B, Bal lard went to the mine to work as usual. At noon Mrs. Webster took his lunch to him. She found his body in the mouth of the mine. It had been rid died with buckshot and an attempt had been made to blow it to pieces with dynamite, but without success. Murder Is Charge.

Terses Convey Utm times ts. It is not known whether or not Mc Gowan wrote the verses, but it is be lieved possible that he did, aad any way, the sentiments expressed come as his last word. Frank McGowan was a nephew of A. H. McOowan of Portland, business manager of the Reed institute. Made an orphan by the death of his father in British Columbia about three years ago, he came to Oregon to live with relatives at Amity. As the war ground on. the lad, only 17 at the time, felt the call and quiet ly slipped away to British Columbia to enlist in September, ltls. Fol lowing a period of training he was eent to England last Easter. More training, and he went to the front in August, as a member of the signal detachment of the Seventy-second Ca nadian Infantry battalion. ZHed With Smile on 81s Taee, How he met his end is told by Ser geant F. J. C. Ball, formerly of Port land. In a letter recently received. "Toung McGowan was in my sec tlon." writes Sergeant Ball, 'and was carrying a message through the trenches when a shell exploded neer him. He was not fatally wounded and made for a shell hole (t obtained this information from a dispatch runner who accompanied him ana who -was also wounded). The Beaches evident ly saw him fall, and dropped severs' more shells in the hole, and the shock, on top of the wound, killed him. When foundf he was sitting In a shell hole with a quiet smile on hie face, show ing that he did not suffer. mM mfkimmVl mmrmm n ami. mmm Mti.h (OootUraed Trom Par One.) quiring; publication of claims, proceed ings and whatnot, furnish yards and yards of "copy." House Bill No. 63 is for the pur pose of "standardising" the charge. It does not say that the rate shall be "not more" than so much an inch, but It comes right out and says "the compensation for the publication of all notices, summonses. citations, county financial statements, reports and proceedings mentioned In chapter VI, Lord's Oregon laws, notices of sheriffs sale and other legal adver tisements shall be" and then drifts off into the realms of "folios" and "ems," unknown quantities to the com. moo mind.

About 120 members of th lodge were preet. . the residents of Vancouver will won-!mnts, recognizing the futility of the der at the lack of vision of the citi zens of today. Fifty years ago Judge Matthew P. Deady, writing of. the Portland that then claimed a population of 7000. said that the day would come when Portland would have 60,000, though it would never be apt to have more than that population. He was looked upon aa a harmless visionary for claiming that Portland could ever grow to a city with a population of 60,000. When Vancouver has a population ! of SO',000, and that is not looking very far into tbe future, its citizens will begin to realise that her location Jus tifies a population of double or treble .that number. . . The way to make Vancouver grow is publication plan, mail their notices of delinquency Just as they formerly dll, doing this in order that the delinquents shall be given definite and certain no tice of their lapses. Tbe tax collectors of tbe state, as a general thing, do not consider the pub lication plan to be effective or econo mical. - - The very fact that many of them I supplement it with letter , notices, shows it to be Ineffective, and they wil! : talk personally, and privately, and em phatically, in favor of wiping the pub- lication statute off tne books, t The pressure of the up-state press has- been successful for two sessions ot the legislature In preventing the repeal of the law.
