There were quite a number of remnants
of tribes in th vicinity! of Portland, in
Oregon, and of Fort Vancouver In Wash
ington Territory. ; They had generally
acquired some of .the vices of civilisa
tion, but not of th virtues, evcept in in
dividual cases. The Hudson Bay Com
pany had held the Northwest with their
trading posts for maaw years before the
United State was -represented on the

THEOUT IS EXPLODED
Reference by Grant to th necessity of
traveling up and down the Pacific coast
by boat explodes th theory, according
to George B. Himea. president of the
Oregon Historical society.- - that Grant
stopped at Grants Pass on his" way overt
land t Humboldt bay, and that the
town was named after the officer, who
later.' became - president. ? Grants -Pass,
Hlmea explains, was named after a set
tler of the same name. -
During the winter of 1S52-3 Grant lived
hi th fort "bachelor officers' quarters"
at Fort Vancouver, his wife being in the
Oajrt.- This building was Of logs, ft still
