THE LOUISIANA PCRCIIASE.
Curator Ferrill, of the Colorado
Historical and Natural History
society has revived the old question
whether the Oregon country was in
cluded in the Louisiana purchase of
1803.
Binger Hermann, commissioner of
the eeneral land office, himself an
Oregouian, after careful historical re
search, has reached the belief that
Oregon was not in that purchase, and
has directed the publication of a cor
rected official map excluding it from
the Louisiana tract. Curator Ferrill
takes the opposing view, and John
son's Encyclopedia, in its article on
Louisiana, asserts that the purchase,
which Jefferson made from Napoleon
for $15,000,000, included "nearly all
of the present states of Louisiana,
Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota,
Dakota, Nebraska, most of Kansas
and the Indian territory, part of
Colorado, most of Wyoming, and the
whole of Montana, Idaho, Oregon
and. Washington."
Nevertheless the weight of history
is against Mr. Ferril.' and with Com
missioner Hermann. The boundaries
of the Louisiana purchase, as set
forth in the treaty with France, were
Tague and inJefinite. When the
treaty was under consideration, the
American minister directed Napo
leon's attention to this fact, and Napo
leon drily suggested that it was all
the better, then, for the United States,
a friendly hint which our minister
promptly accepted.
The United States acquired Ore
gon through a combination of widely
remote influences and claims, and the
Louisiana purchase was one of the
weakest pegs upon which we hung
our claim. If we had been limited
to that claim, we should have made a
sorry showin the long controversy
with Great Britain. We should have
lost Oregon.
We acquired the northwest coast
through discovery and occupation.
In point of original discovery no
other nation had so strong a claim to
the Oregon country as Spain. Her
navigators were the first to sight its
misty shores. We acquired Spain's
rights through the treaty of 1819, by
which fell territory north of 42 de
grees north latitude was expressly
declared to belong to us.
Meanwhile the United States bad
driven a strong discovery peg of its
own. Spanish, Russian and British
navigators had done little beyond
coasting along the shores, of the great
unknown land. In 1892 Captain
Robert Gray sailed the Columbia
across the bar of the great stream
which now bears the name of his ad
venturous little ship, being the first
to demonstrate the existence of the
river. In the long controversy with
England, the United States laid great
stress on this undisputed fact.
Importance was also attached to
the brilliant explorations of Lewis
and Clarke, who commanded the
government expedition sent over
land in 1804 by President Jefferson
They ascended the Missouri river,
crossed over the Rocky mountains,
and followed the wild passes and
wilder rivers to the sea.
Here were the links of discovery
and exploration. To them was added
the stronger link of occupation first
by the Astor Fur Company, with, its
posts at the mouth of the Columbia,
on the Okanogan, and in the Spokane
country. Later came an influx of
American trappers and mountain
men, then the missionaries of the
Methodist church and the American
board, and then, through the '40s, a
growing wave of immigration ' which
swept down through the Willamette
country and up into the fertile
valleys of the Puget Sound region.
