But something happened which en abled f the diplomats to fettle the question peaceably. What was the decisive factor? i I I Historians are generally agreed that the coming of Increasing numbers of American settlers into the Oregon, country, decided the issue, and gave an American tone and character, to lta4 institutions which became ineradicable. . Eng land sent a special commission to investigate the facts of the case, and the report which they brought in concerning the phenomenal In crease of pioneers from the United States, showed her plainly the fu tility of pressing her. claims, and predisposed her to conciliation. So it was the pioneers even more than the d iplomats to whom , thi3 ami cable settlement is to be credited. . But who was responsible ; for this sadden, tide ot immigration. The re Is but, one answer Jason Lee, more than any j other one man. After four; years' . hard, work, and study ot local condi tions, -he saw .that the one thing needed, both to win the Oregon Country for the United States, and also to lift the Indians to a Chris tian civilization, was to encourage great numbers of Americans to come to Oregon. For that pur pose, he made the long Journey back to the east in 1838, and cam paigned through 12 states, from ; Missouri. to Massachusetts, telling; everywhere the fascinating story of Oregon, and passionately ap pealing, for ' emigrants.. In the wake of his. appeal,, many Oregon clubs were organized and emigrant trains planned, and In 1840-1845, the, set tiers poured over the moun tains Into Oregon by the hundreds. His Influence with the cabinet and with congress was no lfess strik ing, and . many of the measures passed favorable to Oregon - were exactly as he had recommended them. When he embarked on the Ship Lausanne to return 'to Ore gon by way of Cape Horn', In 1840, he had on board a larger number Of missionaries. than had. ever em barked on. a mission enterprise from an American port up to thai time., -. f : ; . It . was. the presence of these American settlers that decided, the issue. ' When the famous meeting was held at Champoeg, out of 102 citizens present, 52 . voted for; a provisional .'government,1 and 50 voted against. Of the 52 voting in favor of American government, 28 of them were either ministers of the mission, members of the Methodist church, or men who had been influenced, to come to Ore gon by Jason. Lee . i It . is evident that behind ; the work of the diplomat was the in fluence of the settlers; and behind the coming of the settlers was the outstanddlng, commanding influ ence of Jason Lee. i i 4. And finally, the Spirit of Jason Lee was the, spirit of the far-seeing, broadminded Christian statesman. It was the vision ol a statesman, that made him select the Oregon country for the scene of j his labors. Instead , tit turning back Inland in search of the tribe that sent the four men to find the white man's book. It was a wise statesmanship that In a raw wil derness selected such sites for his mission as have since become cen ters of population, such as Salem, The Dalles, Oregon City, Astoria, Vancouver and Tacoma. ; It was the aet of a statesman that adapt ed his method to meet the peculiar needs of the Indian, and that turn ed his attention more and more to the building of a Christian civili sation among , the whites. ( Here was a man who would have com manded a following In any com munity. And we who enjoy our American citizenship in the states beneficiaries of the fact that Pro vidence should have directed such a personality at such a time on such an errand into this : great country- - The work Jason Lee did in Oregon, whose results we can so plainly see these 90 years after It was begun, .is . exactly the . same sort of work that is now going on in every mission field. It is be ing done in the Congo, In Liber ia, in Peru and Chile, In Mexico and India, in China and Korea, in Japan and the Philippines. It Is a program not only of evangeliza tion, but of education and civilization- . Backward peoples are be ing lifted up to new levels, and vast Christian empires are being built. ,. . J";- j';. ... i , - The.appaiing fact of our day, however, is that much of this vast work, so vital to the making of a better world, is being threatened by a steadily falling income. The Christians of today," as they face their, own task, need to pray of Jason: Lee, as Elisha prayed for Elijah; "I pray thee, let a double portion Qt.thy spirit fall upon me." The possession of a double portion of that spirit by the Christian world of today Is needed supreme ly, ,in order that there may be no break in the steady advance to ward peace and good will , and bet ter understanding among nations, and the building of a civilization throughout the world that is wor thy the "name Christian. s to it. and neither seem-of Oregon , and Washington are 1 1 NEW CORPORATIONS I The following articles of incor poration were filed yesterday with the state corporation department: The Kelp-O-Lite corporation, Portland; incorporators, G.

"Bring a cloth with the tea-wagon, and we'll have a table here by the fire." ' , . . "All right, I feex."

Allen Drake's voice held a subtle note of , disapproval. "Suppose she took a sudden notion to 'confide in the redoubtable Mr. Smith." ,"She won't," Lillian replied con fidently. "Katie proved herself with me when she told, us of changing those codes. ' Besides, she'll never have a charice.J I, my self, will be the "man fin. the hedge,' beside her,' and : she is more afraid of me than she is of Smith. She will know also, that I . will be . within ; hearing dis- tance of her all the way; to the house. .. And.

You realize how she adores Madge, and; you tan bet she won't pull . anything; to en danger her 'Meesis Graham,' even if. she wanted to help Smith, which, I'msure she doesn't,", . "Suppose Smith, decides to search thO room for possible lis teners " when he comes , ihto it," Mr. Drake persisted, j! I ' "Then . . Hadge , wouldn't be there," Lillian explained patiently. "There's ; a "door leading? to the side hall behind her station. She will have her hand on 'that door, which we will make noiseless, and if Smith approaches the curtains It! will be perfectly possible for her to slip out without his hearing her." .; ' ... : - ; MW have Jo slip you pie ch?cq- late cake, as usual," Mr. Drake re plied, and Lillian acknowledged the compliment with a deprecatory gesture. . ; ' . "Wait till tomorrow-evening's over,' she said, and I suddenly glimpsed, beneath her mask of ap parent confidence a very real ap prehension Of what the next night might bring to us. - "By the way, Madge," she said suddenly, "better tell Katie to shut her kitchen doors tightly and stop up her keyholes, or the' odor of coffee will wake Mother Gra ham and bring her downstairs. And I don't feel equal to the task of explaining, just now."

Aspenwali, Gervais, Ore gon, Route 2, a grower with 19 years of experience, recently gave the following in answer to an in quiry of the Slogan editor:) ; j "Advice to the loganberry grow ers: - Takean inventory of your self and your yard and see where you stand. J If.' you cannot raise loganberries -for less than 6c per pound you better quit, for you have a neighbor that can. Under present conditions I. believe that the market will be below 6c more often than It is above. If? you cannot average two tons per acre or more you better take them out and use , the , space to raise feed for cows and hogs. You patch should be in full bearing two years after planting, then with good care at the right time, and plenty of cover crops or barnyard manure, jit is good for 15 or 20 years; Don't try to make- your self believe that a yard that pro duces one or one and a half tons per acre can compete with one that averages three, nor that the cannery man will pay, you any more for your berries because it costs you more: to raise them. Quite the reverse, for quantity and quality generally go hand in hand. I believe the time Is coming soon when we will be paid according to quality. 1 should be here now.' . ; ;: ? Virtue.
