down from Walla Walla to coun

the situation. The matter was
, serious, as the WUlamettes were
waiting to see what the others
.were going to do.
The settlers and the mission-
faTies;were aroused. Something
must' be done to allay the wrath
of the red man.
. - i At the conclusion of a general
council Augustus Hines and Doe-'
tor White were delegated to gd to
Walla Walla and treat with those
Indians. ? while Lee would pacify
, the valley tribes.
v After the big pow-wow with all

participating in the council, the
I fear of the Indians was somewliat
V allayed for the time being. The
big pipe was passed around and
peace was publicly declared.

f' about this time heard that con
"gress had made no progress with
hls bill tor territorial recognition.
This news was certainly discouT
l aging to Mr. Lee.
-Lee talked the matter ot self

Americans 5 who were settling In

of opinion that some sort

7th. 1841. for the purpose of con-

Three days thereafter, February
17. the funeral was held In the
Methodist -church. The funeral
was largely attended, and at the
close the friends were asked to
tarry and discuss the plans of the
meeting of the 7th instant. Jason
Lee again i presided and Rev
Hines, a Methodist, was e lected
secretary. f;: -
As the'deceased, Ewing Young,
leftno family,' ''but a large estate,
there .seemed a -necessity f' that
some provision should be made
for handling the estate. : J ! '
The meeting passed a resolution
authorizing a code- of: laws and
the election of certain officers. A
committee was. appointed 'and au
thorized to frame a constitution
and code of laws and nominate of-
ficersrthem adjourned to the next
day. I 'f - - r4 ;
V The Next Meeting
The French Canadians were In
cited to meet with the Americans
the 'next r day, February 18, 1841.
f . 'At this meeting Rev. David Les
ie a Methodist, presided and Rev.
Hines and Sidney Smith acted as
secretaries. The minutes of the
previous meeting were read and
approved, so far as choosing the
law committee. The Americans
very much desired that the Cana
dians should participate in the or
ganization of the country.
The committee wtts chosen as
follows: Father F. X. 'Blanchet,
chairman. Jason Lee. David Don
ipierre, Gustavus Hines. Charle
von, Robert Moore, J. L. Parrish.
Etienne Lucier, and William John
son. As Jason Lee was the only
candidate for governor it was
thought best to defer that ap
pointment to a later date. The
meeting then chose officers as fol
lows;. I. L. Babcock. supreme
judge, with probate power;
George W. LeBreton, clerk of the
court and public recorder; Wil
liam Johnson, high sheriff, and
Zavier La dtroot,' Pierre Billique,
and William ' McCarty, constables,
and "until the code of laws be
drafted. Judge Babcock should be
Instructed to act according to the
laws, of the state of New York."
The meeting then' adjourned to
convene at the Catholic mission at
St, Paul, (on the Willamette river
a few miles above Champoeg) on
the 7th of June. The place of
meeting at the Catholic mission
was manifestly to placate the
French and secure their further
cooperation.
Opposition Knrountered
However the favor granted to
the Canadians did not materialize
as hoped for.( Dr. McLoughlin op
posed the whole scheme. Father
Blanchet failed to call the com
mittee together, so the meeting
was a failure. After accepting Fa
ther Blanchet'sresignatibn " . and
appointing W. J. Baily as a mem
ber of the committee, the commit
tee was Instructed to report at' an
adjourned meeting of the con
vention to be held on the first,
Thursday In October. This meet
ing for October was never held.
So mncb opposition was shown
by the Hudsons Bay people that
the Americans concluded to drop
the offort to complete the organ
ization for the present. At least,
and await the action of congress.
Nevertheless a defacto govern
ment had been organized, but not
completed. "Dr. Babcock had
been elected supreme judge with
probate powers." And for two
years he was the head and front
of authority in Oregon. He had
administered the estate of the
late Ewing Young satisfactorily
to all concerned.
However, the question of or
ganization was not allowed to
sleep. . During the winter a de
bating society was organized at
the Falls and was functioning
much of the time. The question
pf completing the territorial or
ganization was freely discussed.
At one time Mr. Abernethy pro
posed for discussion the following
question: "If the United States
extends its jurisdiction over this
country within four years, it will
not be expedient to form an In
dependent government." This
question was warmly discussed.
-Howerer, In the fall of 1142,
thevFrench I were asked to join
again In an effort to complete the
organization; of the government
heretofore left uncompleted. Al
though Dr. McLoughlin showed
considerable opposition, yet the.
French had) been submitting to
the officers j -who were elected.
Another meeting was also held at
which no progress was made, fur
ther than discussion and agitation.
Lee Leading Spirit
Jason Lee " was : the leading
spirit In fire of these meetings. He
wrote the calls and had them cir
culated, and alsos kept the suIk
ject ever before the settlers. c.
Wr H. Gray, who had come to
thQ country with Marcus Whitman
over the mountains in. 1836. had
left the Walla Walla country and
come : to the Methodist s' mission,
taking i employment .under , Jason
Lee- a carpenter. - At the In
stance 3f Lee. no doubt. Mr. Gray
?-k up the agitation for govern
ment, as Mr. Lee's name does not
again appear in connection with
the subject.; although I have seen
no 'st'nent to this effect, yet it
is a reasonable conclusion td me
that Gray, upon Lee's request, arranged-
to- carry - on this feature of
Lee's plans. ? Again Mr,: Lee had
little time for detail work. With
all his missions on bis hands he
was 'Yery busy nn;::x";: ,i!'
Mr. Cray advertised for meet-

ing to be held at the Methodist j
mission on February 2nd, 18 43. '
As this meeting had not been j
sufficiently advertised to get-out
a satisfactory number of six set
tlers, all the meeting did was to
appoint a committee of the set-1
tiers to 'circulate a notice for all
settlers in the Willamette valley
to meet at the home of- Joseph
Gervais on March J,6th7 to devise
protection for flocka'-and herds
from the ravages Of wolves.
The Canadians had heretofore
suggested March 4th, but this date
was. somehow, overlooked, so all
heartily,; attended th wolf meet
ing on March 6 th.
As soon as the meeting agreed
on the bounty; .to be given on
"wolf scalps. Gray, by an under
standing with the chairman, in
troduced the subject of better pro
tection for the settlers as well as
for their live, stock. Gray, it is
said, made a very able plea for a
committee of 12 to devise a com
plete plan of government.
Historic Cliampopg- Meeting
Gray's motion prevailed, and
the committee was appointed.
This is the committee that report
ed at the meeting at Champoeg
on the second day of May, 1843.
The report, was for organization
for a complete government. After
much, discussion the report was
adopted "by a great, majority."
Many, think this was the initial
step for Oregon self-government.
Lee was not present, as no doubt
he and Gray thought the French
would offer less opposition if Lee
were seemingly unconcerned
about organization.
Some will contend that Mr. Lee
had lost interest in the matter of
organization, because he was not
at Champoeg to attend that meet
ing on May 2nd, 1843. But they
are mistaken, as Mr. Lee had

turned the agitation over to Mr.
Gray as heretofore stated, on. ac
count of the press of other busi
ness and in deference to the
French Canadians.
I am unable to look upon Mr.
Gray as the whole originator of
the meeting of 1843. True, he
was the manager of all those
meetings, and managed them well,
showing much generalship. But
he, only, took up the work as
handed him by Mr. Lee. and car
ried it to a successful conclusion,
after Mr. Lee had put in two
whole years pavfng the way for
the final outcome.. I would not
rob anyone of an onnce of his pro
portion of the credit due for sav
ing Oregon to the United States,
while I am trying to give Jason
Lee the full "credit for his indefa
tigable efforts, which I think
were paramount to anything done
by any other person or circum
stance. Hie Credit Is Lee's
Consider-wtth me" a few of. the
circumstances for which Mr. Lee
should have credit.
Jason Lee secured from Pres
ident Jackson and the secretaries
of the interior and of war, permis
sion for founding missions In Ore
gon. He then went east and lec
tured on Oregon in nearly all the
states east ot the Mississippi, In
cluding Iowa and Illinois, in 1838
and 1839, taking two Indian boys
with him, inducing the people of
Illinois to send two well equipped
and fair sized trains overltnd to
Oregon, without which Oregon
might not have been saved to the
United States.
He induced the government to
allow him fifty dollars for the
passage of each immigrant. By
this means he secured fifty per
sons, at one time, when greatly
needed to uphold our Flag. Count

al's ami bills for the consideration
of congress: Continually urged con
gress to make baste on the Ore
gon question. He enlisted auch
men as Benton; Linn,' Thornton
and others in congress to work in
the interest of Oregon. For two
years he kept up a continual agita
tion for government proving him
self to be a thorough statesman
.in every particular and one of the
most self sacrificing, statesman
like, heroic men who ever .under
took such a gigantic, job in ,the
interest of mankind.' , -
Jason Lee gave ten years to the
work of humanity while suffering
alJ kinds of hardships, even tb
the; sacrificing of his life.upon the
altar of self-abnegation. . ..
Lee'e Last Days
Some time in December Lee
started for the east by way of the
Sandwich Islands. When he ar
rived at the Islands, be learned
that it would be several months
before any ship would be leaving
for .the Atlantic' ports, but a
schooner was sailing within a few
days for Mazatlan on the Mexi
can coast, whence he could go ov
erland to New York. So he took
passage on the schooner to Mexi
co, thence overland, reaching New
York during the spring of 1844.
When his business, with the
Mission Board was concluded, Ja
son Lee addressed a few audiences
In the Interest of Oregon.
By this time his health was
rapidly failing, from the result of
ten years of strenuous' labors un
der adverse conditions and many
exposures incident to a new and
uncivilized country. ?
" He retired to his old home in
lower Canada, where he soon died
in the house where he was born
just 41 years before.
Start of Circuit Rider
Lee was succeeded by Rev.
George Gary, who closed the mis
sions and sold the mission prop
erties. to the Methodist church, in
184 6. A number of the mission
preachers returned to the east,
leaving but four Methodist preach
ers to can-y on the work of the
church.
The superintendent, Rer. Gary,
supplied The Falls (Oregon City.)
Rev. A. F. Waller went to- The
Dalles. Rev. David Leslie took
the upper valley (Salem.) Rev.
Augustavua Hines took the Tual
ity plains, residing at The Falls,
and Rev. J. L. Parrish -was con
tinued at Astorja, Here, we have
the start of the circuit rtdef. Tas
there were several preaching plac
es where it was desirable to have
preaching semi-occasionally. -K-
Great Work of Leo
Although .the' Indian work was
finally taken over by, the govern
ment, the churches welcomed . the
few Indians who 'were trying to
live the christian ; life, 'and did
much preaching on the Indian res
ervations. Jt Some -will still con
tend that the missions were a per
fect failure. , . -:
But remember that Protestant
ism was successfully planted. here.
Missions were the forerunners of
the churches. They blazed the
way through the forests, laid the
foundations of statehood, publish
ed the advantages of our climate,
the fertility of our soil, 'the nat
ural resources of the country ' In
general, and were-the chief fac
tors in saving the country tb the
United States. , - " r
I do not say that the Metho
dists and Jason Lee are entitled
tc all the credit for the grand
achievement; no, there were many
others who are entitled to high
honors as well. But I will say
that, Jason Lee's influence and his
direct work were of more potency

Dr. McLoughlin Absent
Dr. McLoughlin was expected to
be present but, no doubt, seeing
that the Americans were going to
attend in auch forced that his
home government v (Enjgland)
might severely censure him for
participation in a Fourth of July
demonstration, in ' what she con
sidered her own domain, he evi
dently felt itf to be the better part
of wisdom as"1-well as policy that
he should be conspicuous by his
absence.' ' v ? ' " !
This first . celebration of the
American'' Independence day on'
the North Pacific 'coast was held
July, 1841. .The' audience was
composed of the following: Cap
tain Wilkes U; S. A., Dr. J. Y.
Richmond, his assistants at the
mission, a few Hudsons Bay offi
cers, the ship's officers,- one hun
dred marines, and four hundred
Indians. This great display at
Nisqually, - antedating, by four
years, any attempt by the British
to start civilization north of the
Columbia, nullified, forever, all
efforts made by England to es
tablish occupancy prior or superior-to
that of the Americans.
Dr. Whitman's Work
. Without tlfe efforts of Jason
Lee It should be plain to any un
prejudiced mind that the burden
of establishing priority would have
all fallen upon Dr. Whitman east
of the Cascades. As to whether
or not Dr. Whitman's clalnt would
hare been accepted by the Eng
lish government is a question, aa
tbe doctor was murdered and his
missionejitlrely destroyed before
the establishment of tne' iiitrn

first telegraphy circuit, however,
were not suggestive: of the enor

the first four days after the open
ing of the lines for business, April
1, 1845, one cent was taken In. On

to-12 cents, and on the seventh

rose to 60 cents, reached a peak

The rate was one cent for four

used for only one message at a

Alexander Graham Bell, seeking
a method to send two or more
