Lindbergh's return to the United States. It's the suite which President Wilson occupied when he went to the peace conference. next year or so Mr. Gray returned east, married and then with his bride made an overland trip again taking "employment under Dr. Whitman, acting as foreman in the construction of numerous mis sion buildings. In 1840, about the time Jason Lee returned from the east, on the Lausanne, with his recruits, Mr. Gray left the Whit man mission, came to the Willam ette valley and took employment under Jason Lee in building the Oregon Institute and other build ings for the mission at Chemek eta, as Mr. Lee moved the mission from Chemava soon after his re turn from the east with his reen- forcement. Gustavue Hines Gustavus Hines was a minister. sent out by the Foreign Mission Board .of the. M. E. church and was a passenger on the Lausanne. It seems that Mr. Hines was a spe cial friend of Jason Lee. as after the' unexpected death of the sec ond Mrs. Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Hines were taken into the home, of Mr. Lee and given charge of nnd t ared for the infant left motherless by the death of Mrs. Lee. Mr. Lee lived -Jn the house with the Hine8es for nearly four years un til Mr, Lee went east to never re tuHy leaving his infant daughter in tae -eare of Mr; and Mrs. Hines ta be 'raised and educated under their-supervision. Attempts at Organizing Up-to-1843 .Mr.. Lee had been the leading spirit in every move ment for organization of a pro visional government for the set tler's "In the Oregon country. There had been attempts at or ganization before 1843, but ail had' failed to complete a satisfac tory and workable government. A partial government -had been accomplished but not completed. Mr. Lee had directed each of these attempts, but the Methodist min isters and the Catholic priests did not' work together with that, con geniality nTssary to the success of any, undertaking. Their pres ence was a hindrance rather than a help. If would appear that r Stuffed Eggs Hard cook the eggs, and drop them -in cold, water, remove shells, and cut .in halves lengthwise. Take out the yolks and chop fine, adding any cold ham or bacon . that may be at 'hand Salmon or sardines may also be used. Season nicely and moisten with a little mayonnaise; Fill the cavities in the eggs, and put the halves together, wrap in paraffin paper twisting the ends slightly to hold firmly. r Pickled Prone) Wash and soak one ; pound ' of prunes in a quart of cold water, then place over the fire in the same water. 1 adding the juice of a lemon and the thinly pared rind; also six cloves and a small -piece of stick cinnamon.

Remove the spices vhen the prunes are done. : H, r Brown Sagar Cookies .Cream a- cupful of butter with two cupfuls of brown sugar, add "aea, spoonful of vanilla, two' well beaten , eggs,' one-third cup of milk in which three-fourtlis teaspoonful bf soda, is j dissolved, and add gradually three cupfuls of flour.

Con-, ditions and circumstances would indicate that Mr. Lee put his em ployee, Mr. Gray, forward to posh the question of organization; but listen to Mr. Gray and you will obnerve that he ignores Mr. Lee altogether. That might have been necessary at the time, but when Gray wrote his book 23 years thereafter, that necessity had long vanished. (See Gray's Oregon. Page 261.) "The Wolf meeting was fully attended and all took a lively interest in it There was a little suspicion in this first meeting that more than pro tection for our animals was meant. Dr. I. L. BabcOck, who was elected our chairman, and who, we sup posed, would be the first to' sus pect the main object, seemed to discard the idea as foolish and ridiculous, as he thought we had all the protections for our persons that we' needed In the arrange ment already entered into and the object for which the meeting was called was a good and laudable one. We are all interested In It: we had-all suffered more or less from the ravages of wild animals and It became necessary to have a united effort to get rid of hem and protect" our property. Tb,rS was the very point we wished to hold the Doctor to. He had' ex pressed the idea exactly, and plac ed it In a clear light. As settlers we had nothing to do but submit to the rule of the Hudson's By company, the mission and , Dr, White and do all we could to pro tect the cattle and herds .It was moved that a committee of six be appointed to notify a general meeting, and prepare a plan and report the matter for action .'of the settlers. Gray was appointed chairman of this ..committee. Gray speaks in a laudatory man ner of the intelligence of his com mittee, v The meeting to hear the report was railed 'for" the first Monday in March at the house, of Tames Gervais. V It devolved -on Gray. Beers a.nd Wilson to adver tise the meeting. LeBreton wrote the notices. Diplomatic Work "LeBreton and Smith were busy in finding out the men who could be relied upon, and the men who would oppose, the ONE GREAT OBJECT we had determined to accomplish, so that on the first Monday in March, 1843, the set-' tiers, except the clergy, were ' all present. If my memory (23 years after) serves me right, there was not a'single reverend gentleman of any denomination in that meet ing." . James O'Neill presided. Everything, regarding the com mittee meeting was done on. .the sly. No Intimation had been made that any but the wolf mat ter of bounties, etc., would be transacted. So Gray put one over on the missions and the Hudson's Bay company. Gray says: "They were all asleep!" By keeping the clergy in the dark as to when and where the meeting should take place." Mr. Gray had become the hero of the occasion. ' After the; matter which l was -f meeting at Joseph!, Gervate house) to come before the meet ing had been attended to as has been pfeviously explained, ther fol lowing resolution was sprung upon the assemblage:. "Resolved that a committee be appointed to take into consideration the propriety of taking measures for the civil and . military protection of this colony." " Resolved that' said . com mittee consist of 12 men.. Carried, and the following were appointed as such committee! . Babeoek. White, O'Neil, SUortess.. Newell. LncIeK Gervais. Hubbard, MeRay, Gray, Smith and Gay. . ' , ." More Far Seeing Diplomacy j The committee met at the falls about the middle of March, 1843. Mr. Gray.says: - (page 26S) fThe citizens of Oregon City were ; in vited to participate in the delib erations of the" committee. Rev. Jason Lee; Rey. Mr. Waller,- Mr. Abernethy, Itl fftct, nearly all the prominent men of the place (Ore gon City) ..were present and par ticipated in the discussions." Mr. Gray also says that Mr, Lee rid iculed the idea of trying to organ ize a government actually1 op posed any organization of any kind, as likewise did Mr. Hines and Mr. Abernethy. Hines made a fiery speech against the propo sition. Abernethy dealt in ridi cule and invective. Jason Lee told a story which Illustrated his op position. Mr. Abernethy says that "Mr. McLoughlin, through j his attorney Mr. Hastings, favor ed the organization as also did 1 the officers of Captain Wilkes' I squadron who were in the city at the time." All must agree that this was a peculiar situation. Mr. McLoughlin heretofore had oppos ed all attempts at organization. The Methodists had favored organiza tion of some kind for more than two years. Now for the quer.y. Several histories which I have consulted claim that Captain Wilkes, who was enjoying- the hospitalities of Doctor McLongh lfn, joined with the Doctor in op posing any organization for the present on the grounds that all should wait until the northern line could be established by treaty. The Wilketi Kxploring Mquadron Now we will listen to Mr. Hines for a moment, page 420 1- "What contributed more, however, to de feat this first" effort to establish a regular government' in Oregon, than anything else, was the arriv al, during the summer of 1841 in which the organization was pend ing, of the United States explor ing squadron, under the command of Captain Wilkes. The arrival on the coast of Oregon of so ex tensive an armament, consisting of four or five vessels of war for the express purpose of exploring, not only the coast and the rivers, but also, the country itself, pro duced a very great excitement In the community, and but little was heard of but the exploring squad ron daring its somewhat protract ed stay in the Columbia river. . In addition to this the officers of the squadron were consulted on the subject of organizing the country into a civil compact, and were found to be decidedly op posed to the scheme and recom mended that the subject be allow ed to rest. They encouraged the people In the belief that the Unit ed States government would prob ably soon extend jurisdiction over the country. This put a quietus on the subject for a time, and as the number of settlers in the country was yet small and the difficulties to be settled of such a nature as easily to be adjusted by arbitration, nothing took place to call up the subject of organiza tion until several months after the departure or the squadron from the Columbia river." The reader will discover that the matter of organization took quite a rest until late, in the fall of 1842 or early In 1843, when on account of the unrest and war like attitude of the Indians It was thought best to organlie. .This gave rise to the Wolf meeting and the meeting at the house of Jo seph Gervais where the committee of 12 was appointed to .consider the propriety of taking measures for civil ai.i military protection. The reader will remember that this is the committee Mr. Gray says met at the falls the middle of March to which the citizens were invited, to join in the discussion of the questions for consideration, and to set the date for. the Cham poegneeting which was fixed and advertised for May 2nd. 1843. This is the committee meeting in which Mr. Gray says, the Metho dists all opposed organization and Dr. McLoughlin favored it. Republic or Monarcy We will now give Mr. Hines' ac count of a meeting at Oregon City about or at the same time: "A meeting of about 50 settlers, chiefly Americans, took place at the Falls in the month of March, 1843. and the subject or organiz ing the community into a body politic became the order of the evening. After a spirited and in- teresting discussion the meeting resulted In the appointment of a committee td notiiy a 'public meet ing to be held at Champoeg the 2nd day of May. 1843." -r Whether Mr. Gray's committee meeting and Mr. Hines' "Settlers' " meeting are one and the same or two sep arate meetings will probably never be known, or which It was. Gray's committee or Hlnes' committee, that reported to the Champoeg meeting. It appears to the writer that much of the misunderstanding and apparent changing of attitude during several years was owing to the kind of government propos ed or wanted, as to whether it should be a provisional govern ment looking to the United States or England for adoption or for an Independent government looking toward a republic or a monarchy. When the proposition was for a provisional government the Meth odists were always with the Amer icans in favor, but when the prop osition was for an Independent government, then the Canadians were favorable but the Americans were opposed. : It Jg quite possi ble that Dr. McLoughlin, as Gray says, .wag favorable to organiza tion at that time thinking that an Independent government would be proposed ; but as the proposition was for an organization that could be easily woven ; into American warp, then he saw matters In a different light. If the reader will keep this explanation in mind, it will be comparatively easy to vm ravel the tangle caused by the? lack of harmony between Mr. Gray and Mr. Hines.7 " - Historic Champoeg Meeting Nowi again. In reference to that meeting at the .Vails which MrJ Gray: so well remembers, I will Quote Mr 'U Hines page 423): "The Canadian French, who had settled in the country. and .who t up to this time, beginning . with FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION OF ROADS, RATES, CCOMMODATIONS INQUIRE AT THE STATESMAN Office TAFT THE PINES HOTEL Operating its first season excellent accommodations, hot and cold water, etc. Rates $1.75 Up For reservations write or Phone Fred Watson, Taft, Ore.

PENNEY, Proprietor 1843, were more, numerous than the Americans -and so agreed with the Americans as to the necessity of organizing, but at this time, as tt was supposed through the influ ence of Df. McLoughlin who was himself opposed to such a meas ure, they broke off almost to & man an the pretense, as they were the subjects of Queen Victoria, they did not wish to forswear their country; they could not con sistently enter into any measure that might prove prejudicial to their majesty's government. This served to harmonize the views of the; Americans so far as to bring them unanimously to the determi nation to immediately organize; bat they still differed as to the nature of the government - that should be festabllshed. . : Some were favorable to an independent form. similar to a territorial govern ment, while others were favorable to a few simple rules and regula tions. which operate quite satisfac torily for the time, until the Unit ed, States government should i do something : more effectually iin their behalf."
