"The story of the Oregon coun try." said Senator Eddy, "Is linked with the names of men whose achievements stand out upon the pages of history. Beginning with that eminent navigator. Captain Gray, who sailed Into the Colum bia river in 1792. we have later the Lewis and Clark expedition sent, out by President Jefferson. There was another expedition sent out by John Jacob Astor, for whom Astoria was named. "Linked with our early history also Is the fame of Dr. John Mc Loughlin, representative of the Hudson's Bay company, but the kind and effective friend of the American settler. Abraham Lin coln was offered by President Tay lor, the territorial governorship, but declined It. t "Our political fortune.'were for t certain period linked with the Cause of slavery. For a time many eltnzens were opposed to state hood, but when they learned that there was danger that, the pro slavery administration at Wash ington would probably endeavor to plant slavery In all American territories, they desired statehood and liberty.
