The story Is worthy of repetition in Oregon homes and Oregon school houses, for too little Is known of the origin of organized government In the state. Ewlng Toung. a sturdy Californlan who came to Oregon In the early 'SOs whs blacklisted, through mistake as a horsesthlef, by the California authorities, and when Toung reached Vancouver, he was treated as a crim inal and outlaw by Dr. John Mc laughlin, and from that day forth his life was embittered by the false reports. It was easy to scatter such reports about a man, but a vastly more diffi cult matter to correct such reports n,UH ihuu l.tk.1 nni.n honrtmp frpneral ' ...... , .., .treasurer Knowledge on ine sparseiy wiuni frontiers. So Young was unjustly shadowed to the grave by this unjust and mis taken report. Being ortraclsed. he grew to hate the missionaries of the Willamette valley, nmong whom he settled and so being ostracised he cured but little for the teachings of the missionaries or the precepts which they sought to lnculcato In the new settlement. Young started the first dlsllllery in the Willamette valley. This was a cause of consternation among the settlers because of the awful peril of drunken savages among the scattering homes of French Prairie and Salem. Hut the entreaties of the settlers were of no avail and Young operated his distillery and amassed a small fortune before he sickened and died In the winter of J 840-1. At that time there was no recognis ed authority anywhere In the north west excepting the Hudson Bay com pany and Its rules administered by Dr. John McLaughlin at Vancouver. The settlers In the Willamette were semi-Independent, yet their only source of law and order was In th,,lr own moral code of honor and decen cy, supported by the Iron hand of the fiir company. Every settler In the valley was a free lance If he chose to he, or he could become a member of the Methodist mission nt Salem and live under the semi-communal sys tem organized there, or he could pay homage to Dr. MeLoughlln at Van couver. Keeping order and making friends with the Indians were among the common duties of every settler, but when Young died and left a large estate without any known heirs, here was a new question for government to administer, and there were no laws providing for such an exigency, lint StM Toward Organisation, 80 the very first step ever taken toward forming an organized govern ment In the present state of Oregwn was taken at the funeral of Ewlng Young, In January. 1841. when the few friends who gathered to bury the outcast settler passed a resolution ap pointing a legislative committee of seven and fixing a date for the meet ing of the committee on February 17 and 18. 1841. The duties of this committee were to formulate laws covering the dis posal of estates such as hod been left by Young, to pass laws for the gov ernment of the country south of the Columbia, to admit to the protection of those laws all such citizens north of the Columbia as were not under contract with the fur company and to nominate candidates for the several offices, of governor, supreme Judge with probate powers to dispose of es tates, three justices of the peace, three road commissioners, three con stables, an attorney general, a clerk of the court and public recorder, a and two keepers of the poor. Toe handful of pioneers who gath ered to bury Ewlng Young that day In January, 1841. laid the foundation for civil government In Oregon by ap pointing the following committee to draft a code of laws for the govern ment of the new state then In the throes of birth: F. N. Blanchet, chairman- Jason Lee, David Donplerre, Oustavus Hines, Charlevon, Robert Moore, J. L. Parrlsh. Etlenne Lucler (the first man ever to plow a furrow In Willamette valley) and William Johnson. Shrewd politics was used even In that early day, for bythe appoint ment of Blanchet as chairman the set tlers hoped to pacify and win over the Canadians who were known to be favorable to the fur company. First State) Officers. The committee met at the appoint ed time and elected I. L. Babcock the first supreme Judge of Oregon and there being no code at hand s resolution was unanimously passed directing Justice Babcock to adminis ter the law In Oregon according to a code of the state of New York In possession of the settlers. Thus Oregon was first governed by the laws of New York until a form of civil law was adopted by the settlers some time later. Owing to the bitterness of several rival factions among even the small number of settlers then In Wlllam ette valley, the election of a governor was deferred to another time. George W. Le Breton was elected first clerk of courts, William Johnson first high shlrlff and Zavler Ladaroote, Pierre Billlque and William McCarty con stables. Thus was launched the first sembl ance of civilized government within the present boundaries of the state of Oregon. But this step was looked upon with suspicion by the Canadians, who owed allegiance to the fur company and he form of gevernment adopted was wavering and weak and was almost totally abandoned as the opposition of the French settlers became more and more pronounced. Blanchet resign ed as chairman and as he was spirit ual adviser of the Canadians his influ ence checked the growth of popular government for the time. "Wolf" Meetings. Finally In 1843 the wolves and cougars became so troublesome In the settlements that all the citizens fear ing for their lives and the lives of their stock, unanimously organlzea wolf" meetings for mutual protec tion, and out of these wolf meetings at which bounties were offered for all kinds of wild animals Infesting the settlements, finally grew up again a still stronger sentiment In favor of Independent government, and as the sentiment spread and cemented the settlers together, the Idea was pro moted vigorously by the Americans until, on May 2, 1843, the mass meet ing was held at Champoeg and Ore gon territory was formally brought Into existence by a vote of 52 to 50 bare majority for the virgin state that has become the mother of two other grent states In the Pacific northwest. OltKCOVS I'lXFST 1IOT1X. One Million lollnr Building for Coos nay. The first steps were taken this week fur the promotion of a million dollar tourist hotel to be known as the Coos Hay, says the Coos Bay Harbor. For some time certain parties who have the good of the bay at heart have been considering a movement of this kind. Their hopes have so far materialized that they have a site ef 40 acres of ground on the peninsula for the hotel and a further subsidy of 150 acres. The site Is an Ideal one, but of course Is subject to change. If a bet ter one or a larger subsidy can be ob tained the offer will be open for consideration. The plans have not progressed far enough that the parties wish to dis close their Identity. The Harbor Is permitted to make this note of the enterprise to see how It strikes the public pulse. A thorough exposition of the enter prise has been laid before the South em Pacific officials and If they should become Interested the hotel will be assured. It Is the Idea to have n hotel the equal of any on the Pacllfc cbast, one that will rank with Del Monte and Del Coronado and be In Itself an attrac tlon for tourists. It is estimated that tourists spend $25,000,000 annually. When the rail road Is built and we have a first-class hotel "there Is no reason why a large tourist travel can not be turned this way. A company has been organized with a capital of 175,000 to build a hospl tal at Coeur d'Alene. FEW BUFFALO HERDS NOW REMAINING J. Alden Lorlng of Oswego, N. Y., has visited all the buffalo herds In the United States lately, at the request of the biological survey of the Smith sonian Institute, to ascertain as nearly as possible the number of pure blood buffaloes now living, and further, to learn the advisability of placing buf faloes In the national game preserve in the Wichita mountains In south western Oklahoma, where climatic conditions are believed to be espec ially favorable to their propagation. While in Oklahoma. Mr. Lorlng went to ranch "101," at Bliss, to look at the herd of 24 full-bloods, seven males and 17 cows, owned by the ranch company. Mr. Lorina was quoted as saying that unless something should be done quickly and intelli gently there was danger of the early extinction of the buffalo. He found that of the 800 head reported In the lnited States not more than one-half were of pure blood, and by accident and improper care these small herds were dwindling away. He was pleas ed with the location of the Wichita preserve, but in doubt as to the wis dom of placing buffaloes In the pre serve until it was known positively that its pastures had been disinfected of the Texas fever tick. Two Herds In Oklahoma. There are two herds of buffaloes In Oklahoma, one on ranch "101" and the other near FaTiee, Ok., on the ranch of Major Gordon Lillie (Paw nee Bill). J. C. Miller, president of ranch "101," is negotiating for 52 full bloods from a ranchman In the Flat head Indian reservation In Montana, from whom he obtained his present herd. Miller's buffaloes are thriving In their southwestern home, once the fa vorite range of the buffalo. He is confident that every one of his seven cows will drop a calf this spring. He contradicts the statement made sever al months ago in a magazine article by Major Lillie that a buffalo cow gives birth to a calf only one In two years, and offers In support of his contradiction the experience of Thomas W. Burgess, of Luena, la. Four years ago Mr. Burgess bought a bull and five cows, all fullbloods. These five cows have given birth to a total of 20 calves In the four years, or one calf each a year, and every calf has lived. Miller expects to have 65 half- breeds, or cataloes, from as many Polled Angus cows next spring. These cows were bred to a bull purchased by Miller from the Goodnight ranch In the Texas Panhandle. He found that his cows would not mate with a range buffalo and learned that for mixed blood breeding purposes the buffalo bull should be suckled from Its earliest Infancy by a domestlo cow and thereafter kept with native cattle. He found such a bull In the Goodnight herd. When Miller brought his herd from the Flathead country his buffaloes were as wild as Texas cattle, having run free on a wide range all their lives. He controlled them on his ranch with difficulty, until they be came familiar with their surroundings. By his constant efforts to make them more gentle he is now able to call them from the pasture and have them eat corn as he tosses It to them In the ear. The sound of the running pump will cause them to come In for water. "A strange thing about my buffa loes," said Miller, Ms that they do not seem to like salt. I have placed salt In convenient places, supposing that naturally they had need of It, but not once have I found any Indication that a buffalo had tasted salt. They like the saline water that flows in the Salt fork of the Arkansas river, this tributary passing through my ranch. In summer they delight in wallowing in the liver." -V Modern Miracle. "Truly miraculous seemed the re covery of Mrs. Molile Holt of this place,"" writes J. O. B. Hooper. Wood ford. Tenn., "she was so wasted by coughing up puss from her lungs. Doctors declared her end so near that her family had watched by her bed side 4 8 hours: when, at my urgent re quest Dr. King's New Discovery was given her, with the astonishing re sult that Improvement began, and con tinued until she finally completely re covered, and Is a healthy woman to day."
