BIRTH OF CIVIL GOVERNMENT IN OREGON
The first remote step taken toward
organizing a civil government In Ore
iron was for the purpose of making
ome law by which sn estate left
without hlr could be esehented to
the state.
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.

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." Guaranteed cure for coughs
