I a. story ol iql is iuiu ui ncui j Woods who was one of tne project ors and builders of the Star of Ore aoii, the first sea-going vessel built on (he northwest coast. When the schooner was well under way of con struction, Woods went to Vancouver to see if the doctor would let them have such material for rigging, sails, etc., as was indispensable to finish her. The doctor had already been pursuing a system of repression to- tnirl tiioti lilrn Wrvnfla T4"lllllinr1 r..,, ArmcrrtnfT nnA nhrr Amnri. X..1W.. .......H. WMfc, .... W.r- - ---- cans, some of whom had como with who had been crushed out by the trade power of tbe Hudson Bay com pany. Usit though poor m purse anu reckless of lire, they would never sub mit. On this occasion tho doctor took rather a high and mighty tone to Woods, and afieclcd to believe that the vessel they were building would be tho means of drowning its owners, and the company would nev or get its pay. At last Woods changed his tone also, and said, "well, your company does seem all-powerful here inst now and it is true 1 am a very poor man, but I can tell you, doctor, poor as 1 am and look, 1 ve got an uncle that is rich enough to buy up many such companies as yours. "Tut. tut, mt," savs the doctor, "who is your undo that is so rich, and vhat is his name?" ' We call him Uncle Sam," replied Woods, "and he'll be along here some of these days and will probably change the condition of things some." Sure enough. Commodore Wilkes' expedition shortly afterwards sailed in over the bar of tho Columbia, aud Dr. AloLaushun probably remem bered the effort that had on a previ ous occasion been made to repress the action of some of these very samo men, when they determined to go to California and get cattle of their own and be no longer dependent on the Hudson Bay company for the loan of cows t milk. At that timo Mr. S lo cum had sailed in over the bar, left his vessel in the river and came up into the Willamette valley, took part in the first meeting held, at which the bird of independence screamed a little; advanced money to Rev. Jason Lee for purposes or cattle purchase, aud offered a passage down tho coast to the parly going on this first Amer ican cattle driving enterprise. The wise doctor had not forgotten that these men had nut only thus brought cattle to supply the free settlers and missionaries of western Oregon with a start of cattle, but these men find- insr a countryman of their own the owner of 900 head of sheep m Sacra mento valley, persuaded him lo start half of them to Oregon in their com- rauy. Air. Lease, the owner of the sheep found no difficulty in disposing of them when ho got here, members of the Hudson Bay company becom iug the largest purchasers. This was onlv four years previous to the time of Wood's talk. When tho doctor got opportunity he stated to Commo dore Wilkes the application that had been made to him for supplies for the little vessel aud asked him to examine it, and say if men might safely risl their lives by c.onglosra in such a craft The commodore did so, and pronounced the vessel safe to double Cape Horn, and offered to becorao re SDausible for her outfit He only thus warranted the en terprise of tho builders, but according to Col. Nesmith's address of 18S0, ho furnished them with .in anchor, haw ser, nautical instruments, and an American flag and a clearance. The Star af Oregon sailed, made her port, Yerba Buena (San Prancisco) in five days, and was sold for 350 head of cows. Her owner then became the nucleus arouud which a second driv ing enterprise gathered, consisting of 42 men who brought to the Willam ette valley an aggregate of 1,250 head of cattlej GOO head of mares, colt3, horses and mules; and 3,000 head of sheep. They were seventy-five days on the way, says Col. Nesmith, aud, on their arrival with their herds, the monopoly in stock cattle came to an end in Oregon. But that I fancy was not the worst result, if Dr. McLaugh lin refused to furnish the outfit for the schooner in tho first place, as a means of repressing American enter prise, the furnishing of the instru ments, flag and clearance, were new points on Woods's side of the ques tion, and altogether tended to show Dr. McLaughlin that to interfere too much with Simmons's enterprise might aud probably would only stim ulate it It was certainly waste of time to mention fear of death lo Woods as a reason for refusing him what ho wanted. He it was who, when driv ing a logging team in the woods on the west side of tho now city of Salem, saw a panther catch and kill a deer, and seizing up a club, drove the pan ther oil, shouldered the venison and drove on his team to the sawmill with the buck on his back. Such men don't scare well by possible conse quences to themselves or any one else. It is likely then that by 18M Dr. John McLoughlin had begun to perceive amongst the incoming immi grants a spirit of self-reliance that opposition only stimulated, and which very likely drew his hearty admira tion. It certainly soon was manifest to Archibald Makinley and Dr. "W. p. Tolmie, the latter of whom, as .early as 1841 had, while on a visit to Scot land, on being questioned by Robert Chambers, ol,Chambers Edinburgh Journal, as to what was necessary to enable Britain to maintain her hold on Oregon, indicated liberal dona- tions of land, to free, self-directing, self-reliant settlers and that journal was speaking to tEe north British people for such elements of power, at the very time (September, l&ti) the second largo wave of "home builders" were moving down the Pacific slope. Coos bay coal was selling at the wharf at San Prancisco, last week. loaded in cuts, at S5.10 per ton. A few years ago, during the little boom in coal, the Newport company was paying schooners $5.25 per ton for carrying its coal from tho mine to San Francisco. The company's coal is now carried by its own steamers, which appears to be about the only way in which the .mine can be worked at any profit at all. Coos Mail. Loxdon, Aug. 10.
