In New York, in June, 1810, drew up articles of agreement between hlmelf and Mr. Alexander M'Kay, Kho had accompanied Mackenzie in Ms exidliins to the northwest coast of America In 1TS9 and 17V3, Duncan M'DouKall, Donald M'Kenzle and Mr. Wll.,n Trice Hunt, of New Jersey, for the purpose of fitting out expeditions by land and sea to the mouth of the Columbia and establishing a fur trad ing station there, as well as a line of stations across the continent. The firm name under which these gentlemen were associated waa "The Pacific Fur Co." Mr. Astor waa to be the head of the company and manage Us affairs la New York. He was to furnish vessels, goods, provisions, arms, ammunition. and all other requisites for the enter prise at first coit and charges, provided they did not, at any time. Involve an advance of more than four hundred thousand dollars. The stock of the com pany was to be divided Into a hundred equal shares, with the profits accruing thereon. Fifty share were to e at the disposition of Mr. Astor. and the other fifty to be divided among the partners and their associates. Mr. Astor was to have the privilege of introducing other persons Into the connection, as part ners, two of whom, at least, should be conversant with the Indian trade, and none of them to be entitled to more thaa three shares. Annual meetings of the company were to be held at the Columbia river, and the association, if BuccwwfuL was to continue for twenty years, with privilege to the members of abandoning and dissolving It with In the first five years, should it be found unimfltable. For this term Mr. Astor covenanted te 'bear all the loss that might be Incurred; after which all the partners were to bear their due protn-tlon. Mr. Hunt was chosen as resident aprnt on the northwest coast for the first term ot Jive years. Such are the leading conditions of Astoria's great expechtlons which resulted in the four ding of Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia. Mr. Astor was first Imbued with the idea of his undertaking by the reports made of the government expedition un der Lewis and Clarke, who in 1S04 suc-i-eeded In ascending the Missouri, pass ed throiifth the stupendous gates of the KiK'kiea. nitherto unknown to the white man; discovered and explored the up kt waters of the Columbia, and fol lowed that river down to Its mouth. whore their countryman, Cray, had an chored about twelve years previously. Astor's scheme was to establish a chain of trading posts along the Missouri and the Columbia, to the mouth of the lat ter, where wa to be founded the chief trading house or depot. Vp to the time of 1TM little or nothing was known of the Columbia river, but In that year Captain Cray, of Boston, entered the river In the vessel Colombia. Soon a number of vessels were engaged In trading along the coast and disposing of the furs In China, where Capt. Cook the great navigator, discovered they were very valuable. The Hudson Bay Company also waa not long In estab lishing Itself on the Columbia. The expeditions were planned by As tor in the furtherance of his great scheme, one by sea. the other by land. The former was to carry out the peo ple, stores, ammunition, and merchan dise, requisite for the purpose ot ex plorlng the line of communication across the continent, and noting the places where Interior trading posts might be established. Under the leadership of Mr. M'Dougal who was empowered by Astor to act for him In the absence ot Hunt, the other partners, with clerks, artisans and a full supply of stores, set out on the ship Tonquln, Capt. Thorn, on Septem ber Sth, 1810. After a hard voyage they arrived in the Columbia March 22, 1811, On the 12th of April Messrs. M'Dougall and Stuart decided to pitch the new trading post on Point George and nam ed it Astoria. They were assisted in their explorations by old Kink Concom ly, chief of the Chlnooks. The expedition by land, under Mr. As tor's principal agent and deputy, Mr. Wlllson Price Hunt, was fitted out in Montreal and commenced Its perilous journey by canoe from that place In July, IS 10. The route was un the St Lawrence, the great lakes atid down the Mlsslslppl to St. Louis, thence up the Missouri. After securing additional supplies and men the party left St. Louis October 21st. After a Journey filled with tremendous hardships and many dangers the party of Intrepid pioneers rounded Tongue Point on the 15th of February, 1M2. coming down the Columbia In their canoes, and sighted the other members of their company al- reaily established In Astoria.
