i D WEEKLY TIDINGS 0L. XLV ASHLAND, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1922 NO. 24 Oregon History As Seen on Today we are celebrating the sixty-third anniversary of the admission of the state ol Oregon to the United States. It U altogether proper and fitting that we note aome of the events of the early Oregon days ap to the time that our wonderful state was made one of the United States. The first record that we have of a white man setting foot on Oregon oil Is In the year 1792, when Cap tain Gray, an American fur trader from Boston, entered the mouth of the Columbia river In his ship, nam ing the river after his ship, the "Col umbia." During the same year, Cap tain Vancouver of the-British navy explored 30 miles up the Columbia nd named many of the prominent places In Its course. Near the same date Oregon received Its name from a traveler by the name of Captain Carver, who spent a winter among the Sioux Indians. On his return, he spoke of a great western river and called It the Oregon. However, the atate retained the name and the river kept the name of the ship. At the time that the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory. the entire northwest country was pracucauy unauuwu, unu rnmuwii . 1 11 . 1 X IJ L. Jerrerson Immediately sent Lewis and Clark on an exploring expedition which brought them to the Pacific coast In December, 1805. In 1811, John Jacob Astor, a New York fur trader, landed and established a post at the mouth of the Columbia, nam ing It Astoria, thereby establishing the first settlement In the state of Oregon. In 1824, Dr. John McLaughlin ar rived on he coast to take charge of the Hudson Bay company's fur inter est and changed the post from As toria to Port Vancouver, and be con l lured in charge of thu post fv 22 years. Through his firm control over the Indians, his kindness and hosp' tallty to traders and missionaries, adventurers and colonists he rightly deserves the name of the "Father of Oregon." The first emigrants for Oregon crossed the plains In 1839, and theyjing all rights on Bear creek made continued until the year 1848, when the Hyatt Prairie storage sufficient the gold fever struck the entire coun-1 beyond doubt for 7000 acres, which try and drew a great number of cmi-1 g approximately the irrigable area . - . r .. T iofn . , land donation law was passed, and tad the effect of registering 8000 peorle In the state of Orepon. Captain Nathanlol J. Wyeth, of Boston, came overland about the year 1828, sending his supplies around by ship, but the ship was lost, and Captain Wyetb and 11 men arrived In Oregon. The captain re turned east In 1833, leaving some of his men to look after his Interests In Oregon, and these men were thejthe entire 11,000 acres Is $105 per! first to be tillers of the soil In our state. It was also this captain who first saw the wealth In salmon f lh-1 ing, but owing to the enormous wealth and power of the Hudson Bay company, be waa unable to compete with them, and was compelled tojmated cost, since many things have give up his project as a iaiiure, out from It came the first colonization of the state. The Methodists lay claim 10 ine,ce,iro on irrigation districts In this flrst mission In the state among tnegtate, the bonds have been sold so early settlers who were financed and helped by Dr. McLaughlin. Dr. Mar-! cue Whitman was sent to Oregon In 1835 to take charge or tne worst ana continued with the work until 1842. , . when, owing to the agitation about ( the boundry line between the British possessions and the United States, be started on horseback and made a 3000 mile ride to Washington, D. C. In the interests of the settlers of Oregon and of laying before congress the facts about the great northwest and It can be said that Dr. Whit man's ride saved a great share ot the northwest to our United States. Dr. Whitman returned to Oregon In 1843 at the head of about 1000 emi grants and again took charge of the missionary work, but from that time on, his influence over the Indians, which had been so complete before, began to wane. Finally measles broke out among the Indians, and It proved very fatal and gained the fur- ther enemlty of the Indians, as they .thought that he was poisoning them and resulted in the Whitman mas- aacre November 29, 1847, In which; the doctor, bis wife and seven others were killed. This resulted In thenar of the month would alwavs some, Oregon leaders sending a ringing me morial to the national congress, and when the word reached St. Louis of the Whitman massacre, the whole country was aroused as never before in the Interest of the Oregon coun try. On August IS, 1848, congress passed a measure making Oregon a territory. In 1851 Jessie Applegate i in the Making 63rd Anniversary and others took up the work of set tllng the Umpqua and Rogue River! valleys In southern Oregon, and the region was soon overrun with miners and settlers. Trouble with the In dians soon began and lusted with some Intermissions until 1856 when the Indians were removed to the res ervations and the settlors were at last secure In their homes. A convention for the adoption of a constitution met In Salem August 3, 1857, and on September 18 a con- stttutlon was adopted and on being submitted to the people, was ratified, the state government going Into op eration In July, 1858, although Ore gon was not formally admitted to the Union until February 14, 1859.
