MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1916 EARLY OREGON. Geo. H. Himes, in Albany last week, tells the following in reference to the early history of Oregon, of great in terest to those who like to know about their own state: "The best information we have tells us that word 'Oregon,' with reference to this particular section of the United States, was first used by Jonathan Carver, a Minnesotan, in 1760. He was born in 1725 an dbecame a captain in the French and Indian war.. In his travels he covered a wide stretch of country and and in 1768 he wrote of having been in the vicinity of the sources of the four greatest rivers of the continent. They were the St Law rence, the Red River of the North, the Mississippi and the Oregon, the River of the West" , Mr. Himes in a lecture at Corvallis ahowed about 70 slides, .says the Gazette-Times: .-... Beginning with the discovery and leading step by step to about the time of 1850. Slides representing and giving historical facts of the discovery of the . Columbia river, by Gray, in 1792, the exploration of the country by Lewis and Clark, in 1805, and the occupation of the territory by the Astor party in 1811, were shown and the speaker stated these three epochs discovery,' exploration and occupation were closely followed by the growth era in 1. 1. 1 n t lk. .(.(. t. . .Mltim2 Lilt.

In 1813, the state raised 50 bushels of potatoes, all of which came through the planting of the 12 pota toes in 1812. ". Theiadvent of Dr. McLaughlin to Fort Vancouver was in 1825 and in 1827 the first sawmill on the Colum bia river was built Mr. Himes showed a. picture of the mill pond as.it is to day. The first school teacher was John Ball, who came here in 1832 and the first minister was Jason Lee, who came here in 1834. Through the arrival of 'Dr. Mc Laughlin another achievement had its beginning. In the year 1826 one bush el of wheat, one bushel of oats, one bushel of barley, and one quart of timothy seed were planted, and this was the first grain growing in the Pacific northwest Following this there was the be ginning of the pioneer homes, cabins, schools, methods of agriculture, reap ing, threshing, cooking out of doors and without stoves, household indus tries such as spinning and weaving. He showed slides representing the ear liest types of these things. In 1834, the first independent Ore gon settler came to Oregon. Ev.:ng Young came to this state of his own volition and located in the Chehalem valley, about six miles west of the present location of Ncwberg. He was the first American in Oregon who had any personal property. The others were explorers, missionaries or some other class of individuals who had been sent here. . ; r In 1841 Mr. Young died, leaving considerable property, but with no known heirs. It was thought he had some, hut they were never found. Be cause of the necessity of having some means of disposing of his property, the first porbate court of Oregon was organized, that being in April of the year of his death. It was two years later that the report of the committee was adopted at Champoeg outlining the mode of civil government of Ore gon.

A lady found out that her husband had made a bet of $100 on Hughes. Believing that his judgment was bad, and fearing he would lose his money, she sought to remedy the matter and forthwith dug up $100 and placed it on Wilson to win, thus avoiding a loss to the fam ily. Tip Humphrey's Version. -Jefferson Review: Returns show that the Sunday law has been repeal ed and Oregonians can now atetnd auto races and prize fights instead of church on Sunday. Likewise all busi ness houses may keep open. An ef fort will be made to have the legisla ture pass a law compelling Sunday observance, but as the people have de clared themselves against such a mea sure it is not likely that body will take any action. Bill Brenner's Betting. Scio Tribune: Bill Young brought an owl, which had been foraging on his chickens, to town Wednesday. Bill Brenner was after it in a minute. He said he needed a dish of crow or owl just to ease his mind after betting on Hughes.- Two Metropolises.

HAWKINS General Agents - - - Albany How Old An old proverb says: "It is never too late to learn." If you have let the years of youth pass without accomplishing anything, don't get discouraged. No man is a failure until he becomes aquitter. Men have done great things in their older years. Franklin at 50 studied natural philosophy; Dryden and Scott were not known as authors until each was in his fiftieth year; Handel was 48 before he pub lished any of h's great works.

Wonder what war he meant, the "Turner War.?' -- Also he throws a stone at Stayton by insinuating that this town did not possess such a thing as a plate glass window. Of course we realise the fact that Stayton is not Turner, with its many milionaircs and metropoli tan newspaper, but we did raise Wer a thousand dollars almost over night for a new high school gymnasium.. An Editor's Sentimentality. ' Jefferson Review: John Green and daughter Rose, were at Albany Fri day. Miss Rose is in poor health, the result, no doubt, of long and faithful service at the telephone board. All hope she may soon recover, for we 8i't spare her. She's "ours." No oth er voice sounds natural at the hoard. If we could only induce her to tell us a few of the things she knows we could get out a very interesting paper, but we'd have to leave town quick.
