XVII— OHIO
HE North­
west Tor-
r 11 o r y, o t
which Ohio Is
a part, was a
bone of con-
t e n 1 1 o n be­
tween Spain,
France anti England. Spain’s
claim was based on the voyage
of De Soto up the Mississippi
river. France, through the ex­
plorations of La Suite from the
north and tlia eurly entry of
French priests from Canada,
considered this territory theirs.
As for England, she rested her
claims on the discovery of North
America by the Cabots, and In
the charter granted to Virginia
Included all the country lying
to the W est
The French were the first to
get a foothold In Ohio, hut the
English pioneers, who shortly
began to drift westward, firm­
ly established their settlements
In the fertile Ohio valley. Af­
ter a long period of warfare,
In which the Indians played a
leading part, the Northwest Ter­
ritory was finally ceded to the
United States by the Treaty of
Independence In 1783. And Vir­
ginia and other states, which
had laid claim to portions of
this region turned over their
Tights to the federal govern­
ment
The government of the North­
west Territory was formally
created by the ordinance of
1787. People from the East mi­
grated Into this territory In
such numbers that by 1803 Ohio
was token iDto the Union ns the
seventeenth stnte. The fourth
largest state In size of popula­
tion, Ohio has 24 electoral votes
for President, while In area,
with its 41,040 square miles. It
ranks only thirty-fifth, which
shows how densely it Is popu­
lated. It Is noted ns the state
of Presidents. President Hard­
ing makes the seventh Ohioan
to fill the presidential office.
The name Ohio is derived from
the Iroqnols word O-ftee-yo,
meaning "beautiful river.” It
wns first applied by the Indi­
ans of the Five Nations to what
we now call the Allegheny riv­
er, one of the chief tributaries
o f the Ohio.
Gradually the
name came to Include the whole
river, sometimes even being ap­
plied to the Mississippi. Later
It was confined to the river be­
tween Pittsburg nnd Cairo, and
appropriately the first state
formed on Its northern bank
was named after It. Ohio Is
often called the Buckeye State
from Its lurge number of horse-
chestnut trees.

Sally Just N aturally Hated to Return
W ithout Something te Show for
the Joumay.
A young couple In the mountains of
Tennessee set out to get married. The
young man put a lump of beeswax In
the bottom of the buggy and with his
prospective bride drove to the nearest
magistrate, who was also a store­
keeper. Tlie young man told the
squire that he wanted to get married,
and also mentioned that he was short
of funds.
Would the magistrate
credit him till more prosperous times?
The hard-hearted magistrate refused.
“Well,’’ said the young man, "I got a
ball of beeswax here, if y'll take that
I'll turn It In on the cost.” The squire
agreed and look the beeswax Into the
store and weighed It, returning with ,
the disappointing news that It lacked 1
a dollar und a half of being big enough
to pay the fee.
• Well, kaln’t yl’ trust me for the
rest?” persisted the young man.
The magistrate shook his bead with J
finality. “Kaln't do It.”
Then Sally slipped Into the breach.
"Hit looks like you could do It this
onct," she wheedled,
“Ain't possible,” was the firm re­
joinder.
“Well," said Sally, her face sudden­
ly brightening, “howcome you kaln’t

To this the editor, not wishing te

Sir Francis Drake explored for
England the coast considerably
north of this. Other Spaniards
made further explorations and
Captain Cook, the English navi­
gator, In 1783 landed at Nootka
Sound and gave it Its name.
Thus both Spain and England
laid claim to this region.
The American rights to this
territory were based on the dis­
covery of the Columbia river In
1792 by Captain Robert Gray,
who sailed from Boston in the
ship Columbia to open up fur
trade.
Many American fur
traders followed and In 1811
John Jacob Astor, the head of
the Pudflc Fur company, estab­
lished a settlement called Astor­
ia at the mouth of the Columbia.
The real opening of the North­
west was the result of the fam­
ous Lewis and Clark expedi­
tion.
By 1843 a decided flow of
emigrants from the East trav­
elled over the Oregon Trail from
Kansas City to the Columbia
river, and thus into Oregon. The
trip over this route occupied
about three months and the set­
tlers generally travelled in large
parties to withstand any pos­
sible attacks from Indians.
American settlers became so
numerous that the United States
actively laid claim to this re­
gion. Spr.in had been forced to
withdraw any rights she may
have had when Florida was
ceded in 1819. This left Eng­
land and America quarrelling
over this section of the country.
Final settlement, with definite
boundaries between the United
States and Canada, was made
In 1,840.
The Oregon territory was
formed In 1848 and the State of
Oregon wns taken into the Un­
ion In 1809 with an area of 90,-
C99 square miles.
