Sot 170 Monday, January 3, 1955 .at Th Ruin of John McLoughlin The Great Emigration of 1843 drove a mortal blow into the heart of Hudson's Bay Company enterprise in the Oregon coun try. And it was the beginning of ruin for the heroic soul, Dr. John McLoughlin, in his mater ial position. First of all, the fall storms of cold wind and rain came early, in cloud packs that rolled and tossed up the Columbia from the North Pacific. Hundreds of people a thou sand, one man reported of the emigration were trapped at the Cascades, where rafts had been broken up, with several lives lost and provisions sunk. The people were marooned in the great, gloomy gorge, train worn, storm-beaten, hungry, tat tered, cold and well-nigh des perate. Sea of Red Ink .... McLoughlin ordered out the bateaux in the fury of the winds and beating rain. There were loaded with piles of food and some, clothing, the voyageurs grim at the oars, without song. The rescue went on night and day. Hundreds were fed and sheltered and supplied. Every item given had to be noted on George Simpson's ledgers. To sell the supplies and the food was one thing, under company orders, to give so much away or 67-22. 2 Pope Pius XIII suffered se vere relapse. 4 Paul M.

MEDFOKD BtANCH itn HMD 0M6ON rOCCIMtt or LfeR to give credit for the asking, left Dr. McLoughlin responsible. But the doctor was no man to be stopped in meeting dire hu man needs by threat of nun for himself. And such needs kept rising as the caravans came on, year by year. In the final accounting, the Fort Vancouver books showed bad debts amounting to $60,000 in United States money. The company took the loss. But this was only one of a number of causes of the separa tion of George Simpson and John McLoughlin. Soon James Douglas succeeded "White Head ed Eagle," who retired to a simple home and comparatively poor living at Oregon Cify. " The Good Old Days ... McLoughlin's salary was small by today's standards, even while he was governor of the Pacific Northwest province of the Hud son's Bay Company's empire. But he did enjoy great power and a princely position. The Fort Vancouver scene and ways of life have been exhaus tively described by the eloquent among the company's guests there. Lieutenant Charles Wilk es, commander of the USN ex ploring expedition of 1838- 42 was one of a score. Wilkes took note of the wages paid by the company to its "ser vants" were low, the food issue poor, the restrictions hard, the five-year agreements loaded in the company's favor, with traps to catch the servant through in debtedness. There was security of a sort. The servant who stayed uncom plainingly with the company could -feel secure. The condi tions, Wilkes observed, were good for the morals of the ser vants, and of the settlers who were bound to the company.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Missing Skier Found At School in Seattle Portland (U.R) A search for a 26-year-old medical, stu dent believed to be lost on the slopes of Mt. Hood was called off early today when it was learned the "missing skier" had hitchhiked to Seattle. Fred C. Flannigan, University of Washington student, was re ported missing at 5:30 p.m. yes: terday. A volunteer search party was formed after a check of ski trails failed to locate the skier. However, Flannigan's family phoned the ski lodge from Puy allup, Wash., and said he had hitchhiked tj Seattle to resume his classes. - G served, he wrote, "together with steady habits ... The con sequence is that few commun ities can be found more well-behaved and - orderly than that which is formed of the persons who have retired from the comp any's service. That this power, exercised by the officers of the Company, is much complained of, I am aware, but I am satis fied that as far as the morals of the settlers and servants are concerned, it is used for good purposes." Iron discipline ruled. And, in the end, it was as hard on John McLoughlin as on the poorest servant. And his charity brought it on him.
