Historical Talk Given For Club Mrs. Eric de Place traced the early history of the Oregon country at the last meeting of Southern Oregon Stamp club. Mrs. de Place has made a col lection showing the history of each state through stamps. Ms. de Place stated that first records show that Bartolome Ferrelo, a Spanish mariner with Cabrillo, visited the Oregon coast during January of 1543, and that he claimed to have passed the mouth of the Rogue river and to have reached the 43rd parallel. History shows that Sir Fran cis Drake sailed along the Ore gon cliffs around 1579; it was more than two centuries later before the records show other white men visited the coast. In 1774 and 1775, other Spanish sailers, including Juan Perez and Bruno Heceta, made voy ages along the entire Oregon coast, and in 1778, Captain James Cook, the English ex plorer, visited the northwest Within another decade both American and English mariners were trading with the natives. Among these were Robert Gray, who named the Columbia river and George Vancouver, the Eng lish Naval man who explored Puget Sound, she explained. America really came into the picture with the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805-06 when they wintered on the coast near the mouth of the Columbia. John Jacob Astor's partners built Fort Astoria in 1811 and in 1812 sold out to the North West Fur company. The fort was captured by a British war vessel, and renamed Fort George. In 1821 the North West company was absorbed by the Hudson's Bay company, which established headquarters at Fort Vancouver, under the leader ship of Dr. John McLoughlin; the great company enjoyed a monopoly of the fur trade for 25 years and exercised govern mental control, according to the speaker. Claimed by both England and the United States on the basis of discovery, exploration and set tlement, the Oregon question at times was hotly debated both in Washington and in meetings in the Oregon country. Some of the famous people who helped civilize the Oregon country were Jason Lee, the Methodist missionary; Marcus and Narcissus Whitman, and the Henry Spaldings, Presbyterian missionaries. The Whitman Spalding party brought the first white women to the Oregon country, and also brought the first wagons west of Fort Hall. The Spalding's daughter was the first white child born in Idaho at that time part of the Ore gon country. The United States has issued several stamps commemorating events and places in the original Oregon Territory which includ ed the present states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and the parts of Montana and Wyoming west of the continental divide. Mrs. de Place's collection showing the history of each state is ar ranged so that each page depicts a map of the state. On the five pages for the for mer Oregon Territory, there is one stamp that appears on each page. Commemorating the cen tennial of the Oregon Territory, it shows a map of the country, a map of the old Oregon Trail, a pioneer wagon and the dates 1836-1936. The first day of issue was July 14, 1936; the first day cities were Astoria, Ore.; Walla Walla, Wash. Missoula, Mont.; Lewiston, Ida., and Daniel, Wyo. Other stamps on the Oregon page depict Crater Lake, and the Oregon Terrtory tamp is sued in 1948, which pictures Ja son Lee and Dr. McLoughlin, an oxteam and wagon and an In dian. The first day sale was at Oregon City. The page for Washington shows another national parks is sue, depicting Mount Rainier which was issued for the first time at Longmire, Wash., Aug. 3, 1934. The 50th anniversary of statehood stamp, with first day sale at Olympia, Wash., and He hela, Mont., are displayed on maps of both states. The Grand Coulee issue appeared May 15, 1952 at Grand Coulee, Wash., and the Washington Centennial issue appeared March 2, 1953, at Olympia. It depicts a pioneer and his wife, Mount Rainier and a lake; an ox wagon and team. . . . New . . . French Discovery Hair Treatment which restores and revitalizes abused and dam aged hair.
