DISCOVERY OF THE CO"
.uMBIA RIVER,
..m Uray, In 1793.
Tbe discovery of the Columbia by
an American naviKator was ol high
importance, inanmuob as it furuiuhed
tbe United States its original basis of
claim to what is known as "the Ore
gon country," out of which the states
of Oregon, VanhinKton and Idaho and
narts of Montana and Wyoming have
boon carved.
Sailed In 1SH7.
Nearly two years before George
Washiniftou was iuangurated as the
first president of the United States,
Captain Robert Gray started upon a
voyage on which he visited the Paciflo
coast at the niouin or me river now
named the Columbia, although be did
not make sure at the time that he
came so near discovering a great riv
er. Two American vessels, the Co
lumbia Kodiviva, Captain John Ken
drik, and the Lady Washington, Cap
tain Robert Oray, sailed from Boston
September 30, 1787 with cargoes of
goods for the Indians, 'i'hey rounded
the Horn and sailed up the Pacific
coast to Nootka sound, their object
being to engage in the fur trade of the
great Northwest. The two vessels,
however, were seperated by a storm
soon after passing Cape Horn, and the
Lady Washington reached the Oregon
coast in August, where, near the 4tb
parallel. Captain Oray ran bis ship
aground in attempting to eutor an
arm of the soa which be had already
explored in small boats for some miles,
aud wliloh be believed to be the stream
then vaguely known as the Klver of
the West now the Columbia. The
ship was attacked by Indians and one
seaman was killed aud the mate was
wounded. This attack caused tbe
ship to put out to sea again. Histor
ians differ as to wberthor Oray actu
ally visited the mouth of the Colum
bia on this voyage. Oreenhow holds
that the light with the Indians took
place in tbe Columbia, but llanoroft
is inclined to the belief that it was
Tillamook Bay. The Columbia and
the Lady Washington both anohored in
Nootka Sound until the next spring,
returning to Boston on August 10,
171)0.
Adventurous Navigators.
It should be remembered that at
this time there were many adventur
ous navigators who were eager to dis
cover the mouth of the great river of
the west. Tboy believed it to be the
1'aclUo end of a mythical "northwest
passage" extending across the conti
nent from Hudson's Bay. Many years
before, the British government had
offered a prize of 20, OU pounds to tbe
navigator who would discover this
passage, which for a century bad been
supposed to exist. Tbe Hudson Bay
company, which heir the Crown's
charter granting It exclusive right to
trade in the whole of interior and
Western North America above the
Spanish possessions discouraged any
attempts to find this passage from the
Hudson bay side, aud the navigators
inado sarcb for it on the Pacillo coast.
Captain James Cook, tho most fam
ous British navigators of bis time,
had sailod only 80 days atfer the de
claration of Amerlcau Independence,
in the shape of discovering the ira
agluargy passage. On the lHth of
January. 1778. he discovered the Ha
waii an Islands, which be named the
Sandwich islands lu honor of the first
lord of admlrality. Resuming his
eastward course, Captain Cook en
countered the coast of "New Albion,"
otherwise Oregon, near the 44th par
allel, far south of the Columbia. Se
vere storms drove him far out to sea
aud he did not reach laud again until
he was 2 degrees north of the mouth
of the Columbia.
The New Country,
Cook returned to England after
four years of voyaging, and tho ao
oouuts of his expedition aroused great
interest. Great Britiau lieing eager to
annex the new country on the Pacific
England, Russia and Krauce each dis
patched expeditious to explore the
legion more thoroughly and to share
in the fur trade of Nootka sound.
Captain John Meares, a British navi
gator, sailod in a vessel to engage lu
the fur trade ou his own responsibil
ity, aud during his voyage he found
au opening in the coast which he
named "Deception bay," but which
undoubtedly was the mouth of the
Columbia. Meares, however, did not
disuover that it was a river and sailed
away. Had ha made the discovery,
Great Britain might now be the pos
sessor of all the rich territory sur
rounding and Including the Lewis
and Clark exposition site.
But Captiau Oray remained only six
weeks in Boston after returning from
his first voyage, starting for tho north
Flic I lie again on the -Hth of Septem
ber, 1700,1)118 time in command of the
ship Columbia Kodiviva. Oray reached
Vancouver island tbe next June.
About the same time Captain Oenrge
Vancouver of tho British royal navy
laigan a series of voyages up and down
the l'acitlo coast, for purposes of ex
ploration. In April, lilfj, be reached
"Deception bay" and mado some ob
servations, falling in a little later
with the Columbia a few miles south
of the straits of Kuca. Captain Oray
freely informed the Briton as to his
own observation, but Vancouver de
clined to believe in the oxisteauce of
the river of the west. Once more
Oreat Britain sailed away from an Im
minent discovery of great importance.
Sailed Soullinard.
Leaving Vancouver In the straits of
Kucu, Captain Oray sailed southward
in Die good ship Columbia, and on
May 7 entered a port which be named
Bullfinch harbor, in honor of one of
the owners of tils vessel. Many ludl
aim surrounded his vessel, rowing
out in their lug dugout canoes. Oray
warned them to keep off, but they ad
vanced, aud ho opened fire on them.
It is tiiis incident which George Dav-
IiIhoii lias illustrated in his curious
drawing, which gives a most remark
able rendering of the heights and
headlands at the mout h of the Colum
bia river. On tho 11th of May the
Columbia safely crossed the bar and
entered at last the mighty river, upon
which (..upturn Gray bestowed the
name of his ship. He cast anchor 10
miles up tho river, and a few days
later he proceeded 1.) miles farther up
the Columbia, got Into the shoal water
by missing the channel and theu
dropped down to anchor again near
the mouth.
Not long afterward Captain Vancou
ver also sailed up the river, being con
vinced by this time that it really was
the river of the west, of which the In
dians had told.
Captain liray's discovery of the
Columbia, together with the explora
tion of that river and the interior
country by Meriwether Lewis and
William Clark 111 years later, gave the
United States its claim upon the Ore
gon country, and by the treaty of 1840
added 307,000 square miles of opuleut
territory to our domain.

Shall Japenese Re Excluded!
Portland Telegram.
Mr. P. Young, the managing editor
of the San Francisco Chronicle, de
clares in an interview that the Japan
ese are a menace to the United States,
aud that their immigration to this
country should be prohibited. The
entire California doleagtion in Con
gress, we are further told, is in favor
ofexcludlng these people as the Chi
nese are excluded.
Sometimes when an American wants
to talk about his country, he says
that America alone could hold all the
people of the world without being
full, or that Texas is capable ofjfoed
ing all that tread tbe glob. But on
other occasions we aro informed when
people flock to our shores that the
country is in danger.
Well, perhaps it is. But to some
it will appear that America's greatoi-t
foesare not the Japanese, but they
wboVielong to our own household.
TbeJJapanese may not lie perfect, but
If we found as much honesty among
our officials as nmy lie found among
the officials of Japan, there would be
occasion for rejoicing. The great ob
jection to the Japanese appears to lie
that they assimilate our Ideas alto
gether too well. Do they find that
Americans are often given to dishon
esty in trade? They can lieat the
Americans at their own game. Na
turally, they are not popular. We
hear much also about the dishonesty
of the Japanese In their owu country.
But it should not lie forgotten that
the Japanese does not play dishonest
when dealing with bis nation. Wit
against wit, he may play, but the in
terest of tbe whole is to him para
mount. Aud it is of this loyalty to
his nation that in battle after battle
he has shown such good stuff in him
that be would not flinch. Consider
those charges on the fortifications of
Port Arthur. Probably no troops of
any European land would have made
such charges. Their commanders
would never have thought of ordering
them. Vet tbe Japanese went to their
deaths without a murmer, because
they believed that the charges, though
they might lie unsuccessful, would
st 11 further weaken the Kuissiau garri
son. With such people as these we have
got to reckon. It was easy enough
to say to the Cbluese, "keep out. "
The Chinese nation was weak. But
Japan is strong. Moreover, it is prob
able that atfer the present war Is con
cluded Japau will take measures to
reform the army system of China.
China aud Japan united might tie in
vincible against the world. Though
the Chinese does not want to fight, he
Is capable of fighting when he is com
pelled. America should not forget
that to deal unfairly with the Japanese
will make one of the great powers of
tbe world an enemy. This may mean
later a powerful and united opposi
tion on the part of a combined Japan
and China. What this opposition
might mean one may not predict with
confidence. It might meau even more.
At present the Japanese are friend
ly. They are more than friendly.
Toward America they look with a
strong feeling of reverence. Why
should we seek to change this feel
lugf Whatever Japanese vices may
tie, the Japanese are also a people pos
sessing many virtues, and some of
these virtues are rare ones. Ain.ri
cans have much to learn from the Ori
eat. And to exclude the Japanese
from our shores would result lu injury
to both countries.
There are those who believe that a
nation may be built up ouly by injur
ing other nations. This policy bas
been tried and it baa failed. Every
Injury Inflicted upon a foreign land
has resulted in injury to the home
country. The world is governed by
a few great natural laws. We may
not llvenln accordance with these laws,
but no manjor nation can break them.
A man or nation may try to do
so, but the laws will break them.
Only by justice may men or the na
tions live. America shoud think long
and earnestly before deciding to dis
pense with justice. And no nation
is just when it resorts to barbarian
methods, such as an act excluding
the Japanese from our shores would
be.
