The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XLI. WASHINGTON
THE story;
of Wash
ington, t b
for ty-second
state of " the
Union, la tied
up with two
of our presi
dents. The first Is obvious, for
It was In honor of our first presi
dent, George Washington, that
the state was named, as a last
ing memorial to this great soldier-statesman.
But the actual
fate of this region was due to
President Polk, and formed the
main Issue In his campaign for
election In 1844.
Previous to that time, the
country north of California and
extending to Alaska, which was
then owned by Russia, was called
the Oregon territory. Claim was
laid to this region by both Great
Britain and the United States as
has been seen In the story of
Oregon. In 1818, when the boun
dary between Canada and the
United States was settled, this
line was definitely placed from
the Atlantic coast to the Rocky
mountains. But no agreement
could be renched west of that,
and it was left under an arrange
ment whereby this territory was
to be jointly occupied by the
British and Americans.
Settlers from the United
States began to come Into the
Northwest in such numbers that
the United States felt that they
should own this section, which
Included the present states of
Oregon and Washington, and
British Columbia, through the
right of possession. Agitation
In favor of actively pushing our
claims became bo strong that
when Polk was nominated by the
Democrats In 1844, one of the
main planks In the party plat
form was the famous one popu
larly called, "Fifty-four forty or
fight"
In 1846 a peaceful settlement
was made with England on a
compromise basis.
In 1853 Washington territory
was separated from Oregon. It
did not, however, become a state
until 18S9, and then only after
thirteen years petitioning for ad
mission. ( by McClura Nawapapar 6adlcaU.)

Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XLII IDAHO
THE year
1889 sa
the stars In
our flag in
crease from
thirty-eight to
forty-two, for
four states
were added to the Union in that
year. In 1800 two more states
were admitted, the first of which
was Idaho, so that during these
two years the manufacturer
must have been kept busy turn
ing out new flags with the prop
er number of stars.
Idaho Is very montainous and
the name is derived from the
Shoshone Indian word meaning
"gem of mountains."
The first white explorers were
undoubtedly Lewis and Clark on
their memorable trip in 1804-6.
Idaho was a part of Oregon
territory, which was Jointly oc
cupied by British and Americans
until the Treaty of 1840 definite
ly turned over to the United
States the country south of the
49th parallel. In 18G3 Idaho
was organized as a territory,
with an area three times the size
of the present state, as It in
cluded Montana and part of
Wyoming. The next year Mon
tana was set off for a territory
by Itself, and in 1803 Wyoming
was organized bo that In 1890
when Idaho was admitted as
the forty-third state of the Un
ion, its area was reduced to 83,
883 square miles. Even so It
rank as the eleventh state In
size.
The rapid settlement of Idaho
was due to the discovery of gold,
the same cause which so rapidly
built np the adjacent states. It
was In 1882 that gold was found
at Coeur d'Alene In the northern
part of the state, and miners Im
mediately flocked to the state
In great numbers.
There was serious labor trou
ble in the Coeur d'Alene sec
tion in 1892 and again in 1890,
when martial law was estab
lished until peace between the
miners and mine owners was
effected.
Idaho is fift from the end in
the list of states according to
population, and accordingly has
but four presidential electors.
But the state is developing rap
idly. (QlrHoGu Nrw papr BrJlot)

XLVIII. TERRITORIES
terUR Story
1 of our
States' would
not be com
plete without
a brief men
tion of the
other terri
tory of Uie United States, which
Is not Included in the actual forty-eight
states. The biggest of
these territories is Alaska, with
an area of 690,884 square miles.
This huge region was under Rus
sian domination until 18G7 when
the United States purchased it
for $7,200,000, or less than two
cents an acre. There was some
grumbling at the time by a few
congressmen over "adding a re
frigerator to the United States."
But the refrigerator has been
found to be well stocked with
gold, coal, forests and fisheries,
so that Alaska has proven a
profitable Investment
Hawaii, like Alaska, is a reg
ular territory. In 1803 there
was a successful revolution
against the Hawaiian queen, and
a provisional government was
formed under American protec
tion. In 1898, at the request of
the population, Hawaii was an
nexed to the United States.
Porto Rico, Guam and the Phil
ippines were ceded to the United
States In 1899 as a result of the
Spanish-American war. Porto
IUo atd the Philippines are de
pendencies and not territories.
Their local affairs are admlnls
teted by a legislature of two
houses and they are represented
in the United States by resident
commissioners elected by the leg
islatures. Guam is under the
control of naval officers In com
mand of naval stations. Under
similar naval control are the
Tutulla group and Samoa,
which were ceded In 1S99 by
Great Britain and Germany,
Then there Is the Panama Ca
nal Zone, which was purchased
from Panama In 1904 for $10,
000.000. This la governed by the
Isthmian Canal commission
The year 1917 saw the pur
chase from Denmark of the Vir
gin Islands, for $25,000,000.
These aggregate only 150 square
miles and are temporarily gov
erned by naval officer.
Finally, there la the District
of Columbia, which was organ
Ued In 1791, as the teat of our
federal government. The resi
dents have no vote for either
local or national officials, nor
are they represented In congress.
RECALL BALLOT
REASONS FOR DEMANDING THE RECALL OF FRED A. WILLIAMS, COMMISSIONER OF THE
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF OREGON.
"Petitioners do respectfully demand the recall of Fred A. Williams as a Commissioner of the
Public Service Commission of Oregon, for the reason that he is inefficient, and he fail3 to give proper
consideration of the public interests in permitting and fixing unreasonable and unjust rates and
charges to be charged for telephones by telephone companies. Said Fred A. Williams having been
elected by the legal voters at large, of this state, at the general election held in this state on Novem
ber 5, 1918, as a Commissioner of the Public Service Commission of Oregon,"
COMMISSIONER OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF OREGON FRED A WILLIAMS
JUSTIFICATION OF HIS COURSE IN OFFICE.
"Received nomination four years ago at direct primaries on both Republican and Democratic
tickets.
"My opponent here was selected, not through direct primary, but by an assembly composed of
few office seekers promoting recall for political purposes.
"This is my first term and will expire in seven months.
"I was sincere in refusing to be candidate for renomination at the primaries on account of
heavy expense involved, but the recall has forced me into this election, and whether or not the recall
is proper in form or legal in procedure, I am willing to submit my cause to the people of Oregon.
"Out of about 500 formal cases heard and decided during my incumbency, there has been but
one appeal from the decisions of the Commission and in that case the court sustained the Commission.
"The question at issue is whether or not there shall be fair and impartial administration of the
law of our statute books and decisions based on the evidence and records without fear or favor, and
with reason and justness.
"I have an abiding faith that my constituents will exercise the right of suffrage without mal
ice or passion and for law and order.
Yours very respectfully,
FRED A. WILLIAMS."

President of Disabled Veterans' Auxiliary Scores Williams
Mrs. George L. Williams, president of the Disabled Veteran's Auxiliary, addressed a letter to Ralph E.
Williams, Republican National Committeeman, last Thursday, demanding an explanation as to why he employs
Oriental labor in his hop yards at a time when many ex-service men are jobless.
Williams is one of the largest hop dealers in Oregon.
Mrs. Williams' letter follows:
DISABLED VETERANS' AUXILIARY
Mr. Ralph E. Williams,
617 Board of Trade Building,
Portland, Oregon.
Dear Sir: Positive eviilnce having come to my knowledge that you employ Oriental labor in yonr hop yard?,
while hundreds of unemployed war veterans and other American citizens ara vainly seekin work, I have felt it my
duty as president of the Disabled Veterans' Auxiliary t' inquire jour reason for t!i a attitude.
Controlling, as you do, the stock in several banks and ranking as one of Portland's wealthy mn. there would
appear to be no financial reason why yon should not employ at a reasonable wage your fellow American citizens who
oed work to support themselves and dependents, and exclude at) Oriental labor.
One feature that has impressed itself forcibly or.cn riiy attention is the fact that the sxawpl set by o i nn
that mar influence other employers. You are nut merely a private citizen. You are the Republican National Com
mitteeman and, as such, the head of the party or,rarii7.tion in this, state and you therefore owe it to t!e Republican
of Oregon to furnish by your conduct a correct example for other employees to follow.
I have no radical prejudice against Orientals. I simply feel that tbe unemployment problem since the
armistice has become so acute that our American folk should b taken care of to tbe t-ntire exclusion of Oriental
labor. You are a wealthy man and can eas.ly afford to employ American help at proper wages.
Y'ours very truly,
MR. GEO. L. WILLIAM',
President, Disabled Veterans' Auxiliary.
