Saved OkVgoii ' For IV. S. ' It was more than: a desperate and perilous trip. that -Marcus Whitman undertook, -it was a '.race against time. Public opinion - was rapidly crystallizing., into a judgment that the Oregon country was not worth claiming, much less worth fighting for; that, even though it- could be acquired against the Insistence of Great Britain, it would prove to be a liability rather than an asset. . . It Is with sheer amazement that wet now read the declarations of the leadlug memof that period. So good an American, so sturdy of a front iersman', .so willing a. fighter, as General Jackson shook his ' head ominously in fear least the national domain should get too. far outspread, and warned the country that its safe ty "lay in -a compact government." Senator McDuffie, of South Carolina, declared he :"would not give- a pinch of snuff for: the whole territory," and expressed the wish that the Rocky mountains ware "an impass able barrier." Senator Dayton, of New York, said that, with very lim ited exceptions, "the whole country was as Irreclaimable and barren a waste as, the Sahara desert," and the : malaria had- carried away most of , its ntive population. . Even.: so far seeing and staunch an advocate of weBterninterests as Thomas Benton protested that the ridge' of the Rockies should be made our western boundary, and avowed that "on the highest peake the statue of the fa bled God, Terminus, should- be erect ed, never to be throws down." ;. j - Webster Lukewarm : - Webster, . although not definitely antagonistic, was uninterested and lukewarm. .Years before he had pro nounced Oregon "a barren, worth lets country, fit only for wild beasts and wild men," and he was not one who changed opinions readily. But neither was Whitman one easily dis mayed. Encoflraged ' hy the mani fest friendliness of President Tyler, he portrayed . with vivid eloquence the salubrity of the climate, the fer tility of the soil, the magnitude of the forests, the evidences of ore in the mountains, and the splendor of the wide valleys drained by the great rivers. And he did not hesitate to speak plainly, as one who knew, even like the prophet Daniel. "Mr. Secretary," he declared, "you would better give all New I'-ngluud for the cod and mackerel fisheries of Newfoundland titan to ;.' barter away Orqgon." . ' . ' Then, turning to the president in conclusion, ho added fljuletly but be seechingly: . "AH I ask is that you Will-not barter away Oregon or allow English Interference until I can lead a band of stalwart American settlers across the plains, for this I shall try to do." . . . ' " The maniy appeal was Irresistible. He sought only the privilege of proving his faitli. The Just and con siderate Tyler could not refuse. ,-. President Grants IlcijiK'st : "Doctor Whitman," he rejoined sympathetically, "your long ride and frozen limbs testify to your cour age and your patriotism. Your cre dentials establish your character. Your request is granted'." Whitman's strategy was true statesmanship. Substantial occupa tion would make good the claim of the United States, and that was what lie had initiated during his few days in St. Louis. A few months later he had completed an organization of eager souls, and led the first movement by wagon train across plains and mountains along this un biased trail.- What a sight that caravan must have appeared to the roaming sav ages! And what an experience for the intrepid pioneers! More than two hundred wagons, bearing well-nigh a thousand emi grants, made up the party. , They traveled by substantially the same route that Whitman had taken when he first went out to Oregon: from af rendezvous near what is now Kan sas City they moved due northwest across Kansas and southeast Ne braska to the Platte river: followed the Platte to the middle of what is now Wyoming, thence crossing the mountains by way of the Sweetwa ter valley and the south Platte; and from Fort Hall, following the well known route, roughly paralleling the Snake river, into Oregon. The dif ficulties of the trip, involving be side the two hundred wagons, the care of womes and children, and of considerable herds of livestock, were such that its successful accomplish ment seems almost miraculous; Determination Truniphed ,' But stern determination triumph-. ed and the result was conclusive. Americans had settled the country. Tho country belonged to them ho canso' they had taken it ; and In the end the' boundary settlement was made on th0 line of the forty-ninth parallel, your great northwest was saved, and 'a veritable empire war, merged in the young republic. Never in the history of the world has there, been a finer eamplo of civilization following Christianity. The missionaries led, uiidtr the ban ner of the cross, and the settlers moved close-behind under the star spangled symbol of the nation. Among all of tho records of. evnn elizlng erfort as the forerunner of human advancement, there is none so Impressive, a3. this , of the, early Oregon - mission nnd its marvelous consequences (To: the inen and wo men of Unit early day whoso first thought was to carry the gospel to the Indians to the Lees, the Snauld tngg. the Gravs, the Walkers, the Leslies, to Fathers DeSinot and Illanchet and On .Mors, and to all the others of that glorious company who found that in serving God they I were also serving their country nnd llieir fellow men to Litem we pay today our tribute; to them, we owe a debt of gratitude which wo can never pay, save partially through recogni tion such as you have accorded.

Tho lesson can not fail to impress itself. In this test of self-reliant citizenship there cumo tho rugged, militant, wholesome west.
