days to go; -from Walla Walla to

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

Brisbane Says:
: "What is the art of advertising? It is the art of
getting a truthful idea from one brain into another
or into fifty million other brains.
"In advertising, first you must create a thing the
people WANT, That is the task of the manufacturer,
the business man who understands production and
quality.
"After that you must MAKE the people KNOW
that you have it. In addition to that you must, by
description and convincing argument, MAKE the peo
ple WANT it.
"Making the people know that the thing is to
be had and making the people WANT that thing,
such ia the task of the advertiser."
