It Was Worth Three Stars to the
American Flag.
SAVED US VAST TERRITORY.
The Perilous Journe> of Four Thou
sand Miles From Oregon lo Washing
ton Made by a Brave Man and tho'
Results Which Followed In Its Wake.
Tho ride of Marcus Whitman wit*
over suow capped mountains and along
dark ravines, traveled only by savage
men. It was a plunge through Icy riv
et's and aeross trackless prairies, a
ride of 4.0M miles across a continent
In the dead of winter to save a mighty
territory to the L'ulou.
Compared with this what was the
feat of Paul Revere, who rode eight
een miles on a calm night In April to
arouse a handful of sleeping patriots
and thereby save the powder at Con
cord?
Whitman's ride saved three stars to
the American Hag. It was made In
1842.
In 170:.'. during the first administra
tion of Washington, Captain Robert
Gray, who had already carried the
American flag around the globe, dis
covered the mouth of the Columbia
river. He sailed several miles up the
great stream stud landed and took pos
session In the name of the Tutted
States.
In 1MI3, under Jefferson's administra
tion. this w.Jt territory was explored
by Captain.; Lewis and Clark, whose
icports were popular reading for our
grandfathers, but the extent and value
of this distant possession were very
slightly understood, and no attempt at
i oloulzatlon was made save the estab
lishment of the fur trading station of
Astoria In 1MI.
Strangely enough, England, too.
claimed this same territory by vfrtue
of lights ceded lo It b.v Russia and
also by the Vancouver surveys of 17l>2.
The Hudson's Bay company establish
ed a number of trading posts and tilled
the country with adventurous fur trad
ers. So here was .1 vast territory, as
large New England and the state of
Indiana combined, which seemed to be
without any positive ownership. But
for Marcus Whitman It would have
Ihxwi lost to the T'nlon.
It was in 1 S'U; (hat l>r. Whitman aim
i nmii of thu inline of Spnulding, with
their vo'iiitr v. Ives. the Urst white wo
men that ever crossed the Hooky
mountains, entered the valle.v of the
Columbia nntl f< nmle?l a mission of
the American lio.irtl. They had been
sent out to Christianize the Indians.
l?ut Whitman was 11K0 to build a state.
He was at this time thirty-live years
eld. Iu his journeys to and fro for
the mission lie soon saw the vast pos
sibilities of the country, ami he saw,
too. that the English were already ap
prised of this and were rapidly pour
ing Into the territory. Cnder the terms 4
?>f the treaties of ISIS and 1S2S It was
the tacit belief that whichever nation
ality settled and organized the splen
did territory would hold it. If Eng
laud and the English fur traders Urul
lieeu successful in their plans, the
three great states of Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho would now constitute a
part of British Columbia. Hut It was
not destine.) to be.
Iu the fall of lS-fci It looked us If
there would Ik- a great lupouriiig of
English iuto the territory, and Dr.
Whitman took the alarm. There was
no time to lose. The authorities at
Washington must I*- warned. Hastily
bidding his wife adieu, Dr. Whitman
started 0:1 his hazardous Journey. The
perils, hardships and delays he en
countered 011 the way we can but
faintly conceive. 1 1 is feet were frozen,
he nearly starved, aud once he -came
very near to losing his life. He kept
pushing right on, aud at the cud of
live terrible months he reached Wash
ington.
He arrived there 11 worn, bearded,
strangely picturesque ligure, clad en
tirely lu buckskin aud fur, u typical
man of the prairies. lie asked audi
ence of President Tyler and Secretary
of State Webster, and it was accorded
him. All clad as he was, with his
frozen limbs, just in from his 4,000
mile ride. Whitman aoueared before
the two great men to plead for Ore
gon.
Ills statement wns n revelation to
the administration. Previous to Whit
man's visit It was the general Ulea In
congress that Oregon was a barron,
worthless country, fit only for wild
beasts and wild men. He opened the
eyes of tbo government to the limit
less wealth and splendid resources of
that western territory. He told them
of Its great rivers and fertile valleys,
Its mountains covered with forests
und Its mines filled with precious
treasures. He showed them that it
was a country worth keeping aud
that it must not fall into the hands of
the English. He spoke as a man in
spired, and his words were heeded.
What followed? the organization of
companies of emigrants, the rapid set
tlement of the territory and the treaty
made with (Ireat Britain in 1840 by
which the forty-ninth parallel was
made the Inmndary line west of the
Ilocky mountains?are matters of his
tory.
The foresight and the heroism of
one mau and his gallant ride had
snved three great states to the Un

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
6uccoss and creditable standing. Accor
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine ?
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
