A Scrap of History.
At the time of the formation of a pro
visional government by and for the settlers
of Oregon in 1845, the Oregon boundary
-as a burning issue between England and
the iUnited States. Prior to that period
neither government had appeared atliber
ty to extend the jurisdiction of its laws to
this part of America. In the judgment of
McLaughlin, chief factor bf the Hudson's
Bay company, the best way to protect its
property was to accept the invitation ten
dered by the Americans to join their gov
ernment organization. Accordingly after
a brief lapse of time, on condition that the
company should pay taxes only on goods
sold to the white inhabitants of the coun
try, the officers of the Hudson Bay com
pany became with all the British residents
particsto the political compact of Oregon.
It was a most timely :ction, the union of
the lion with the eagle. For only a few
days later the British fifty gun ship of
war, America, arrived from Puget Sound.
The British squadron of the Pacific then
amounted to fiftee'n vessels, carrying over
four hundred guns. The avowed object
of tlis fleet w.: to "offer protection to her
majesty's subjects in Oregon, if they re
quired it." Had these proffers of protec
tion, which really meant war, come a few
weeks sooner, war doubtless would have
been the result. "When they came to
Vancouver," says Mr. Bancroft, the Pacific
coast historian, "'thley expected to main
tain England's hold of the north side of
the Columbia river, but they found the
I-ludson Bay company bound in an agree
ment of mutual protection with the Ameri
-cans; they learned of the fearless and res
olute character of the colonies, and their
rapidly increasing numbers, and were con
stantly checked in their expressions of
hostility by McLaugilin who assured them
and even wrote to England that the coun
try was not worth a war. Gordon, the
commander of the man-of-war, America,
is said to have agreed with ,McLaughlin,
but entirely on different grounds. He
was speaking literally, because he found
the Nisqually plains a bed of gravel; and
because being fond of angling, the salmon
would not rise to the fly. A country where
the fish were not lively enough for his
sport was in his estimation worthless. But
the salmon were not the only fish in Ore
gon that refused to rise to the l1y of the
Brisish angler."
'Senator Davis in the Northwest.
,Fnam the admirable acceptance speech
-of senator-elect C. K. Davis, ;e make the
following extract, showing his attitude to
wvards Montana, as well as Minnesota and
the whole northwest: The duties of a
senator or represenative from this state
will be intimately connected with the new
nmat.west, of which Minnesota is a part.
It is mow nearly thirty years since Mr.
Seward, the most prescient of American
statesmen, stood upon the steps of this
capital and, looking into the seeds of time
declared that he spoke from a place des
ined to be the center of a great empire.
This, like other memorable utterances of
that prophetic spirit, was received with
incredulity which has long since ceased
mnd has been succeeded by belief, as hIs
prediction has come to pass. HIe stood
'where civilization then stood, pausing up
-on her western outposts. To-day there is
,not in the northwest a frontier from which
such a prediction could be made. That
which he forsaw exists. Great communi
ties fill the area from the Mississippi to
frhe Pacific, Washington, Idaho, Montana
and Dakota struggling in the trammels of
an unjust pupilage. The relations of Min
nesots to thcse communities are of the
most intimate character and will continue
to be so. The empire of the northwest
was founded here, and, for many years to
come, the identity of interests will ma;me
it the duty and interest of every citizen of
this state to labor for its aggrandizement.
I esteem it as one of the greatest privil
-eges of my life to be called to a position
where, in some degree, I can assist in the
development of that vast region of which
Minnesota is now the most powerful com
ponent.
Folob~ing a Dangerous Precedent.
An Ottawa correspondent of the Jl;51
a ys: Yesterday an announcement was
made that the imperial government has
consented to send men-of-war out next
season to assist in the protection of the
Canadian fisheries. To the people of the
United State., doubtless, this will be any
thing but palatable information, but as a
matter of fact it is simply following the
precedent est fii.-ihed before the Washing
ton treaty came into operltion. The promi
nent official on interrogated as to the cor
rectness: of the report, said it is true that
the imperial authorities has consented to
send out one or two gunboats next spring
to assist the marine police in enforcing
our fishery rights.

Hardings Parfner Captured.
On Wednesday morning last Sheriff T
E. Jones quietly boarded tho north bound
train, avowedly for Glendale, but when
the train rerched Melrose he forgot to get
off, and the next "-e heard of him was
when he stepped off the train on Thursday
I on Thursday night with a prisoner in tow.
SHis crime dates a long way back, but the
details of the murder of George Ferguson,
the Glendale stage driver, and the convic
t tion of Harding are too fresh to need re
citing. lIowever, there is a chapter of
secret work connected with the case which
will soon come out. On the night of May
22d Sheri ffJones began his tireless work
in the search of the murderers, and on the
29th Harding was run down in Butte.
With but a faint clue of identity JTonesbe
gan the search for his accomplice, and it
was as difficult and relentless as it was
tiresome. The details will be gven later,
and it can only be said now that the net
work of circumstances so pointed to -Mi
chael Kennedy- that County Attorney
Barbour swore to a complaint, on infor
mation and belief, charging Kennedy
with the crime. It was ascertained that
he was in Butte. A man nimed Ken
nedy was arrested,but tur:ned out to be the
wrong one. Then Sheriff Jones went up
as stated, and he and Marshal Jolly ar
rested Kennedy at Cectarville, and he is
now in the Dillon jail.--Exaniiner.
