SECRET AID for OREGON MISSIONS Dr. Minnie F. Howard
SECRET AID FOR OREGON MISSIONS Dr. Minnie F. Howard, President of Southern Idaho His torical Society, has called attention to the fact that the latest, or eleventh, edition of the Enclycopedia Britannica, Volume XX., page, 248, in the article on "Oregon," says: "In this year [1838] Jason Lee returned to the Eastern States and carried back to Oregon with him by sea over fifty people, missionaries and their families. It is significant, if true, that part of the money for char tering his vessel was supplied from the Secret Service fund of the United States Government." Doctor Howard then asked if there was any basis for this new edition statement. An appeal to search the records at the National Capital was sent to Prof. J. F. Jameson, Director of the Department of Histor ical Research, Carnegie Institution. In his reply he said: "I am informed by the Treasury Department that their accounts of ex penditures from the Secret Service fund begin only in 1865, and their impression is that the fund, as such, did not exist before that time." Although the most likely source of such information proved unavailing, Professor Jameson added: "It is barely possible that some expenditures, having that nature, may somewhere be re corded in the archives of the Department of State, but the person to whom I am referred as the one who would know about this is now absent upon his vacation." He added that, as the Encyclo pedia Britannica probably derived its information directly or indi rectly from the statement in Hubert Howe Bancroft's History of Oregon, (San Francisco, 1886,) Volume 1., pages 176-177, it would be well to check against the manuscript source used by that author. -

THE SIGNERS of the OREGON MEMORIAL of 1838 the Present Year, 1933, Is One of Unrest and Anxiety
THE SIGNERS OF THE OREGON MEMORIAL OF 1838 The present year, 1933, is one of unrest and anxiety. But a period of economic crisis is not a new experience in the history of our nation. The year 1837 marked the beginning of a real panic which, with its after-effects lasted well into 1844. This panic of 1837 created a restless population. Small wonder, then, that an appeal for an American Oregon from a handful of American settlers in a little log mission-house, on the banks of the distant Willamette River, should have cast its spell over the depression-striken residents of the Middle Western and Eastern sections of the United States. The Memorial itself, the events which led to its inception, and the detailed story o~ how it was carried across a vast contin ent by the pioneer Methodist missioinary, Jason Lee, have already been published by the present writer.* An article entitled The Oregon Memorial of 1838" in the Oregon Historical Quarterly for March, 1933, also by the writer, constitutes the first docu mented study of the Memorial. Present-day citizens of the "New Oregon" will continue to have an abiding interest in the life stories of the rugged men who signed this historiq first settlers' petition in the gray dawn of Old Oregon's history. The following article represents the first attempt to present formal biographical sketches of the thirty-six signers of this pioneer document. The signers of the Oregon Memorial of 1838 belonged to three distinct groups who resided in the Upper Willamette Valley and whose American headquarters were the Methodist Mission house. -

Oregon City – First Capital City in the West
December 2017 Oregon City – First Capital City in The West A History of Oregon City – see page 2. Webfooters Post Card Club PO Box 17240 Portland OR 97217-0240 www.thewebfooters.com Oregon City: The First Territorial Capital West of the Rockies Oregon City in 1845 Established in 1829, Oregon City, which was the first city west of the Rockies, was incorporated in 1844. Oregon City played a significant role in the early history of the Oregon Country when Dr. John McLoughlin, representing the Hudson’s Bay Company, established the town near the confluence of the Clackamas River with the Willamette River to take advantage of the power of Willamette Falls to run a lumber mill. This area became a landing-place for fur traders and missionaries. During the 1840s and 1850s it was the destination for those wanting to file land claims after traveling the Oregon Trail as they arrived at the last stop on the trail. The Willamette forms the boundary between Oregon City and West Linn; the Clackamas serves as the boundary between Oregon City and Gladstone. Prior to Euro-American settlement, the area where Oregon City is located was a focal point for fishing and trade among the Native Americans and home to the Clowwewalla (also known as the Charcowah) and the Cashhooks Indians (of the Upper Chinookan Linguistic group) and the Molalla Indians (of the Waiilatpuan Linguistic family). The nearby Clackamas Indians, also of the Upper Chinookan Linguistic group, located their villages along the Clackamas River. 2 Smallpox, cholera and other Euro-American diseases introduced by early explorers decimated the tribes. -
