J E Khlmsy Henry Fox Jr -
Secretary Chairman
Even tho dear good people themselves
would be surprised if fhoy could really
realize how little they have to say in the
average run of political affairs nomina
tions especially
The announced candidacy of Hon W
E Andrews for the United States sena
torship is meeting with prompt and
hearty response from the western part
of tho state especially and indeod from
all over the state A man of tho finest
ability and with a record that any man
may envy he is a particularly desirable
candidate for the position
It is immensely amusing to observe
how many candidates for the guberna
torial nomination heard the other fellows
call Harrison Kobertson et cetera
were each and all misled Mickey was
the only one who had a bona fide call
The strange thing about the matter is
that the other fellows failed to note
tho facts sooner They were just as
evident as the sun at noonday It never
ought to be possible to chisel a man
out of a deserved renomination just be
cause he is too good

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
Tho Century magazine for April contains an
articlo entitled Tho Fights of the Fur Com
panies which dealing as it docs with ono of
tho most romnntic periods of Amorican history
is of more than ordinary interest It contains a
brief account not only of Astoria which was
mentioned a few weeks ago but ofothor ven
tures in what was then tho wilderness Tho
story of tho relentless warfare waged for years
by tho employes of thodifferentcompnniesupon
one another is ono of absorbing interest
Tho Spaniards always foremost in the field of
adventure were the first to witness tho marvels
of tho unknown west In tho early part of lfc07
Manuol Lisa a Spaniard residing in St Louis
fitted out an expedition thnt made its way up
tho Missouri and Yellowstone rivers to tho
mouth of tho Big Horn Military discipline was
maintained among tho men Scouts reconnpit
ored ahead of tho main body of adventurers At
night camps were established and sentinels wore
posted A deserter was shot down without trial
as are deserters from an army Tho route lay
through a country populous with savages and
the way was besot with almost insuperable dif
ficulties and dangers ThcTparty returned after
establishing a fort among the mountains richly
laden with furs and tho adventure resulted in
the organization of the Missouri Fur Company
which sent yearly expeditious into tho interior
for many years
Lisas venture anti dated Astoria which was
set on foot in 1811 The former was commer
cially buccessful and continued to carry on the
traffic until tho fur bearing animals wore prac
tically exterminated Astoria ended in disaster
duo partially to inexperience and mismanage
ment though the ojposition of tho Northwest
company had as much to do with its failure as
any other cause Jn thoso dys the ownership
of the country now included within tho states
of Oregon and Washington was disputed being
claimed by both Great Britian and tho United
States The Northwest company claimed ex
clusive privileges in tho territoryand eventually
captured Astoria ovor which the British flag
was raised to replace tho stars and stripes
which Aster had planted there Those were
days in which there was no law in tho wilder
ness Tho few white inhabitants of the region
west of tho Mississippi recognized no sovereign
authority save tho might of arms More savage
than tho savages Englishmen and Americans
fell upon ono another and killed and robbed
with impunity Tho furs that had been gath
ered for Astor amounting in value to more than
a million dollars were taken by the Canadians
carried off to the Canadian possessions and
oluding the American men of war stationed in
the great lakes to intercept them were trans
ported to Montreal
The conflicts among the companies were
armed wars in which hundreds of lives were lost
and thousands even millions of dollars worth of
property were stolen and destroyed Not only
did the white men fight the Indians but the
white employes of the different companies
fought ono another and tho battles that were
won and lost wers worthy of tho days of chival
ry In lbl t foreign companies were lorbitl
den to traffic south of tho Canadian line but
that did not deter the Hudsons Bay company
from sending their men as far as the Missouri
river Tho two great Canadian companies tho
Northwest and the Hudsons Bay waged war
upon each other until both were on tho verge of
ruin when a compromise and consolidation was
effected that gave tho amalgamated company a
monopoly of tho fur trado in tho British posses
sions As long as the game was worth fighting
over tho American and Hudsons Bay compan
ies continued tho conflict oa American soil The
story of tho warfare reads like a chapter from
the chronicles of the border wars of Scotland
