HISTORY OF SPOKANE COUNTY.
CHAPTER I.
EARLY HISTORY OF WASHINGTON.
THIE OREGON QUESTION.
" Lost by adventurous Britishman, Won by bold American."
A brief sketch or resume of the "Oregon question"' seems appropriate in a history of any section of the territory included in that dis- cussion. Dr. Barrows calls it the "struggle for possession." No question has ever arisen, per- haps, that came so near precipitating a war be- tween Great Britain and the United States without the actual conflict of arms. It was a question that included all points of interna- tional diplomacy and negotiation between the United States and Great Britain regarding title to the Northwest country, and pertained espe- cially to the territory now included in the state of Washington, for the country north of the Columbia river was what Great Britain espe- cially coveted.
Prior to 1818 the Hudson's Bay Company, a powerful corporation, chartered by the British crown, Charles II, in 1670, invaded the Oregon territory, including what are now the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, with traders, hunters and trappers. Their pos- sessions were fortified with commercial and military establishments. Meanwhile a few per- 1
sons from the United States found their way into the territory, which led to the discussion as to the ownership of the country. Our great statesmen had very inadequate conceptions of the value and importance of the territory in- volved in the discussion .. This is evidenced: in their expressions.
The National Intelligencer in the early- forties published these words: "Of all the countries upon the face of the earth Ore- gon is one of the least favored by heaven .. It is almost as barren as Sahara, and quite as unhealthy as the Campagna of Italy." And Senator Dayton, of New Jersey, pro- ceeded to say, "God forbid that the time should ever come when a state on the shores of the: Pacific, with its interests and tendencies of trade all looking toward the Asiatic nations of the East, shall add its jarring claims to our already distracted and overburdened confeder- acy." Evidently the continental idea had not yet reached the senate of these United States.
Daniel Webster said: "What do we want with this vast worthless area, this region of savages and wild beasts, of des- erts, of shifting sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cactus and prairie dogs? To what use could we ever hope to put these great des-
