For several years after the failure of the Astoria settlement the Oregon country waa In the hands of the Hudson Bay trappers, and we have no roc ord of an exploiatlon or a settlement by an American. In 1884 two expedit- ions made their way through the Snake river valley, one headed by the dashing Captain Bennevllle, on adventure bent, and the other by that Bostonian, Nathaniel Wyeth, who arose to make an American country out of the Oregon territory. Bonneville passed down the Snake to the Hudson Bay post at Walla Walla and soon returned. Wyeth established Fort Hall, the 8mt permanent settlement In Idaho, and here, on July 27, 1834, Jackson the Methodist missionary, preached the first sermon ever heard west of the Rockies. Wyeth led hie expedition westward the lava through desert, and on August 15, 1834. reached the Boise valley.

We are glad to know that they did not fool all the senators, especially Senators Bailey of Texas and Clay of Georgia, with that poor, flimsy excuse of a prohibition clause, and when the prohibition was to be extended over the entire state of Oklahoma ror twenty-one years, still those honest legal lights of the senate were not fooled by the whisky wolf parading In ii prohibition garb. No. indeed. They could penetrate the corrupt scheme to git the Indians anil their land Into tne whisky union. They never once voted against prohibition, as has often been stilted since congress adjourned. Those who voted against the amendments were not voting against prohibition, hut against the unlawful union of Indian Territory with Oklahoma, which would have violated the sacred promises and treaty pledges with the five civilized tribes, guaranteeing them a separate prohibition state, and that the lines of no existing state or territory should ever be extended over the land now belonging to the civilized In- dians. These treaties also agree that no intoxicants of any kind or quality should ever be sold, bartered, given away or Introduced within the limits of what is now Indian Territory. These honorable senators, who have been unjustly censured, were fighting for principle, honor and the upholding of the laws and treaties whereby the United States gained an empire for a little western wilderness.

All furniture was oi aood. Eien the nubility had no glass in tin- - windows during this time. Cleanliness was not a characteristic of the people, and Thomas S Bechet was considered more than necessarily nice because he had tho floor of libs house strewn with freah straw each day. The rlc-in the middle ages concealed a want of cleanliness in their homes and persons under a profusion of costly scents, and to swarm with vermin was no disgrace. When Erasmus visited Englaqd in the reign of Henry VIII. he complained bitterly of the nastiness of the people and attributed the frequent plagues to this cause. lie said: The floors are commonly of clay, strewed with rushes, under which lie unmolested a collection of beer, grease, fragments of bones, spittle and excrement of cats and dogs, and of everything which Is nauseous." The densest Ignorance prevailed among the masses. Investigation has led to the conclusion that the average duration of human life at that period was not half what It is at the present day. Bad food and want of cleanliness swept away the people of the middle ages by ravages upon their health that the limited kill of the time could not resist. A historian of ' hat time states that there were no lass than twenty thousand leper hospitals In Europe.
