MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
Historica, Lecture By J. WILDER 
FAIRBANKS ENJOYED. 
Opening night at the Manchester 
Brotherhood brought out an attend- 
ance. of 83 for the gathering which 
‘was held in the Manchester Baptist 
church vestry. The speaker, who was 
J. Wilder Fairbanks of Boston, de- 
livered an interesting and instructive 
stereopticon lecture on “A Ride for 
an Empire.” He told the story of the 
settlement and conquest of the north- 
west corner of the United States back 
in the days when the ownership of 
“Oregon Territory” was disputed be- 
tween. England and the United States. 
He gave credit for the saving of the 
great wealthy section, comprising the 
present states of Washington, Oregon 
and Idaho, to Marcus Whitman, a 
missionary sent out by the American 
Board from Boston to christianize the 
Indian tribes inhabiting the Columbia 
river valley. 
Mr. Fairbanks related interesting 
bits of history more or less connected 
with the final acquistion of the Ore- 
gon Territory. He referred to the 
Louisiana Purchase and the lack of 
definite boundaries of the territory 
purchased from Napoleon. There 
was -little interest in the newly ac- 
quired possessions by the people of 
the east and the encroachments of the 
Hudson Bay Co.’s men upon the land 
were not heeded. False information 
concerning the value of the land was. 
given to the American government 
and accepted without investigation. 
Whitman and Lovejoy, two mis- 
sionaries, and their wives set out on 
the voyage across the continent. They 
were the first to cross the Rockies by 
wagon, going through the famous 
Fremont pass, “discovered” six years 
later by Lieut. Fremont. After their 
services in the missionary field, dur- 
ing which they taught the Indians how © 
to till the soil and raise corps in the 
fertile land, the two men were warn-. 
ed by the attitude of the Hudson Bay 
trappers that England was about to 
seize the territory. Leaving their 
wives behind them they made their 
way back over the long trail to the ’ 
Rockies; then finding their passage . 
blocked they ‘made a detour of r1o00 
miles to the south and found another 
passage through which they made 
their way and eventually reached St. 
Louis where Lovejoy remained. 
Whitman proceeded to Washington 
where he succeeded in urging Presi- 
dent Tyler not to abbrogate the exist- 
ing treaty with England. His journey 
across the continent was made in the 
dead of winter and he was the first 
white man to accomplish the feat.
