The vessel was seen far at 3ea from the Indian village known as Oum-Mis, near what is shown on the chart 4s '""Hole-in-the-Wall," On first sighting her the Indians thought it was an enormous bird, but when she came nearer and they eould see people on 4 board. i seemed to be "some wonderful and very large gE Rn "ry canoe come back from the 'land of the dead with: their by- fone chiefs. The colonization of the Pacific Coast dates back four hundred years from the day when Balboa first gazed on this Western Sea, but it was not till 1769 just ten years after Wolfe eaptured Quebee and France handed over her Empire in North America to the British---that any serious movement was meade 'by Spain towards the Northern Pacific Coast.

"The "Discovery" had sailed on the Pacific on an earlier voyage. This was in 1778 with the redoubtable Captain Cook in command under instructions from the British Admiralty to search for the North West passage--u passage for which the expedition of the Hudson's Bay Company had vainly explored {. rom the Atlantic side, The Gospel of Faith which had heralded this settlement of the Pacific Slope {yielded place the farther North it went to the trade in furs, for Juan Perez, Captain Cook and Commander Vancouver found the Indians willing to barter the precious skins of the Farther North for goods from the Old World.: Se teo it was the fur traders who blazed the trail over the Canadian Rockies for the joverland route of the Pacific. Alexander Mackenzie, for the North West Company of fur traders, reached ithe Pacific on July 20, 1793, at a time when Captain Vaneouver was cruising on hat self same coast, He found the natives hostile, owing, as he said, to having h, (been fired at by Vancouver. David Thompson, also sent by the North West Company, crossed the Cana- dian Roekies by the Howse Pass and discovered the Columbia River. Simon Fraser, another emissary of the Nor' Westers, shot the rapids of the i [Fraser River to reach the shores of the Pacific in 1806. John Jacob Astor, a German merchant of New York, organized the Pacific | [Fur Company in 1810. The expedition, which founded Astoria, March 22, 1811, 'had hardly driven the last pallisade when the news came that the North West Company was erecting a fort at Spokane. The Canadian traders eventually jbought out the Pacific Fur Company in 1813. In 1820 the'Nort West Company amalgamated with the Hudson's Bay Company. The fort at Astoria was trans- ferred 'to Fort Vancouver, near the present Portland, six miles above the e Willamette with the Columbia River, Neighboring | T put under cultivation to supply food for the fur traders at Alaska.

The fur trader is now overshadowed by the tourists whe pour in eountiess thousands through the precipitous passes of the titanie snow-capped Canadian Rockiés. Past the glaciers where 'grey-green cliffs overshadow the transcontinental train, they speed to the palm trees of Los Angeles, lingering perhaps at the Lakes in the Clouds, six thousand feet above the sea, before they bathe their eyes on the azure bay of San Francisco or gaze into the submarine depths of the Pacific through the glass bottomed boats of Catalina Island.
