Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, 1915, Vol. 6 Turning now to the sources of the Columbia, an interesting contrast exists between the beginning of trade there with that on the upper Mis souri River across the Rocky Mountain range. Manual Lisa is the name prominently connected with the Missouri River at'that period; immediately following the return of the Lewis and Clark Expedition Lisa built a trad ing post on the Yellowstone River at themouth of the Big Horn and began to purchase furs for transport to St. Louis; that was during the summer of 1807. At the same time David Thompson, a partner offthe Northwest Company of Canada, was building an. Establishment at the head waters of the Columbia, from which he transported furs to the Rainy Lakes; and fort'william on Lake Superior. Manual Lisa had troubles With snags and Indians along the Missouri and was resourceful to overcome them. David Thompson experienced even greater difficulties in crossing the Rocky Mountains and descending the long course of the Saskatchewan River to Lake Winnipeg. David Thompson is one of the most remarkable figures connected with the history of the Columbia River; the record of his career written with his own hand is not only of great scientific value, but an ih spiration to any earnest student of the history of this Pacific Northwest. He has been described as the greatest land geographer the English race has ever produced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1: October, 1906 W'ashington is still a coast and river state. Excepting the broad plains about the head of the Cowlitz, Chehalis and Puyal lup rivers, and about the Palouse and Spokane. The pioneer has as yet but scattered settlements in the interior. On the Sound and Grays Harbor, on the Columbia and its numberless branches population still resides. It must be noted. How ever, that the railway, penetrating the territory inaccessible by steamers, has expanded the settled lands, especially east of the mountains, and widened the country about the few centers here tofore drained by the trails and packroads. It is along the shores and river banks that the elemental nomenclature of W'ashington must be studied; on the trail and the railroad the settler is plant ing new American and immigrant names, or those derived from the aborigines.

Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1: October, 1906; Issued Quarterly The geographical names in the United States are derived from two great sources: Indian and European. Among the first ex plorers and settlers the former dominated; with the second gen cration of colonists the European names began to dominate. These early colonists looked to their European homes and per sonages for Plymouth, Boston, Albemarle, St. Mary's, Ft. Chris tina, New Rochelle, New Orleans, St. Louis, Santa Fe; or else from their own languages derived names indicative of local con ditions or feelings: Providence, Philadelphia. \vhen these set tlements themselves began to send OH scions to the upper waters of the Atlantic streams or into the transallegheny country, new names were taken from a variety of sources; from the old Euro pean places and personages, from Greece, Rome, or from classical compositions, e. G. Louisville, Athens, Rome, Oxford, Gallipolis. The Indian names were taken from the local Indian designations, and today stand as monuments to the natives' haunts and homes and as milestones to their westward movement before the coming white man. As the white man came his names told of the fond recollections of his distant home but as he penetrated the wilder ness and the mountains, these recollections dim and finally fade, to be replaced from the new native home in the old Atlantic col onies. Yet the names scattered from the Alleghenies to the Pacific by the constant stream of colonizing immigrants tell of the nomenclatural geneology; the Swede, Italian and German, the Russian, Dutch and Pole, even in our own days repeat the christening of the cavalier and Puritan.

Excerpt from The Reveille, 1915, Vol. 18 During this college year the ownership of the college property passed wholly into the hands of the State. This makes the Maryland Agricultural College the only College in Maryland owned by the State, and should make the people of the State feel a particular pride and obligation to see it placed in the front rank of its class. Though the ownership has changed, may those charged with the manage ment of the institution never forget the scope of the work and ideals outlined by its founders. May the Maryland Agricultural College ever have for its purpose the training of men to live in Maryland a life of usefulness and power, to gain here a liveli hood sufficient for comfortable and generous living; men with power and grace to add to community life, those elements of intelligence and virtue which give a State stability and worth; men of large obligations to the world; men who will assume large duties and carry them to successful conclusion. This means that there must be an M. A. C. Stamp as unmistakable as the inscription on the coinage of the Nation. This institution may not equal others in the number of students, or in the value of its equipment, but it need stand second to none in the earnestness, devo tion, spirit and courage which put into the college work, and into life's work after leaving college. Greatness must not be confused with Size, or worth with Show. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
