COLLECTING PORTRAITS OF WASHINGTON'S
GOVERNORS.
On ~C\'cral occasions the Legislature of the Slate of "'3sh-
ill~ol1 by resolution has suggested the collection of the portraits
of the gentlemen who ha'"c .sern::d the territory or state as
Chief Exccuti'"c. the'c portraits to remain in the capitol build-
ing. This is in conformity with the custom followed in most of the
states of the nnion of prcsen'ing the portraits of the governors.
<Ind is in line with the practice of the national gO\'crnll1{'llt of
prcscn'ing- the portraits of the presidents and of the cabinet
officers in their sllcccssioll~ The' work of collecting these por-
trait!' in some of the states was begun only in recent years and the
collections were completed only with considerable difficulty
and at considerable expense. 1t is c\nil1cntl.v fit and proper
that each statc sholiid Own such a collection, which is in fact
part of thc hi:"ttJry of the C0111111011\\,('alth. Tile ~tlldent of his-

clIre :'OlllL' portT!ait-cither photograph Of cng-ra\'ing-at this
time, for the ta!"k of lllakill.~· the collection would grow more
difficult year by year. The result of my efforts in lhi:-: tlirec-
lion ha~ been that I ha\-c collected ail but one of the portraits_
The mi!'sing one is that of Go\-crnor R. D. Gholson, who re-
mained in the territon- onlv a \'car and returned to his old. - -
home in Paducah. Kentucky, S0111(' months before his retire-
ment. 1 am in hope of s:::cllring- this missing portrait before the
assembling' of the leg-is\aturc in January, 1907.
The portraits \ ha\'c secured 11a\"c all been framed and arc
now hanging in lIly office, They arc all pronounced excellent
likenesses, and in the event that at !"omc future time tile legis-
lature determines to ha\'e them put in more permanent form, as
is the practice in some other gtates, the artist will ha\-c an au-
thentic base upon which to work.
Beginning with the portrait of GO\'erllor Salo111on. the sec-
ond picture secured was that of Governor 1\l'a1'shal F. ~Ioore,
which was'presented by :\I1's. R, G. O'Brien. of Olympia. Gov-
ernor l\loore was a general officer of the 'L'nion .\rm:- during
the Ci\'il \\'ar. His remaills are buried in the Olympia ccmc-

late Go'"ernor \\"illiam Pickering. presented 3n enlarged copy
of 3n old daguerreotype, the only portrait of Governor Picker-
ing known to be in existence. Mrs. :\Iayficld relates the story
f the manner in which this original portrait was secured in
an interesting fashion:
"The old home was burned at one time and the picture of my
grandmother was destroyed among other keepsakes Grandpa had
cherished. He felt the loss of these pictures so keenly that he
could never be induced to have one taken of himself as much
as the family lIsed to urge it. But one day as he was talking to
3n old friend of his who \Vas a photographer by the name of
Harwick, :\Ir. Harwick suddenly caught the opportunity. say-
ing: IXOW, Governor, sit still; I am going to take your picture.'
There was no chance given Grandpa to even brush his hair or
arrange his necktie. So that accounts for the careless appear-
ance. If 1\fr. Harwick had not used strategy ..\t that time there
would have been no picture in existence. 'The family \\ere vcry
grateful to :\fr.Harwick for seizing the opponunity while
Grandpa was in his gallery talking- to him, for he could 11~,'er
be induced to 'sit for his picture:'·
The portrait of Governor \\'allace W3:" secured thruugh ~Ir:

the head chief of the Clicatats has been already among the Naches

at Green River \:vith a small body guard tolerably well armed,
and that "Joe" is to go among the Nisqually Indians, but for
what purpose he does not know. He further says, "If the Steil-

THE WHITMAN MONUMENT.
The following statement regarding the deficiency on the vVhit-
man monument, and the present effort to pay it, has been sent
to all the Congregational churches in the State of Washington.
It is hoped that those who love the history of the State and who
are interested in the achievements, as well as the sufferings of
the pioneers, will lend a hand toward this desirable result:
Inspired by a most pathetic appeal made by one of four Nez
Perce Indians who had been sent across the western half of the
continent to St. Louis to learn of the whit~ man's God and the
book of heaven, Dr. Marcus Whitman and Rev. H. H. Spauld-
ing, with their wives, accompanied by a single man by the name
of VlT m. H. Gray, came in r836 from the Atlantic Coast to what
was then known as Oregon to teach the Indians the way of life.
Two years later a second delegation, consisting of Rev.
Cushing Eells, Rev. Elkanah Walker and Rev. A. B. Smith, with
their wives, also accompanied by Wm. H. Gray and his wife, who
had gone East the previous year and married, made the same
journey for the same purpose. Three mission stations were
established, one at Walla Walla, occupied by Dr. vVhitman and
Mr. Gray; one among the Nez Perce Indians, where Mr. Spauld-
ing and Mr. Smith labored, and the third among the Spokane
Indians, where Messrs. \\Talker and Eells were located. By the.
year r842 two families had dropped out. Mr. Smith, on account
jf ill health of himself or wife, returned East, and Mr. Gray
moved to the vVillamette Valley, where he settled. The other
four families continued to labor faithfully, earnestly, and to a
certain extent successfully for the good of the Indians, until the
29th of November, r847, when Dr. VlThitman and wife and a
dozen others were ruthle~sly murdered by the Cayuse Indians,
among whom they were living.
Succeeding hostilities made it unsafe for the other mission-
aries to remain longer in the country, the mission was broken
up, and the work abandoned. For twelve years it was considered
unsafe for Americans to live east of the Cascade Mountains.
Of the results of their work, I would say in passing, that
twenty-five years after they left their fields there were found to
be five hundred Christian Indians living consistent and devoted
lives, and a few years later a Bible school was established among
the Nez Perce Indians from which scores of young men have
been sent out to preach to their own people and other surround-
ing tribes.
In the year r859 Rev. Cushing Eells conceived the idea of
establishinrr a Christian school as a rnonument to the memory
of the first'"Christian martyrs of the Northwest Coast. This has
culminated in what is now Whitman College.
/\. few years later \iVm. H. Gray conceived the idea of having
a monument of granite erected to mark the spot where they fell.
(24)
The Whitman Monument 25
During the seventies he collected various sums of money for
this purpose, which were deposited in one of the banks in Port-
land. Some time in the eighties he died, leaving this object of
his life only partially completed.
Early in the year 1897 a meeting was held in the First Pres-
byterian Church of Portland, Oregon, to take steps to hold a
sclitahle celebration at the half century mark of their death, and
also to have erected the monument contemplated by Mr. Gray.
A joint committee was appointed, of three in Portland and three
in \Valla "Valla, and the work of securing a title to the land, of
purchasing the stone, and arranging for the celebration was
apportioned among the several members of the committee. The
land was secured, a contract for the stone was made, it was
delivered and set up, and the ser"ices were held. The contract
price for the stone work was $2,250. What Mr. Gray had col-
lected, with accrued interest, then amounted to about $800; other
collections were made, current expenses were met, but only
enough was secured to make a payment of $1,150 on the contract
for the stone work, leaving a balance of $1,100 still due.
Shortly after this, the cha'irman of the committee who made
the contract, and who seems to have been its financier, died.
leaying the $1,100 still unpaid. The work of raising the money
to pay this deficiency languished, and then died also.
The contract was so made that there could be no lein on the
li10nUment, the claim has been outlawed, and there is no legal
obligation on the part of anyone to pay this sum, but for ten
years now this deficiency has existed, a debt of honor, but from
whom?
A year ago, when this association met in \¥alla vValla, an
excursion was taken to the grounds, suitable exercises were held,
and the fact of the aforementioned deficiency became generally
known and was freely discussed. The suggestion was made that
the association invite the Presbyterians to unite with them in an
effort to raise the money to wipe off this indebtedness. For what
seemed good and sufficient reasons, however, it was thought
better that the Presbyterians take the initiative, consequently no
action was taken. I would here say by way of explanation, that
at the time the mission existed it was supported by the American
Board, which then comprised the Congregational, Presbyterian
and Dutch Reformed denominations. Dr. Whitman being a
Presbyterian, the obligation to do honor to the sainted dead was
mntual.
A few weeks later the Presbyterian Synod met in Walla
\¥alIa, at which time an informal meeting of the friends of the
,neasure from both deqominations was held, at which time a
committee was appointed, composed of Rev. James C. Reid.
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Walla Walla chair-
man; Rev. Austin Rice, pastor of the First Congreaation Church
of \¥alla Walla, and President S. B. L. Penrost of Whitman
College. To this committee the name of Edwin Eells of Tacoma
was subsequently added. .
26 Edwin Eells
This committee has had seyeral meetings and conferences,
the last being in Seattle last month, at which Dr. Matthews,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Seattle, was present.
It was agreed to il1Yite other leading and influential men in the
principal cities of the State to assist, and also to refer the matter
to the State organizations of the two denominations at their
annual meeting this year.
At a later conference of the Executive Committee at ,Valla
\Valla, it was agreed to ask each denomination to try to raise
the minimum sum of $550.00 and to have this done before the
Sixteenth Anniversary of the massacre, which will be next X 0-
vember, and then to hold commemorative exercises with the
monument free from debt.
:i\fessrs. Rice and Eells are here to present this matter to the
association, and ask for endorsement and such other action as
shall seem to them wise and best. Edwin Eells, of 1020 Nortb
TStreet, Tacoma, has been selected as the treasurer of the com-
mittee, to whom any moneys may be. sent to apply on this in-
debtedness.
,Ve respectfully submit this matter to your careful considera-
lion.
A STIN RICE,
EDWIN EELLS,
Committee.
The Congregational Association, which met at Bellingham,
September 17 to 19, unanimously adopted the following resoln-
tion by a rising vote:
(',Ve heartily commend the holding of an appropriate com-
memoration of the sixtieth anniyersary of the ,Vhitman :.\Iassa-
cre at the scene of this event in our heroic past, on November
29 next.
",Ve believe this should have a more than local obsen-ance,
and therefore recommend that Sunday, October 27, be observed
in every Congregational Church in the State as ,iVhitman Day,
and that on that day every church in the State shall share in the
privilege of clearing off the indebtedness remaining on the noble
monument which marks this hallowed spot, and that eyery
church be represented at this anniversary observance."
The following letter has been sent to all the Presbyterian
.:hurches in the State of ,Yashington:
,Yalla ,Valla, ,Yashington, Oct. 16, 1907.
Dear Sir and Brother:
'At the recent meeting of the Synod of ,Vashington, in the
Citv of Tacoma, October 3-5, it was ordered that, in view of
the- fact that Marcus ,iVhitman was a ruling elder in the Pres-
byterian Church, and as such was sent as a missionary to the
] ndians of the Northwest, and that there is now an indebtedness
of $1,100.00 on the monument erected to his memory about ten
The Whitman Jt[onument 27
ye:lrs since; and in view of the further fact that the Congrega-
tional Association of the State of ,Vashington has taken steps to
raise one-half of the said indebtedness before the sixtieth anni-
versary of the massacre, November 29, 1907, the churches withiil
the bounds of the said synod be requested to take an offering
on Sabbath, October 27. or as soon thereafter as possible, to be
applied toward liquidating the remainder of the said indebted-
ness. By further order of the synod, the undersig.ned was ap-
pointed to bring this matter before all of the ministers in charge
of congregations within the bounds of the said synod.
To aid you in intelligently presenting the cause to your peo-
ple, I enclose herewith a brief historical resume, which I believe
to be in the main authentic.
In order to encourage your people in this matter and, at the
same time, to awaken a more general interest in the work accom-
vli.shed by Marcus "Whitman, Spaulding and their associates, it
has been arranged to send to each congregation taking an offer-
ing, however great or small, a 14 x 16 photo of the statue of Mar-
cus ,Vhitman, which stands in front of the Witherspoon Build··
ing, our general office building in Philadelphia; this will be a
valuable acquisition to your collection of missionary exhibits and
i3 large enough to be framed and hang in your church parlors
cr lecture-room.
Please forward all offerings, as soon as possible after taking
'Same, to the treasurer, J\Ir. Edwin Eells, Tacoma, ,Vashington,
I020 North J Street. Also please notify the undersigned as to
the amount sent to Mr. Eells, that he may be able to know just
"'here we stand.
\Vhile our action in this matter is not prompted by any sense
of legal obligation, let us feel that our interest in this the first
Presbyterian martyr of this great Northwest is such that we
should not allow his memory to be longer clouded by this unfor-
tunate indebtedness. If every congregation to which this obliga-
tion is presented will only do something we will be enabled ere
the ides of November rolls round to wipe out the whole of this
debt and to plan for a celebration of the sixtieth anniversary
of the massacre of 1arcus Whitman free from all embarrassment.
Praying that the Lord may bless you ia the presentation of
tbis cause to your people and them in making a generous offer-
ing that would be honoring to Him, I am, most sincerely,
Yours in His name,
JAMES C. REID.
,Ve hope the Oregon churches of hoth denominations will
likewise respond to this appeal and that the entire debt \yill surely
be r('mo,-ed fr0111 the "'bitman monument before the arriyal of
~he sixtieth anniversary of his tragic death.

Honoring Doctor John McLoughlin's Memory.
Oregon City witnessed an important and interesting cere-
mony. culminating on Sunday, 6 October, 1907. The occasion
was the dedication there of the McLoughlin Institute, which
has grown out of the St. John's Parochial and High School.
Reverend Father A. HilIebrand is the spirit of the enterprise that
has brought this event to fruition. Oregon City was the last
home of 1\1cLoughlin, as it is also his burial place. Many dis-'
tinguished guests were present' on this occasion, not least of
whom was Mrs. M. L. Myrick, the favorite granddaughter of
:iVIcLoughlin. Archibishop Christie preached the sermon and
formally blessed and dedicated the institute. Hon. VV. D. Fen-
ton. President of the Oregon Historical SociEty, State Senator
Joseph E. Hedges, representing Governor Chamberlain, and
others, made addresses, but the principal address was made by
Frederick V. Holman, of Portland, who has recently published
a \'ery acceptable history of l\IcLoughlin. He calIs the good old
Doctor the "Father of Oregon," and there is now a general wil-
lingness to concede that affectionate title. An idea of Mr. Hol-
man's attitude toward his hero may be gathered from the closing
sentence of his address at Oregon City, as folIows:
"To this Noble Man, to this Great White Chief, to this Good
Old Doctor. to this Savior of the Oregon Pioneers, to this great
Humanitarian-the Father of Oregon--,-be honor and praise for
alI time."
