This one was prepared by Clive Troy, a member of the local Bicentennial committee. During the year 1852 the settlers north of the Columbia River began to feel the necessity for a division of the territory, and desired to be set aside from Oregon. Agitation along these lines resulted in a call for a convention to meet at Monticello, a settlement on the Cowlitz River, November 25, 1852. The result of this convention was that Congress was memorialized to create the Territory of Columbia out of that portion of Oregon Territory lying north and west of the Columbia River. Congress, however, overruled the petition in regard to the name, as it would probably conflict with the District of Columbia, and decided to honor the "Father of His Country," Washington. On March 2, 1853, President M//lard Fillmore signed the act which created the Territory of Washington out of that portion of Oregon Territory lying north and west of the Columbia River. x Quarrelsome policy No quarrel ought ever to be converted into a policy.

If you have some of these colorful plants, there are certain points you should keep in mind, Harold Van De Riet, County Extension Agent, said this week. During the Christmas season, when you want them to bloom their best, keep your poinsettias near a sunny window or other well-lighted area. Keep daytime temperatures between 60 and 70 degrees. At night, place the plant in a cooler room; 55 to 60 degrees is ideal. In order for your poinsettia to bloom fully, you should have been keeping it in complete darkness from between 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. daily starting at the end of September up until color begins to show (at least six to eight weeks). / The blooms should last for several months. In February or early March cut back the original stem of the plant to four-six inches in height, removing the old flower and one or two side branches. Continue to keep it in a sunny window and away from Christmas plant, mistletoe, are dangerously poisonot . University studies have shown this is untrue. A person might become ill by [] eating a large quantity of either, but this is an unlikely situation, as both plants have an extremely unpleasant taste. Year-rou d care for poinsettias includes: in the spring, remove some of the old soil from your poinsettia's pot and replace it with fresh garden soil. Repot the plant if it has outgrown its old pot. When night-time temperatures [] exceed 50 degrees, sink the _.. potted poinsettia in the ground in a slightly shaded part of the garden. Between JulY 15 and August 1, cut off the terminal portion of all shootS. These can be rooted in a mixture of half peat moss and half sand, and flowered for Christmas. 701 S.
