I composed of 40 wagons, started for
Oregon, in which territory the gov-

of land to every settler. The hoik- j
naps settled 100 miles south of Ore-

The trip across the plains was
fraught with danger antl troops t f
soldiers were assigned to guard the
emigrants from attack by hostile In-
dians. Mrs. Belknap says that
scores of shots #woro exchanged
\daily, but few were injured. When
the party reached the Oregon bor-

and there again divided, 10 wagons
going to a point 100 miles south -f

Mr. and Mrs. Belknap moved to j

settled in the Palouse country, 40!
miles south of Sokane, which then
had a population of 250 and one
