An agent of the conspirators named William Walker, who had already, with a few followers, invaded the Mexican state of Sonora from California and been repulsed, now appeared on the scene in connection with Kinney, who invited him to assist in improving the lands and developing the mineral resources of his grant on Lake Nicaragua. For that purpose, ostensibly, Walker left San Francisco with 300 men, and arrived on the coast of Nicaragua on June 27, 1855. On the following day he cast off all disguise and attempted to capture the town of Rivas, under an impression that a revolutionary faction there would join him in his scheme of conquest. He was mistaken. He had been joined on his march by 150 Central Americans under General Castellon, but when these saw the Nicaraguan forces coming against them, they deserted Walker. The latter and his followers fled to the coast a

also, to every man and his wife who should settle on such land between Dec. 1, 1850, and Dec. 1, 1853, 160 acres of land each. Under this law 8,000 claims were registered in Oregon. Settlers in Oregon and in Washington Territory, in 1855, suffered much from Indians, who went in bands to murder and plunder the white people. The savages were so well organized at one time that it was thought the white settlers would be compelled to abandon the country. Major-General Wool, stationed at San Francisco, went to Portland, Ore., and there organized a campaign against the Indians. The latter had formed a powerful combination, but Wool brought hostilities to a close during the summer of 1856. The bad conduct of Indian agents, and possibly encouragement given the Indians by employes of the Hudson Bay Company, were the chief causes of the trouble. In 1841 the first attempt to organize a government was made. In 1843 an executive and legislative committee was established; and in 1845 the

Work was begun on the railway in 1863, by two companies—the Central Pacific, proceeding from California and working eastward, and the Union Pacific, working westward. The road was completed in 1869, when a continuous line of railroad communication between the Atlantic One of the first trains on the Pacific Railroad. and Pacific oceans was perfected. The entire length of the road, exclusive of its branches, is about 2,000 miles.

The route from New York to San Francisco, by way of Chicago and Omaha, is travelled in six or seven days, the distance being about 3,400 miles.
