Portland-Chicago, 1911. 3 vol. 681, 796, 830 pp. respectively.

Mostly biography. Doubt its accuracy.

Hines, Gustavus. Oregon and its Institutions. Comprising a Com- plete History of Willamette University.

Most complete story of Willamette University. Is accurate as to facts. Not so sure about motives. Hines had an active part in the story he is telling. He and Waller were too closely connected with the Oregon City Land Claim deal to speak frankly on it.

Hines, H. K. Missionary History of the Pacific Northwest. Pri- vately printed. Marsh Printing Co., Portland, Oregon, 1899. 510 pp.

Best story of Jason Lee and his work.

History of the Pacific Northwest. North Pacific History Co., Port- land, Oregon, 1889. 2 vol., 653 and 723 pp. respectively.

Chiefly biographical. Inaccurate. Elwood Evans, Editor (?). Homer, John B., Oregon. Gazette-Times Pub. Co., Corvallis, Ore- gon, 1919. 408 pp.

Outlines history of education briefly but concisely. A mod- est attempt, and a fairly successful, as a culture history. Not very accurate.

Leonard, E. A. History of the Baptists in Oregon. Baptist Min- isterial Conference, Portland, Oregon, Nov. 27, 1917. U. of O. Library, Oreg. Col.

Very little comparative value.

Odell, Mrs. Gen. William H. History of the University. Wil- lamette University catalogue, 1884.

Good brief account, chiefly taken from Gus. Hines' "Oregon Institutions" and "Ten Years in Oregon" by Lee (Daniel) and Frost.

O'Hara, Rev. Father Edwin V. DeSmet in the Oregon Country. Oregon Historical Quarterly, Sept., 1909. p. 244 et seq. Good account of early Catholic missionary work.
