FRANCIS XAVIER MATTHIEU—A CITIZEN OF PORTLAND
The man whose vote to organize the Provisional Government of 1843, under the American flag, most probably gave the territory of Old Oregon to the United States instead of Great Britain. The monument to his left was erected as a memorial to the men who organized the Provisional Government, the names of the fifty-two men voting for organization being engraved thereon.
