  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Flags Author: Hall, Bonnie Year: 1975 Iris tenax. Tough-threaded Iris, Purple Iris, or Flag. This showy little wild iris, occurring in many shades of purple, is common in neglected fields and roadsides in the Willamette Valley in early spring. It was introduced into the formal world of botany by that intrepid Scot, David Douglas, the exploring naturalist whose name id commemorated in the Douglas-fir. Douglas made the harrowing voyage to northwest America in 1824 under protection of the Hudson's Bay Company, to collect specimens for the Horticultural Society of London. He found this iris "a common plant in North California, and along the coast of New Georgia, in dry soils or open parts of woods, flowering in April and May." From Material sent by Douglas, John Lindley, Professor of Botany in the University of London, wrote the original description in 1829: "A plant forming close tufts of rigid, erect, linear-ensiform, evergreen, tough leaves, which in wild specimens are rather shorter than the flowers. Stem erect, a foot or rather more high, angular, leafy, clothed at the base with remains of the leaves, as in Allium Victorialis. Ovarium on a long stalk, not enclosed within the floral leaves, somewhat 3-cornered. Flowers about the size of Iris virginica, sessile on the ovarium, dark purple, veiny; the outer petals obovate, acuminate, spreading, beardless; the inner obovate, rounded, erect, shorter than the others. Stigmas 2-lobed, short." Iris, the Greek word for rainbow, was applied to this genus for its variety of color. The Latin species name tenax (tenacious) derives from these observations made by Douglas on uses of the plant: "The native tribes about Aguilar (Umpqua) river...find this plant very serviceable for many purposes: from the veins of the leaves fine cord is made, which is converted into fishing nets; and from its buoyancy, great strength, and durability, it suits this purpose admirable. It is also made into snares for deer and bears; and a good idea may be formed of its strength, when a snare, not thicker than a 16-thread line, is sufficient to strangle Cervus Alces, the Great Stag of California, one of the most powerful animals of its tribe. The cordage is also manufactured into bags and other articles." Quotations are taken from Edward's Botanical Register of 1829.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Monument to Hudson Year: 1900 On a high point of land in the northern part of the City, overlooking the Hudson River there stands a beautiful monument erected to the memory of Henry Hudson. It is a marble column in the Doric pattern, rising to a height of 100 feet. Eventually it is to bear on its top a statue of Hudson himself. The monument was erected on Spuyten Duyvil hill in 1909 during the Hudson-Fulton celebration to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the voyage of the Half Moon up the Hudson and the 100th anniversary of the first voyage of Robert Fulton's steamer Clermont up the river in 1807, marking the beginning of steam navigation. The spot is said by some to mark the scene of a fight between Hudson's men and the Indians. However that may be, it is undoubtedly near an old Indian village, for there are still large heaps of shells, marking the scene of many a primitive Sherry, Churchill, or Delmonico feast. Spaces are left on the monument for explanatory tablets, but at present there is nothing to tell the visitor who happens upon it what it is. It stands out in a little open, park-like spot, surrounded by some of the most beautiful secluded homes of New York's millionaires. Of the man Hudson we know little. "We see him first on the deck of his little ninety-ton craft. He goes out of our view in a crazy boat manned by seven sick sailors, cast adrift in the Arctic seas to perish miserably, the victim of a cruel mutiny." He probably died feeling that his life had been a failure--that he had accomplished nothing; yet as direct results of his work we have the great Spitzenbergen whale fisheries, the Hudson Bay Trading Company, and he brought the Dutch to Manhattan Island. It was under the Dutch West India Company's charter that New York City was established. Manhattan Island, consisting of about 19 1/2 square miles was purchased from the Indians in 1626 for a handful of trinkets whose value was about $24.00. Now this same land at the lower end of the island is worth from $200 to $600 a square foot and office space rents at from $1 to $40 a square foot. The land value of the whole 19 square miles is $4,100,000,000 exclusive of the area occupied by streets, and the total value of the property as it stands with buildings and improvements is $6,250,000,000. The island has 2,276,778 inhabitants. It is about 2 miles wide at its widest part and 13 miles long.
