SPEAKER CANNON'S CASH PLAN.

There is that tone of earnestness
Improvement movement that promises
Ritual tangible results The assemblage
of representative men from all sections
of the country, now in consultation at
Washington, is characterized by an
unanimity of purpose that is noticeable
in few deliberative bodies of it's size,
or where the subject to be considered
is of such scope and Importance. An
unusual feature also is the absence of
conflicting opinion as to the methods
by which this inland waterway i'm
provement is TO be brought about. Sec
uonal interests appear not to have
created anything like sectional differ
ences of opinion as to the main issue.
The entire matter is approached in a
businesslike spirit, in which practical
results are sought to be obtained and
by the enarest and most expedient
route.

FIRST WAGON
INTO OREGON
WHITMAN PLOTTED IMMIGRANTS
OF 1843 OVER THE FAMOUS
BLUE MOUNTAINS.

Sixty-four years ago this month,
December 1S43, what is known as the
Immigration of 1S4S," consisting of
about SIS men, women and children
and 1000 head of cattle, rolled down
the west slope of the Blue mountains
into what is now Umatilia county or
its way to the Willamette valley.
That was the first great immigra-
tioT. of settlers into the territory of Or
con and it had been induced to come
by the entrea.ies of Marcus Whitman,
whose winter ride to Washington
aroused the country to the magnitude
and worth of Oregon.
The immigration of 1S43" brought
cattle to Oregon and Bancroft tells
many interesting incidents Of the trip
across the wilderness. At Fort Hall,
Idaho, discussion arose as to whether
they should abandon their wagons and
come on to Oregon by pack animals.
Whitman was there acting as guide
and his persistent urging induced them
to come by wagon, says the East Ore
gonian.
Peter Remeau, French Canadian.
who was then at Fort Hall, helped
Whitman make a map of the route

Walla river and Whitman piloted the
company westward Later Remeau
lcame to Union county and located at
a magnificent spring five miles east of
Union on what Is to this day known
as Remeau fat, on which, as a boy, the
ditor Of the East Oregonian has herd

Up the Bed of Burnt River.
When the party reached Burnt
river the rocks filed the narrow can
iyon and it was necessary to travel in
tee bed of the river, the water being
low, for almost 20 miles All along
Burnt river today are peach orchards,
alfalfa fields and gardens where the
weary immigrants toiled in the rocky
river bed, coming west.

Immigrants Frightened.

When the Blue mountains were
reached a snowstorm was beating in
the faces of the immigrants and many
were in favor of stopping in Grand
Ronde rather than face the perilous
mountains in winter, but after a long
discussion it was decided to brave the
mountains, although there was but a
trail reading through the forests.
