East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-05-05

A great many peOpiS, SSpSSieliiy
strangers, wonder what is the origin
of the term finland Empire" as ap-
piled to eastern oregon and Washing
ton.
In the year 1S4S, DR.. George At
kinson of Portland who was the first
home missionary of the Congregation
al church in Oregon. arrived in Ore
gon City. From the beginning, he
took a lively interest in the material
as well as the spiritual and educa-
tional development Of the oregon
country. He later called eastern Ore
gon. washington and parts of Idaho
and Montana the finland Empire"
says an exchange.
Was a Practical Man.
DR.. Atkinson was raised on farm.
He understood the practical side Of
agriculture and frequently wrote and
spoke upon the subject. AS early as
1857, he made a trip to Walla Walla
and beyond, securing samples Of soils
from the hills thereabouts. In the
early SOS, he was in the Big Bend
country, in the vicinity Of the pres
ent site Of the city of Colfax, and Sc
cured samples of soils there. He was
familiar with the science of chem
istry and analyzed the soils obtained
finding they possessed all the ele-
ments necessary to the successful pro-
duction Of wheat He did the same
thing in respect to the numerous por-
tions of Wasco county, and also across
the river in Klickitat county, Wash
ington.
Made Soil Analysis.
He then secured samples Of soils,
from different portions Of Europe, in
localities where whea growing was
the most successful and compared
the analysis of those soils with those
at home and in this way became firm
ly convinced that 1t was only ques-
ton of time when the territory under
consideration would become a great
wheat-growing region and that stock
raising, to which 1t was then almost
solely devoted, would have to be car
ried on In very much reduced limits.
Foresaw Soil Possibilities.
Furthermore, he stoutly maintained
that wherever bunch grass would
grow. the proper cultivation Of the
soil would, in a large measure, assist
in securing the necessary moisture.
DR.. Atkinson, after studying this re-
gion thoroughly, then referred to 1t as
great inland empire" and It has
been called the finland Empire" ever
since and Dr. Atkinson's ideas Of this
country have proven correct. The
