Because of that great epic of the
sea, the Mutiny on the Bounty.
everyone in the northwest has
heard of the notorious Captain
Bligh.
Captain Bhgh remains one of
those explorers who ALMOST saw
our great state OF Washington.
Because Bligh served under the
immortal Captain James Cook on
Cooks first two voyages. during
which Cook visited Australia
But on Cooks last and tragic
voyage. Bligh was not aboard
so Cook alone came to our shores.
Two centuries had passed since
Drake immortalized himself as the
first man to see the green shores
of Washington. England was still
hot after colonies.
So Cook was sent out to explore
our coast and find. If possible. the
fabulous Northwest passage over
the top of the world.
In 177s-while guns roared and
flashed on the east coast ms the
revolution raged-Cook peacefully
sailed up the Pacific.
He saw what he thought was a
lovely harbor-but as he drew
near. he realized he had been fool
ed; that there was a low bar of
land across the opening.
That flattered me into think
ing I could land here" the dis

appointed captain, told his men
Very well; we'll call 1t Cape
F1sttery."
And so 1t il called today; 1t IL
now the northwest tip OF the con-
tinental United States.
Cook landed at Nootka, on Van
couver island. which the timid
Perez had sighted so many year,
before.
There Cook listed native words.
Sea captains for years used these
words in barter with the natives
and this queer language became
the famous Chinook jargon. used
throughout the Northwest for
generations.
But alas for the studious, brave
captain Like 10 many explorers,
his bravery led to his death.
Landing at the beautiful Ha-
waiian islands on his return to-
ward England and fame, he was
killed by natives.
He had failed to find the North
west passage; he had lost his life
but Captain Cook will be remem-
bered forever in Washington be-
cause he founded the Chinook Ian
guage which brought about peace
and understanding between the
white man and the red.
Next; Meares, the fight for
Washington.

Mr.. Borah Presents a Picture
John Bradford - Who Was

WILLIAM f. BORAH. one of the
great minds of the United
States senate and an independent
member of the progressive bloc,
dropped a hot one into the lap of
the upper house when that body
was discussing the relief appro-
priation. Mr.. Borah arrived too
late to take part in the final dis
cussion but obtained consent TO
insert in the record copy of an
editorial in Washington news
paper which he said he hoped
every member of congress would
read. II is addressed to the men,
bers of the senate, and because il
represents a rather startling pic
ture of the WPA, it is herewith
reproduced in part:
"On your way up Capitol Hill,
most of you drive past a NPA
project. Maybe several Did you
ever watch gang on a sewer job

And did you ever have the same
thought we've had. the thought
John Bradford had when a GRIM
inal passed him on the way to the
gallows.
There, but for the grace Of
God. goes John Bradford"
That man hacking away at the
ice-encrusted street might have
been you.
There aren't two kinds of
real Americans. Only one
kind. And how many Of them
feel so secure either In their
jobs or their resources rs to
dare murmur smugiy TO them
selves. That couldn't happen
10 me-. IL could. IL has.
''On WPA today are many men
who by slim margins missed sit
ting. If not in the United States

chambers: men who recently held
high posts-men whose names
were once known TO more thou

And there are others, perhaps
not so smart nor so well educated,
but they're Americans neverthe-

They want work.
They're proud Of the parks they

sewers they construct; proud of
the reclamation of swamp areas.
