Oregon Trail and
Neehes Pass
Dramatic Mountain Feat
Is Recalled
Tseoms Fits Into tooth
Anniversary Celebration
PROPOSAL of Walter Pierce
1 one of the Oregon represen-
tatives In congress. for an Ore
gon Trail stamp to be issued in
1913. hundredth anniversary Of
the first big westward migration
over that historic trail, has
started a lot of reminiscing.
Among others it has revived the
memory of long-eontinued ef-
forts to build a highway along
the route followed by the first
Oregon Trail party coming over
the mountains direct to Puget
Sound at Tacoma.
The original Naches pass
highway was laid out because II
followed a water grade on both
sides Of the pass-up the Ameri-
can river from the east and
down the west side with the
Greenwater river. There was
some rough country on both
sides Of Naches pass but moth
ing that could not have been
overcome by the engineering
knowledge Of a hundred years
ago. Worse problems are easily
disposed Of now.
There are several reasons why
the highway was not built
through Naches pass. Principal
reason was the shorter distance
to Tacoma. Competition for In
land Empire business and Ia
coma lethargy combined to make
one effective stopper and pro-
mote better roads to other tide
water ports.
Then there was that matter of
opening more concessions In Raj
nier National park and q So
called Naches pass highway
made a detour to Chinook pass
and n new entrance to Yakima
park. That added another to
the good reasons why the Puget
Sound-to-Inland Empire high
way should not be built.
History of westward migra-
ton has no more spectacular or
dramatic incidents than those
of the Oregon Trail. First big
movement over the trail was the
wagon train of 1000 persons
which left the Missouri river In
the spring Of 1S4s for Califor-
mia and "the Oregon country"
as the entire country was called.
When the train reached Fort
Hall in Idaho, DR.. John Nc
Laughlin, Hudson's Bay company
representative at Vancouver,
Wash, sent word to DR.. w. F.
Tolmie at Fort Nisqually, say
ing "a thousand immigrants
have passed Fort Hall and the
boundary line is not yet settled. "
Settlers were coming too fast to
please the Hudson's Bay people.
