'sWhat can we do with the
western coast?" asked Daniel
Webster, and concluded: II
will never vote one cent from
the public treasury to place
the Pacific ocean one inch
nearer Boston than it is now"
Senator McDuffie of South
Carolina said he wouldn't
"give a pinch of snuff for the
whole territory" Sen. Thomas H.
Benton considered the Rocky noun
tains had been placed by Provi-
dence" to mark the western limits
of the United STATES and thus set
boundary to mans ambition.
But other men thought different
ly. They knew of the fur trade that
had drawn men to the Oregon
country. Lewis and Clark had
brought back tales of a rich land.
BY 1880 some of the French Cana
dian employees of the Hudson's Bay
company had located farms in Will
lan2ette valley. Soon Americans
dfifted in to take up farms. Hunt
~fs, trappers, missionaries and ad-
venturers drifted in and out Of Ore
gon. In 1886 Whitman and Spald-
ing, with their wives, established
mission near the present site of
Walla Walla, a second at Lewiston
and a third near the present site
IF Spokane. Even the massacre of
lhe Whitmans by the Indians in 1847
did not deter the pioneers.
America Moves West.
''Oregon or Bust!" America was
Gsnpving west. The British had to
be headed off, and the Great North
west settled by Americans. First.
there were a few wagons headed
toward Oregon; then there were
thousands.
The Oregon Trail-a torturOus,
dusty, dangerous road - cut
through the prairies Of Kansas
and Nebraska, climbed over the
mountains of Wyoming, crossed
the deserts of Idaho and ira
verseo more mountains and
streams to reach the Columbia
rivek and the Pacific coast.
Even today, the deep ruts still
may ps aound, and OK bows, wagon
wheels and lonely graves are scat
tered s1,Jm the Missouri river to
A.sters&. bleached and silent re-
ninders of Oregon, the Land of the
Pioneers.
AS the fur trapping declined. agri-
culture took its place. Industries
were set up. First cannery on the
Columbia was established in 1866.
Gold was discovered in Jackson and
Josephine counties in 1852, and
mining flourished. The boundary
dispute with Great Britain was set
tied without war, and Oregon be-
same American to the core. The pio-
neers had won their fight!
Establish Government.
With a territorial government es-
sAblished, the capital was set up at
Oregon City, but later moved to Sa-
lem. Discovery of gold in Califor-
Mia opened a market for lumber,
flour and other Oregon products.

large catches of tuna, sardines, pill
chards and other commercial fish.
Oregon's shipbuilding started
from scratch during the war and
developed into giant industry al
most over night.
In 1912, more than II million dol
lars worth Of gold, silver, copper,
quicksilver and chromite was mined
in Oregon.
Oregon is still the land of the pio-
neer, and thousands Of people from
all over the United States each year
follow the broad paved Oregon Trail
to the Great Northwest. The trail
is no longer the hazardous route of
yesteryear, but it leads to the same
glamorous country the pioneers
found century ago. Many Of Ore
CONS great resources are as yet un-
developed, but completion of the
Bonneville power project and others
assures ample electric energy. A
fantastic desert of sagebrush is
changed to the richest of farm
lands by an irrigation ditch.
The wonders of Oregon make
for good living and prosperity,
but nature also made it beauti-
full and scenic. WOrld-renOwned
Crater lake, Mt. Hood and her
sister peaks in the Cascade
range, the Oregon Caves, Wal
Iowa lake and hundreds of other
scenic attractions are. a lure
that tourists cannot escape.
More than 400 miles of shoreline
are spread along the great Pacific.
Hundreds of lakes, winter sports
areas, lodges, health and play re-
sorts, and more than $1,000 miles of
paved highways are offered by Ore
gon.
In 1943, Oregon's population was
1897, 457 and the number increased
somewhat in the next two years.
Oregon still is growing, still receiv-
ing new pioneers over the Oregon
Trail.
The trek to Oregon started CEN
tury ago. It was Americas first
great migration, and it has never
ceased. The modern pioneer-the
chemist, the ex-serviceman, the la
borer, the farmer, the industrialist
is discovering a rich frontier in
the Oregon country.

was cut away to make the state Of
Washington in 1858, but in 1859 Ore

President Theodore Roosevelt
was travelling cross-country by
railroad on one occasion. In the
middle of the night his aide came
to his berth and awakened him.
"But why should get up at this
unearthly hour?" protested Roose-
velt sleepily.
''Some country people have gath.
cred at the next station to see
you,'' replied the aide.
''I'm sorry, I've had hard day
and I'm exhausted"
''But you must, Mr.. President
these people have come almost rs

Teddy Roosevelt. "They would

Stain Interview Helps.
On Tuesday the market got back
all of its Monday recession with
volume of 2,230,000 shares, the
largest of the week, and gains rang
ing from / to points. The Stain
interview discounting early war talk
was viewed as helpful.
The list duplicated its Monday
runup but volume tapered to 1,800,-
900 shares on Wednesday. A few
thin" issues like International
Business Machines and Dow Chem
ical climbed 10 points on only 100
shares each.
The forward shift continued
Thursday with transfers contracting
to 10000 shares. Trends were un-
even until the final hour when buy
ing orders lifted virtually all de-
partments.
The direction was moderately
downward Friday with the turnover
of 10000 shares a low since August
26. Timid selling was blamed by
commission houses largely on the
desire for protection over the week
end and little more skepticism re-
garding labor riffs and the ability
of the market to negotiate more
than intermittent technical recov-
cries.

Stocks Rally in Week
But Still Showloss
For Fourth Month
By Victor Eubonk
Associated Pres, Finoneiol Write,

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-For the
first time in almost two months the
stock market enjoyed a rallying week
although optimistic contingents were
not so pleased with the fact that
volume dwindled appreciably on the
comeback
The list, with the conclusion of
September, made it four straight
losing months Notwithstanding the
recent recovery stab and, from the
15-year high of May 20, in terms of
quoted values, showed loss of above
5000, 100000. From the 17-month
low of September 10, however, it
retrieved about $4,000 900.
Average Above Week Ago.
The Associated Press 60-stock
average on the week enjoyed a net
advance of is points at 63.8. The
last previous upturn for a similar
stretch was bare one-tenth of a
point in the period ended August 8.
Volume for the final September
week fell to 8,421,740 shares, COM
pared with 10,687 ,820 the week before
and was the smallest of the month
1t was the last of the short sum-
mer weeks which began in June
The stock exchange will resume
Saturday sessions October S and,
presumably, continue them through
out the winter and spring.
Brokers attributed the stiffening
of trends mainly to short covering,
bargain-hunter buying and the pur-
chasing of investment stocks for
better than the usual yields on the
idea that the market may have been
oversold and had hit bottom at least
for the time being. Skeptics, how
ever, still were widespread and these
either lightened commitments and
stood aside or cashed quick profits
on in-and-out trades
The market average dipped 1.2
points Monday on 2,110,000 shares.
