Fame Uses 'Magic' To Calm
Indians In Pageant Episode
By KEN METZLER
(This is the third of a series of articles describing each
of the five episodes of the Umpqua Cavalcade.)
Indians in Episode 3 of the big Centennial Pageant are
bewildered by "magic" displayed by David Douglas, for
whom the Douglas Fir is named.
Portrayed in the "Hunting and Trapping," episode of the
Cavalcade, Douglas is sent by the London Horticultural So
ciety to examine botanical specimens. 1
Touring Oregon,- his main inter
est is in trees and in one scene
he shoots down a cone from one of
the big trees to examine it more
closely.
This brings out a horde of an
tagonistic Indians, but the clever
Douglas calms them with his own
brand of magic he starts a fire
with a magnifying glass and cre
ates a fiery spectacle by placing
gun powder on the fire. 1
Later he meets the returning
Jedediah Smith, survivor of an
Indian Massacre portrayed in Ep
isode 2. ' i
Smith and a parly of trappers
from Hudson Bay Co. sit around i
a campfire and sing Kubik's "Ev
ery Female is a Torso."
Next Ewing Young drives by
with a great herd of cattle. He's
singing a lonesome song, "Along
About Cock Crow."
The famed Applegate expedition
led by Jesse and Lindsay Apple-
gate arrives on the scene looking
for a new wagon road into Ore
gon to eliminate crossing the Co
lumbia River.

The landing of a party of early
settlers at Port Orford brings on
the "Battle Rock" incident., Tho

coast where they fight off repeat
ed Indian attacks for four days.
The rock was later dubbed "Bat
tle Rock."
Finally the men are able to es
cape and make their way to a
location near Gardiner.
The Cornwall party enters the
Cavalcade with the establishment
of the first cabin in Douglas Coun
ty. Episode 3 ends with the return
of the Applegate party from Ft.
Hall, Ida., to announce they had
found it a new route to Oregon.
