OREGON'S HISTORY
ON SIGN BOARDS
Writing history in letters a foot
tall on pages fourteen feet high and
standing the pages along the road
side so that he who runs may read
Is the most recent method adopted
for recalling to the memory of Ore
gon much of the forgotten lore in
which the state is rich.
When these pages of history first
began to appear on the landscape,
automobillsts expressed a friendly
interest in them, but as more and
more places of historical significance
were marked there came from the
motorists a chorus of approval. Motor
routes that were formerly rather dull
affairs hare suddenly become filled
with a new interest the silent places
hare become alive again with fron
tiersmen, stury pioneers re-people
the countryside and daring explor
ers put their fateful efforts in iso
lated places.
The credit for this novel method
of reviving Interest in the events of
bygone days belongs to the United
States Tire Company. While one
page of the big book sets forth in
teresting historical data the other
page does not hesitate to assert the
oft-reiterated truth that "United
States tires are good tiree."

boards they are forty feet long and
fourteen feet tall is not confined to
Oregon. Already New England's
towns and villages, redolent with
tales of Pilgrims and patriots, are
dotted with the big books. In a
score of States in the Middle West
and South many boards are in place,
and all along the Uacific Coast tour
ists learn Interesting history from
tho boards.
The boards are not things of a
season only. It Is the intention u
"turn a page" each year and place
new history upon It.
The history of Oregon is told on
these bulletin boards from the time
of the Spanish and English navigat
ors who reached the coast la the early
explorations of the northern Pacific
coast in the seventeenth century up
to the time that Oregon men and
women took part In winning thu
World's War.
These boards tell the story of
Captcln Cook's landing at Mootka
Sound in 1778, snd of the Fronch
navigator Lapfjuae who sailed
along the coast in 1786
They also record that'In 1789, twu
Americans John Kendrick and Rob
ert Gray, sent out by Boston fur
merchants explored Oregon, Gray
giving the Columbia River its name
(1791).
On several boards the feature b
the story of tho Lewis and Clark ex
pedition, a celebrated exploration
trip to the northwestern part of the
United States begun in 1803 under
the command of Captain Meriwether
Lewis and Captr.in William Clark,
the results of which gave a more
definite idea of the natural resources
in this hitherto unexplored region
than had ever been known.
The Lewis and Clark expedition
was an idea of Thomas Jefferson,
who appointed his private secretary
to the command of the expedition,
and while Lewis was nominally la
command, he always regarded Clark
as his official equal, with a result
that both men worked hand in hand
toward their great object, with in
creased friendship and rospect foi
each other.
After naming the triple fork of the
Missouri River for Jefferson, Mad
ison and Gallatin (July 1805), the
little expedition marched across the
NexPerce trail along the Bitter Root

Mountains and came to the head
waters of the Clearwater brunch of
tho Columbia. October 7th, they
launched their canoes for the descent
of this great river which they reached
on November 15. On tho shores 01
young's Bay, the explorers built r
fortified camp, which the called Kort
Clatsop, where they spent the wluter.
Bulletin boards tell also the story
of John Jacob Astor, and the estab
lishment in IS 11 of the American
Kur Co; also of the fixing of the
Northwestern boundary between the
United States and Canady by the
convention of 1818.
Head-on painted displays, also tell
In tabloid form of the immigration
of the New Englanders who came
overland by way of the South Pass
until the railways superseded the
ox-team.
Other bards contain Information
about the formation of Washington
territory (March 2, 1853) out of the
northern half of Oregon; the adopt
ing of a State constitution (Nov. 5.
1857). and Oregon's admission Into
the Union on February 14, 1859.
These boards also record the spor
adic! warfare with the Indians be
tween 1845 and 1855 and the re
sumption of warfare in 1858 and
again in 1866 and '6S when occurred
the Shoshone war; also the Modoc oi
Various displays are required to
tell the story of the Indiana existing
in Oregon at the present time, a
number of Indian tribes representing
more than ten distinct linguist lc
stocks. Incidentally, these Indians
have been largely collected on five
reservations. Grand Ronde, Klamath.
Siletr, Umatilla and Warm Spring!,
while still others live along or near
the Columbia River.
It is interesting to recall that the
Indian at Grand Ronde represent
the remnants of nine small tribes in
cluding the Clackamas, Cow Creek.
Lakmiut, Mary's River, Rogue River.
Santlan, Umpqua, Wapete and Yam
hill. A number of bulletins aro requir
ed for the story of the Oregon trail,
an old emigrant route about 2,000
miles lonf extending from Indepen
dence, Mo , to Oregon City and Fort
Vancouver on the Columbia River.
This old Indian and buffalo trail was
further defined by trappers and set
tiers and afterwards blazed part of
the way by Verendrye In 1742, and
more definitely routed by the Lewis
and Clark expedition in 1804, and by
an Astor party establishing fur-trading
posts in 1810-12.
In the later thirties, several mis
sionary expeditions passed over the
Oregon trail, while In 1842. John C.
Fremont made the government sur
vey of a route to the coast. Inci
dentally, efforts are now being niadi
to have an automobile highway mark
the course of the old trail.
Many bulletins are devoted to the
history of the various cities anc!
towns of historical interest in Oregon.
Several are required to tell of Port
land, which had its beginning when
William Overton in November 1843
landed his canoe on le river's west
ern bank and examined the town-site
of Portland.
Strangely enough, it was tho toss
ing of a coin that gave Portland its
name. The two pioneers of Port
land, F. W. Pettygrove and A. L.
Lovejoy were New Englanders the
former from Maine and the lattei
from Massachusetts. Pettygrove de
sired to name the new town for Port
land, Me., and Lovejoy for Boston,
Mass.
"Heads it is Portland," "Tails it
is Boston" and the heads appearing
twice out of the three twirls, the
city on the Willamette became Port
land as a result of Pettygrove's luck.
