Tho history of the Old Oregon Trail
Js one full of my.tery, romance, hard
ship, faith and endurance.
Why so many people left comfort
wble homes to plunge Into tho wHdor
nesR known ns the "(Ireat American
Desert" full of hardships an I perils,
ni one ran ttjll.
The history of tho world does not
record a parallel case of so many peo
ple traveling so gnat a distance as1
did the pioneers of Sr-;i over tho Old
Oregon Trail.
A part of (he Trail was traversed
by lwis and Clark in 1 Sf IS. Then
came the Hunt expedition in iKlll-12.
Ten years Inter a party of trappers
found and crossed the South I'asss
Then in ISM Nathaniel J. Wyoth built
Port Hall near the proscu site of
Pocatelln. Ida., near the junci'iii i.f
the Tort Neuff and Snake rivers. I'or
ten years Fort Hall was the extreme
outpost and no wagon had ever ven
tured beyond that point. Finally in
Ifrlli n thousand men, women a:ul chil
dren blared the trail clear through to
the Willamette Valley nnd demonstrat
ed that wagons could make the jour
ney. In 18-lo-47. the Mormons ninde thor
celebrated pilgrimage to the (!re;it
Salt Lake. In KI!I came the great
gold nub. to California. Hut the
greatest of nil, the migration that has
gone down in hitry as the great
est movement of people to a common
destination, came in IH.",2 when thrv
hundred thousand men. women an
children traversed the length of the
Trail from Council Itlutfs, lown,
through to the Willamette Valley,
Oregon.

In 171VJ Captain Cray discovered tb.'

to mnke n plea for independence,

tions, in the opinion of Sergio Osmena,
speaker of the house of representa
tives. In a statement today, he said:
"The only instruction that may be
properly given to any mission that is
sent to the United States is to work
for the independence of tho Philip
pines. No detailed definition of the
work that it must do or of the policies
that we are to follow here is neces
sary. The mission should adjust it
self to circumstances as they are in
the United States and get what it can.
If we send a mission to the United
States, for instance, with insmctions
to work for absolute independence,
nnd it does not get it, then comes
disappointment."
It is now stated the mission will not
be able to leave for Washington until
some time in March. ;

"The limiting factor in agriculture j
in this section is water," points out!
Director Jardine. In liH'h an average!
of U.7 acre fct of water was used in!
