DUNHAM WRIGHT
GIVES' HIS IDEA
ON '34 PAGEANT
Editor's Note Dunham Wright,
sage of Medical Springs and one ol
the earliest pioneers of this section,
herewith writes his Ideas of what the
semi-centennial u. P. celebration par
ade and pageant should he like.
As the people of Union county are
making -preparations to honor the
railroad on the seml-cenntennlal of
Its advent Into Union county. It
should! be with a parade and pageant
recognizing each business from the
territory's and state's earliest history,
making a demand for a better means
of travel ,and transportation up to
the year 1884, which brought us the
railroad and Iron horse puffing,
snorting, bell ringing and whistle
blowing. It(brought glad tidings and
happiness to the wholo community.
Nothing should be left undone to
make this event a grand success. .
- John McLaughlin Is the recognized
father of the territory and state. He
was ,the friend of both the red and
white man, the missionary and pio
neer. All found favor and assistance
with him. He should lead tho par
ade. Who will be John McLaughlin
and Impersonate him?
Before settlement and civilization,
our country was roamed over by
three fur gathering companies. The
1 red man was the trapper who caught
the furs and he Is willing to toko
part In our pageant. He should fol
low John McLaughlin with his traps,
furs and paraphanalla. Now comes
our missionaries, to bring us settle
ment and civilization. It is the his
tory of all new countries that set
tlemeni and civilization follows the
Bible, and Its teachings by both
Protestant and Catholic. Jason Lee
was our first protcstant missionary
and circuit-rider, this year being the
centennial year for It was in the
summer of 1834 that he preached his
first sermon in me oia un n
tory at old Ft. Hall on Snake river.
He then came to us on horseback,
now he is celebrating his centennial
year by coming to us In a covered
wagon. Who is to be our missionary
and circult-rkler. Jason Lee, on .horse
back to follow In the pageant on the
heals of the Indian fur traders?
Now two years later in 1830, comes
to us the missionaries. Whitman and
Spalding with their wives, an .
horseback. Where can we find
t tvinv thnfc can ride on
WIHIWU
sidesaddle and follow In the parade
on the heels ol jason
m, ,vTm our nlonccr fathers and
mothers In about three covered wag
ons drawn by horses or mules, the
wagons td be filled with women and
children. These are the ones who sub
dued the wilderness. They built the
inn nmhln homes, the first school
houses and churches, turned the first
furrows of the rich virgin sou oi .
present homes, 'l'licy to ivuuw
anniHlntr in the parade.
Nnw comes a few pack animals
loaded with needed implements and
supplies ootainoa "t. uw- -i'

Following them comes Whispering
Thompson, with his ton horses and
ft rvnanna All this IS UvinC 6Vi-
dence to the thousands of onlookers
that are viewing the parade of the
great need of a quicker and better
system of both travel and transpor
tation, bringing needed supplies to us

from us without having- to market
our livestock on tne noon.
Hark! hark I don't you hear the

we all so)-wistfully and patiently have
looked for all tnose many yeura.
While there Is but a small remnant
of the first id timers still lingering
on life's side of eternity that wit
nessed the first coming of the Iron
Horse fifty tfears ago. yet their sons
and daughters and grandchildren are
lull ol entnusiosm to maito vne cali
bration of the advent of the railroad
a howling success.
