HISTORY OF
OLD OREGON
RE-ENACTED
(Continued, From Page One)
never bo witnessed again.
While the Indians were coming to
the stadium, the A Cappella ohoir
of La Grande, directed by Andrew
Loney Jr., sang two numbers and the
Spokane American Legion drum and
bugle corps furnished a drill demon
stration. The Indians entered the stadium
and. staged three tribal dances, win
ning a great ovation from the
audience. The group, representing
tho Walla Walla, Umatilla and Cay
uso tribes, presented a great dem
onstration, garbed in their richest
habiliments stepping to the thump
ing of a tribal drum.
Following the Indians, history of
an early day unfolded, first with the
Wilson Price Hunt expedition of 1811
13 stepping onto the field, accom
panied by Pierre and Madame Dorlon
as guides and with a party with an
ox team.. It was near hero on New
Year's day that the group celebrated
the occasion, and about that time
that Madame Dorion gave birth to
the first child of white ancestry born
In this district.
Captain Bonneville, whose name Is
closely linked with early exploration,
and Nathaniel Wyatt, early day ex
plorer, presented the next episode,
staging their meeting of a century
ago, in July, 1834. Then came the
missionaries, headed by Jason Lee
and Nathaniel Lee, bringing the
Methodist faith to the Indians.
The Grande Ronde valley waa de
picted then in 1836, with Narcissi and
Marcus Whitman, and Rev. and Mrs.
H. H. Spauldlng portrayed, before
their tragic end in the massacre.
The period from 1842 to 1859 was
one of rapid settlement for Oregon,
and appropriately depicted with liv
ing characters and then came the
concluding and drnmatlc climax to
the prologue, with Old Chief Joseph,
represented by Gilbert Conner, of
Umatilla, a Nez, Perce and a nephew
on his mother's side of the famous
chief. He spoke to the crowd, using
words that presented Joseph's plea
to the white men for fair treatment
for his tribesmen and women.
Tho pageant of transportation
opened with an Indian squaw, trudg
ing wearily along under her burden,
followed closely by an Indian woman
mounted on a horse and dragging a
crude "vehicle," a, drag made by two
long poles with a cross section.
In their order, came later, vehicles,
the covered wagons, the dump cart,
the stage coach, pony express, etc.,
leading up to a thrilling scene, the
holdup of an old stage coach and
passengers by robbers and a rescue
by U. S. cavalrymen La Grande na
tional guardsmen, garbed In the old
blue uniforms, wore. artillerymen and
Infantrymen.
The railroad phase was next, head
ed by the "Old Pony," first locomo
tive to operate in Oregon and "driv
en" by Martin King and R. W. Weeks.
The Semt-Oeuteunlal celebration was
first conceived by King, a retired
U. P. engineer, -and the crowd paid
tribute with rounds of applause.
Men and women horseback riders
of tho 90s, the vanishing cowboys
to the accompaniment of a solo "The
Last Round-Up" by Alfred Meyers,
two modern Indian young women In
a high speed roadster, an airplane
dropping low over the stadium, a
procession of cars led by a 1904 Ford
and the first Cadillac ever purchased
in this valley, etc.
When the two young Indian wo
men, Molly Penney and Margaret
Shoeshtp, arrived at the grandstand
they were presented a bouquet of
flowers by Mrs. Harriet MacDonald,
on behalf of the celebration commit
tee. . -A
During the afternoon Mrs.;W. H.
Parkinson sang a song, words com
posed by Wilbur Shaw and the music
by herself, and the La Grande band
furnished music.
All In all, it was an unusually Im
pressive pageant, and probably the
one person most responsible ' for 1
success waa A. W. Nelson, who . ha
received much credit for the splen
did presentation. Throughout, the"
costumry of tho characters waa per
fectly portrayed, and nothing was
lacking except an abundance of sun
shine, which did come forth, half an
hour after the Bhow had ended, ' 1
The telephone company also assist
ed with the pageant, providing tho
communications system, and ' the
Standard Oil Co. loud speaking ap
paratus was indispensable.
With the exception of one or two
minor, matters of timing, the entire
pageant was ataged without the1
benefit of a rehearsal.
One could have written many col
umns on the pageant, going Into de
tail on every episode, but lack of
apace prevents a more complete ac
count. The pageant was the formal
closing episode of the Seml-Centen-nlal
celebration, although a wrek-i
tllng-boxlng card and evening dances
completed the third day's program.,
