Oregon's Centennial Wagon Train Travels By Barge Down River PORTLAND UPIt The seven; wagons of the Oregon Centennial cavalcade, like the covered wag ons of 116 years ago, made the trip from The Dalles to Portland by barge Monday but under alter ed circumstances. In the pioneer days, the wagons were loaded aboard home - made rafts, and the trip to what is now the Portland-Vancouver area took three days or so. On Monday the seven conestogas. all loaded on one barge, made the trip to Port land in 10 hours. The plan had been to stay over night at Willamette nark, but there was no place to tie . up se curely there. So the wagons were tied up at the Zidell dock. Hillsboro Next The wagons got under way to day for Hillsboro, the next over land leg of the long trek from In dependence, Mo., to Independ ence, Ore. A celebration, com plete with a big feed is planned for the fifty niners at Hillsboro Formosa Flood Leaves Death Injury Behind TAIPEI (UPIi Police said today that more than 1.000 per sons were dead or missing in Formosa's worst floods in re corded history. There were fears the death toll would rise further. Latest reports listed 4!I8 known dead, 541 missing and 5f3 in jured. An unconfirmed report said one U.S.. Army officer was missing in central Formosa. Telephone and telegraph com munications with the hard - hit area in central and southern For mosa were mostly destroyed and there was a strong possihility the numoer of dead would increase A United Press Internationa! photographer flew over the disas ter area today and reported that the floods apiwared to be reced ing. Ho said conditions still were "horrible.'' Waters had drawn back from the cities and larger villages but thousands and thousands of acres of nee fields and sugar cane fields were still flooded. Authorities feared there would' be many more dead under the mud and debris. An express train carrying alxwt 500 passengers was stranded Fri day night near Changhua in cen tral Formosa. Taipei officials did not know today whether the train was stnl stranded or whether the passengers, ' who had been with out food since Friday, had been supplied. SOVIET EXHIBIT ENDS NEW YORK iUPU Th Soviet Exhibition of Science. Tech nology and Culture closed its doors Monday after being viewed by an estimated 1.500.000 Ameri cans. Alexei N. Manzhulo. director-general, said comments of. vis itors during the exhibition's 42-day stand "showed that the Ajiie-i-can people, as well as the Soviet people, want to live in peace am! to have, fruitful, .mutually advan tageous cooperation" which will be beneficial not only to those two countries but to the whole worm Then- are more Hi. si WW"1 I'-"1 tun tejiheis in Ann-rxan liHit'l ins of higher ?arning. before the wagons continue on toward Independence On the trip down the Columbia, the wagoneeis were cheered by crowds that gathered by the river side along the way. At Collins Creek near Wind Mountain, hun dreds turned out with a huge ban ner emblazoned in large green letters "Welcome. Oregon Caval cade." Messages of welcome were even flashed from the mountain tops by mirrors. The Fifty niners paused for lunch Monday at,. Washougal . as guests of the Camas and Washou gal Chambers of Commerce. Hun dreds g-eeted them at the docks. The Washougal stop, only place where the cavalcade touched Washington shores. was , also in accordance with history. . W agonmaster Tex Serpa ob served that most of the wagon tra'ns that floated down the river landed at Fort Rains or Fort Van couver for provisions. Amity Thursday The Fifty-niners plan to make it t Dundee Wediesday; Thursday to Amity, and Friday to a point about a mile out of Independence. ' Saturday the wagons will roll triumphantly into Independence, end of the trek of 2.020 milcS from .Missouri. That will be the 100th day of travel, the 120th day of elapsed time since the wagons rolled out of Independence, Mis souri, April 19th But that won't be the end. After their triumphal weekend, the wag ons will roll again by truck to Portland Monday morning. Horses and mules will then be hitched to their rigs for the final parade to the Oregon Centennial Exposition grounds at the north edge of Port land. Then they will unhitch and dispursc. Hut the wagons will re main on exhibition at the Exposi tion.
