OREGON One Hundred Years Young (Cover Picture) By Ernest Rostel In the vast scheme of things, a cen tury* is but a fleeting second. Even in man’s measurement of time, a century is only a small fraction of the years since the earliest civilizations. But in Oregon a century represents the bulk of history of the beaver state’s devel opment from a wilderness into the fine state it is today. Oregonians take deep pride in this century of progress which has seen the establishment and growth of pros perous cities, development of the West’s outstanding highway system, evolution of forests and wild meadows into tens of thousands of farms, and the build ing of great industries. When the Oregon country was-es tablished as a territory on August 14, 1848, there were less than 8000 people living in an area pf more than 300,000 square miles, larger than the British Isles and Ftance combined. This terri tory gave birth to Idaho, Washington, portions of Wyoming and Montana; as Well as Oregon. So now 100 years later, Oregonians pause to look back to pay honor to the trappers, explorers and early settlers who laid foundations for our great state today, Special celebrations and events are scheduled throughout the summer to observe Oregon’s Territorial Centennial. Major activities have been announced by Oregon City for August 13-1 J, climaxed by the presence of the governors of the states which were once included in the original territory. Albany is not only celebrating the state centennial but her own centennial as well on August 25" to 27. The same holds true for Dayton from July 2 | to 25; The centennial theme, will be in cluded in celebrations such as the Illi nois Valley Jamboree, the Coquille In dependence Day program, the Santiam Bean Festival and other events.
