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.
