Do you have a copy of Oregon State Parks, a well- illustrated booklet published by the State Parks Department. It will guide you to many beautiful and unusual spots you might very likely miss w ith out its help. Do you have copies of the informa tive historical brochures written by Walter Meacham, executive secretary of the Oregon Council, American Pio neer Trails Association? Do you have a book or pamphlet about Pacific coast sea life, or wild flowers, or bird life? Will you be merely traveling "to get away from it all,” to be going "some where” or will you be absorbing every possible experience? These are only casual suggestions. The extent of your research will depend upon your indi vidual interest. If you aren’t ready to give informa tion intelligently and generously to our tourist-guests this summer, you’ll miss the thrill of being the host to a hun dred years of exciting history.

The Oregon territory achieved terri torial status by Congressional action in August, 1848, but news of the action was not received until the fol lowing January because of the extreme slowness of communication. Covered wagon trains took as much as six months to come from the head of the Old Oregon Trail at Independence, Missouri, to the Willamette Valley where Oregon’s first settlements began. In part the trail followed U. S. High way 30 across Oregon. Oregon’s terri torial centennial this year emphasizes the progress of a century. A fast air plane can fly to Independence in less than six hours. A wounded bear, followed by a pio neer hunter, in 1874, led to the discov ery of the Oregon Caves near Grants Pass in southern Oregon, Above items from newrs releases of State Highway Travel Information Di vision.
