Willamette Week
Boy Scouts hold Bicentennial Encampment
Vic Crowe, coach of the Portland
Timber soccer team, has been named
honorary chairman of the 1976 Bicenten
mal Encampment of the Columbia Pacific
Council of the Boy Scouts of America, it is
announced by Edward 8. Holden, en
campment director.
Crowe has been active for many years
in Icoutlng in England where scouting
started.
“I'm honored to be a part of scouting
here in Portland and proud to participate
in the Bicentennial celebration in the
colonies." the witty Britisher said.
The encampment will be held Memorial
Day Weekend (May 28th through the
31st) at West Delta Park in North
Portland. About 7,000 scouts, including
Cubs. Scouts, Explorers and adult volun
leers are expected to attend the four day
encampment.
In addition, scouting contingents from
Portland's sister city of Sapporo, Japan,
and British Columbia, Canada, will be
special guests as will scout groups from
neighboring councils in Washington and
Oregon.
The encampment will combine many
familiar scouting skills and field events
and will include special environmental
exhibits. A special Bicentennial stage
show and fireworks display is scheduled
for Sunday night. May 30th.
The general public will be permitted
onto the encampment grounds from noon
until dusk during the Saturday and
Sunday (May 29th through the 30th)
events.
Scout parents are invited to visit the
encampment Sunday, remain to have
dinner with their boys and stay to see a
special Bicentennial stage show and fire
works display that night.
Oregon 1876 Centennial gala affair
As Bicentennial hoopla approaches fe
ver pitch, it might be reassuring to
know that the 1876 Centennial inspired
just as much • or more
fanfare. In
fact, between 12 and 15,000 people
attended an evening fireworks display
at the Park Blocks,
But Portland's Centennial plans had
been brought to a halt earlier, when a
flood hit the downtown area on June
18th.
Merchants paddled down city
streets in skiffs, delivering groceries
and merchandise. Damaged mounted,
but some shopkeepers placed signs out
side their businesses saying. "Noah's
Ark.” "Seaside Resort." "No Wet Feet
at this Shebang" and “Accomodations
for Men and Fish.“ By the last of June,
one of the worst floods in Oregon's
history started to recede, and towns
people were urged to clean up quickly
for the Centennial.
A recently published book. “Oregon's
Flamboyant Fourth,” chronicles these
Oregon Centennial preparations, with
numerous local anecdotes. For example,
10,000 people gathered at the Park
Blocks for morning literay exercises and
orations. It was hot, however, and the
Park Blocks were then bare of trees.
Orators, realizing the short attention
span of such a roasted audience, quar
reled over who should speak early be
fore the audience dispersed.
As it
turned out, the welcoming address was
delayed till the feast was over, and the
"Reply to the Welcoming Address" re
legated to last place!
"Oregon’s Flamboyant Fourth" also
provides an insight into Oregon life
during the Centennial year, and there
happen to be some parellels between
the Bicentennial and Centennial. Those
"Buycentennial" souvenirs are nothing
new. Centennial miscellance included
star spangled stockings, jewelry. Cen
tennial brooms and canes containing
brimstone and saltpeter. The "Portland
Bee" reported on May 3rd that the
word 'Centennial' would induce vomiting
by the end of ih year and no one then
living would wish to see 1976 for any
consideration!
Enthusiasm apparently remained un
dampened, however, since Oregonians
cairied. -out elaborate plans for their
part in the national Philadelphia Exhi
bition. Oregon's display featured agri
cultural products arid timber, flora and
fauna specimens and Indian handicrafts.
Oregon won .16 awards at the exhibi
tion, most of them for items such as
apples, wool and wheat.
Oregon composers of the mid-nine
teenth century also turned out to be
award winners, with several composers
and their music featured in "Oregon's
Flamboyant Fourth."
One composer
was inspired to write the "Portland
Waltz," while another came up with the
“Portland Light Battery March." Ano
ther musician and composer, Charles E.
Bray, maintained a studio at Fourth and
Morrison Streets while still playing at
chic social events such as the Waverly
Social Club parties. Turn Verein Balls
and New Market Theater Grand Con
certs.

Dan Mosee is opposed by tw o quite serious and credible candidates -- Harvey
Akeson and Dave McCammon — in the Democratic prim ary for his position on
the M ultnom ah County Commission. None o f the Republican candidates for this
position is expected to run a serious cam paign, and Democratic registration in
M ultnom ah County is so predom inant that the w inner o f this race w ill
undoubtedly be the next commissioner.
Dan Mosee has taken a consistently reactionary and myopic stance during his
term on the county commission. In one of his most prom inent actions, Mosee
strongly advocated purchase of the Hoyt Hotel for $700,000 including back taxes.
That fin ancial judgem ent was one o f the most significant steps tow ard
M ultnom ah County's current fiscal crisis, and the Hoyt stands em pty today.
W hile m any county em ployees say Mosee is w e ll-m eaning and frequently
gives personal attention to constituent problem s, we cannot condone his
backw aid end sm all-m inded approach to issues com ing before the commission
and his frequent bitter, personal attacks on people w ho disagree w ith him.
Representative Harvey Akeson (D-Portland) has built a fo rm idable record in
the Oregon Legislature. During the 1975 session, as co-chairm an o f the Ways
and Means Com m ittee, Akeson's perform ance in that very d iffic u lt role earned
the praise o f legislators, lobbyists and members o f the press. Akeson's thorough
experience in dealing w ith public fiscal matters is just w hat the county needs
during this very critical financial period.
Dave McCammon, an insurance agent w ith M utual of N ew York, has a good
background in electoral politics and has served as a m em ber o f the city tow ing
board. He has been praised for his w ork in that post.
We adm ire M cCammon's gargantuan personal efforts at cam paigning fo r this
position. He is an ideal candidate, m aking every effort to inform him self and
involve m any people in politics. But w e cannot overlook Akeson's much longer,
deeper record of public accom plishm ent. Akeson has not only paid his dues in
fu ll; he impresses us as a very candid, straight-talking person.
Dan Mosee must be replaced. His contribution to county politics and public
policy has been negative. We endorse Harvey Akeson.
