THE OREGONIANS DIAMOND JUBILEE
The Portland Oregonian celebrated its seventy-fifth
birthday yesterday, by issuing an edition giving the history
of the paper and portraying a vast array of facts appropriate
to the occasion
And by holding a birthday party at the auditorium in
Portland, at which many thousands witnessed "The Covered
Wagon,", the wonderful screen portraying the days of the
immigrant trains coming to Oregon across the plains in
pioneer times, and with speeches and songs and a banquet
at which perhaps two thousand people sat down as guests of
the Oregonian, followed by further speeches and songs and
the giving of congratulations.
It Wis a great occasion, fittingly-marking the diamond
jubilee of the newspaper which has led in outstanding prom
inence in its field in the Oregon country during all but the
first few years of its long span of life.
' "The Oregonian was during more than a half century the
lengthening shadow of a man, or rather of two men
' Henry L. Pittock, manager, and Harvey W. Scott, editor.
Mr. Pittock was a man of courage and industry, and of bus
iness ability, and he faithfully fought an uphill fight, often
in the face of bitter and what to other men would have been
ruinous competition, landing his newspaper property finally
at the point of independence, leading to great success, and
Mr. Scott was an editor of the old school tvne. like Dana and
Watterson and Greely
'. . Of the type of whom it might be said.
in those days."' ' ; - .
Bu Mr. Pittock and Mr. Scott passed on, and they might
have been imagined looking on from another life from a
distant star at 3-esterday's jubilee celebration with interest
and pleasure
And at the present conduct of the Oregonian with satis
faction; for Edgar 13. Piper is a great newspaper editor,' and
C. A., Morden is a great newspaper manager. ; Their team
work is different from the team work of Scott and Pittock,
but it is stamped with even greater success in many ways
' Due not altogether to the fact that their field is, larger,
their acili'ties more complete and their opportunities-generally
better for the making of a great newspaper
One of the real great newspapers of the United States,
and of the world. .
. The Statesman views the work of Mr. Piper with the
same pride felt in' the careers of many young men and
women who have in the long years of the past graduated from
its active forces and gone on to larger fields of endeavor and
usefulness
For Mr. Piper began his newspaper career on The States
man, and was given God speed towards some of his after
promotions from this newspaper
And the Oregonian beats The Statesman to its diamond
jubilee by only a few weeks. The first issue of the Oregonian
was on December 4, 1850; the first issue tf The Statesman
was on March 28, 1851. No other two newspapers west of
the Rocky mountains have survived for seventy-five years.
The Statesman was during its first few years a bigger and
better newspaper than the Oregonian, and it wielded far
greater power ; especially during all the time that Asahel
Bush published The Statesman.
there were giants ; effldng journeys but these guides are not always satisfactory.
They are ; not issued regularly and where the time between

numbered locally by the states, consequent confusion results
between them. " ' -;; .",' ' ' 1 '
The board of Interstate Highways declares present laws
flexible enough for carrying out this proposed plan which
has the approval of the War Department and has requested
he authority of the states to push the plan forward.
In case of stress, necessities could be rushed over these
highways systematically designated, with a maximum of
Speed. - Both freight and auto transportation is increasing
rapidly and the length of the journeys is limited only by the
will of the traveler. Nationalized highways mean conven
ience, efficiency, progress.

The Oregonian celebrated its

" Feng, the Chinese Christian
general, is again the man of des
tiny in his country. He is calling
a conference of all the military
leaders of his country, to meet in
Pekin, where he is in control.
Feng is one of the greatest men
of his day, or of any day or any
country, and he might by his lead
ership carry China far in the path
of progress, if it were not so con
servative and so lacking in patrio
tism, and so vast and unwieldy.
The Associated Press carried to
the whole country, and to the rest
of the world. the story of the
great profits in mint in the Salem
district the past season. This will
tend to increase the mint boom.
And make still more important
the thorough organization of the
industry.

The government's new scheme for nationalized highways
includes over seventy-five thousand miles of highways each
of which will have its own approved markings. 'Directions
and warning instructions will be placed along each route.
Many of the dangers of travel will, it is expected, be elim
inated by this new system. In many states road marking is
inadequate, in others confusing and along other roads there
is no marking whatever.
Under present conditions unless motorists are well
acquainted with the routes they are traveling they experience
sometimes great difficulties in keeping the roads desired.
The wrong road taken is not only a matter of embarrassment
but is a loss of time and an added expense.
The use of the road map is usually resorted to by those
