GLOWING OREGON STORY IS TOLD BY PATTERSON 1 (Oontinud froa pf 1.) seeds of the conflict which was to determine whether the Oregon country shiuld be developed into homes for American frontiersmen or retained as a vast game pre- . . n tn nnnn tAAfft- t i tc iur OUU9U t i v vc 1 a- VC-- forcing the American claims werej the missionaries who had braved tho perilous trip to the Pacific Coast to bring the message of ( Christianity and civilization to the Indians. The historical authen ticity of the story may be ques tioned, but it is consistent with the character of those pioneering men of God and inspiring to be lieve that they went forth to an swer the call carried by four In dian chiefs who made the long, weary Journey from 1 the Oregon country to St. Louis in quest of the white man's Book of the Great Spirit. From Jason Lee, Marcus Whit man, and their associates in the, missionary field came back word of a land favored for farmer and homebuilder, with rich soil, mild climate, forests of pine and fir. mineral wealth, unlimited water power, all the natural resources ;o insure a prosperous state. Then the Covered Wagons Was this land of opportunity to be the dependent colony of a dis tant king, or a unit in the great merican republic? That que $, iion was in the balance in ISA'.', ind it was to throw their weight )ii the eide of the United States a well an to seek pleasant and pros-1 Tjarous homes for themselves that adventurous pioneers assembled at Independence, Missouri, to launch what has been called one it the most remarkable migra tions in the history of mankind This was the caravan of 184 3 when nine hundred men, women and children set forth in covered wagons to cross a continent and wirf a wilderness. In all of American history there As no tale more dramatic than that of the great march to Oregon. American hearts Are still moved by the gallantry, the endurance the unequalled fortitude of those dauntless pioneers who ventured forth among nostile tribes, across pathless plains into an unknown ,and Man of must faa you who listen to- ight must have had among your forebears connections who took part in the expedition remap? orae of you have in your attics letters which came back from the Oregon country. If so. they are precious souvenirs of one of the greatest acts in (he drama of na tional expansion which established the United States on the Pacific coast. Tli en American Government The arrival of the wagon train changed the small American ma jority in the Oregon country to an overwhelming one. and reenfo ed, beyond contention, the provis ional government instituted at Champoeg on May 2. 1843, when, by the narrow margin of two dared themselves for American allegiance. Then followed a steady stream of pioneers and frontiersmen who struggled across the plains, tolled over the Isthmus or sailed perilously around the Horn to reach the country which offered such rich promise for the future. Territoial govenment was established in 1848, and on Feb ruary 14, 1859. the state of Ore gon was admitted to the Union. In the '80 s came the railroads and ended the isolation which had forced Oregon pioneers to rely for the development of their state on their own resourcefulness and their own ingenuity. Now the Panama canal has removed any distinction between the Atlantic and Pacific shores nf America. Man has taken wings and spanned between dawn and dusk the dis tance over which the pioneers toiled for weary months. The coming of the motor car has re newed traffic on the Old regon Trail, and rrer it a new cravsn is traveling to rediscover the great beauty, the wonderful c'imate. the varied and rich resources of the land which called the pioneers. Our Oregon of the Present You, who know Oregon only on the map, picture to oyurselves r. great territory of 96.699 square miles, twice as large as New York state, one and one-half times as large as the whole of New Eng land.. This vast region is cleft north and south by the Cascade mountains into two divisions en- SEE W.E. MOSES For Farms, City Homes, F.x changes, General Insurance, tirely dissimilar as to son, climate and scenery. Westof th mount ains is a land perpetually green, with rerdant hills, moss carpeted forests, streams running between borders of alder and willow, and' fertile valleys which produce ev erything that will grow in the temperate zone except citrus fruits. East of the Cascades the land is russet and gold, with hugs wheat fields, timbered areas of and sheep, tawny foothills which are probed for mineral wealth, and high deserts where irrigation has brought thousands of acres into productlrity. For many. Oregon casts Its first spell as a vacation land. We offer the motorist one of tie best de veloped highway systems in the nation, on which we have spent one hundred million dollars in the last ten years. Many miles of hard surface, long reaches of care fully maintained oiled macadam, and a well knit pin of forest and market roads make motoring de lightful in any section of the state. A Natural Playground Oregon has all the elements of a natural playground a rugged and beautiful seashore, timbered mountain ranges and lofty snow peaks, blue lakes in upland mead ows, ageless forests, rushing streams, pe;t;eful valleys a never-ending variety of splendor. The gorge of the Columbia, where the great river cuts through the Cascades, contains some of the most beautiful scenery In the world, and the building of the Co lumbia River Highway along the Oregon shore has made this route accessible by motor as well aa rail. By a loop connection you may turn from the Columbia highway, skirt Mount Hood, and ever per fect roads return to Portland, hav ing, in an easy day's journey, en joyed magnificent river Views, plunging waterfalls, glacier-fed streams1, and a stately mountain lifting its snow-clad peak eleven thousand feet into the heavens. To the south are the Oregon Caves the "marble halls" or Ore gon, which fascinate with theii intricate geological formation Crater Lake, bluest gem of all in land waters", has a great national park dedicted to its indescribable beauty. Along the ocean shore the Roosevelt highway offers won derful vistas of mountains, forest.1 and se The Dalles-California highway branches from the Old Oregon Trail and takes the visito into central Oregon, where ar vast distances and superb view of an amazing array of snow capped peaks There are lava bed of ancient origin, and there th' Deschutes winds a sinuous coursr through a defile which has beer tailed the Grand canyon of thf northwest. Eastward lies Wal lowa lake, exquisite in a setting of lofty mountains. Nearby, ir the beart of the cattle country i the scene of the Pendleton Round Up where each year thousands of visitors gather to witness surpris ing feats of horsemanship and tc recapture the spirit of the old west, which belonged to the Indi an and the cowboy. In every corner of our state yor will find unequalled and unspoiled natural beauty. You will be im pressed as every visitor is by th profusion of wild flowers whicl crowd close to the roadways anc' by the gardens which surround ev en the humbTest homes. A Sportsmen's Paradise Oregon has game and fish to delight the sportsman's heart There are bear in the wooded hill' and deer in the forests-. In the wilder land you may come upon an occasional cougar or mountair cat. and if you think you have ex hausted all the thrills known tc sportsmen, you may bring down your cougar with bow and arrow Sag hens and rabbits live on the plains, grouse in the timbered foothills; ducks and geese abound on the marshes, sloughs and lakes and colorful Chinese pheasants flourish in every country. Along any route through the state you will find beautiful mountain streams and lakes where a fly may be cast with success for every va riety of trout. In the lower Wil lamette are the greatest salmon trolling grounds in America, and the steelhead salmon is the gam est fish in the world. Whether your Individual prefer ence be for fishing, hunting, mo r.rir.o- mountain climbing, surf bathing, tramping over forest trails, or for golf in the cities or on scenic courses overlooking tv ocean. Oregon will Bupply you with a perfect vacation. And her pleasures are not reserved for the rich man who can affo'd elaborate equipment and extensive leisure Recreational opportunities are eai1v available tb h' enjoyed by all people at a , minimum 3f effort and cost. And Our Climate The climate is mild and pleas ant. I want, here , to correct the mistaken impression that Oregon is a land of excessive rainfall. In western Oregon we have an aver age annual rainfll of about forty two inches, which is not more than the average rainfall of Nej York state or most of the MIssiS- sippi valley states. The summer ( climate is ideal, and in winter; there is little freezing weather. j Roses bloom ia the open when most of the world Is snow bounV The great mountain range separ-' ates eastern Oregon from the Im-j and the air there is drier, with less rainfall. The winters are colder, although the cold Is not excessive. Our state is entirely free from devastating storms tba endanger life and destroy crops. In Oregon men may live-.rlosr enough to nature to enjoy hei beauties, and at the same time hare all the advantages of civilis ation and culture. Our cities are pleasant and prosp"?us. with schools, churches and libraries of high standard, and other evidenc es of civic pride and progress. The state generously supports an ex cellent university, one of the larg est agricultural colleges of the na tion, and two state normal schools Oregon may call you first by her unexcelled charm as a playground, but you will aet visit us without being impressed by agricultural and industrial resources which are as varied as the climate, soil, and scenery. Wonderful Forest Resources Foremost among our natural as sets are the wonderful forests which cover our mountain ranges and foothills. We have four hun dred billion feet of standing tim ber, one-fifth of the standing tim ber of the United States, more than any other state in the Union. Oregon's characteristic tree, the towering Douglas fir. or Oregon pine. :s Known me world over jport Orford cedar, which is found j nowhere else in North America, i an extremely valuable wood greatly desired in the Orient be cause its natural oils resist the attacks of insects. During the World war the nation turned to Oregon for Sitka Fprunce for air plane Btock, and this demand has increased with the development of air traffic. In eastern and central Oregon are vast stands of pine, and in the Klamath basin the ad vent of two transcontinental rail roads has opened up one of the greatest pine lumber manufactur ing' wtstricts in the country. Beau tiful myrtle wood, which is found elsewhere only in Palestine, grows in southwestern Oregon. Heavy stands of spruce, hemlock, fir and poplar, combined with an ample supply of pure soft water, guaran tee tho expansion of the paper pulp manufacturing industry which is already well established. No appreciable inroads have been made on our timber, and with a constructive policy of conserva tion and reforestation, lumber will be a permanent source of great welath for Oregon. Great In Agriculture East of the Cascade mountains are the vast fields which last year produced 25,000,009 bushels of wheat. There, too, are broad ranges for the great herds which make Oregon a leader in the live stock industrv and one of the 'orcmost wool producing states in the nation. Favored by a long growing sea son of 200 to 210 days, we have a liversity of farm products which' safeguards us against the ills of agricultural communitiee which are confined to limited crops. In various sections of the state are grown such specialties as walnuts und filberts, strawberries and lo ganberries, lettuce, celery, brocco li and onlon3, figs, cranberries, grapes, apricota, and peppermint. Among the important crops which help to brins the annual value of Qregon agricultural produce up to $175,000,000 are hay. oats, bar ley, alfalfa and potatoes. Oregon 's famous for apples, pears, cher ries, prunes and hops. More than 50 canneries in the state last year 'urned out $16,000,000 worth of Oregon fruit and vegetables for shipment all over the world. Flax which is raised there is equal to he best produced in Ireland and Belgium. European mills are isking for Oregon fibre and last year we shipped zi tons to ire land, England and Scotland. Two flax mills in the Willamette val ley are a nucleus for what will develop into a very important in dustry. Other Great Wealth Conditions are favorable for poultry production, and shipment's! of eggs go to the east and Kut-. ope by means of refrigerator cars and steamers. Dairying flourish es in southern and western Ore gon, where the grass is green the year around, and cheese made in our coast counties has won high awards in national contests. The state is a leader in the develop ment of pure bred livestock. Ore gon Jersey cows hold the world's butterfat production records in a majority of divisions and Oregon has produced 12 of the 30 gold medal bulls of this breed. From the Columbia are caught the fin est salmon in the world. The pack for 1926 had a value of over 16.000,000. Oregon's mineral resources in clude gold, silver, copper, iron, platinum and mercury. In the non-metallic line we have clay for general ceramic work, lime gypsum, coal,, sand and gravel for concrete. Much Portland cement is manufactured. Quicksilver raining and 6melting have been started and copper is produced in eastern Oregon. And Our Manufacture From an industrial standpoint, Oregon is in a transition period between the consumer seetion and the field of production. We are beginning to take the place that is rightfully oun by reason of ac cessible raw material and abund W. W. ROREBRA UGH COMPANY Manufacturer of Warm Air Furnaces.

Eighty nation ally distributed products are now bsing manufactured in Oregon. Portland is the second largest primary wool market in the Unit ed States. In' the state are seven large woolen mills, one worsted mill, the only one in the west, and knitwear mills from which the output is widely known. Woolen fabrics and products of woolen goods, machinery, remanu factured lumber products such as doors and ready cut houses, ven Mra nhinrlesfurniturc. store fix tures, condensed milk and cheese I and a variety of miscellaneous items are included in the nation ally advertised commodities now being manufactured. There are in the state about five thousand manufacturing pianis. including saw mills. Exclusive of saw mills, which are scattered all over the state, the greater portion of the manufacturing is centralised in the metropolitan areas, Port land, with its 1200 plants produc ing S250.00O.000 worth of goods annually, and disbursing $55. 000,000 in annual payrolls among 40,000 employes. The world is entering an era when electrical power will be ap plied to every branch of industry, commerce and transportation. Ore gon has one-sixth of the potential hydro-electric power of the United States, most of it undeveloped, which means immeasurable indus trial possibilities for the future. And Our Transportation Strategically located at the con fluence of two great navigable rivers, the Willamette and the Columbia, wliere a water grade route is a guarantee of lower freight rates, Portland's excellent fresh water harbor makes her the key port for that vast inland em pire, the Columbia Basin terri tory. Connecting the port with the Pacific ocean at Astoria is a chan nel 300 feet wide, with a mini mum depth of 30 feet. The federal and local governments have spent nearly 50 million dollars on im provement of the waterway to the sea and in the construction and equipment of the modern wharves, docks and elevators necessary for the maintenance of a port of the first importance. A brief glimpse of the shipping situation at the port of Portland will give a pic ture of the whole state's produc tivity. Portland i3 the leading lumber export city of the world. It leads j all other ports in the United States j in the exportation of American! grown wheat, and in flour it is among the leading exporters. The port is second only to New York City in the shipment of apples.! and canid goods movo from there to all the civilized nations of the globe. Other products shipped are eggs, prunes, flax, peppermint oil, iron and steel products, copper slabs, zinc, furniture, doors and windows and hundreds of manu factured articles destined for the Orient or coastal regions. Where six steamship lines served the pori a few years ago, now there are 5 6 established lines which connect with four transcontinental rail roads. Exports from Portland to foreign countries have nearly dou bled in value in the past three years. Last year the harbor clear ed 1679 ocean going vessels car rying tonnage of 5,110,000 to all the markets of the world. 35,000 People in 23 Years During my lifetime the popula tion of Oregon has expanded from 40,000 to one million people, mul tiplying itself more than 20 times. I am ready, therefore, to believe that they are not dreamers but seers who foretell a population of thirty-five million people on the Pacific slope within the next 25 years. Heretofore the active thea ter of commerce and trade has been in the Atlantic and Mediter ranean. Now Asia, that continent of tremendous distances, vast hu man resources and potential nat ural wealth almost unbelievable in extent, is at the beginning of a GIDEON STOI CO.
