A number of prominent men

"Pioneer Oresron"
Recalled by Eddy
Following the reception the leg
islators marched to the lower ro
tunda of the capitol, where they
listened to an address, "Pioneer
Oregon," by - Senator Eddy of
Douglas county.
"The story of the Oregon coun
try." said Senator Eddy, "Is linked
with the names of men whose
achievements stand out upon the
pages of history. Beginning with
that eminent navigator. Captain
Gray, who sailed Into the Colum
bia river in 1792. we have later
the Lewis and Clark expedition
sent, out by President Jefferson.
There was another expedition sent
out by John Jacob Astor, for
whom Astoria was named.
"Linked with our early history
also Is the fame of Dr. John Mc
Loughlin, representative of the
Hudson's Bay company, but the
kind and effective friend of the
American settler. Abraham Lin
coln was offered by President Tay
lor, the territorial governorship,
but declined It. t
"Our political fortune.'were for
t certain period linked with the
Cause of slavery. For a time many
eltnzens were opposed to state
hood, but when they learned that
there was danger that, the pro
slavery administration at Wash
ington would probably endeavor
to plant slavery In all American
territories, they desired statehood
and liberty. The question of hold
ing a convention and adopting a
constitution and seeking admis
sion to the union was several
times defeated at 'the polls. But
seventy years agx today Oregon
became a state, a free arfd a
strong supporter of the union, and
of the conetltution of the United
States. i
"It Is noteworthy that when the
constitutional convention met in
1857 to frame the constitution nn-J
der which Oregon was to be ad
mitted to the union, Just 70 years
had elapsed since the writing' of
our national constitution, and the
same period of time has elapsed
since our Oregon constitution be
came effective. Therefore tne
framers of the Oregon constitu
tion stood midway between the
framing of the national constitu
tion and our day.

served to the crowd by a bevy of
