Says a Writer of Early History Editor Statesman: Too much cannot be said for the early missionaries whom Jas on Lee brought to the1 Oregon country for the dual purpose of carrying the gospel to the Indians and establishing Christian civil ization In the great-northwest. It was the nolicr of the . Hudson Bay company, to keep the coun try In a state of wilderness that a great game preserve might-be maintained for the benefit of the nabobs of Europe. This company knew well that even a semi-civilization would eventually drive the. -furbearlng animals to extinction. Therefore, it is not strange that strenuous efforts -were continually made to cause the outside world to be lieve that agriculture was an im possibility beyond the . Rocky mountains. But independent trappers whom the Hudson Bay company had financially mined by a carefu'lv planned system of boycotting v-bh their manager prosecuted vith mer'-iless preci sion, final! - c-rricrt the truth to the people er of thn Mississippi. And.wher the wail from the Indians for i .ie white man's Book of Heaven reverberated over the very dome of the heavens. thg Methodist church of the United States tuned in and thereby caught a vision of the possibilities of this great expanse of mountain and plain, a veritable empire, where even the outward forms of ChristianHf and civilization were unknown. The whole realm of Methodism was searched for men of brain and brawn, spirit, piety and con secration, willing afld ambitious tianity with the elements of civil ization to the poor, ignorant, un couth and barbarbous inhabitants of the great American Jungle. Only four such men with the necessary qualifications, could be found in all Methodism, who were willing to undertake the gon. The party rented a cabin leav ing Salem on Saturday afternoon and returned late Sunday night. The group was composed of Chemeketaas who Ibok a trip to ML Hood in February and these Chemeketans and their friends re peated the experience as a private enterprise. In the party were: Mr. and Mrs. Richard L. Reimann and son Lenny; Ivy R. Taylor; Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Holman; Priscilla Baumgarten; Sarah E. Ervin; Augusta Notdurft; Elsa Egans: Stanley Vail; R. E. Kittredge. Peter s Adventures 'ALL SAFE" "WITH THE FLOCK FROM THE FROZEN NORTH Drake stared up for a moment. Then he quacked with joy. "Thank goodness, at last the folks are coming!" cried he. "That is the herald that we see, and look after him are follow ing the flock just as fast as they can fly." Sure enough, out of the far off nowhere other specks appeared in tbe sky. and before long they turned into great - black birds. Soon the herald bad come to the edge of the pond, and what a noise he was making. "Whieh. whish; wulsh." " How did he do it, Peter did not know perhaps with his wings but Drake must have recognised the sound as a signal, for .Tight away he started to make tbe same strange noise. "My family are all safe." cried Drake in an aside to the boy, in terpreting what the herala was telling him. "One of tbe children had a bit of trouble with his wing on tbe wy but got over it all right! The northern waters are f reeling! The flock hare not had a square meal in a dayl . Food has been scarce along .the route. My family are anxtoua to lose no time In getting to the mussel beds. A storm Is following close upon their tails!' But why don't your friend come down?" interrupted the boy at last after Drake aad the herald had spent a; lot of time in wig wagging. I should think you could talk thingsrover better face to face." ' "f f "TT . rSo we can, answered; Drake, and that is exactly what we are going lo do, only I in going up where- ho. is instead of him com ing down to mv If. he left the air tho rest of tbe ' flock, would think that ham had come to him' end iwonld fly awajf from this spot., ' .Y.TVV "'-tC -U- tT-';t i;v ' oisJten Hear herald giving the' 'All SafeV algnaL"- J'Whlsshl WbUsh! u - Low .but strong- came the same soondthat Peter $ had beard be fore," end e very ini , ftuek In the floeh-'hnew uite-aawell- Blarth 19, 1929 on task nnder such unfavorable con ditions that were sure to exist In the. sources of supply, and for a mere pittance of .the worth for such . a formidable adventure. The Om Great Leader Only one of these? by nature and . education, was fitted for leadership In sueh a grand and laborious enterprise. Two thous and miles of wilderness was to be traversed and much of that over almost Impassable mountains, swift running rivers to be crossed without bridges or ferries; every species of hardships to be en dured before the base of operation eduld be reached. But all was finally overcome, and the banner of the cross aad the flag of free dom waved over a vast domain larger than that of Caesar, Alex ander or Charlemagne. That great educator, W'lbur Fisk. had called for two young men who possessed the accomp lishments requisite for leadership and mentioned Jason Lee, a former student of his as one such. But no other was found in all Methodism. Jason Lee was so well recommended that he w&s Immediately appointed by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal church, and at his own solicitation. Lee appointed three Christian helpers for a mission and one laborer. As soon as arrangements could be made and supplies could be assembled and their shipment arranged for transportation around tbe Horn, Lee was off fc." his new . field of labor under an experienced gnlde, and with Dan iel Lee. P. L. Edwards, Cyrw Sheppard and Courtney Walker, his associates, he overcame every hindrance and obstacle reaching the Willamette in the fall of 1834. He immediately took up the labors of his great enterprise. Lee proved to be the right man in the right place. Here their work was carried on vlth a reas onable degree of success for ten long, arduous years, until Immi gration indicated that missions would not longer be a dire neces sity in the Oregon country. The missions, together with further acquisition and Immigrations, firmly planted the germs of a wonderful development which has speedily followed. Cage of Sad Neglect Up to tbe present time, the matter of providing memorials to the memories of those who laid the foundations of our great heri tage, has been sadly neglected.' BY M1?S. FlOCtMCE SMITH VIMCENT Drake just exactly what that sig nal meant. It was fun to watch the birds hurrying up. They pushed and shoved and bumped into each othef, and some of those In the rear rose higher and flew over those la front of them; every duck was determined to be the first to greet Drake now that the herald had given the safety signal. CALL FOR HELP "Say, is there any one home In Mr. Muskrat'a house?" cal led Peter, and scarcely had the words left his mouth when weak voice answered; "I am in Mr. Muskrat'a Bouse, but I am not at home. v I wish I were," It said. "I. am not sure how long I shall be here, either, probably all' winter, unless Mr. Muskrat comes home and throws me out. However, what he does will make no difference to me. I shall not know It." Now Peter could not believe his ears. "How could Mr. Muskrat put you out of his house and you not know it!" cried tbe boy. Don't tell me that you can sleep as soundly as all that. Who are you,., anyhow, and what are you doing In there?" "I'm doing nothing. I shall be frozen solid only a few more minutes in this wretched hole, and I ahall never again be able - to move a muscle. I don't know that it will do- any good-to tell yon, but since nothing .matters now you might as well know that I am a Wild Duck. I dovo into Mr Mnskrat's home to hide, , but alas, now that I am'ln I cannot get put!'' , Weaker and' weaker, grew the voice, and now with a last mourn ful "quack" it died away alto gether. - . - "Here, here, don't give up hope like that!" cried the boy. "Cheer up! Maybe I can help you!" : Not a sound came from the hole near the bank.. Peter tried again. "Duck! Oh, Duck!" he. called. "Tell 'me what is the matter with you, so I' will know best what to do. Are yon wounded? Are you ill? Or are yon starring? Per haps if I brought yon something to eat ypu, would feel better." - ''This time there came a faint whisper in reply. - "I am freezing, freeslng!.-'- The ice has sealed me op alive." .. "Then it is up to me to break It and. to Jet yon out. Courage, old chap! I shall bare you free in no time."-. - - -v The boy ..wasted no more time in talking but set about his work of rescue in earnest. : ; -Looking about for something to crack the Ice with Peter spied a sharp pointed stick lying upon tbe bank. With a. shout of joy he ran to pick it up and had all be could do to carry it, for now that he. was only as large as a bird bis strength was not so great as when be waeboy else.' However, Peter managed to tug It- down to the edge of the , pool,"" and then how be did hammer that WI -It was much thicker -than he thought, but he kept at lt giving the glassy surface blow after" blow, and it arasn'tlong before tho sharp point f the stick poked a-bole through First Woman Air Cop i-c-' i"" -..-... -"V- "' '' S'' : v. .-..-X- i .--y"1'"-. The first feminine traffic cop of the air is believed to be Mrs. U. S- McQueen, of Beverly Hills. Cal She has been appointed to patrol the ether to see that avia tors flying over the city respect the law specifying a minimum altitude of 1,000 feet and do not stunt their planes. No visible protrayal in -recognition of their virtues and unselfish heroism has been provided ex cept the painting of Lee now in the house of representatives at Salem, and the Circuit Rider monument in Willson park, Ore gon is not keeping up with the trend of the times in this partic ular as are our sister states. Look at Washington's recogni tion of the martyr Marcus Whit man and his associates whose achievements do not favorably compare with those of Jason Lee and his missionaries. Lee gave his life to tbe work and is as much a martyr as though -he were murdered by tbe Indians. Even our offspring, the Idahoians, have long since erected a beautiful shaft to symbolize their love and affection for their beloved George L. Snoop, an honored statesman who did noble work in his adopted state, but his chief dis tinction and greatness lies in his ten years occupancy of a swivel chair in the senate of the United States, or in the luxurious apart ments of the various committee rooms. No doubt Mr. Shoup was a valuable acquisition to the state of Idaho. We would not detract from the value of Mr. Shoup's worthy labors for his etate. But In contrast we do not fail to see the wonderful diffrence between the ease in which he performed his labors and the hard conditions that confronted Jason Lee in his work. One builded an empire, the other helped adjust the law and machinery of a state. A Pathfinder of Progress We see Mr. Lee laying founda tions with raw materials and un tried elements, with no pattern before him, no long established custom to guide him. He must virtually make brick without straw. Again Mr. Lee and his coadjutors were trying to ameli orate the condition of the Inditn and at the same time l-ulld a free state for the Anglo Saxon. It takes but a glance to see that there is no comparison between the accomplishments of the two men, yet Mr. Shoup Is emblematic ally and conspicuously standing where all the world may see and ask "Who was George L. Shoup?" But the far more worthy Jason Lee rests in an obscure grave. Even in the hall of fame are memorials to men whose value to the world was far less than that of Jason Lee. Let me run over a few names whose states have so honored them and while I do so, you who are familiar with their achievements can make the com parison. I would like to make lengthy comments, but space for bids. In the Hall of Fame Governor Pierpont, the first governor of West Virginia, held .that commonwealth in the Union when Virginia seceeded.That was a worthy and a loyal act. But Mr. Lee brought enough territory into the United States to make a dozen such states. ' ..General Lew Wallace has been a; real adjunct to the world, but who would set him before Jason Lee? Still he has one of the most ; beautiful memorials in the whole country. John C. Calboun, son of the state of South Carolina, the groat southern orator, stands conspicu ously in the Hall of Fame. But the world may ask, "Who was Calhoun?" and few will be able to give his history. I find that I shall make this article far too long it I mention more names. But let me say that I have read the encomiums of a dozen or more men who are represented in the Hall of Fame, and am astonished at the merit ocracy of some of : them when compared with Jason Lee and others of the early settlers of Oregon. Jason Lee and the early missionaries ' are to be honored, not ro much for what they aj eomplished. as for what they started and left to others to de velop. ' v ; . Lee preached the first sermon west of tho Rocky mountains; built the first house for worship and the study and teaching of the Scriptures; organlzesd the first church of any denomination; or ganized the first Sunday, school for both Indians and whites In the vast domain; organized the first temperance society from the Mississippi to Bering straits; built the first American flour .mill rnd the first American saw mill; made tbe first telling effort to in duce congress to organize Oregon into a territory: headed th firt orgaUzttIcn to Import Seattle to rtfrv ; 'anwi -.si. .-m ' If 1 ("I til the Oregon country In. order; t- break (he iron clad monopoly cf tbe Hndson Bay -company on cat tle: ' organized the Oregon Insti tute and - built the first r' hnnl between Mexico W Alaska.' ' They Planted, We RP These were the people who planted what we are now reaping. The embryo of nearly every insti tution we have today was Incu bated in th fertile mind of Jason Lee and his associates, John B. Gongh said, "If yon "wish to suc ceed in this world yon must mfce .. your opportunities as you go. The . man who. wait for the seventh wave tp tosabjaj, on the dry land will find tbe: wave a long time, in coming It, was not oppor tunlty tkni.Lee. was hunting. No, It was makinr ooDortunities f or - himself and others to take up. and dfeviophe needs of oucom. ing generations."1' He was not a voice crying .in ' the. wilderness. He was nslng the ax, the hammer and the saw to clear away ti.e wilderness; that the sunshine, of heaven and the beneficence uSr" kind Providence might fruct the flowers of civilization int 4 veruaoie.paxaaise tor ine nui race. ' The missionaries were not re mnstrurtnin. an wern those of a later date. They .were construct ors, making foundations for the superstructures to be built upon. It was given to them to read the future and lay the foundatious accordingly. The counsel of their leader, Jason Lee, was never for anything less than tho most ag gressive action. His very na ture was against halfway mea sures or dilatory actions. When reason led him to a conclusion which was paramount la his mind, naught but long contemplation and correlation of facts coull ef fect a change. For years, Lee led in keeping up a continual agi tation for government, proving himself a thorough statesman, and one of the most self sacri ficing, statesmanlike, heroic men who ever undertook to put over such a gigantic job in the interest, of mankind.
