Celebrate 1934 Centenary
Time Is Only Four Years Away, and Men and the Events
Merit Monumental Attention. 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

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.'

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

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

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

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. Ten strenuous years
were given to this work, while
enduring all as a good soldier.

Oregon has not built a memorial

contemplation. . Such wou'd be
an hour of inspiration, uplifting,

would Inculcate In tbe visitor, a
better appreciation of Oregon and
her people. A loftier pen than
mine has, written, "The immortal

pierce the night 11 k stars, and
with persistence urge man's
