The Trail Led West
The idea planted by John Ledyard
in 1784 and Gray’s discovery of the
Great River of the West inspired
Thomas Jefferson, President of the
United States, to send Lewis and
Clark in 1804 on an expedition and
research into the far Northwest. The
trail led up the Missouri, across the
Rockies and down to the Clearwater*
and Snake rivers. They lived off tlx-
country as they beat their way west-
ward. Their main sustenance was
salmon, horse and dog meat, sup-
plemented by herbs and roots. The
Columbia was reached, near the
present Pasco, Washington, on Octo
ber 16, 1805 As they descended the
Columbia, they gave names to the
various streams and landmarks. They
called the John Day, Lepage’s river:

House bill No. 315, introduced by
the committee on assessment and tax
ation but in reality a measure which
was drafted by the state tax commis
sion, takes a real sock at .all classes
of farmers. As the taw now stands,
farm crops are assessed at their true
cash value as of January 1 each year
and provides that many classes o(
crops shall not be assessed if they
were actually sold, warehoused or in
transit on or before April 30 at the
assessment year. The amended bill, If
passed, would deprive the farmer of
the April 30 deadline to sell or trans
port his crops and change that date
to January 1. Since Washington has
a taw similar to the present Oregon
law, adoption of the proposed bill
would result in diverting shipment
of targe quantities of farm and or
chard products from Oregon to Wash
ington ports. Another argument be
ing urged against H. B 315 is the
fact that government crop loans,
generally, are due in,April or May
and farmers have been advised to
hold their grain until that time Com-
impose an added tax burden on the
fanner.
