How Buena Vista lost the Capitol
Observer: Buena Vista from a his
torical standpoint, is one of the famous
places in our state. It is commonly
known that Buena Vista, like Eola,
lacked only a few votes of becoming
the capitol of Oregon. When the cau
cus was held and it was found that
Buena Vista was looked upon with so
much tavor hy th delegates, Corvallis,
fearful for her own commercial supre
macy, headed off her near neighbor by
throwing all of her votes to Salem.
Another influence which Is said to
have worked against Buena Vista in the
race was the site for the capitol build
ing. Reason B. Hall, rhe owner of the
large hill and adjoining ground near
the town, wanted $30,000 for his prop
erty, not being willing to give it away.
The owner of the proposed capitol site
in Salem asked but $1 for his land.
The result was the vote showed this
free site proposition to be a winner.
Had Buena Vista won, the site would
have been even more beautiful than the
one now occupied by the state building.
It is a large hill, sloping in every di
rection, and the view from there is
magnificent, commanding the river, the
litis beyond, and the entire surrounding
valley.
