Oregon Sculptors'
Work to Stand in
Halls of Washington
'The fact that the Oregon ter
ritory became a part of the Uni
ted States by neither purchase
nor battle, gives it a unique his
tory," Dr. Burt Brown Barker,
chairman of the Oregon Statu
ary Legislative committee, said
in discussing the committee's
activities. "As late as 1834 and
1840 the United States congress
had no conception, of the pos
sibilities' of the Oregon country
industrially, economically, or
politically.-
"Settlement was nonchalantly
left to England and the United
States and in an agreement be
tween the countries it was to
belong to whichever country set
tled it first," Dr. Barker explain
ed. At that time the Oregon coun
try included all of the state of
Washington, Oregon, the west-j
ern part of British Columbia,
Idaho and parts of Wyoming.
"That is the background of
why the members of the statu
ary committee selected Rev. Ja
son Lee, Methodist missionary
to the Oregon country, as a cit
izen to represent Oregon in Stat
uary hall in Washington, D. C.
After visiting the Oregon coun
try and realizing its possibili
ties, Lee met with members of
congress and urged them to set
tle this great country," Dr. Bar
ker declared.
Dr. John McLoughlin, a mem
ber of the Hudson Bay fur trad
ing company, was selected as
the other citizen to represent
Oregon in the monumental hall.
A. Phimister Proctor and his
son GifWrd Proctor, both out
standing sculptors, are visiting
in Portland and Salem to work
out details of their program in
executing the statues of the two
Oregon pioneers. They will mo
del their statues from copies of
portraits of the two pioneers,
painted from photographs taken
at the time Rev. Jason Lee and
Dr. John McLoughlin lived.
Members of the Oregon Stat
uary finance committee, respon
sible for collecting funds to fin
ance the project are Floyd W.
Campbell, chairman; Rev. Wil
liam Wallace Youngson, secre
tary; Mrs. E. J. English, Dean
Webster, Judge Charles W. Red
ding, and Mrs. Frank Blum.
