November 12, 1981 Close to Just seven miles south of Walla Walla, Washington travelers on U.S. Highway 12 will see a large brown sign which reads "Whitman Mission. Natural Historic Site." Turning past the sign and perhaps a half mile east, one will find a small unobtrusive building surrounded by neatly trimmed lawn ana a carefufly tended parklike setting. One will even rind the millpond filled with hungry ducks and plenty of tables for a picnic. It was here in this parklike setting that a place called "the mission at Waiilatpu,"(as the mission was once called) was established in 1836 by a young doctor and his bride, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman. Waiilatpu meant "place of the people of the rye grass" and originally was in the territory of the Cayuse Indians. As emigrants began moving across the plains into the Pacific Northwest during the 1840's, the mission at Waiilatpu also became an important station on the Oregon Trail. An early exploration trip by Dr. Whitman and the Rev. Samuel Parker in 1835 helped to select mission sites in the Oregon country. In February of 1836 Marcus and Narcissa Whitman were married and soon afterward they and Henry and Eliza Spalding, with William Gray, headed westward in covered wagons. What made this journal a notable one was that Narcissa Whitman and Eliza Spalding were the first white women to cross the continent overland.

The two women quickly became Rood friends, nllhounh they were reportedly opposites in personality. Narcissa was said to be a pretty blonde who wits playful and hubbley, which miiiht explain why Henry Spalding had once fallen in love with her and proposed marriage. Klia was known as n small quiet brunette, extremely devout in her religion. The party of five reached the Columbia River on Sept. 1. 1836 where they were to select their mission stations at Fort Vancouver, The Whitmans settled anions the Cayuse at Waiilatpu and the Spaldings opened their mission amontf the No. Perce at Lapwaii, 110 miles east. The two couples learned the Indian languages and devised an alphabet. Spalding printed books in Nez Perce and Spokan on a press brought to Lapwal in IBM. The visitor, center located near the mission site of Waiilatpu contains examples of Spalding's printwork and a book of Matthew written in Nez Perce. Marcus Whitman also attempted to teach the Cayuse how to farm, but with little success. The Cayuse were a nomadic Indian. As the Waiilatpu mission slowly expanded along the Walla Walla River. Marcus constructed a larger mission house, a gristmill, sawmill, and a blacksmith shop. He built homes for his family as they became more established. One of the houses later served as an "emigrant house'1 for weary travelers passing through. Soon the mission became a regular stopping point for wagons traveling on the Oregon Trail It was one of these wagons which brought seven Sager children in 184-1 who were orphaned during their trek eastward. Marcus and Narcissa Whitman took the children into their family gladly, for they were still feeling the loss or their only child, a daughter who had drowned a few years before, -to be continued- PUBLIC NOTICES NATIONAL FOREST TIMBER TO BE SOLD.

Persons interested in money (who isn't) can learn much from the many coins and bills contributed through the years to the museum's display. The most recent contribution, fourteen small paper bills, all look and feel old but are careful reproductions which I bought at Williamsburg, Vir ginia, and contributed to the county museum with the thought that school children and other students of history could learn from them. The shortage of coins In Colonial America seriously hindered the conduct of busi ness. Few British coins reach ed the colonies, but colonial shipmasters brought In var ious foreign monies. The most common money in circulation in early America was the Spanish milled dollar. Its value varied from colony to colony. To overcome this serious handicap to business, paper money was issued by the individual colonies. (Kid denominations were frequent ly printed because of the lack of small change. Many bills were not printed on the reverse side. In order to discourage counterfeiting, each bill was usually number ed and was signed individually bv bund m i i i 3 i i i k n v i rv i .111 HIM Lfeiii jm3 ill ttMrV jJ C - . , , . , orrow Grain Growers lexington 9891221 , Much of the coat of the Revolutionary War was met by the Issuance of paper ' currency. Over two hundred and fifty million dollars In paper curency was issued by the Continental Congress, and about two hundred million dollars was Issued by state governments. The rapid depreciation of this paper money led to the well-known phrase "not worth a continental."
