First Presbyterian -church In Ashland
offered prayer.
"The Heavens Are Telling" was
sung by the choir, accompanied by
the band.
Rev. Sidney Hall of the Ashland
FirBt Methodist church then intro
riiiPArf nr. Pereuson. who said that
he would emphasize the women of
Oregon In his talk. He mentioned
Eve. nachel, Ruth and Solomon's
nrnverhtt about women, in the Bible,
but said there were many, not all
of the pre-historlc era, who had been
niit.st.nn dine.
"I firmly believe Oregon Is the
greatest state In the Union, Rev. Fer
gson Bald. "I had the privilege of
nominating Julius Meier at the In
dependent convention in Portland. I
have no regrets, but I'm glad he's go
ing to retire."
Pioneers of Sturdy Stock
He spoke of the enterprise and the
audacity of the people who resided
on the Clyde river in Scotland and,
who built the ship, the Columbia.
He referred to the two -men who re
turned to Europe on consultation
concerning the Louisiana purchase,
saying such people were characteris
tic of Oregon's early settlers.
"Then came Lewis and Clark, show
ing the audacity of the American
engineers in the military department,
and giving life to the story that
only Jack rabbits and sageorusn couia
live In the west."
He went on to tell of the Astoria
settlement where the salt cairns are
located, and, being president of the
chamber of commerce in that city,
Invited his listeners to come to As
toria to view the great calms.
Guest of Astor
"In 1881, John Jacob Astor came
to Oregon," and Rev. Ferguson re
called being the guest of Lord and
Lady ABtor in London two years ago,
"I felt that, through them, I had a
direct connection with John Jacob
Astor; who founded the city of As
toria."
Sacajawea, the Indian maiden who
led the Lewis and Clark expedition,
was also mentioned, and Dr. Fergu
son told of the seamanship, the ex
ploration and the development of
commerce by the people of that time
who came to this territory.
Pioneers of the religious world were
also taken into consideration, and
the Methodist, Presbyterian, Quakers
and Jesuits were among those first
bringing religion to the new coun
try, he said
Oregon Mighty Commonwealth
"Oregon," declared Dr. Ferguson,
"is the mightiest commonwealth in
America. Its expansion Is limitless
beyond computation. If there Is any
pot on the world's surface greater
than the mighty plains of Orogon,
then it is yet to be discovered.
"Everything lies here. Scenery, a
wonderful playground and national
resources, the greatest commonwealth
In America. Limitations of a short
life, the same bearing In all nations
of the world, is the only disadvan
tage. Oregon has given to the world
the greatest men and women that
were ever known.
"There Is none now, with more
audacity and American spirit, and
no women that stand, or can be,
higher than three or four of the type
of Jane Addnms, end the most re
markableHelen Keller."
Tribute to Education
Reference was made to the voting
of the Oregon territory Into the Unit
ed States rather than a part of the
British empire, and the early estab
lishment of schools here. Dr. Fergu
son declared: "There la no tribute
too great to the spirit of education."
He related visiting with Ezra
Meeker, and talking to him about
his trips acre the plains In a cov
ered wacon, then, many years later,
flvlne in an airplane. He paid trib
ute to the man's "indomitable spirit
and courage, which ran In his blood
with a vengeance."
Sneaking of the uncrowned queens,
many of whom are burled In Oregon,
without even markers over their
graves, or the burial places long for
gotten. Rev. Ferguson declared. "Their
name liveth, and their blood runs to
day In the bodies of their descend-1
ants." !
Names Many "Queens"
In his review of "uncrowned
queens," Rev. Ferguson told of the
first white woman to become a wife
and mother in the Oregon country.
She was Anna Maria Plttman Lee,
wife of Jason Lee, who was also the
first white woman to give her body
as well as her life to the atate of
Oregon.
Mrs. Caroline Couch, who came to
Oregon by the Panama route In 1853,
was the first woman to vote in a
school election In the city of Port
land. It Is said that the men re
moved their hats in respect as she
deposited her ballot.
Abigail Scott Duniway is a name
that shines In the Btory of woman's
rights and the fight for right and
equality on the part of women and
mothers In the story of human free
dom," he said, Narclssa Prentiss Whit
man Is another princess of the early
life of the northwest and Oregon,
wife of V$ great Marcus Whitman.
She lost her first baby and became
a mother to all, taking numerous or
phans into her home to care for
them.
Sisters Start Education
"The first permanent work In edu
cation," Dr. Ferguson declared, be
longs to the sisters of the Holy Name
of Jesus and Mary, coming from
Montreal by way of Cape Horn
1869. Mrs. W. H. Gray, with a gifted
voice, was a great worker In the mis
sionary cause of Oregon, and was i
charter member of the Clatsop Plains
church. She is remembered In the
memorial church on Clatsop plains
by the thoughtfulness of her daugh
ter, Mrs. Kamm,
"Dr. Owens Adair was a pioneer in
Oregon and In the medical world, her
teachings slowly being adopted by an
the world."

protest ant world.
Dr. John Porter Powell crossed the
