WOFTfElYoODS, IIH STEVEHS Man of Color ... George Washington Bush was a man of means and notable skills. He had grown to man hood as a free person of color in Pennsylvania. Moving to Mis souri, he became a well-to-do farmer and cattle feeder. Then a new state law banish ed all free Negroes from Mis souri. The Bush family sold out in 1844 and began to look to the Oregon Country as a sanctuary. They met the Simmons party of pioneers on the way west and were welcomed. Cholera struck the Simmons party on the Oregon Trail. The Bush family escaped it. Bush himself was something of a phy sician and his wagon was stock ed with various medicines. He and his wife and the older of their nine children ministered to the sick of the train day and night, and were credited' with saving lives. In the winter of 1844-1845 the Bushes were able to provide food and supplies for the poorer people of the wagon train. Ne groes were barred from Oregon by the provisional government. The people of the Simmons party, to a man, stayed with Bush when he was ordered out because of the epidermoidal bar rier to his entry. The whole party thereupon defied the Hud son's Bay Company and moved north. Washington Settlement ... George Bush's simple hope was to attempt to settle under British rule, as Great Britain had abolished slavey in 1836. And in 1844 Britannia yet ruled the waves and the woods too-r- Bemey's SPECTACULAR SPECIAL PURCHASE!

Bush started the third sawmill enterprise in the Wash ington timber country. This was a waterpower operation at the place by the falls of the Des Chutes which the Indians called Tumwater and which Simmons named New Market. One account tells that it was financed with silver dollars that Bush Tiad brought over the Ore gon Trail in a layer between the true bottom and the false bot tom of a wagon bed. The machinery and saw were procured from Fort Vancouver, like Whitman's sawmill, and shipped around by Puget Sound. The Tumwater mill 'was set up in 1847. "Bush Prairie'," northward from Olympia, keeps the mem ory of George Bush green. There he had another bad time in the early 1950s, when the color of his complexion again put the title of his property in jeopardy which was then, of course, under the laws of the United Slates and Territory of Oregon. The Clincher ... Bush's old comrades of the Oregon Trail, with a number of new neighbors, signed a power ful petition to' Congress, listing the many things he had given and done in service to others. It brought forth an Act of Con gress that permitted George Washigton Bush to : keep the land and his improvements on it by this time the Bush fam ily's all. So the drawing of the color line by the early emigrants south of the Columbia enforced the settlement of Puget Sound territory by a party of Ameri cans and clinched the claim of the United States for all the country south of the 49th paral lel excepting a bend around the southern end of Vancouver Island. George Simpson's men yet held their own below the 49th parallel and on the Columbia river, however, after the land and waters were put under the U.S. flag in 1846 and even after Oregon was made a U.S. terri tory in 1848. The great company owned the posts of defense against the In dians, the stores of supply, the ships, and the weight of estab lished authority. Enterprise re mained the major power of the land. Now it is held by some of his descendants that George Bush, pioneer lumberman and farmer, was not Negroid after all, but a brown Caucasoid of East Indian extraction. In any case, his color made American history in the 1840s. Court Records POLICBf COURT Edwin LeRoy Neeley and Louis Ed ward. Metcaii, reckless driving, each. James Drew Coleman.

Red Cross Provides County With First Aid Instruction (Editor's note: Thii is anoth er of the series of articles about the Red Cross published In The Mail Tribtfae during the annual drive for funds. Based en official Red Cross information, it is submitted daily by the fund drive pub licity committee.) The Red Cross has provided Jackson county with superior first aid and safety instruction. The Red Cross instructors work in local schools, and at Medford High school a first aid certificate is necessary for grad uation. From Red Cross Funds All this first aid service Is sup plied from Red Cross funds. This year's goal of $27,500 in Jackson county must be raised unless these services and all oth ers are to be reduced or elimi nated. The Red Cross first aid chairman in the county is LeRoy Williams of the Medford city fire department. Chapter spokes men say his work is outstand ing, largely due to his experi ence in seeing many lives saved in his work by prompt and well trained personal application of first aid. In 1954, hundreds of lives were saved because someone nearby a family member, a neighbor, teacher, policeman, fellow-worker or passer-by knew what to do in an emergency, knew skills learned in Red Cross first aid and water safety courses. Many Accidents First aiders manning highway stations and mobile first aid units attended an average of more than 200 accidents daily throughout the country last year. In Jackson county seven Red Cross first aid stations are being installed to help protect the public. These are all under the direction and supervision of trained personnel.. , Each year about 100,000 Americans are killed and 10, 000,000 injured in accidents at home, on highways and city streets and at work and play. The' Red Cross safety services are dedicated to a reduction of this tremendous toll.

Roof Store Phone 3-3631 How our 125 "dry holes" last year helped keep you on wheels If you're anything like the average motorist, you'll nee'd about 690 gallons of gasoline to take you where you want to drive this year. And that's just a begin v ning. Keeping you on wheels and supplying you with the thousand and one "oil-born" products so vital to , modern living requires 2 gallons of petroleum a day for every man, woman and child in the U.S. an in crease of 58 since 1941. Helping to keep this oil flowing to you is Standard Oil Company of California's ' biggest, most expensive, least predictable job. In fact, we plan to invest $200 million during 1955 alone in exploring for new oil fields and developing existing ones, to help replace the petroleum you'll use. Some 700 times during the year, Standard drillers will start bits spinning. As much as 16,000 feet of pipe may follow the bit before oil is found or the well is aban doned. Either way it's a costly hole: drilling an oil well may run anywhere from $125,000 to over $1 mil lion. And every one is a risk only 1 out of every 9 wells drilled in the United States in a promising but unpr oven area ever turns out to be an oil producer. Yet new sources of oil must be found to keep our nation's abundant supplies from dwindling. Risking "dry holes" is the only way to find them. So the 125 "dry holes" we drilled last year are good evidence of the job Standard does to help keep you on wheels. Stanford plans ahead to serve you better I , " - I nm""'""1"m1ft n"11"'" -- ,- - y ' a .' j : f STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA
