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-

Michael Simmons and eight
others of his party including
G. W. 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.

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.

Defective Foot Brake
A district court trial has teen
set for 2 p.m. on March 21 on a

burg, pleaded innocent to the

ment. The charge, made on Feb.
25, involves a truck he was oper
ating while traveling on McAn
drews rd.
Dawson was released on his
own recognizance, officials said.

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
