Okinawa Readies
Exhibit at Fair
Portland - (UPD - Okinawa
Monday began putting up an
exhibit at the Centennial Ex- i
position's International Trade
Fair.
Okinawa, 24th nation to ex
hibit at the Fair, will show
the famed Ryukyu lacquer
ware, textiles and ceramics,
and a collection of preserved
marine animals and crusta
ceans. -
Marge Alexander, -coordinator
of the Fair, said now that
the wholesale buying is over
"and we have a chance to
catch our breath, we are go
ing to do a job of rearranging
and housecleaning."
Portland hotel and motel
operators said there are plen
ty of housing accommodations
available in Portland for visi
tors to the Exposition and
Trade Fair.
They expressed fear that
' "erroneous reports" that ho
tel and motel space was scarce
in Portland might have dis
couraged some residents in
other Oregon communities
from coming to the Exposi
tion. They said that last week
end, eight major hotels in
Portland reported 900 vacan
cies. Hotel and motel spokesmen
met Monday at the Chamber
of Commerce Visitors Infor
mation Center to plan a pub
licity campaign concerning
the housing situation.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
The On -to -Oregon Caval
cade, following the historic
pioneer trail, is encountering
some of the hardships of the
early day travelers.
Two members of the wagon
train company have become
ilL A Sheridan (Ore.) woman
had to leave the train be
cause of an asthmatic condi
tion. Weaver Clark of Hills
boro, oldest member of the
group, suffered from tick fe
ver, but is able to continue.
While members of the group
can be transported quickly to
modern medical facilities if
the need arises, some of their
experiences indicate the haz
ards of travel a century ago.
rpHAT calls up memories.
A Many years ago, not far
from Bend on the highway to
Burns, there was a pathetic
little gross, surrounded by a
pathetic little fence. The wood
of the cross was aged and
weathered, as was the wood of
the fence. Somehow it all
seemed to speak, and speak
eloquently, of tragedy - trag
edy and pathos.
I wondered about it when
ever f passed it. It must have
a story. It just couldn't help
having a story. Eventually,
the story was told to me by a
Mr. Bushnell, who was- a mem
ber of what is known in pio
neer tradition as the Lost
Wagon Train, which chose the
route across Central Oregon
and crossed the Cascades by
what was later known as the
Old Military Road, which led
past Summit lake to the head
waters of the South Fork of
the Willamette.
THIS is the story he, told:
In the train was a
young woman a young
mother. Somewhere in the vi
cinity of old Fort Hall, she
fell ill. There were no doctors
in the train 03 ANYWHERE
in the wide West within
reach.
She grew weaker and weak
er. But she was sustained by
a flaming hope - the hope that
before the dark angel of death
overtook her she might reach
the green valleys of Oregon
and see her family settled in
the Promised Land.
In the slow course of ox
team travel, the train reached
the lovely meadows of the up
per Deschutes, at what came
to be known among its mem
bers as Farewell Bend, from
which the town of Bend takes
its name.
The young mother was fail
ing fast. The members of the
train knew she couldn't live
much longer. So they made
camp. There were two reasons
for pausing in their journey.
One was to pasture their
stock, which was gaunted by
long miles of desert travel, on
the lush grass of Farewell
Bend. The other was to wait
for the inevitable in the case
of the young mother, whose
courage and resolution to live
to the. journey's end had so
endeared her to them all.
The end wasn't long in com
ing. They gave her a simple
funeral, standing there in the
high desert, their heads bared
and tears streaming down
their sun-tanned and weather
beaten cheeks. For her, it was
Farewell Bend indeed - fare
well to her hope of a new
home in the green valleys of
the land of the setting sun.
mHEY laid her away beneath
A a juniper tree, and over
her grave - carefully protect
ed by rocks to fend off -the
scavenging coyotes they
erected a simple little cross
and around it they built a
rude fence. Then,, sadly, they
took up their journey again.
That, as Mr. Bushnell told
it to me in his late 80's - his
voice breaking a bit and mois
ture welling up in his eyes
after all the years - is the
tale. The little cross and the
little fence that until a decade
or so ago cduld be seen be
side the Bend-Burns highway
may not have been hers.
But it could have been.
I SUPPOSE there are hard
ships in the wagon train
that is retracing the route of
the Great Migration that built
our West.
But there were grimmer
hardships in those long-ago
days when the West was
young.
The first national tennis
championship matches were
held at the Newport, R. I., Ca
sino in 1881.
