History Society Outlines Views On Trail Naming To State Highway Board Opponents of the name "Ap plegate Trail" for markers to appear along me oia souin emi grant route through southern Oregon will have an opportunity to express their views at a meet ing of the state highway com mission in Portland May 15. The executive board of the Klamath Historical society has authorized Lancaster Pollard, superintendent of the Oregon Historical society, to represent the group, and others may go from here. The issue arose recently when it was learned that Walter Meacham, secretary of the Ore gon council, American Pioneer Trails association, had arranged to have the route marked "Ap- plegate Trail in honor of Jesse and Lindsay Applegate, who were among 15 men who ex plored the southern route of the Oregon trail from western Ore gon to Fort Hall, Idaho, in 1846. Klamath historians objected to using "Applegate trail" and urged rather "Southern Route'' on the basis of an act of the it's lee Cream Time Again! AND I ICE CREAM is ice cream ot its best.

The position of the Klamath Historical society has been stated for the highway commission in a letter from Mrs. Edith McLeod, secretary. The highway commis sion has been asked to make the markers, and therefore the Klam ath group has placed its argu ments before it. Here is Mrs. McLeod's letter, In part: "Since there has been a con siderable amount of discussion on this subject by people who appear to be more interested in creating a contusing controversy rather than sticking to the basic . argument, I wish to re-state the j attitude of the luamatn Histori cal society. The society objects to the "Applegate" appellation on two grounds. First, in the matter of priority of usage this road was historically . established as the "southern route" before the "Ap plegate" version came into the picture. Second, the society feels that it is improper to use the name of any individual as the basis for naming this road since the road was the product of the work of a number of pioneers and not the work of a single in dividual. "At no time do we imply any personal objection to the Apple gates who did much for the ad vancement of Oregon in the tur bulent 40 s. We wish only to keep the state from doing a grave injustice to the memory of a group of pioneers who shared ' equally the burden and danger of establishing the road. "We think that the pioneers involved, if alive today, would all agree with us that the name ' Southern Route is proper and , fitting. We can quote no better ! authority on this subject than Lindsay Applegate, who, in his , memoirs on the south road ex pedition says as follows: 'Cer tain members of the party were singled out to bear the burden of persecution, whereas, if any member of the party was ani mated by improper motives in seeking to open the road, all were equally guilty, as the party was governed in all its proceed ings by a majority vote of its members.' "Thus if all were equally guilty it only follows that all should be equally recognized for the work that they accomplished. And how did these men actually feel amongst themselves towards each other? Lindsay states: 'Per haps few companies of men ever performed such a campaign with out repeated quarrels and serious altercations, but the members of the Old South Road company bore together the trials and pri vations of the expedition with a "forgiving and forebearing" spirit, and their mutual burdens and dangers to which they were FOR BACKSEAT DRIVERS SALT LAKE CITY, May 8 iP) Traffic Policeman J.

Attorney Booth McAbee began arguing with the judge. "Ten dollars for contempt of court." said Justice of the Peace Paul Elwell. "Ton dollars would not be gin to express my contempt of this court," snapped McAbec. "Fifty dollars," said the jus tice. The attorney was silent. all exposed continuully de veloped and strengthened their friendships.' "Yes, we feel that these men who made the Southern Route possible would much prefer that the name of their choosing would be far more suitable than any romantic title that we, citizens of Oregon today, might apply."
