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''

provisional legislature of 1847
which provided for improvement
of the "southern route."
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
