ITINERARY OF I C0LUMBIA RIVER SPECIAL I VIa GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY The Columbia River Historical Expedition of 1926

Foreword When tht vigorous, unruly British colonies along tht Atlantic wtrt dularing thtmulvu a fru and independent statt; when Amtrican savages had knelt for a untury or mort to mission btlls in California; when French and British fur traders had threaded the wilderness from the St. Lawrence to the Saskatchewan and the upper Missouri, from Hud­ son's Bay to the Arctic Ocean, the Oregon country was still undiscovered, a temperate and lovely land of legend, drained by the unknown River of the West, where the straits of Anian-the long-sought Northwest passage­ wtre to be found. But the curious fatality which had hidden Oregon for two hundred years from the wide ranging mariners of the old world was at last to end; its coasts wert discovered and explored. Tht Northwest passagt did not exist, but in 1792 an Englishman found tht straits of ]uatt de Fuca and att Amtrican discovtred tht Rivtr of tht West. Merchantmen bartutd tomahawks for furs, and furs for Canton tea, and circled the globt on thtir tradt tours. llollanders, Sandwich Islanders, Spaniards, Frenchmen, British and Ya1lkeu arrived yearly on white-winged ships. The coasts wtre charted, the uaso?t's trade carried on, and thm tht glimmering sails dipped below tht horir.on lear~ing tht wildtrness to its immtmorial possessors. Not by ua, howevtr, but ovtrland across tht continmt the occupying army was to comt. By tht hutoric Oregon trail; up the Missouri, across tht great central plains dark with their grazing myriads of buffalo; down tht Columbia, thickly lined with the rush houses of its busy fisher ptople, alive with silver-bellitd salmon, tumultuous with waterfalls and splendid with crowdtd pi?tu and towering mountain peaks; by the rain­ bow-watertd Kootenai, camt tht men who led where tht population of half a continent has followtd. Somt have achieved their due measurt of acclaim; othtrs have bun overlooked in the forward march of our hurrying civilization,· all have written tht romance of their daring adventure into the story of 'tht Northwest. As tht achievemmts of the Vtrendryes, Gray, Lewis and Clark, tht Astorians, David Thompson, and all the htroic company of missionaries, fur traders, and pionurs who gavt us Oregon reuivt the accolade of time, they takt an roer more significant piau in the history and conquest of Amtrica. GRACE FLANDRAU. The Columbia River HistoricalExpedi ti

SPECIAL MusEUM CAR In an attempt to visualize the West of the days when explorer, fur trader, and Indian roamed the plains and mountains, a collection of articles illustrating the past has been assembled from the historical societies of the Northwest under the direction of Willoughby M. Bab­ cock, Curator of the Minnesota Historical Society Museum, and placed on exhibition on the Columbia River Special train.

THE HIGH SCHOOL ORATORICAL CONTEST WINNERS

CoNDUCTED UNDER THE AuSPICES OF THE FRANco-AMERICAN BRANCH OF THE AMERICAN Goon WILL AssociATION An important feature of the Columbia River Historical Expedition is the special membership unit comprised of students from a number of high schools throughout the United States who will study the territory to be covered from the standpoint of the contributions made to its development by the French pioneers. These students have been chosen through a series of oratorical contests that were conducted in the high schools of several cities under the auspices of the local committees representing the Franco­ American Branch of the American Good Will Association. Mr. Lawrence F. Abbott, contributing editor of the "Outlook," is president of the Franco-American Branch of the American Good Will Association. Mrs. Anne Murray Dyke, of Paris, and Mr. Rouget de Lisle Jenkins, of New York, are vice-presidents. Miss Anne Morgan is chairman of the Executive Committee. This organization, which has its national headquarters at 50 East 42nd Street, New York City, is educational in character and national in membership. Its program is designed to further knowl­ edge and understanding between the people of the United States and the people of France. The oratorical contest study of "The French Pioneers in America" has been an important part of its program for this year. In the past the winners of these contests have been given a trip to France to study the homeland of these famous men who have done so much in the development of America, but this year it was decided to take these student winners through the Northwest, the scene of the endeavors of Radisson, Marquette, Hennepin, Verendrye and a host of other early French Pioneers. To join with their American contemporaries in this study of the work of the early French explorers, traders and missionaries, a group of five French students of corresponding school age have come from France. ~he ColumbiaRiver Historica!Expedi tioU
