It is with a sad note, however, that in the year 1970 we have to record the loss of several of our friends, fellow collectors and contributors to the success of our Society -- A. Jay Hertz, Harry Gray, William R. Parker, and others. They will be missed no matter how large or small their contributions. Looking to the future, we still see "Western Express" alive and vibrant, stimulat­ ing both to the reader and to the authors who prepare the material. Our Editor, Mel Nathan, maintains a watchful eye over all published material so that quality re­ mains paramount. A Society such as ours, from a membership standpoint, has to have a built-in re­ generative process. This is an opportunity for me to remind all of our members to keep this in mind and to constantly seek out new members, "spread the word" about our activities and try to interest and stimulate those with the "collecting instinct" in the romance of Western Covers. We hope that as the new year runs its course our members will share with others new and interesting information unearthed about Western Covers and the stories be ­ hind them. I have appointed members to the various standing committees for the coming term. My best wishes to all of you in the coming year. BASIL C. PEARCE WESTERN EXPRESS - JANUARY 1971 Page 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDITOR' S CORNER We take this opportunity to welcome three new members to the Board of Directors . They are Creighton C . Hart, one of the guiding lights of the Classic Society; David L. Jarrett, a young a nd enthusiastic writer, who should bring much life to the board; and John 0 . Theobald , another knowledgeable writer from the Arizona and New Mexico country. We hope that with the addition of their counsel we will continue to grow and become more useful in the field of western cover collecting. We again wish to remind you of the services of our Expertising Committee . It is ready and willing to give opinions on western covers for only the cost of registering the covers both ways , to and from Dr. Polland , the committee chairman. We are happy to report that Western Express received a bronze award for literature at the annual American Philatelic Society convention in Honolulu last fall, yet this should not satisfy us . A first or even grand award should be our goal. All we need to do the job is a supply of good research articles with glossy pictures. We have ca­ pable members who furnish articles to journals that have little interest i n westerns . We want and badly need the best articles - nothing less will ever put us on top. It is very disheartening to see good articles go elsewhere . * * * * * * * * * * MEMBERSHIP CHANGES NEW MEMBER #542 SamuelS. Arlen , 211 E. 43rd St., New York , N.

Scott Polland , M • D • W. L. "Nick of the Woods" Pritchard believed in advertising. Starting in the express business in the late 1860's at Elko, Nevada, he soon moved to Palisade, where he had more than 500 wagons and 2, 000 animals hauling supplies as far south as Pioche via Mineral Hill 1 Eureka and Hamilton. With the coming of the Central Pacific Railroad, followed by the development of the White Pine mines as well as the Mineral Hill and Eureka mining districts 1 Palisade became a prominent rail head for the deposits of ore. Situated on the Humboldt River at the west end of Twelve Mile Canyon 1 about ten miles west from Carlin, it was once a very active town and gained a national reputation for staging fake gun battles and Indian attacks for the benefit of the Overland Limited train 1 as it stopped there for refueling and water. Today it is practically a ghost town 1 and a junction of the Southern Pacific Railroad and We stern Pacific Railroad, and where the shops of the Eureka and Palisade Railroad once stood. Pritchard had a good thing going with his freighting, charging $40.00 a ton for sup­ plies to the mines and $20.00 a ton for the ore carried back to Palisade. In 1873 the Eureka-Palisade Railroad was incorporated. Pritchard's teams had practically laid the proposed road bed, and he obtained the job of building it. It is said he employed fifty-eight white men 1 and more than one hundred chinamen. Mter two years the road had reached Alpha, thirty-eight miles from Eureka and there Pritchard suspended operations, as he said for the winter. Rumors were that he did not intend to build further and this seems to be true, as he began to develop the town of Alpha. The mining interests protested to the owners of the railroad and work was soon restarted. Pritchard soon realized he was finished and sold his stage and freight lines 1 and retired from the Nevada scene. In the Robert A. Hanson collection of Nevada covers is a remarkable group of Pritchard covers . Illustration il is a printed frank on a U58, used while Pritchard was working in Elko I and is quite rare. I have seen one like it (Basil Pearce col­ lection) which also had on it the Pritchard hand stamp. Illustrations iii to VIII on U82 envelopes are all different lithographed illustrated covers 1 advertising his business in no uncertain and dramatic terms. Illustrations II and III are printed alike, but the colors are different. Pritchard, I believe, really believed in adver­ tising.

  • Yamhill County Road Names
    Yamhill County Road Names By Dan Linscheid Dedication This booklet is dedicated to the memory of Ruth Stoller, first historian of the Yamhill County Historical Society. (October 26, 1915 – May 23, 1994) PREFACE In December 1983, the Yamhill County Rural Addressing Project Study Committee issued a proposal for a new addressing system for all rural residents. The then Yamhill County Commissioner, Dave Bishop, coordinated this effort. Many county roads, referred to only by number, required research and citizen input so that appropriate names could be assigned. This was ten years ago; so I thought people might be interested in the origins of the names in our county road system. In 1984, I was chosen to coordinate the road naming process working closely with the Yamhill County Historical Society in seeking roots and interesting tidbits about pioneers after which many of our roads are named. While the initially proposed names of many roads were derived from names of area pioneers, in many cases, appeals by affected property owners resulted in changes. The author has tried to give the reader some idea of the location of the road before describing its origins. Also included are anecdotal information or other historical data received during the naming process. When the County Courthouse in Lafayette burned down in January of 1857, all road records were lost. Some Road Supervisors were afraid to improve or maintain their roads for fear the roads had lost their legal status due to the fire. This explains the hundreds of road creation proceedings recorded within the first several years of Commissioner's Journals beginning in February of 1857.

  • Transportation Plans
    Yamhill County is a rural county located in the northwest part of the Willamette Valley and is bounded by the Willamette River on the east and the coast range on the west. Yamhill County population has more than doubled over the past 54 year period. The population of the County is estimated at 72,800 (1994 estimate) with 70% of the population living in incorporated areas. Its 718 square miles include 10 incorporated cities, with McMinnville and Newberg both over 10,000 in population. The road system consists of a combination of quiet rural routes, city streets, and busy state highways. The existing State Highway System connects with the State Capitol in Salem, the Portland Metropolitan Area, and the Oregon Coast. Yamhill County is served by state highways 99W and 18 corridors to Portland and Lincoln City, Highway 47 to the north, Highway 219 to Salem and Hillsboro, and Highway 99W and 221 to the south. These highways also bring thousands of tourists each year through Yamhill County on their way to the Oregon Coast. Yamhill County attractions include two colleges; a destination resort; a proposed aeronautic museum; numerous state, city, and county parks; two monasteries; National Register Historic Landmarks; Wheatland Ferry crossing the Willamette River; numerous vineyards and wineries; and large natural recreation areas under the National Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. Yamhill County is also the location of a Federal Correction Facility. Located in the Mid-Willamette Valley, Yamhill County abounds with produce and agricultural products.
