I desire to add just a word of historical data which seems appropriate. Oregon and Missouri are historically linked together upon the subject of good roads. It was from Missouri. then the western frontier of the Nation. that a band of heroic men and women set out In 1843 for Oregon. It was due to that courageous band of emigrants that the first wagon crossed the continent to the Pacific Ocean. It was the Applegates. the Waldos. the Nesmiths. and the Burnetts of Missouri. with the martyred Dr. Marcus Whitman. who blazed the way and laid out the pioneer wagon trail. thus becoming the actual pathfinders in advance of Fremont.
