Abstract

First release: "Repeating the historical trek of Oregon's pioneers, the 'On to Oregon Cavalcade' this year is making a covered wagon trip from Independence, Missouri, to Independence, Oregon, to mark Oregon's 100th year as a State. As the attention of the nation focuses on the train's progress at the estimated rate of 20-miles per day, it is hoped that interest will also be created in the Oregon Centennial Exposition, which will be in progress from June 10th through September 17th." And the second: "Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon Wednesday invited officials and members of Indian tribes from all over North America to the National Indian Encampment at Pendleton, Ore. He sent letters of invitation to tribal chiefs and heads of Indian agencies in the United States, Canada and the Yukon Territory. The Pendleton encampment will be party of the statewide Oregon Centennial observance."
