First and Last Governor of Oregon Remembrance
The governor elect visited the tomb of Oregon’s first governor John Whiteaker near this city and witnessed his burial.

It contrasts Lincoln’s era with Oregon’s development and notes the long gap between inaugurations. A Jacksonville Times notice urges farmers to raise horses due to high demand and stable prices, highlighting the revived breeding and potential income gains.
