Crown Point On This Day In Oregon

"The whole world knows that the Columbia River Highway is open. If it doesn't, it ought to, for the formal opening was proclaimed to the universe yesterday. The ceremonies were elaborate and colorful.

"A queen was crowned. Notables unnumbered were in attendance. The Royal Rosarian Band played. Speeches were delivered. And, as a finale, President Wilson touched a button in the White House and a flag was unfurled on Crown Point."
