1899, OR: Pioneer Women Reunite (hey readers, can you help?)
The Portland (OR) Sunday Oregonian of August 20, 1899, page 19, columns 1-2 carries a very interesting, but flawed, source of information about Chinook Jargon.

It’s an article headlined “Pioneer Women Reunite”, and its contents intrigue me — but I can’t read all of them. See how the page image at the Chronicling America website of the Library of Congress (long may it be funded, and available free of charge to us!) is curved up at the left edge:
Reader crowdsourcing challenge: Can we find a fully readable copy of this article?
Same story on Newspapers.com, with a curved page. Genealogybank doesn’t have it, and neither does the Oregon Digital Newspaper database–and if this latter source doesn’t have a copy, then we may have to try microfilm copies, though they likely will be the same. Hard copies might be available at OHS or another state site (Salem, Eugene, Corvallis). But fewer places are retaining hard copies…sigh… Sorry.
