<P>From the Oregon Historical Quarterly, Vol. 48, p. 345 [1947 - I
believe]:</P>
<P> </P>
<P>"A new six car electrically-propelled ferry boat, Daniel Matheny III,
went into service at the Wheatland ferry crossing of the Willamette River,
on June 11. Daniel Matheny, pioneer of 1843, purchased James
O'Neal's (sic) land claim in 1844, and soon thereafter established regular
ferry service. Lindsay Applegate assisted him in constructing the
first ferry boat, using 'bushel or two of literature he found in the old
house' recently abandoned by the Jason Lee missionary workers at Mission
Bottom.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>On Jan. 1853, the territorial legislature authorized a public road from
Salem to Dayton, crossing the river at Matheny's ferry. For more
than ninety years the service was privately owned and operated and became
a public ferry less than ten years ago."</P>
