                      CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
  Whereas in 1825 Peter S. Ogden of the Hudson's Bay Company
conducted the first recorded exploration of the area now known as
La Pine; and
  Whereas construction of the Central Oregon Military Road opened
the La Pine area for settlement in 1867; and
  Whereas Bynon Johns Pengra, the Surveyor General of Oregon,
established the Rosland post office on his land in 1897; and
  Whereas in 1910, Alfred Aya, James Gleason and W. R. Riley
acquired exclusive township rights from the Deschutes Land
Company and the site of La Pine was platted and mapped; and
  Whereas the birth of La Pine marked the death of nearby Rosland
where Bynon Johns Pengra had established the post office; and
  Whereas for many years La Pine remained a small rural
community, but since the 1960s the La Pine area has seen
continuous growth; and
  Whereas after attempting to incorporate in 1985, 1994 and 2000,
La Pine electors voted on November 7, 2006, to incorporate; now,
therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:
  That we, the members of the Seventy-fourth Legislative
Assembly, congratulate La Pine, Oregon, on becoming the newest
city in Oregon.
