Park., Fountains Donated Benson State Park is located near Multnomah Falls, which was itself a gift to the city of Portland from Benson. Here, Benson is honored with many scenic trails which offer the public a view of natural beauty. At the dedication, Benson said, ln presenting this park to the people of the city of Portland I had two obiects in view: first, to provide a recreation ground for all the people and their children in the city of my adoption which they could enioy at any time. Second, to provide an added charm to the highway, the construction at which is the fulfillment of one of my fondest dreams. It is a highway which will put Portland on the map for all time to come. Mr. Benson saw the need for pure drinking water for the public easily available at any time, so he gave the city ten thousand dollars to install twenty bronze drinking fountains at downtown street corners. The installation of these fountains helped to make the corner saloons run dry. A special memorial fountain was installed at Southwest Salmon and Park streets in downtown Portland by the student body of Benson High School in l959 ta pay tribute to his great accomplishments. This year additional drinking fountains, replicas of the originals, will be donated to the city by Benson High School. Page 9
