	Governors Of Oregon - Photographs
		Governor Abernethy was one of eight members of the unincorporated Oregon Exchange Company which coined the famous Beaver money-$5 and SIO gold pieces needed during the scarcity of American currency in the territory.
		When Governor Joseph Lane (appointed by President Polk to be the Governor of the new territory) arrived on Oregon March 3, 1849, he issued a proclamation giving official notice of the change and then sent a letter to Governor Abernethy inviting him to call.
		But the provisional Governor (as Carey's History tells it) "with a nice sense of the proprieties, indicated in a dignified manner that he would be glad to receive Governor Lane should the latter call to pay his respects." Thus the provisional Governor took care of the protocol until his successor was regularly sworn in.

		WASHINGTON —; Republican governors are openly worrying that the Bush administration's latest stumbles — from the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina to problems of its own making on prescription drugs and port security — are taking an election-year toll on the party back home.
		Despite the discomfort, however, Republican governors gave the president a rock-star welcome as the headliner at a glitzy reception Monday night that added $9.6 million to GOP campaign coffers for fall races.
		Governors went into closed-door meetings with Bush, and later with Rumsfeld and top military leaders, unified in their opposition to administration budget plans that state leaders had warned would reduce the planned force levels for the Guard.
