OREOON VRITE FOR CATALOG C Hi School that Flactt Ton in a Good Position EZKA MEEKER AT PAIR. Will Reproduce In Miniature The Old Oregon Trail. SEATTLE, Wash., April 26.--TWO years ago Ezra Meeker, a pioneer of Oregon and Washington, demonstra ted the possibility of a transcontin ental highway by hitching two oxen to a "prarie schooner" of the olden days, and driving them from Seattle to New York City and return over what was known as the "Oregon Trail," In the days when men fared into the west by what means they could. His Journey was watched with interest by every section of the country and, when he "whacked" his oxen Into the national capital, on the return trip, President Roosevelt ran out of the White House to greet him and tell him of the great good that his remarkable trip had worked in the cause of more and better roads the country over. Mr. Meeker was 'then 72 years of oge, but hardy enough to make the long Journey and, upon hia return, to j keep up his campaign for a "Cam- ino Real, or King's Highway across the continent." Now he is making use of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition to 'serve the same purpose. On the "Pay Streak," which Is the Amusement way of Seattle's worlds fair, ha has laid out several acres of the forest cov ered campus in trails and vistas. He has erected pioneer log cabins and built waterfalls. He has laid out wa ter courses, and In other ways repro duced in miniature the famous trail over which he flrst entered the great northwest. He has the same oxteam he drove across the continent and ot hers as well and the visitor to the exposition, when he finds his way to the "Pay Streak" will be taken "over the summit of the Cascades, over the 'three notched logs' down the descent and through the narrow defile," which are told of In the history of Lewis and Clarke, who first blazed the way. In the log cabins he will find the entertainment and hospitality of the days of '49 and in the woods he will find. rustic seats and benches where families may discuss the picnic lun ches ther may bring with them. , Altogther it to. a realistic bit from the pioneer days, the traces of which areo rapidly disappearing from the West.
