A
LMOST every

Ezra Meeker, who,
with his genuine
old prairie schoon
er . drawn , by ox
teams, started on
a journey several
years ago to. mark
the Oregon trail,
and It will hp of
IZBA HESKIR. lj)tere8t to ttou.
sands of persons all over the country
to learn that he Is now to push that
work to completion. The same lum
bering oxen and battered prairie
schooner with its tar bucket swinging
from the .rear axle will again carry
the pioneer of the Oregon country
back over the trail which he and his
family UBed In making the trip
through the wilderness between Kan
sas City and Tbe Dalles. Ore., fifty
eight years ago. He will be accom
panied by W. B. Mardon and Mrs.
Mardon and two helpers, the party
following the trail eastward by way
of Walla Walla. Wash., southwest of
Spokane. "
Though more than eighty years of
conquerable spirit of tbe western set-
tier nA la tw.nnftit tt
bervice i;i v
the work of marking the. trail from
east t0 west jn memory of the brave
men and women who blazed the way
that led to the opening of the' Pacific
empire before his spirit crosses the
great divide. He retraced the old trail
In 1906, erecting granite memorials In
tbe larger towns and cities; also visit
ing President Roosevelt at the White
House. f .;' ' ' 1 :' ',-: :-'J--vy
The purpose of the trip, npon which
the Meeker party will start within
three , months, Is to secure data and
other Information necessary to map
the trail and to arouse Interest In a
campaign for funds with which ; to
complete the work. There is a com
mittee bill before congress appropri
ating $50,000 to provide granite mon
uments and markers, but a clause re
quires the father of the idea and the
various historical societies Interested
to manifest their sincerity by subscrib
ing whatever money may be necessary
in addition to the appropriation con
templated by the government It is
planned to select a representative
from each historical society In the six
states covered by the trail to assist
in locating . the overland route and
placing the monuments. ';
At an age when most men are con
tent to lay aside life's burdens this
prosperous old farmer ..chooses to re
new his youth by practically living
over again the life of pioneer days
and by dedicating his old age to what
be believes to be a public duty. Mr.
Meeker abandoned his home in Indi
ana in 1852 and struck out for Oregon.
Ills present home Is in that part of
the original Oregon tract which be-
EZRA 1RESEB OLD PBAIBII BCHOON1B.
came Washington territory, now tbe
state of Washington, and there be set
tled and prospered.
Starting from bis home In Puyallup,
Wash. on Jan. 29, 1900, Mr. Meeker
retraced his march of fifty-four years
before,, back along the Oregon trail
to its eastern terminus, on the Mis
souri river, then across Iowa and Illi
nois to his old Indiana home. As he
journeyed he interested the people
along the route In the Importance of
saving the Oregon trail from oblivion.
Their fathers and grandfathers had
helped to make it,' but the past was
In a fair way to be, forgotten. The
line of a treat transcontinental rail
road parallels or cover the old Ore -
gon trail for much of Its way today,'
but there were detours and stages to
be marked before they were lost sight
of entirely.
So this old trail, which was one of
thm treat rondwava of - the nation a
century and a half ago, has become
known better than jxn to the present
Had It Beaten.
