More than 4,000 hospitals throughout the Uniteil Suites and Canada are busy planning for nn "open house" for the people of their communities and for other fea tures in connection with the observ ance of second annual National Hos- 'pital Day, May 12, according to let ters received hy Matthew O. Foley, ex ecutive sqcretary, National Hospital Day Committee. Last year more than POO hospitals in these two countries staged the first obsorvance of National Hospital Day on May 12, the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nitrhtincrale, pioneer in modern hospital and nursing meth ods, und the institutions were visited by hioro thnn 250,000 people.

(Continued from Yesterday.) I Mr. Meeker reached Tho Dalles from where the real start was made on March 10, 11)0(1. lie erected the first stone monument March 15th: Then he traveled on his slow, tiresome way throuuh Oregon, Idaho, Wyom ing, Nebraska, erecting markers on the way and on to Indianapolis, In diana, which he reached January C, 1007. On March 1st he started for Washington, IJ. C, with his ox team 'and after a diversity of experiences on ; the way, reached the White Mouse anil .interviewed Teddy Roosevelt, then president of the United States, who i was greatly interested in the venture 'and promised his aid in securing Gov ernment recognition of the Old Oregon I Trail. . j!' Mr. Meeker's big idea of .the trip !,was to marie the route and to create .-an interest in the building of a Na jtional Highway across tho continent iin commemoration of the Old Oregon j'l'rail. Mr. Meeker made a second trip by .'ment that many of the places promin 'entlv identified with the early history of the Oregon Trail knew nothing of it, owing to the crossing of time and the influx of new people. (Mr. Meeker mae a second trip by ox team, starting from The Dalles March Hi, 1010, and ending at Puyal lup, Wash., 'August 20, 1012. Tho outfit of Ezra Meeker is now a permanent exhibit in the State Histor !ical Building of the state of Washing ton, the taxidermist's skill making the ioxen look as natural as life, leaning iagainst the yoke, and the old prairie schooner looking fit for another trip lacross the continent. The oxen and the wagon being under a glass case U iby 18 feet. A word regarding the pioneer wo men is appropriate at this time. Mr. Meeker recounts that on the west bound trip in I8."2 they met nine wag ons going back east, all driven by women, the jnen having died of chol era on the way west. The pioneer wo men went into the wilderness, shar ing the same dangers and undergo ing th same privations as the men and, as the population grew, it was organize Itself jln a popular govern ment.

The pioneers of l4:t-f7 were neces sarily brave anil hardy for if thev had not been they could not have faced the dangers of the journey or have withstood the rigors of the trip. It was a rase of the weak perishing and the strong and brave surviving. There was no such word as "fail" in the vocabulary of these people and through the activities and determina tion of the progeny of these men nnd women the dent American Desert has been made to blossom us the rose. From the ' History of the Fur Trade of the Far West,'' by Hiram Martin Chittenden, we gather the following! ."As a highway of travel the Ore gon Trail is the most remarkable known to history. Considering tho fact that it originated with the spon taneous us eof travelers; that no tran sit hnd ever located a foot of it; that no travel established its grade; that, no engineer sought out the fords nor built bridges or surveyed the moun tain passes; that there was no grad ing to spenki of nor any attempt at metalling the road, the general good quality of this 2000 miles of highway will seem most extraordinary. But not so when the prairies become dry and parched, the road filled with stifl ing dust, the stream beds mere dry ravines or carrying only un alkaline water which could not be used; the game all gone to more hospitable sec tions and the summer sun pourinir down its heat with torrid intensity. It was then the Trail became a high way of desolation, strewn with aban doned property, the skeletons of hors ... moles nnd oxen, and alas, too 'ft..n with freshly made graves and ,-- headboards that told the pitiful tale IJ fy ! of suffering too great to be endured. , JCU. 11011 S ' If the Trail was the scene of romance, 1 . adventure, pleasure ami exciu -mrm, i so it was marked ill every mile of I its course by human misery, tragedy and (tenth."'
