4,000 hospitals throughout the Uniteil

for nn "open house" for the people of

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

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

Had it not for the migration
of it ia f?-y doubtful if Ameri
can control wouM have continueii over
the Oregon country and to the Ohl
Oregon Trail must be (riven the honor
of being the pioneer way over which
the future citizens of this great
northwest came and dominated its
future.
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."' J
. Anil so it is through tragedy anil
death that great things are accom
plished, and the Old Oregon Trail with
its hurrying thousands beciune Mw a
Trail of History. Sentiment and Trag-
edy over which nn empire was re- i

PROSPERITY
A state, community or city can never grow fast
er than her utilities, or extend further than they
reach. The prosperity of a city or town, its alertness,
its up-to-date methods, its progressiveness, in fact,
its very character are reflected directly to the ex
tent that they exist in its utilities. Likewise, show
me a city with broken down, unhealthy and restrict
ed utilities and I shall show you a city living in the
backwoods of civilization, with no parks, improved
streets or alleys; with unkept homes and unimprov
ed public buildings; without civic pride andl self -res-pact,
and withal a shipshod, shiftless, dozing, indif
ferent population a mighty poor and unattractive
place to live and do business.
