not conceive how he should make the i

Colonel Joseph L. Meek then went
to the deck of the boat and address-
ed the crowd of travelers, many of
whom were already on the boat of
the competitor. He Introduced him
self, stating that he was envoy extra
ordinary from Oregon to President
Polk. Then he began to persuade
them In his virile language. If they
would come aboard he would tell them
durlnx thft. whole vovaee all about the
!0regon country, and many other tales.
Like sheep they flocked around him,
and during the Journey to Cincinnati
nothing was too good for the envoy.
When he reached Cincinnati he con
sidered himself too, worthy a man to
go by a common stage coach, and or
dered a separate vehicle. "
In Pennsylvania, where he encoun
tered a railroad for the first time, ho
told the stage company to charge the
'expense to Uncle Sam, and he was
fortunate enough to escape without
arrest. But tho railroad train wa
another affair, and when Meek saw
the conductor como toward him he
was truly "treed" for an expedient.
