THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, MAY 3, 1914. PUBLICITY TOUR BY OX TEAM PLANNED Ezra Meeker to Start on Trip May 6 in Effort to Adver tise Pacific Northwest. PORTLAND TO BE VISITED Pioneer "Would Take Outfit East Again and Call on President to Assist In Efforts for National Road Over Oregon Trail. BY EZRA MEEKER. SEATTLE, May 2. (SpeclaU-j-Wed-nesday. May 6, 1914, I will leave my home in Seattle, proceed by steamer to Tacoma and next day take possession of the ox team, Dave and Dandy, the now famous oxen that crossed the con tinent together, traversed Broadway, New York, from the Bronx to the Bat tery, trod the Sacred precinct of the White House grounds In Washington City and were photographed in the presence of the President of the United States and for the last 20 months have quietly enjoyed their home in Point Defiance Park, Tacoma. This outfit now belongs to the City of Tacoma, and is under control of the Park Board of that city and has been lent for an exhibit at the Panama Ex position at San Francisco during the year 1915, and for a publicity campaign during the intervening months prior to the opening of the exposition. After some slight repairs to the old wagon, on Monday, May 11, 1 will ship the outfit by steamer to Olypmla, fol lowing the almost identical channel traversed by myself and brother in reverse order in a frail skiff June, 1853, 61 years ago, arriving in Commence ment Bay long before Tacoma was born and when Seattle contained only 90 in habitants. I will tarry in Olympia a week, strive to obtain funds to erect a monument to commemorate the advent of the first American settlers on Puget Sound during the month of October, 1845, seven families of 36 people. This was the nucleus of an American settlement north of the Columbia River that has since reached almost the million and a half m'ark. Monument to Be of Granite. This monument is to be of granite, capped, if possible to be found, by the mill stones carved out of a granite boulder by those earliest pioneers and placed within stone throw of the point where the mill was built that relieved the builders from the necessity of living in part upon boiled wheat. I will then drive to Centralia. Al though only 25 miles, it will take three days. The oxen are fat enough to compete in a fat stock show. Dave is unquestionably the largest ox in the United States I don't mean the largest animal of his kind, but the largest trained ox. Both are 16 hands high. Dandy a little the taller, but Dave much the heavier. Although both are 13 years old, they look out of as bright eyes as if they were only the 5-year-old steers when I first put them under thu yoke and started for Washington City. . According to this itinerary, I should arrive at Centralia, Wednesday, May 20, there to find 10,000 people where, in 1S53, I found only "Old Man Cockran" and his wife and the outlawed negro, Ueorge Washington, who became owner of the site upon which that thriving city is built. enrt Outlawed I ndrr Old Art. "George Washington an outlaw?" most . readers will exclaim. Yes, out lawed by the barbarous Oregon law that forbade a colored man from coming to or remaining in Oregon owning land, testifying in court in a word, looked upon and treated as a creature without any rights a white man was bound to respect. Nevertheless, Wash ington stayed because the owner of a mile square of land and died there a respected citizen of that thriving com monwealth. Times have changed in deed, during the lapse of 61 years. I expect to tarry in Centralia until Monday. May 25. and strive to get the people interested in building a granite monument in their beautiful park, for we are now on the Oregon trail. It is only a four-mile drive to Che halts, another center of population of near 10,000 inhabitants, where, early in June, 1853, I camped under the shel tering branches of a cedar tree after unstrapping my pack of nearly 40 pounds, carried from the Columbia Biver. Yes, times have changed." Here, at Chehalis. eight years ago. when I drove through that city on my way to Washington City, I tarried only two days. The Commercial Club prom ised to erect a fine monument on the trail that ran througn what is now a beautiful park, but forgot all about it. I intend to camp with them this time until they vote me a nuisance or pro vide the money to mark the trail by a granite monument that will be an ornament to their city and remind future generations that once upon a time the pioneers- passed within a few rods of the front of their City HalL Other Tanks Ahead. June will have arrived by the time I am through with Chehalis. I must hasten on, for I am booked to celebrate with the Oregon pioneers at tueir an .nual gathering in Portland on the isth of that month, and Vancouver is to be "raided" and the Cascades pro vided for if possible, to the end Wash ington may have a more creditable showing of respect for the early pio neers who opened the way to this wonderful progress and civilization. When my work is ended in Port land, two courses are open for the fu ture." Either to deliver the outfit to the Washington State authorities for the state exhibit at the Panama Canal Kxpositlon at Pan Francisco or pro ceed with a publicity campaign for the nine months prior to the opening of the great show. If delivered then, in .lime, 1914. the whole outfit will go Into retirement until ready to be in stalled early in 1915. If the commercial bodies, transporta tion Interests or citizen combinations will Incur the expense of transporta tion. I will make a publicity campaign of eight months, reach 30.000.000 of the citizens of the United .States by actual sight of the outfit or accounts of it in 1000 newspapers of the east ern portion of the continent, without salary, board myself and pay my own personal expenses. The oxen are too old and too fat to travel far by land and so I would want a car fitted up for the trip to trans port them from city to city and from which to distribute literature and upon which to place the 28-foot map of the Oregon trail now. already at great ex pense, prepared by the Park Board of the City of Tacoma and showing the Oregon trail to be the best route of ail for a -National highway from the Missouri River point to Puget Sound, showing one stretch of over 800 miles with a gradient of less than eight feet to the mile evenly distributed reaching to the summit of the south pass of the Kocky Mountains. "Pioneer Way" Is I rgrd. I -would propose to first visit Salt Lake City, Denver,. Kansas City ana Chicago and on to the New Knglano States; thence to Washington city via the principal cities alon the way, timing my arrival for November 29, just seven years after the first visit to the White House grounds, request an interview with the President and im press upon him -and the Congress - the importance of a National highway to the Northwest over the general route of the Oregon trail to be a memorial road for the pioneers and to be known as Pioneer Way. Incidentally I might suggest to the President he could have free passage by the ox team to the Capitol to de liver his message to the Congress as sembled December 7. I But, pleasantry aside. there are mitt? Em Meeker, Who Would Vie Oxxeom to Advertise l'aclfle Northwest. great possibilities for such a trip to let the people of the East know there Is such a State as Washington and such a place as Puget Sound and that visitors to the great exposition can visit them, coming or returning by any of the five great transcontinental routes with terminals on Puget Sound.

(Spe cial.) Professor Hunter, of the State College at Pullman, accompanied by J. C. Bush, of Chehalis. president of the WHAT DYSPECTICS SHOULD EAT A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE. "Indlg-estion and practically all forma of stomach trouble are, nine times out of ten. due to acidity; therefore stomach sufferers should, whenever possible, avoid eating food that Is acid in its na ture, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately, such a rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as well as those which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve building properties. This is the reason why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are usually so thin, emaciated and lacking 5n that vital energy which can only come from a well fed body. For the benefit of those sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are trying to keep tip a miserable existence on gluten products, I would suggest that you should try a meal of any food or foods which you may like. In moderate amount, taking immediate ly afterwards a teaspoonful of bisurat ed magnesia in a little Jiot or cold water. This will neutralize any acid which may be present, or which may be formed, and instead of the usual feeling of uneasiness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubtless the best food corrective and antacid known. It has no direct action on the stomach; but by neutralizing the acidity of the food contents, and thus removing the source of the acid irrita tion which inflames the delicate stom ach lining, it does more than could pos sibly be done by anv drug or medicine. As a physician. I believe In the use of medicine, whenever necessary, but I must admit that cannot see the sense of dosing an inflamed and irritated stomach with drugs Instead of getting rid of the acid -the cause of all the "trouble. Get a little bisurated magnesia from your druggist, eat what you want at your next meal, take some of the bisurated magnesia as directed above, a n d s:e if I'm not rlyht."
