Si! OF THE OLD Sill FE Till
J. W. Reading writes the following
interesting article on the "Old Santa
Fe Trail" for the Locomotive Engin
eers' Journal for August:
While the Spanish were pushing
their dominions northward the Pil
grim fathers and those who succeed
ed them were pushing out westward.
As early as 1811 the young American
republic resolved to spend a large
sum of money to open up a wagon
road from Cumberland, Md., to St.
Louis, a distance of over 700 miles.
Though never fully completed, this
men in the various caravans number
ed about 100.
By 1843 the value of merchandise
transported had Increased to $450,
000; the number of wagons to 230,
and the number of men 350. The av
erage time taken to move a wagon
train loaded was about 50
days. The average time of return
ing with wagons empty was 40 days.
The Journey out ward was not
only a tedious one but a very dan
gerous one as well. While the "Pu

disposed toward the traders, there

east and the west.
Thus the line of civilization reach
ing northward and eastward from
Mexico was nearing a similar line
sent westward from the Atlantic, but
between the two there was a vast
expanre of forest land, which was
not to be effectually bridged over
murdering them in a manner most
atrocious.
Many of the early traders gave up
their lives to the hostile Indians, and
many more massacres were only
avoided by the formation of large,
well armed caravans. It was the

Clopton h Co., Pendleton, Ore.
St. Louis, Autf. 4. Primaries of ull
parties, to nominate state tickets, are
being held throughout Missouri to
day. Reports received from many
points state that u heavy vote is be
ing cast.
The prlucipal contest Is over the
democratic gubernatorial nomination,
Governor Joseph Folk having retir
ed from the field to make a race for
United States senator against Sen
ator Stone.- William S. Cowherd of
Kansas City and David A. Ball of
Pike county are the principal con
tenders for the governorship. Both
have enthusiastic followlngs and have
waged hot campaigns in every sec
tion of the state. Unprejudiced ob
servers declare that Cowherd appar
ently enters today's primary In the
lead In popular favor, although It is
admitted that the race will be close.
The republican nomination for
governor will undoubtedly go to Her
bert S. Hadiey, who has made a bril
liant record as attorney general of
Missouri. Republican leaders assert
.that they have a good chance of suc
cess In the November election, and
that with lladley as their standard
bearer they will give the democrats
the hottest race they have ever
known.
William S. Cowherd, who Is appar
ently the favorite In the democratic
gubernatorial' race. Is a native of
Missouri and a graduate of the Uni
versity of Missouri. He has served
one term as mayor of Kansas City
and has represented his district In
congress for four consecutive terms.
"Dave" Ball, the man from Pike
county who Is Cowherd's rival for
the nomination, also has a long polit
ical record to his credit. Congress
man "Champ" Clark has supported
Ball, and this has added to his
strength.
Cowherd's managers are claiming
today that their candidate will come
to this city with 25,000 majority and
that he will carry St. Louis by a large
majority. The Ball boomers are more
modest In their claims, but declare
that their candidate Is assured of the
nomination.
This is the first test of the new
state primary law in Missouri, under
which the state nominating con
vention Is a thing of the past. Un
der the law, however, conventions of
the nominees of all parties must be
held In Jefferson City a month from
today, September 4, to formulate the
usual state platforms.
Although -the senatorial fight does
not enter Into today's primaries ,the
friction between the supporters of
Senator "Gum Shoe Bill" Stone and
Governor Folk has added Interest to
the contest. Although the nomina
tion for United States senator will
not be made until the general elec
tion in November, a virulent warfare
Is already in progress. The old
charges of bribery against Stone are
being revived. In connection with the
famous statement of a well known
raljroad lobbyist who declared that
"We both suck eggs, but Stone hides
the shells."
Folk's Platform.
Governor Folk, who Is seeking
Stone's toga, has acquired a national
reputation as a reform executive, and
his supporters are confident that he
will be elected to fill the seat of the
"gum shoe" statesman in the upper
branch of the national legislature.
Senator Stone has appealed to the
democrats of the state to refrain
from acrimony during the campaign,
in order that the democracy of the
state may be saved from a bitter .cliff-
organizing personal strife such as was
recently carried on In Kentucky and
Tennessee. "Let us fight republl
cans, not each other," Is Stone's ap
peal to his supporters.
Stone has made many speeches In
various parts of the state within the
past few weeks in support of his
ambition to be returned to the sen
ate. He has touched UDon all na
tional questions, denouncing the pol
icies of the republicans and branding
the Aldrlch-Vreeland currency bill
as a "hypothlcated monstrosity."
Governor Folk has entered the sen
atorlal race on his record as chief
executive of Missouri and premises,
if elected, to give his support and In
fluence to the various reform meas
ures whose advocacy have made him
a national figure.
The Way of Womankind.
Women are Indefatigable In their
analysis of conduct A man accepts
a white ray of light for what It Is; a
womitu passes It through a prism and
resolves It Into Its component rays. If
I pass Mrs. A. In the street without
salutlug her she conjectures a dozen
painful motives to account for my nb-
sentmrndedness. If she passes me I
conclude that she Is shortsighted or nb-
sentmlnded.
If I say to my niece Molly that 2 and
2 make 4 she consents, but Is uncon
vlnced. But If I show her this little
formula-lVi-Bil:iVi--8ue Is at
once all alive with Interest and sits
down to work It out and proclaim In
triumph that It Is so. From a hard
and dull statement of the fact It has
become a problem and an Intrigue, and
here she Is In her element.
That Is the way of womankind In all
relations to life. "Comments of Bag

The meaning of the word "swastika"
Is "It Is well," or good lock. The mean
ing of the symbol Is more complex.
Some folks trace It to the sun.
. 'The emblem Is the sun In motion,"
argued Professor Max Muller. "A
wheel with spokes was actually re
placed by what we now call swastika.
The swastika Is, in fact, an abbreviat
ed emblem of the solar wheel with

"It Is the summary In a few lines of
the whole work of creation," said Mme.
Blavatsky; "Is evolution, as one should
say, from cosmotheogony down to an-
thropogeny, from the Indivisible un
known to materialistic science, whose
genesis Is as unknown to that science
as that of the all Deity Itself. The
swastika Is found heading the religious
symbols of every old nation."
