THREE HISTORIC ROA OS
Simple Explanation of
Jones’ Little Blunder
Hl« wife was a tall brunette. Jones
had waited on the appointed corner
for her for 15 m inutes und waa begin­
ning to grow Im patient. At last he
espied a tall, fam iliar-appearing figure
coming down the street. She arrived
at th e corner, and he took her by the
arm , suying: “Come, dear, we m ust
hurry."
“Sir, how d are you?*' the woman
answered.
"Why, H urtle, w hat In th e world—”
"Officer, th is mustier Is attem pting
to be fam lliur with me," the tall wom­
an said to a John Law who hud Just
approached.
On hla way to the station Jones had
an opportunity to think It over. Sud
denly It dawned on him—he had for
gotten to remove his colored glasses
and had accosted a hlonde instead of
his dark-haired spouse.—W ashington

I I W would In effort ho n
u rn th in
th e S anta F e T rail, th e Mormon
T rail, the O verland T rail or any other historic
trail, to say nothing of modern roads like the
Lincoln Highway.
And the controversy has developed all sorts of
com plications. S tates w ant to know w hat authori­
ty congress has to change the designation of roads
already nam ed by them. City is fighting city for
place on the Oregon T rail both from sentim ent
and from desire for financial advantage. T here
a re many disputes as to historical fa c ts; the
source hooks of w estern history seem to co n tra­
dict one another In many cases and the oldest of
th e old-tim ers are by the ears.
And, of course. T rail is fighting T rail, with all
the others more or less combined against the
Oregon T rail. Congress seem s to have been a hit
Indifferent as to historical accuracy, so long as a
“federal-aid highway” was selected. N aturally,
th is does not give universal satisfaction. Utah,
for example, does not w ant to have its Mormon
T rail wiped out. The O verland T rail has Its cham ­
pions among descendants of th e Forty-niners.
And the contributors of ninny millions to the
building and m aintenance of the Lincoln Highway
as a memorial to A braham Lincoln strenuously
object to the loss of hundreds of miles of improved
anil m arked roudway
Tiie Santa Fe T rail, oldest of them all, has a
place in the controversy because it Is the P aren t
T rail from K ansas City to G ardner, Kan. Inci­
dentally, It comes to public atten tio n on its own
account through the fact th at Council Grove, Kan.,
is to celebrate Its centennial August It). A hun­
dred annual rings have swelled the girth of the
sturdy Council Oak, p atriarch of Council Grove,
since the council under Its shade secured ¡»eaceful
passage from the Paw nees and the < »sages—but
not the Comanches—for th e pale face eager to
tra d e with the Spaniards at S anta Fe.
T he senate passed a hill (8. 2053) designating
the Oregon T rail, a fte r several cities in Idaho,
Oregon and W ashington had been added by am end­
m ents in committee. It was Introduced by Senator
McNary, has no pream ble and must have been

The hearings by th e house com m ittee on roads
on these senate and house docum ents w ere lively
affairs. No less th an fourteen representative»«
made argum ents pro and con—and the end is
not yet. The m andatory language of the act and
tiie joint resolution raised the questio n : Is con­
gress trying to rem ake history? Tiie a ttitu d e of
the pros was shown to be su bstantially th is: They
do not wish to belittle the historical Inqtortance
of any other Trail, but they claim an im perishable
nam e for the Oregon Trull because it and lit
pioneers gave the nation Oregon. W ashington,
Idaho and parts of Wyoming and Montana. T h ere­
fore they think th at the Oregon Trull in relatios
to our national grow th stands sep arate und spiif*
from all other T rails and th at It has peculiar
sentim ental and historical significance en titling h
to special recognition by congress.
Suppose th e Oregon T rail as designated is his­
torically incorrect In ¡»laces, as w as shown by
the cons. W hat of It? ask th e proa. R epresenta­
tive Elm er O. Leatherwood of U tah sh«»wed th a t
th e Mormon Trail In N ebraska w as on the north
side of the North I’latte and the Oregon T rail
on the south side of th a t river. Yet the designa­
tion proposed would put the Oregon T rail on the
north side and wipe out a long stretch of the
Mormon Trail. Mr. Leatherwood Is not a Mor­
mon—his great g ran d fath er Leatherw ood traveled
the W ilderness Rond hard on Daniel Boone's foot
step s; he himself was horn In Ohio and was edu­
cated at the U niversity of W isconsin and went
to Salt Lake City In 1901 to practice law. All
Utah, you see, has a sentim ental interest in the
Morman T rail and Its pioneers who made a s t it e
out of a desert. Incidentally Mr. Leatherwood in ­
troduced a map prepared by the h istorian’s «»flee
of the Mormon Church and in connection with !t a
portion of the “H istorical Record, Vol. LX”
(1800)—a document not readily accessible to his-
trrla n s. This contained, among other thing?, a
diary setting forth in detail the movem ents «lay
by «lav of the Mormon Expedition of 1847 u rd er
Brigham Young which founded Salt Lake City.
