S
TO BE PUTJJP FOR SALE
But tlio Millions They Will Bring
Will Not Nearly Meet Her Press
ing Needs, Which Must Bo Large,
SCENE FROM ST. ELMO, SOON AT BEDFORD
ST. PETERSBURG, March 10.
TThe Porsian parliament proposes io
rniso money by solline; the crown
jowels. But tlio proceeds would bo
oujy n drop in the bucket of Persia's
financial needs, nnd she will be fore
sd to accept tho Anglo-Kussinu
tonus for n loan,' which 'will n8t be.
granted without provision for 'Tar
ciffu control of the country's fin
ances.
Russian troops will remain in Per
sin until there is evidence that their
withdrawal would not be followed
speedily by the necessity of reoceu
pation. '
Tho former Persian ministry re
signed . because it could not secure
the withdrawn! of Russian troops
and because it objected to the terms
of tho Anglo-Russian loan.
Persia must need a vast amount
of nionoy if tho state jewels would
not brine; enough to bo more than "a
Jrop in the bucket." The crown
jewels are not only the perns in the
crown, which alone are worth a very
large sum, but the jewels belonging
to the crown, or state.
When the present shah's . grand
father died three years ago he left
jewels then estimated to be worth
$200,000,000, which the state un
doubtedly seized when the present
shah's father was deposed last year
and banished. Then there are in the
palace nnd hnrcms a multitude of
jewelled articles of furniture and
adornment and three thrones, each
studded with gems of great value
the marble throne nnd the $15,000,
000 peacock throne.
EZRA MEEKER, PIONEER, TO
START ACROSS CONTINENT
SPOKANE, Wash., March 9.
Lumbering oxen, yoked to a battered
prairie schooner, with its tar bucket
swinging from the rear axle, will
carry Ezra Meeker, a pioneer of the
Oregon country, back over the trail
"which he and his familv used in mut
ing the trip through the wilderness
between Kansas City and The Dalles,
Vr., 58 years ago. He will be accom
panied by W. B. Mnrdon and Mrs.
Mnrdon and two helpers, the party
following the trail eastward bv wav
of Walla Walla, Wash., southwest of
Spokane.
Though more thnn 80 years of nge,
Meeker is endowed with the uncon
querable spirit of the western set
tler and is hopeful of carrying out
the work of marking the trail from
east to west in memory of the brave
men and women who blazed the way
that led to the opening of the Pa
cific empire, "before his spirit crosses
the great divide. lie retraced the
old trail in 1000, erecting granite
memorials in the larger towns nnd
cities, also visiting President Roose
velt nt the White House.
Tlio purpose of the trip, upon
which the- Meeker pnrty will start,
within three months is to secure data
and other information necessary 'c
map the trail and to arouse interest
in n campaign for funds with which
to completo tho work. There is n
committee bill "before congress ap
propriating $50,000 to provide gran
ate monuments and mnrkers, bnt a
clause requires the father of the
idea and the various historical soci
eties interested to manifest their sin
cerity by subscribing whatever money
may be necessary, in addition to the
appropriation contemplated by the
government.
It is planned to select a represen
tative from each historical society
in the six states covered by the
train to assist in locnting the over
land route nnd placing the monuments.
