VISIT FAIR IN PIONEER STYLE
Ezra Meeker Will Retrace Oregon Trail
With Prairie Schooner and Oxen.

Driving an OK team hitched to an
original prairie schooner" of the vint-
age of 50, Ezra Meeker historian and
pioneer of Washington, will retrace
the Oregon trail this summer and will
camp with his outfit on the banks
Of the Willamette slough long enough
to take peep at the worlds fair, says
the Seattle Times.
Mr.. Meeker says that he will charter
the real thing in the shape of a stout
oak wagon, which has been enjoying
for so years past we'll earned retire.
ment in an old shed on the banks of
the Cowlitz river. 1t played it's part
in the march of the pioneers across the
prairies in the early fifties. Mr. Meek
er says that to show the people at the
fair just how the pathfinders lived in
the early Oregon days, he will rehabil-
itate that old OK cart, and covering it
with a snow white canopy, properly
inscribed Oregon or Bust" he will
! make the journey over again from
the sound to Portland, and there pitch
his tent and tell the fasteners how it
all happened in 1852.
Wants to "Hit the Trail"
You see," said Mr.. Meeker, when
| they talk about pioneer days, and the
Oregon pioneers of the worlds fair at
Portland. the passion gets hold of me
to journey back there in the same old
style and over the same old trail.
Therell be a lot of men and women
of Oregon, gray-haired and grizzlei
like myself. who will come to see what
wonderful progress the country has
made in so years. They'll contrast the
times today with their own ways of
j living and doing things when they
crossed the plains to the Columbia
river in the early ffties.
But l think l can go all of them one
better by retracing the old trail, and
land, at least. and maybe much far
Their. And I'm going to travel in the
way we crossed the plains, the noun
tains and rivers more than a half CEN
fury ago. I'll lead the old life again,
| driving an OK team, sleeping where
| night catches me, and cooking all my
meals in the open
stop at a hotel? Not much, sir!
You won't catch me inside a hotel in
Portland as long as l am at the fair.
That would spoil all the pleasure of the
trip.
Looks for a RoIicking Time
| NO, I'm not going to take my wife,
as she's hardly strong enough to live
the same rough, outdoor life, that we
enjoyed so much when we started,
newly married, across the plains from
Iowa in April, 1852. 1 like roughing it
as we'll as ever, though. and l tell you
I'm planning on having a rOllicking
time of it this summer. You see, fn
only IS years old mean young-an.7
l like all sorts of outdoor fun. So, I'll
just pick out some hardy yOungSter
like myself to go with me, and We'll
have the time Of our lives"
Mr. Meeker already has his eye on
a pair of young and big-boned oxen
which have been partly trained to pull
wagon. If they need any higher
education in this line. Mr.. Meeker will
grab a stiff piece Of live oak and give
| them some lessons. himself. He counts
absolutely on getting the old prairie
wagon on the banks of the Cowlitz
! which is the property of friend of his.
