choice fat dry-lot steers show loo 15c

A liberal supply of cattle is expected
to land here next Monday, but traders

MEEkER IN OMAHA
STURDY PIONEER MAKES
\ SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY,
Writes Interesting Letter, Telling OF
Experiences En- Route With OK
Team Trip Over Old Oregon Trail
He VIII Winter al Omaha.

c. b. Bagley, secretary of the board
Of public works of Seattle, has receiv-
ed a letter from Ezra Meeker, the
pioneer who has journeyed across the
United States and marked the old
Oregon trail with monuments. Mr..
Meeker left Seattle several months
ago and has now reached Omaha and
has erected his last monument, as
there is no regular trail east of the
Missouri river.
With Mr. Meekers letter were many
photographs OF the scenes along the
trail the same as they were between
1S4S and 1857, the period in which
most Of the travelling by wagon took
place. One of the scenes is the CHM
ney rock, the most notable of all the
old landmarks. This rock could be
seen from the moving wagons for two
weeks, while they were passing over
u distance of 200 miles.
Since his arrival in Omaha last
month, Mr.. Meeker has published a
journal of travels in 1852 and 1906.
entitled 1.-The Ok Team, or the Old
Oregon Trail Both of his Journeys
were with OK teams.
Mr.. Meeker made his real start from
Tumwater, that place marking as neaf
as can be determined, the western
end of the old Oregon trail. Council
Bluffs, Iowa, marks the far eastern
end OF the trail.
The first monument. a temporary

RAILWAYS IN CHINA,
Active Operations Going on I'm the
Orient.

Consul T. Haynes of Nanking
sends an extract from a report issued
by the imperial customs authorities
of Mengtse. 1t deals with the dan
gers from disease and the difficulties
of various kinds confronting the
builders of the railway that is to pass
through the Namti valley. 1t would
seem as if China has her hands full of
evils not unlike those encountered
upon the Isthmus of Panama. Com
sui Haynes writes:
A recent report concerning rail-
ways in China says: 1.-The construc-
tion of the railway between Laokai
and Yuannanfu (the great enterprise
to which all well-wishers of Yunnan
look forward as one of the means of
permitting this province to take her
proper place in the markets of the
world) has been perseveringly pushed
forward in the face of great difficult
ties both climatic and economic.
The vile climate of the Namti valley
has levied heavy toll on those who
have dared to open up its primeval
jungles and gullies. The death rate
among the coolies imported from
various parts of the empire and put
to work in this dreaded valley, may,
without eXaggeration, be estimated at
5000, or 10 per cent Of the total num-
Der employed on that particular Sec
ton OF the line. The company has
made praiseworthy efforts to counter
