LONG TRIP WITH OK TEAM.
Aged Ezra Meeker Making His Way

to Washington to Establish Mark
ings Of the Oregon Trail.
Making a journey of 5000 miles
behind team of oxen, Ezra Meeker,
who started from Tacoma, Wash,
Jan. %, 1906, has reached Ohio on
his way to Washington, ID. G. The
object of his expedition is to estab-
fish monuments along the old Oregon
trail, in honor of the pioneers who
first used II to travel west He owns
n large estate I'm Washington, and
has wife and five children, Fl
grandchildren and four great grand
children.
His family and neighbors protested
against the long journey, but he was
determined. Twenty monuments have
been erected through Meeker's eff
forts, one costing $500, and he advo-
Gates the establishment by Congress
of q national highway from the Mis-
souri, river to oregon over the trail
of 1852
Meeker's wagon is one that was
used on the old Oregon trail. 1t is
typical prairie schooner, and he
calls It his "oxomobile." He lectures
from the rear of his wagon. He has
not slept outside of his wagon since
he started on the long trip. To

Guessing at sphlnx,s Aae.

The great Sphinx of Ghizeh bears
no inscription by which we can tell
its date. In 1916 Caviglia, who in
modern times was the first to clear
away the sand, found between it's
paws STEELE of the reign of Throth-
mes w, and, therefore, it was believ-
ed that the Sphinx was carved by
that monarch. But in 1858 the exca-
vations of Marietta uncovered a
STEELE bearing the name of Cheops, on
which is a reference to the Sphinx.
The inscription is eveidently of a
late period, but is supposed to be an
exact copy of an ancient carving,
and the translation seemed to place
the Sphinx earlier than the Pyra-
mids, and consequently to prove it
the most ancient piece of work in
the world. Still there remained four
lines carved on the base which could
not be read, but NJ. Daressy has now
deciphered them, and 1t appears that
the inscription is in two parts. In
the earlier lines there is no mention
of the Sphinx, but the lines, which
date from the Persian occupation
mention the repair of the Sphinx
There is, therefore, nothing by which
we can tell the date of the monu-
ment, and the only evidence we have
is the headdress of the colossus. It's
hood Is ornamented behind with
three bands, a large one between two
smaller bands. Now this is a fashion
which existed only toward the end of
the twelfth dynasty in the reigns of
Usurtasen III. and Amendment III.
AS the family showed much zeal for
the god Harmaklin, whose portrait
the Sphinx is, it is probable that the
monument is the work of Amen.
