AT THE END OF
HIS JOURNEY

The Indianapolis Star says Of the
arrival Of Ezra Meeker at thai place
after having marked the Oregon trail
his destination at Indianapolis with
his OK team, having retraced the old
Oregon trail the entire distance of
$500 miles.
The Star dev otes an entire page to
cuts and an interview with the cour-
ageous pioneer, which is entitled,
"Oregon Trail Blazed Anew After
Fifty Years" The illustrations con-
sist of Gifford's "Dedicating Monu-
ment at The Dalles, Oregon" Moor.
houses picture of the pioneer himself
in buckskin suit, garbed as typical
mountain man, seen in the last Pa
cific Monthly. Also the Meeker home
on Puyallup as Camp No. /, and
"Chimney Rock" on old Oregon trail,
in North Platte valley. with Meeker
and OK team in foreground.
To a reporter "Pioneer' Meeker said
he lett his home at PuyaIlup, Camp
No. l. January 20, 1906, and had trav-
eled 2600 miles to return to his ferm
home seven miles west of lndianapo-
lis. which he left in the fall OF 1851
for an early start the next spring to
Oregon.
As a result of his land marking
tourney. no less than 20 markers have
been set along the trail already, and
other cities are planning to commem-
crate the historic spots. Among the
cities along the historic roadway are
Grand Island, Neb. North Platte,
Neb. ; Casper, Wyo.; Pocatello, Ida
no; Boise, Idaho; Baker City, Ore,
and The Dalles.
In many places magnificent monu-
ments have been erected, one of hand
some design being placed in the court
house yard at Baker City. In one
city a granite shaft weighing over five
tons and more than II feet high was
placed.

In reply to the question as to what
literary training he had had, Mr.

"a writer on the Journal, we're
you?" asked the interviewer.
"No." was the old pioneers reply,

we're 500 boxes in the first cargo, the
boxes containing Is, 1s and "a peach

each being wrapped in separate
wrapper containing the name OF the
packers. The fruit in each box was
of uniform size and it arrived In ex-

Cold Weather Good for Crops.

Vancouver, b. c., Feb. 5.-Ihe
farmers of sunny Alberta claim they
do not mind their forty below-zero
weather They claim 1t is good for
the crops. Frederic Engen, who Is
here from Saskatoon, claims that the
temperature there is not felt SO severe
as ten below in british Columbia. The
prairie farmers see nothing but cheer
in the cold weather, for the deeper
the frost goes the better next years
crop will be. William Ingram says:
"The frost rising over this longer pei
iod will keep the ground moist most
of the summer and with one or two
rains in May fine yield will be as
suled The fall wheat, which will be
high enough to shade the ground and
therefore hold the moisture little
longer, will benefit the most, but the
spring heat will also reap much ben
eft.

and the company is now driving a tunnel
to tap the workings and drain the mine
Some of the ore in this property, MI

ounces silver and 30 per cent lead, while
concentrates from some of the lower
grades show as much as per cent copper

UTAH COPPER MILL

1t was reported yesterday that the Utah
Copper company had placed in commits
sion the first section of its great copper
mill at Garfield on the evening before.

Manager D. c. lacking stated that the
report was hardly correct Whirls are
being taken at the crushing plant the
pumps are being tried out. and other por-
lions OF the great mills equipment are
having preliminary try-outs
I'VE have not yet commenced the work
OF dressing ore" said Mr.. lacking land
we probably shall not do so for several
days to come. We are getting ready, how
ever and when we see that il is possible
TO get a regular supply of ore over the

ALBION, AT ALTA,
READY TO SHIP ORE

Manager William Hatfield Of the AL
biOn. at Alta, was in the city yesterday.
He states that the mine IS opening up in
fine shape and that regular shipments of
ore will begin just as soon the roads
are in good condition for hauling
The winters development work in the
mine has been telling one. After rails
ing through from the deep tunnel to the
old upper workings, sinking in the ore
was commenced. AT stated intervals drifts
have been run out from the ore bodies
TO the winze connecting with the lower
tunnel and the ground made ready for
regular mining operations This work is
being continued right along, the mana ge-
ment working on the idea that 1T is best
TO follow the ore down, step by step, thus
avoiding any chance Of losing il and be-
ing compelled TO do prospecting to To-
cate it again.

THE BROWNSVILLE
COUNTRY
What The Houston Post Thinks of
This Section.
Time Has Demonstrated That the Land
Of This Region Has Resources That
Its Owners Never Dreamed OF.
Future Is Secure.

Start furrow at Corpus Christi
on the south bank of the Nueces
river and run it south parallel TO
the rails of the Gulf Coast Line to
Brownsville and the Rio Grande
and somewhere in that unbroken
furrow $50 miles long there can be
successfully and proftably grown
every variety of product, agricul-
tural and horticultural, that can be
produced anywhere within the
boundary lines of the United States
today writes one speaking of
that wonderful country of the
Southwest. To an outsider who has
never visited the region the state
ment seems nothing more than an
exaggeration. But to the man who
has seen and who knows it is rec
ognized as a sane and conservative
estimate of the wonderful fruitful
ness of one of the most resourceful
stretches of country on the West
ern continent.
The story of the Brownsville
country, as the region is now
known and recognized, is the story
of less than FIVE years. It had been
a cattle country for more than fifty
years, but during all that period
scarcely an acre of land had been
cultivated for commercial purposes.
1t was the pushing of the St.
Louis, Brownsville and Mexico
railroad through the great unde-
veloped country that gave the OPP
Portunity of development, and
when the invitation was sent forth
and the glad hand was hung out
the prospective investor and the
homeseeker came to look upon a
virgin soil which never in the
memory of man had felt the touch
of plow.
Three years have wrought won
ders in the opening up of the coun-
try and the cultivation of its
resources. Great rice canals have
been dug, pumping plants have
been installed and a vast part of
the territory given over to the cul-
tivation Of rice. Other sections
planted in fruit, vegetables, cotton
and grain, and today there is no
agricultural or horticultural pro,
duct that can not be raised in this
fertile region,

of the real character of the Browns
vile country's development.
FUTURE IS PROMISING

vile country's development.
FUTURE is PROMISING.
Two years ago the gulf coast
country was an unknown quantity,
aud those who invested their money
in it were putting dollars into an
experiment But the experiment
proved emineut1y successful. Time
has demonstrated that the land of
that region has resources which its
owners never dreamed of, and the
future of the Brownsville region is
secure.
As a result of these happy con-
ditions, the people OF Southwest
Texas are rejoicing. They have
solved the problems, they have
served as pioneers, and those who
come henceforth need experience
none of the pioneer difficulties COM
mon to most new countries. -
Houston has much to expect
from the development of this
splendid country, and already the
results are beginning to tell. As
the commercial metropolis of the
State, as the meeting of the ways
and the natural distributing point
for the Brownsville territory, and
already a considerable trade is de-
veloping. The Houston business
men, approaching the importance
of the Brownsville district and
wishing to indicate their good will
and kindly spirit, paid the Browns
vile country and the merchants
and people of that section a visit
last spring, and the excursion
proved one of the most interesting
and profitable ever taken by the
Houston business men.
The Brownsville country is Hous-
tons territory. 1t is naturally and
ogic ally .Hous'on's, and the
Brownsville road, leading toward
this city as bee line, came here
as logically and as naturally as a
river heads for the sea. The devel-
opment of the country will newt
ably be to Houston's advantage,
for all its rich products must find
an outlet this way. And Houston
will become the mart, the trading
center, the shopping place, the
buying and selling point, and the
great clearing house of the Texas
coast country, magnificent gar
den of riches reaching southwark
400 miles. a section whose wealth
producing capacity is neither equal
ed nor excelled in any quarter OF
this or any other country. And in
years to come the region traversed
by the Gulf Coast Line will con-
tribute much to the greatness OF
the Southwest's great metropolis
Houston.
