Mornay Athey was called to Port
land yesterday afternoon by the news
that his brother had been seriously
injured. Mr. Athey says that he will
not return to Dallas, but will make
his home in Portland for the present,
at least.
L. J. Arnold, of Portland, has
entered into negotiations with the
Industrial Fair Com mittee to bring
a number of his carnival attractions
to Dallas during the three days of the
Fair, September 80 and October
and 2.
Prune picking will he commenced
in the r. L. Chapman orchard today
and in NJ. M. Ellis orchard in North
Dallas, Monday morning. 1t is
anticipated that the crop in this
will be fully as heavy and
Of as fine quality as that OF the two
previous years.

government ownership idea Of the 1907

crop of '9s, or perhaps, the free silver

EZRA MEEKER AT STATE FAIR
Noted Pioneer of the Oregon Trail
Fame is at Salem With His
Prairie Schooner.

There is one interesting exhibit a.
the fair that has a world Of signiticancs
for the people Of the west Il is tie
old Conestoga, or prairie schooner
OF Ezra Meeker, the pioneer who made
the wonderful and famous trip east
several years ago over the old Ore
gon trail'' for the purpose of getting
the government interested in putting
up monuments over the trail 10 mark
its course The long, inverted wedge
like wagon brought many memories
to the old folks as it stood on the
grounds with the oxen quietly feeding
beside it, 1t brought recollections Of
long dusty stretches Of plain, narrow
and precipitous mountain gorges,
treacherous fords, thrilling escapes
from hostile Indians and exciting ad-
ventures with wild animals.
The old wagon is almost pencilltd .
over with the names of many people.
1t first came over the plains in the
early "50s," but still is in good condi-
tion, though here and there are scars.
The old wagon shows vividly to the
younger generation the means by
which their fathers and grandfathers
crossed the continent in the search for
new homes. These conestogas were
the advance guards of empire and are
n fOrcefnl rem Under of thpsa on rlv dave
Of struggles.
Meeker started from the coast on
January 30, 1906, and arrived in
d. c., November 30, 1907.
He started with two oxen, but one died
)n the trip and he had TO secure
another at Omaha. The OK which &
made the entire trip is named Dave"
md is a big one
Mr.. Meeker is white-headed. He is
living in small Indian-like tent near e
lis old wagon. He is holding recep-
ions with the old pioneers who come
o the fair, and there is quite a num- l
'er there all the time. He has written
book called the Oregon Trail"
'hich be is selling. He also has
'ostal cards on which are views taken i
nroute to the east. He expects to ]
peak to fair audience on his propo-
ion for the Oregon trail monuments
efore the fair closes.-Salem States

the slippery road to the river.
There was hardly any breeze stirring, but
the air was keen and biting,

As the boat neared the centre of the river,

The stranger seemed relieved at this. He
thrust his hands deep into his overcoat pockets
and calmly faced the receding shore Just as
half dozen horsemen, plainly seen in the
moonlight, trotted to the waters edge.
Their voices hoated out on the river, loud
and confused:
s.He's slipped away from us!"
s"Ihere he goes, in yonder ferry boat!"
"Can't we find crossing place%
These were some of the sentences that
Teddy's sharp ears caught.
At that moment an old bell pealed sonor-
ously on the shore that the boat was approach.

perceived that the boat was moving his way.
