Meeker Friday night addressed the St
Louis Automobile Manufacturers and
Dealers Association at the Washing.
ton hotel on "The Oregon Trail and
National Highways"
Mr.. Meeker said the famous trail
which practically started from st. Lou
is should be perpetuated by a great
national highway upon which automo-
bile tourists could spend their vaca-
tiens instead of going abroad. He
urged the association to do all in it's
power to secure the passage of the
appropriation bill now before congress
to build monuments along the trail.
Mr.. Meeker said President Roosevelt
had told him the federal government
should build such a highway. The
automobile association will probably

states ana Japan.
st. Petersburg, March 16.-The de-
cision of the American government to
send the American battleships now at
Magdalena bay back to the Atlantic
by way of the Suez canal and Europe
comes as an acute disappointment to
the bellicose element in the Russian
army and navy, for these officers re-
garded the fleets departure from
Hampton Roads as the first step in an
inevitable war in which the preten-
sions of the Island Empire were to be
humbled.
Furthermore, the announcement
that the fleet is not to remain in the
Pacific is considered an indication that
the war cloud between the United
States and Japan has been indefinitely
dissipated.
The desire frequently has been ex-
pressed here that a detachment of the
Aemrican fleet should visit Russia.
