fitted by William Morrison of Kas-
kaskia ILL.,, in 1904, and was dis
patched for the far southwest in
charge of a trader named La Lande.
He never returned, and it is commonly
believed that he reached Santa Fe in
safety and there settled down to en-
joy life at the expense of his en-
ployer. 1t was a profitable trip for
La Lande, if not for Morrison. Two
years later Lieut.. Zebulon M. Pike set
forth upon his famous expedition.
His report revealed to Americans the
opportunities for profitable trade with
northern Mexico; led to the estab-
lishment of the great and remunera-
tive traffic over the Santa Fe Trail,
and resulted ultimately in the war of
conquest against the southern repub-
lie, and in the annexation of the en-
pire of the southwest to the United
States. Before Pixies expedition lit
tie was known of distances, directions,
obstacles or opportunities in the great
and underlined region called Kan
zas." He mapped the way from the
Great Bend of the Arkansas to the
Rocky mountains, and thence to Santa
Fe and Chihuahua, blazing the trail
for the irresistible progress of the
American pioneers beyond the Mis-
souri,.
After Pike-who was anything but
trader-the first traders to journey to
Santa Fe were those of the Baird, Nc
knight and Chambers party, consist
ing of IL men, who started in 1906.
They were seized, taken to Chihuahua,
and cast into prison, where they re-
manned for nine heart-breaking years,
or until the blossoming of Iturbide's
power, when they were set free. On
the return journey Mcknight was
killed by Indians, but Baird and Cham
bers reached civilization in safety,
and in 1922 organized another expedi-
ton. This was late in starting, so
that the animals froze to DEATH and
the traders had to winter at the cross
ing of the Arkansas. In 1921, William
Becknell started for the Missouri
river, intending to trade with the In
dams of the Arkansas valley; but he
was met by some Mexicans, who per-
suaded him to continue on to Santa
Fe. His trip was successful, and the
next year he tried it again, taking
three wagons along. Although he was
not the first to make the journey, yet
he is known as the Father of the San
ia Fe Trail" That is the tribute the
world pays to success.
Turning Point of Destiny.
Thus was inaugurated the first over
land commerce by way of the Santa
Fe Trail. The journey was small in
comparison with some of the trade
routes established by the Spaniards
long before in South America and al
most trifling compared with that over
the Oregon Trail that came shortly
after; but it was at least three times
as long as any commercial journey by
land ever before undertaken by the
American people, and in danger and
hardship it was without previous
parallel in our national life. 1t marked
one of the turning points of destiny,
because it was the beginning of the
great drama of the Winning of the
West-the great west beyond the Mis-
souri,. History has not yet done justice
to the Santa Fe Trail.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
FEATURE Of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, Dec. S.-The>presentation of
the Presidents annual message TO Con-
8ress being the principal event of the
day was seized upon for attempted use as
. motive for a price movement in a dull,
marrow and professional stock market.
Stocke were bid up on the assumption
that the ehect Of the recommendation of
the message would be favorable to values.
The substance of the document was ac-
cnrately known beforehand in many
brokers' Offices. It's effectiveness a
stimulant to new operations i'll stock
proved to have been over-estimated, as
shown by the decrease in activity Of the
dealings after its appearance and the
cropping tendency of prices. In view of
the extent OF the reiteration of views in
the message in many instances coveerd
by citation OF the precedent, it was not
surprising that lack of material for new
Speculative decision should be found. Sat
1Sfaction was caused, however, by the de-
nunciation Of the folly Of the effort to
prohibit all comEina tionS contained In the

stocks were the sustaining feature of the
market and Erie was included in the
group in the same manner as was the

what depressed by the continued uneasi-
ness over the situation in the Balkans
and by the illness Of the King of Eng
land. The price of copper was again
marked down at the New York Metal Ex

in the sterling exchange at Paris, leaving

Georeia's Property in Tennessee.


BY an almost unanimous vote both
houses of the general assembly have
decided to go in a body to Chatta-

familiar with the value and extent of
the states 9orperty located there.
But we believe that this visit to
Chattanooga by the entire member
ship of the Legislature viii result in
great good The people of Georgia
have a vague idea that the state
owns some kind of property at Chat
tanooga which is more or less valu-
able, but even those who are fairly
well informed on the subject had their
eyes opened when il was announced
short time ago that responsible
parties in that city were willing to
pay the state a rental equivalent to
4 per cent on 100000 for the pro-
perty located there, exclusive of
what is necessary for present termin-
al facilities. We owe it to ourselves
to protect this property and to han
die it to the best advantage for the
