their lives on the Oregon trail the
year / crossed 1t.
"The president said he favored AN
appropriation by congress to take the
work in, and of marking the trail.
A bill was introduced appropriating
large amount for that proposition.
This bill was passed upon favorably
by the committee, and is now on the
calendar of the house, and probably
will pass early during the coming
session.
my mission here now is to more
particularly call the attention of the
people to the importance of construct
ing a more permanent monument
than that of a granite shaft here and
there. In other words, to build a
national highway, to be known rs
Pioneer Way, over the general route
of the old Oregon trail, from the Mis-
souri, river to the Puget sound. The
president said it would not do to un-
dertake to introduce suchsa measure
into congress without first getting
state acquisition through which the
road would pass. Now the PROPOSE
tion is to get the states of Washing
ton and Oregon to set the pace, so
to speak, and promise that il the ma
tional government will survey and
estimate the cost of the work, that
each state would guarantee to pro-
vide the right of way, and pay one
half of the expense of building the
road, and hence a measure will be
introduced into our next legislature
to carry into effect the proposed
work. No other way would as effec-
lively perpetuate the memory Of the
Oregon trail for the centuries to come
as that of building a national high
way.
eve all have heard of the Appian
Way of the Roman Empire, built
more than thirty centuries ago, over
which the tide of commerce is now
flowing, but few of us know about
Appian Claudius, the builder OF that
way, other than by this monument
to his name and fame.
II have been treated very kindly
by the people here, for which I am
very thankful. We will proceed
from here to Spokane, to attend the
fair, having yesterday received an
invitation, by telegram, extending
that courtesy by the management"

MEEKER WANTS PIONEER WAY
Pioneer Who Backs Oregon Trail
Plans Tells of His Intentions
and His Work.

Ezra Meeker, pioneer of the north
west, whose pioneer prairie schoon-
er" and OK team is attracting much
attention at the state fair, says that
his mission is to encourage the build
ing of "Pioneer Way" over the gen.
eral route of the old Oregon trail,
and not mere granite shafts. The
pioneer talks Interestingly of his plans
and his work, and says:
II told President Roosevelt that
the Oregon pioneers had fought q
strenuous battle in reaching the Ore
gon country and that the Oregon trail
had become as much battle field as
any battle field of grim war, and that
the results of that migration was as
great as that of any field of carnage.
that in fact the efforts of the Oregon
pioneer saved the Oregon country to
become an American territory instead
of remaining as they found it, a
British colony. Also that the pio-
neers deserve recognition at the
hands of the American people, as
soldiers as much as any soldier of
grim war, and that this expedition
was undertaken with a view to the
making of the old Oregon trail a
battle field, and to honor the pioneers
who made 1t.

SHAW MAKES CHARGES
First Ward Councilman Alleges Chief
Short Has Been Guilty of Mis-.
conduct i'm Office.

AS result of the petition circu-
lated by C. w. Camp and others of
the west side asking for the removal
of Patrolman Mathis, and his sus-
pension for ten days last Thursday by
Chief Short, the exact nature Of
which was not brought out, the city
council Monday evening ordered an
investigation of the police depart
ment of the city.
A petition for the removal of Pa
trolman Mathis was read, signed by
c. w. Camp and others living on the
west side. This petition was laid up
on the table. Councilman Shaw ask
ed of Chief Short if Patrolman Ma
this was working or if he had been
suspended. Chief Short replied that
he was not working; that he (Mathis)
had been suspended because he had
been found off his beat four or five
times. Councilman Shaw read an
opinion delivered by City Attorney
Forsyth in the Officer Pierce case, in
which it was shown that the chief had
no authority to remove a police Gift
Ger without due process of law, and
said that in the Mathis case the let
ter or spirit of the law had not been
followed, and that the chief had over
stepped his authority. Chief Short
said he had suspended Mathis as a
matter of discipline. Mathis stated
that he die not know positively why
he had been suspended.
In the griling at the hands of
Councilman Shaw Chief Short was
asked if it was customary "to strip
small boys naked when searching
them" 1t was alleged by Council
man Shaw that the Dragoo boy, ar
rested a short time ago for fast driv-
ing on the street. was deprived for a
time of all of his clothing in the po-
lice station by the chief, laying the
city liable to damage in case the boy
became i'll as a result of exposure.
Shaw asked to have his charge made
a matter of record 1t was also
charged by Shaw that Chief Short
had used abusive and profane Ian
guage to others who had been in the
police station on various charges.
The chief in reply stated that in
handling criminals different methods
were adopted than in the governing
of others, and entered a denial of the
charges of Councilman Shaw.
In a speech before the council
Councilman Meigs declared that the
conditions in the police force were
bad, and that the affair was disgust
ing and disagreeable. He stated
that he was tired of the present con-
ditions, and said that at no time dur
Ing the past five or six months had
there been harmony between the po-
licemen and their chief, and further
that the most of the III will and lack
of harmony was between PatrOlman
Mathis and the chief. He said the
police committee was to blame for
the conditions in the department,
and recommended to the council that
a full and sweeping investigation be
started, and If the chief was right
to back him up.
Patrolman Mathis stated in five
minute talk that he would expose the
petitioners by evidence in his pos
session, and at the conclusion of his
remarks was heartily applauded.
Chief Short stated that he courted
the fullest investigation, and that
he had not suspended Mathis on ac-
count of the petition or any of his
yelled hints.

CARRIER IS HELD
TO GRAND JURY
w. G. Walters, Aged 20, Serving on
HiIsdaIe Rural Route, is Bound
over for Taking Money.

After making good all the money
he took, William G. Walters, carrier
on the rural mail route No. 2, out of
Hilisdale, has been bound over to the
federal grand jury under $500 bail,
for appropriating money given him for
money orders. Walters is but 20 years
old, and claims that the first time he
appropriated any money was at a
time when he was out of cash and re-
ceived word that his mother was ill
in a distant city. He collected money
from farmers to buy money orders to
be sent to nail order houses. When
, the farmers failed to receive their
goods, they investigated, and were
told that no orders had been received
Walters then returned the money. He
was arrested and given a hearing be
fore Commissioner Elliott at Peoria
Wednesday. He furnished bail to
await the action of the April grand
jury.

Manager Jack Tighe of the local

been for several days. Jack brings
with him the welcome news that
George Harden, the much sought after
pitcher who has been the property of
the local club for the last two years,
will report for work next spring. Ii
will be remembered that Harden was
given a trial the first year Tighe was
here and being then new at the game
he failed to show his real value and
it hurt his feelings to such an extent
that he disappeared from the team af-
ter few days. Efforts were made
last year to get him to return but he
