CONCRETE STEEL
TRACT SHOWS LIFE
Especial to THE TrMEs.l

East Chicago, Dec. 11.-There are
signs of life on the tract bought some
time ago by the Concrete Steel Products
company at 145th street and the c., l.
& S. tracks. where what is to be large
barn-lilxe structure is under process of
erection
The large barn-like structure is to be
used as a warehouse by the Leonard
Construction company of Chicago,
which concern will store it's = - -
there during the winter. The = siste
Construction company and the Coz. ~,
Steel Products company are offiliated.
the former being one of the largest
concerns of its kind in Chicago 1t
handles all the concrete work for the
Illinois Central railroad, and its stores
are in consequence immense.
The switch tracks from the c., T. &
s. railroad are already laid and work
on the building will be carried forward
as rapidly as possible
The building is not to be a perma-
nent one and will probably be torn
down in the spring when work on the
plant of the owners OF the site will
commence in earnest on their plant

CHAPTER XIV.
The WhoahaW Trail.

The WhoahaW Trail.
There are no pleasures where women
are not.-Marie de Romba.
In our own caravan, now pressing
on for the general movement west Of
the Missouri, there was material for a
hundred canvases. The world of our
great western country was then still
before us. A stern and warlike people
was resolved to hold it and increase
it. Of these west-bound I now was
one. I felt the JOY of that thought.
was going west.
The old trail to Oregon was laid
out by no government, arranged by no
engineer, planned by no surveyor, sup
ported by no appropriation. It sprang.
a road already created, from the earth
itself, covering 1000 miles of our
country. Why? Because there was
need for that country to be covered
by such a trail at such time. Be-
cause we needed Oregon.
We carried with us all the elements
of society, as has the Anglo-Saxon
ever. Did any man offend against the
unwritten creed of fair play, did he
shirk duty when that meant danger
to the common good, then he was
brought before a council of our lead
ers, men of wisdom and fairness,
chosen by the vote of all; and SO he
was judged and he was punished. AT
that time there was not west of the
Missouri river any one who could adj
minister an oath, who could execute
legal document, or perpetuate any
legal testimony; yet with us the law
marched pari passu across the land.
We had leaders chosen because they
were fit to lead, and leaders who felt
full sense of responsibility to those
who chose them.
At the head of our column, we bore
the flag of our republic. On our tanks
were skirmishers, like those guarding
the tanks of an army. 1t was an
army-an army of our people. With
us marched women. With US marched
home. That was the difference be-
tween our cavalcade and that slower
and more selfish one, made up of men
alone, which that same year was
faring westward along the upper
reaches of the Canadian plains. That
was why we won. 1t was because
women and plows were with us.

personal and official correspondence,
which necessarily was very heavy.
This work We customarily began about
nine of the morning. On the following
day | was on hand earlier than usual.
| was done with Washington now,
done with everything, eager only to
be off on the far trails once more.
But l almost forgot my own griefs
when l saw my chief. Over him hung
an air of utter WEAKNESS; yet, shame
to my own despair, energy showed in
all his actions. He greeted me with a
smile which strangely lighted his grim
face.
we have good news of some kind
this morning, sir?'' l inquired.
In answer, he motioned me to a
document which lay open upon his
table. 1t was familiar enough to me.
l glanced at the bottom. There were
two signatures
"TeXas agrees." l exclaimed. "The
Dona Lucrezia has won Van Zandt's
signature!"
[ looked at him. His own eyes were
swimming wet! This, then, was that
man of whom it is only remembered
that he was pro-slavery champion,
1--WE are certain to encounter oppo-
sition. The senate may not ratify,"
said he. II am perfectly well ad-
vised of how the vote will be when
this treaty comes before it for rati-
fication. We will be beaten, two to
one!"
Then, does that not end it,"
END it? No! There are always
other ways. If the people of this coun-
try wish Texas to belong to our flag,
she will SO belong. 1t is good as done
today. Never look at the obstacles;
look at the goal! 1t was this intrigue
of Van Zandt's which stood in our
way. BY playing one intrigue against
another, we have won thus far We
must go on winning!"
