FINDS OLD OREGON TRAIL MAP
Edmund D. Hicks Made an Interesting
Discovery While Rummaglng
Through an Old Trunk.

Kansas City ~ While rummaging
around in an old trunk containing a
lot of old papers and family effects,
Edmund D. Hicks, 2109 Belleyiew ave
nue., found an interesting old map, the
property of his father, which outlined
the course of the Oregon trail marked
out by Capt. John Q. Fremont on his
western expedition in June, 1912. The
course began at Westport landing
near the mouth Of the Kaw river, on
June II, and went southwest through
the town of Westport across Turkey
creek and Joined the old Santa Fe
trail from independence, 20 miles from
Westport landing.
According to the field notes of Cap
tain Fremont the party halted at noon
that day near the spot where Olathe,
Kas., now is. They left the Santa Fe|
trail that same day, and the next day
they crossed the Kakarusa river near
Lawrence, continuing the course west
along the Kaw river Lawrence, To
peka and other cities now lying along
the Kaw are features which have
come since the tour of Captain Ere
mont. None Of them is noted on the
map. They crossed the Kaw near the
present site Of Topeka, and struck out
north along the Little Blue river. and
struck the Platte river st Grand Is
land. The territory is marked here
and there with regard to the Indian
tribes encountered. Pawnees, Sioux
and Snake Indians inhabited the coun-
try they traversed. Notes along the
way to Captain Fremont tell posterity
that near Westport, elk and deer, the
only game, are very scarce.
The first herd Of buffalo was sighted
BY Fremont's party on June so, S66
miles from Westpdrt landing. Ere
mont complains from time to time that
the Indians steal provisions at night
and on one or two occasions, made an
open attack on the scouting party
The trail ended at Fort Walla Walla,
among the Nez Perces Indians, Oc.
tober 27, 1872 The course from West
port landing to its terminus is 1,67O
miles long.
The map was made and compiled by
Charles Preuss, a member Of Ere;
mont's party, in 1886. and was litho-
graphed by order Of the United States
senate by p. Weber & Co, Baltimore.

An interesting Relic
written by F.)


Hundreds Of years ago in Japan,
there was a Jap named All Yong who
made living by painting vases, jars.
fans and dishes. He was one Of the
most remarkable painters Of the time
and his pieces of art were costly
All Yong was engaged to be married
to a lovely Japanese girl whose name
was Flower and he decided to paint
her wedding gift. He chose a Rose
Jar and when finished it was a master
piece. 1t was about ten inches high
and the shape of a Japanese pergola.
On the four sides of it, amid daintily
colored flowers, birds and butterflies,
he painted the lovely Flower. It was
beautiful and he decided to surprise
beautiful and he decided to surprise her
Of his servants told one of Flowers
servants and it soon reached her ears.
1t happened that an English tourist
chanced into All Yong's home and
wanted to buy the beautiful Rose-Jar
but All Yong obstinately refused. The
Englishman had promised his daugh-
ter that he would bring her the most
beautiful piece of art he could find
in Japan, and he instantly saw that
the Rose-jar would be the most beau
tiful.
After much thought on the matter
he decided to bribe one of All Yong's
servants to steal it for him. The SER
want readily accepted the bribe and
the Englishman sailed for England
with the masterpiece, which had All
Yong's name daintily written across
the bottom, with gold letters.
When All Yong discovered that the
Rose-jar had been stolen he flew into
fit of rage and walked deep into
the forest to cool his wrath. He knew
that ne would not have time to paint
another and that his bride would be
very much disappointed. Soon he lost
his way and wandered all night in
the woods. Here a part Of his body
was found a few days later after he
had been killed by hungry beasts.
The Englishman gave the Rose-jar
to his daughter and she was delight

ration to generation as one of the
most precious heirlooms.
A few years ago professional

no value sold it to curiosity dealer
to get rid Of it.
The Rosejar was bought by gen

gave it to a young girl who prizes il

about its value or history. She keeps

The End Of the Term
(written by E.)

The shadows were deepening about
the prison walls. Night came on,
and with it came the moon, full, clear,
and bright. Through the barred win
dow the moonbeams crept, timfdly
lingering about the pale face Of a
young man, who was standing near
the window thoughfully looking out
towards the far off tower.
His eyes filled with tears as he
thought of those he had left in that
far off town, but he disgustingly wiped
the tears away and his face hardened
while his mind was filled with
thoughts of hatred and revenge.
He became almost Respondent as
he planned means of escape. But
as he was planning he suddenly re-
membered that the end of his term
was drawing near AS the thought Of
being free once more came to him,
for an instant his eyes frightened and
he family smiled, but the smile soon
faded and his eyes narrowed and his
mind again was filled with bitter
thoughts.
Weary of the world and fatiguel
by the days work, he soon retired
for the night. His was not sound
sleep but a restless one.
One day the convict was summoned
to the office of the superintendent,
and was very much surprised when
ne was told that the end of his term
had come. After he had been duly
prepared he was given advice, which
he took cody, and money which he
took eagerly. Then he set out, free
man, to start life anew.
Determined to avenge himself for
his misfortunes he INDUCED in all
vices and wrongs. His chief trait
was that of stealing. He did not
have home, but slept in old barns,
or sheds. Soon he became very shap-
by and filthy and also very thin. He
did not stay in one place long but
went wandering from town to town.
He had arrived at small town and
had been stealing for his living. The
sun had set and it was growing dusk.
Clouds gathered in the sky and as
the moon did not come out, it became
dark very soon. He crept around the
corner of a small house and groped
his way towards the kitchen window.
AS he looked in he became very pale
and staggered backward as if he
would fall He tried to regain control
of himself SO as to go away, but he
could not, something held him back.
Once or twice he seemed to have
made up his mind, and he went to-
wards the kitchen door, but then turn
ed away again. He tried to unfasten
the gate but his hands trembled so
he could not At last his mind was
made up and he walked resolutely to
the door, opened it, and went in.
For moment taere was absolute
stiffness, then a scream Of surprise
and the next moment his mother was
sobbing in his arms. They were tears
Of both joy and sorrow. The son was

MINING STOCKS COME BACK.
Investors Surprised at Value Of Sup
posedly Worthless Securities.

| It Is apt to be true that a great
many of the mining stocks which are
put out in the midst of boom will
never amount to much. When every
one is excited over gold discoveries,
extravagances are certain to be In
dulged. It is remarkable. however,
how little one can safely assume con-
corning the outcome of any venture,
even under such conditions. Some
times the management or property
from which we expect the least turns
out to be the best. For this reason. 1t
is not wise for the holder Of doomed
stocks to assume that they are OF
small value, simply because the i'm
preston Is spread about that specu-
lative bubble has burst, says the Daily
Mining Record.
! Recently we received a letter from
the stockholders of an old Nevada
company, one which was promoted
during the boom period which ended In
1907. The stakeholder was satisfied
but was anxious to assure himself Of
this fact. After a little inquiry we
were able to tell this stakeholder that
this company was still doing business
and that 1t possessed valuable ,rop-
erty. His surprise was amusing.
In the development of mineral pros
poets there must be some disappoint-
ments 1t Is not the stakeholder alone
that has this experience; the prospect
or. the man who has the most at stake,
but nevertheless keeps after this type
of fortune year after year, knows bet
ter than anyone what 1t means to
seek the elusive gold vein without
success. Nevertheless, there are many
opportunities to record the fortunate
results Of chance in mining. 1t is not
to be supposed that speculative oc-
cupatiOn like that of the prospect,r
and the early developer could contipu.
to attract adherents and survive all
the tales Of SANDER that II suffers were
not sufficient element Of fortune in
1t to keep 1t alive. Nothing is more
absurd than the argument Of the ig-
noramus against an industry witch
has actually built the empire of the
west.
Instances are numerous in which in
vestors In mines have been agreeably
surprised at the results they have Sc
cured. The thing which 1t requires
learned psychologist to explain is why
there should be any element of sur
prise In the discovery Of good luck,
when the individual has delibe lately
chosen to invest money in mining
stocks upon the strength of al'urirg
reports. The man who builds upon
knowledge is never surprised at any
thing. He foresees results befor.
seeking them. That which surprises
most OF us In the west Is. the failure of
so many men to seize the fascinating
experience Of mining. This very fas-
cination Is half the reward; why no:
try 1t and see for yourself
