Somewhere about half way between

between them and the Rio Grande val

paths in perfect content when sud

II is only a Few years since tnere was

OLD HIGHWAY DESIGNED
FOR PRAIRIE SCHOONER
Trail Over Which Ocean-to- Ocean
Thoroughfare Is Being
Planned.

| When the government, 100 years ago
began the construction of the Cum
berland or Old National road from
tidewater to the Mississippi river the
vehicle for which 1t was designed
was the prairie schooner, and for hall
century an unending procession OF
these ships of the wilderness passed
over it's dusty turnpike carrying plo-
neer families to the ever-recedng Dor
der land.
From St. Louis, the terminus of the
| National road, the prairie schooners
passed over Boones Lick road to old
| Franklin, Mo-, from which point they
| followed the Santa Fe trail. The hrs1
trading trip on this trail was made os
William Bicknell and party OF thirty
men in 1922.
At Santa Fe the older civilization OF
the Spaniard was encountered, and the
history of the Grand Canyon route from
Santa Fe to the coast dates back &c
1541.
Consolidation Is Proposed.
It is for the consolidation of these
ancient roads into single oceanic
ocean highway that the National olo
| Trails Association has been formed
The movement dates from the gooc
roads convention of october 5. 1910, bu'
vention was held April II, 1917. Mucf
| has been accomplished since that date
| More than 100000 was expended IN
| improving this highway in 1914. and
| two millions more have been appro-
| priated for it in 1915.
1t is anticipated that fully $4,000 au-
| tomobiles will pass over it on the way
to the Panama Pacific exposition TINS
year, and special transcont1nental
| tour to the exposition will be made IN
June under the auspices of the Ma
tional Highways Association, the Ma
tional Old Trails Road Association ana
the Automobile Club of Southern Cali
fornia.
Residents of Popu1ous Cities.
The grandchildren Of many Of the
hardy pioneers that passed over the
National Old Trails road when 1t was
a roughly broken trail through an IN
inhabfte wilderness now live IN pop
ulous cities that have sprung up along
the route, and drive their six-cyllnder
touring cars or luxurious Waveriey

every day in the year. Teh most sig

BY J. ED GRILLO.

Some of the old standbys of the New
York Yankees are to be dropped from
the Donovan roster before the next
season opens. Carol Brown. who was
once with Connie Mack's team, is one
of those slated for a change OF clubs.
Ray keating, who pitched but little
last season, is another, and Cole, Nc
Hale and Cottrell are others of the
pitching staff who are to get their
walking papers, according to a state
ment credited to Col Rupert. the prin-
cipal owner of the Yankees. Birdie
Cree and Pete DAILY, two outfielders,
also are to be sent to the minors, and
Donovan will have Il lot of new mate
rial from which to build up his team.
The New York club has the right
idea. There is no use paying salaries

the club out of the second division
There are several clubs which are sure
to make big changes in their line-ups
and Washington like New York, is one
, of them.

to obtain grounds in Manhattan, &C

and Lenox avenue and a block of prop
