A PIONEER OF THE
OREGON TRAIL

In the Interesting People" depart
ment Of the February American
Magazine appear sketch and photo
graph of Ezra Meeker, who, when
seventy-six years old, set out alone
from oregon with an OK team and a
prairie schooner, and spent nearly a
year travelling with them to Indian
apolis-the beginning Of the old Or.
egon trail. All along the way he
set up monuments to mark of his
historic route. In 1856 Mr.. Meeker
as a young man went over the Ore
gon trail with his wife. He went in
a prairie schooner hauled by oxen,
and settled near Puget Sound. In
1906, at the age of seventy-six he
went over the route again. Follow.
ing is an extract from the article
about him:
Ezra Meeker wanted to retrace his
route and he wanted oxen. They
were hard to get in these days OF

ter long search he procured, Dave

and the realization OF the dream OF
a lifetime was begun.
1T would be interesting to follow
Mr.. Meeker and his OK team through

traversed its circuitous route, there
was nothing but wilderness. Wherev-

WHAT HAS BEEN
SHOWN BY SIX
MONTHS Of WAR

Six months after the outbreak of
the world war the outstanding fact
was that peace seemed as distant,
almost more distant than It did in
September. Yet II the close Of the
conflict remained still a subject for
speculation, il was now plain that
the issue had been determined in
September and that all that had hap
pened since the Battle of the Marne
had In fact been the natural conse-
quence of one more decisive battle
of the world. On fields and hills but
little distant from the plain where

In the opening month OF the war
there was chance, a real chance
that Germany might destroy France

no other permanent consequence
than to insure the loss OF German
Southwest Africa. In Asia her col
ony had disappeared into Japanese
hands, in the Pacific her islands we're
lost irrevicably, In Africa her re-
naming colonies were being slowly

tended toward the defensive. What
Gettysburg had been to, the South,
the Marine was now proving TO have
been to Germany. Nowhere in Janu-

new promise for German victory and
what was true in January had been
true in the earlier months.
Half year of war had given his
tory one more decisive battle for
Europe conceivably the greatest in

RUPTURE or ATH.
LET|C RELATIONS
Is Net Unlikely Between the Two
State institutions, According
to Reports

There Is a prospect that a rupture
of athletic relations between the Ag-
gies and the U. of u. may occur In
the immediate future, as the result
of demand made upon the Uniyer-
sity basketball manager by Manager
Lewis of the Aggie hoop team. This
demand or perhaps 1t would be more
pleasing to say request, was that the
U. guarantee the Aggies $50 when
they play in Salt Lake and the Ag.
gies in turn offered to guarantee a
similar amount when the U. comes
here to play basketball. Coach Teet-
eel stood back of his manager in
this equest and assumed that 1t
won d be granted as that is the usu-
al course Of procedure in football
and track meets. Somehow the mat
ter fell into the hands of DR.. J. +.
Merrill of the University Athletic
Council and he at once injected the
sentimental issue of the college ath-
letic authorities being unable to trust
the University athletic folk. That
has not helped the matter at all.
Behind the request OF the Aggies
is this: A few years ago the Aggies
hired the b. Y. C. gym. having none
of their own at that time and made
all other arrangements to meet the
Utah U. basketball team in league
game. A crowd of 500 assembled
and waited for long time for the
appearance of the u team and then
came the announcement that It could

OUT OF DEBT
CHAIRMAN FINNIE SIGNS WAR
RANT THAT CLEANS UP
LAKE COUNTY.

Wednesday evening, July Z, 1915.
at the conclusion of the days work
Of the Lake county commissioners,
Chairman d. NJ. Finnie signed a war
rant which pays off the eQtire bonded
Indebtedness of Lake county. The
warrant was in the sum of $15,-
1880, the larger sum as principal
and the latter as accrued interest.
The last and only Lake county bond
outstanding for which the warrant
was issued was final payment of the
old courthouse bonds which have
been hanging over the county for
years. The debt could have been
paid some time ago, but the security
and the interest were so good that
the owner Of the bond declined to
loosen on it until complete maturity.
Lake county is entirely out of debt
bonded indebtedness. Think Of
it, No o e%xhiliarating feeling
can come over a business man than
when he can say in his w mind, II
owe no man a dollar" The same ex-
%hiliaration will be felt by every pa
triotic citizen of Lake county when
he reads the announcement that his
county is entirely out of debt
thanks to the efficiency of their coun-
ty commissioners.
Chairman Finnie is serving his
third term as county commissioner.
and from the moment he entered of
fee his aim has been to place the
county on a sound financial basis,
and with the assistance of his co
workers he has reached his goal. 1t
may be said that he has been sit
ting on the lid" his main object be
ing to relieve the county of its bond
ed indebtedness.
1t was only a day or two ago that
The Daily Leader announced the pay
ment by the Madison city commission
of city bonded indebtedness to the
amount of $4,000, and now comes
the county with the payment of S15.-
600, making sos. 900 bonded indebt-
edness paid Off by Madison and Lake
county i'm the present month of July.
Where is there a city and county in
the state that can beat the record,
especially when it is taken into ac-
count that the county is entirely free
from debt, and with an assessed valu-
alton of S1.600.00O the city of Mad
ison at the present time carries a
bonded indebtedness Of only $40 ,000,
of which S65, 900 are sewer bonds.
the easiest paid of any bonds ISSUED?
Future permanent improvements
in Lake county are now i'm line, and
with the excellent record of the coun-
ty commissioners the people of the
county have reason to believe that
their affairs will be handled and nee
essary improvements made on the
same judieious system that has here
tofore characterized the acts Of their
officials. But for the county TO be
entirely free from debt is good
enough for the present.

MADISON BALL TEAM
ORGANIZATION WHICH Is DIES
TINED TO MAKE GOOD.

A baseball team has been organic
ed in Madison which gives every in
dication of making good. The team
has played eight games since their
organization, in all of which they
have been successful which is an as
that the boys have got the
mettle in them. Following is the
personnel of the team:
Bargman. G.; Leteher, p; Letcher,
SIS; REESE, h.; Donaldson. 2b.;
Busse. 3b.; Simpson. IT,; Allen, ef.;
Hutchinson, rf..; Albertson, p.
Busse is captain of the team while
Simpson is the manager. They are
all Madison boys except Hutchinson.
who recently came to the city and is a
ball player of experience, having
played two years with the Boston
Boomers, two seasons with the Fort
Williams, Me-, team and n season
with the Oklahoma Indians.
OF the eight games played and won
by the team four were with Lake
View, two with Rutland, Colman and
Ramona. The last game played with
Rutland was a shutout-9 to O.. AL
bertson pitched for the home team
and allowed the Rutlands only one
hit while he handed them fourteen
strike outs. Only three Rutlands
reached second base during the game,
and only two erorrs were marked
against the home team.
The team comprises altogether
new baseball talent and the boys are
all clean and of good character. SO
favorably have the business men of
the city been impressed with them
that they subscribed a fund of $40
for the purchase of new uniforms
which have been ordered and will be
here in a few days. Manager Simp-
son is negotiating with DeSmet and
the Flandreau Indians for games,
with other games in prospect, and
everything points toward fine base
ball sport in the city during the sea
son. The fact is the boys are hunt
ing for fast players.

where he was employed, George Fos-
ter, manager of an elevator company
In Farmer, had a narrow escape from
being crushed to death. He received
injuries which may permanently
make him an invalid. He was trying
to slip a drive belt when the wheel
caught the raincoat he was wearing,
tearing the coat to shreds and wrap
ping the man around the wheel and
finally throwing him under it. Eye
witnesses state that his head at one
time was actually between the rim of

engine was stopped and he was res
cued, he was unconscious. At the
time of the accident his wife was out
of town attending the funeral of a
brother.

IDENTITY
Sioux Warrior Is Victim of a Mistake.

Rapid City, July because of
the coincidence in his taking the
same train for Rapid City upon which
an Indian named Mrs. Bare
back travelled, Clement Whirlwind
Soldier, a Sioux warrior belonging on
the Rosebud reservation, was arrest
ed as he stepped from the train here
on a complaint from the reservation
that he was clipping from the reser-
walton with the Indian m 1t
developed that the Indian woman
was accompanied by her little girl
and was provided with a ticket for
Rushville, Neb., while Whirlwind Sol
der had a ticket to Deadwood. Thus
their arrival in Rapid City on the
same train was a coincidence, and
the authorities, after securing the
facts set forth, had no other recourse
than to release the Sioux warrior.
