FARMERS MUST AID
Cooperate With Railroads, Says Z. p.
Official to Governor.

If Kansas farmers would dodge a
car shortage this fall, they must CO.
operate with the railroads in the ship
ment of grain. That was the warning
which w. D. Lincoln, superintendent
of transportation for the Union Pa
cific, today sent to Governor Capper.
Lincoln admits there is a car short
age. He admits conditions will not
improve as the demand for cars in
creases But the situation can be
somewhat relieved through the CO.
operation of the farmers. the letter
states. He then cites instances where
farmers are holding cars in Kansas
City pending the sale of their grain.
Farmers should arrange for the dis
posal of their grain before it is
shipped, was the suggestion in Lin
coins letter. Through failure of the
farmers to provide for the sale of
their grain, nine Union Pacific cars
ere now held in the Kansas City yards
through action of Kansas farmers and
shippers Of course the farmers are
NJ ying demurrage while waiting for
an advance in grain prices. At the
same time they are denying their
neighbors of a chance TO make ship
ments. Lincoln stated that the rail-
roads were seeking to improve con-
ditions and would work with the gov
ernor and the utilities commission in
relieving the situation. But the farm
ers and shippers he declares, should
&c their share.

The Oregon trail was originally
blazed by De la Verendrye in 1742.
1t was used by the Mormons seeking
q new land of liberty and was finally
lost in maelstrom of railroads and
advancing civilization. 1t was res
cued from oblivion by Ezra Meeker in
a more recent trip by OK team from
the western terminus of the trail to
the eastern end. On the way he in
terested the people in the road and
monuments were erected at many
places.
Believes in Preparedness.
Mr.. Meeker believes in prepared
ness. He also believes in erecting a
lasting monument to the memory of
the pioneers of the west who biazed
the first trails. Both these objects can
be accomplished by the establishment
of this trail as a national highway and
Mr.. Meeker is trying to interest gov
eminent officials and the officials of
each state through which the route
passes, in getting the bill through con-
gress. A bill providing for a survey
of the route is now before that body.
The vehicle in which Mr.. Meeker
and his one companion, Ernest Grote,
of Ottawa, Ill, are travelling, is a
twelve cylinder Pathfinder car with a
prairie schooner top 1t is an I'M
usual combination of the past and the
pa mt, and the machine draws a
crowd Wherever II Stops NO limo IS
set for the conclusion of the trip. Mr..
Nleeker gives lectures along the way,
stopping at any place as long as is
convenient.
Route 1850 Miles Long.
The route over which he is travel
ing, and which is the proposed route
of the national military highway, is
1850 miles long. On the way Mr..
Meeker sells postcard pictures of him
self and his car. and he also has a
book which he wrote himself, with
the complete history of the Oregon
trail and of his long and interesting
life. The Oregon trail extends from
Kansas City to Olympia, but the new
military road would run from Kansas
City on to Washington and Baltimore.
The pioneer way passes through six
cities of more than 100, 900 population,
seven of more than $50 and a total
of ATS cities, towns and villages At
all of these places Mr.. Meeker stops
and lectures and carries the cause to
city. county and state officials.
