I Wanta Go Back 10 Oregon.

The editor Of The Leader was q vis-
itor to the county seat, Friday. This
was our first visit to Oregon, and we
were well pleased with the appearance
Of the town. Oregon is situated up
among the hills in such q way that x
II was on a railroad il might become
one OF the large cities of Missouri.
As II is there are some fine homes
there. The editor of The Leader spent
the day with Tom Curry and Deacon
Dobyns, of the Oregon Sentinel, one
Of the oldest and best known weekly
newspapers In the State of Missouri.
We were sorry we were not able TO
spend more time with Mr.. Dobyns,
whom We regard as the best read man
we have met in Holt county thus far.

Joseuh Willett, burlington Conductor.
Has Travelled That Far.

How would you like to travel 4,00O,-
900 miles In the United States and
try all the time TO make other trav-
elers see what Is along the way ?
Joseph Willett, who passes through
Chicago every ten days, probably
holds the travel record. He crosses
the continent from Boston to San
Francisco, Los Angeles and back ev-
cry three weeks. On his latest trip
through this city few days ago Mr..
Willett completed his 300th round
trip.
Mr.. Willett Is a tourist conductor
In the employ of the Burlington rail-
road. He estimates he has Travelled
q distance equal to 1000 times around
the world, or from the earth TO the
moon, but says he feels as young and
spry as he did at 35, although he is
close to twice that age. He says that
he would rather ride hundred miles
in a railroad train than five In an
automobile.
"Uncle Joe" Is perhaps the best
known railroad conductor in the
United States. Children are frequent
ly placed In his care to be taken West
or East TO relatives or friends. Re
Gently he took o 5-year-old child all
the way from Salt Lake City TO
