found temporary freedom on the lin
itless surface of the --LATEST of fiat
plains.
One can hardly look upon such a
trail unmoved. Every yard of it has
a story to tell. The history of Ameri-
can expansion is writ large over its
SCARED or mutilated surface. The
ruts of the past may have cut into
it until there is left a high, grass
tufted crown, dangerous for traffic,
or it has been churned into fine dust
and now resembles a dry river bed.
But the path which has fallen into
desuetude once guided the footsteps
of the Oregon trailers, first of West
ern h~omeseekers and empire build
ers, or the 'F~orty-niners, or the Nor
mons on the great hegira, and has
been handed on to their logical sue
cessors, the cowboy and the sheep
herder, till cities and settlements and
farms began to obliterate or to trans
form it.
A thousand pities that the genuine
trail of the wilderness is growing
rarer and rarer with the passing
years! The ruthless pillow or the
builder of the highways usurps more
and more of the primitive path. An
other civilization transplants the new
upon the. old, and the spoliation goes
almost unheeded, while school books
fail to indicate the pathos of the an
track. or tell of it's historic sig
.nificance to the coming generation.
Will there yet arise the good genius
of the trail, who shall be able to pre-
serve intact for posterity what is
still left of the old American wagon
tracks ?-[Christian Science Monitor.

TOO MUCH TALK OF
BACK TO THE SOIL

A California newspaper tells a
story about a beautiful young woman
down along the middle state seacoast
somewhere who has forsaken society
and is living the life of a hermit,
wearing ~overalls and going barefoot,
with her yellow hair hanging down
her back. This does not stir up the
tear ducts sor the secret recesses of
u immortal soul as much as maybe
it would if We did not stop to think
that a woman who goes around in
overalls and bare feet is not roman
tic. A woman in overalls looks like
a sack of meal with a string tied
around the middle of it; and If her
hair is hanging down her back as she
treads the mighty forest it is full of
dead leaves, and maybe other things;
her Grecian nose is peeled like an
onion with sunburn, and her face is
as freckled as a politicians past rec
ord. while her dear little pink toes
are hard and dirty. The dear and
ever-lovable woman who wears
clothes and is not a stranger to the
bathtub is good enough.

The wage for miners and muckers
was respectively $3.50 and $500 a day.
The reply of the company representa-
tive was given on the ninth. that the
fifty CEN raise would be granted, but
that a twenty-five CEN raise would be
made in the board.
The petitioners would not accept the
terms and quit the same evening. With

THE TRAIL
OF POETIC MEMORY

The season of the transcontinental-
list. travelling by automobile from the
Atlantic to the Pacific or vice versa,
is in full swing. Nowadays, hundreds
of automobiles are able to make the
long journey in comparative ease and
comfort, though when the century had
broken, not a single individual had
accomplished what then looked like
IN impossible feat. The instrument,
it is true, was to his hand, but the
way had not been prepared for him
by the ~road-builder and his irrepres-
sible advance agent, the booster.
The latter is a peculiar outgrowth
of American conditions. Animated, be
it said, by a genuine sense of patriot
ism and also by a surplus of human
enthusiasm, lis self-imposed task Is
to boost or promote the construction
to the dignity of a state or national
highway, which he confidently believes
is destined to work wonders for his
part Of the country. Indeed, in his
purview, he often sees a whole chain
of roads extending from this humble
nucleus right across the continent,
bringing blessings to multitudes of
men as the greatest and widest and
longest and most beautiful scenic road
in the world"
And upon that day of days when the
experimenting road is thrown open
to the public, and the telegraph poles
are duly sign-posted or painted, the
hotels" ready to welcome their guests.
and the first automobile, flying pen
nants of all the states through which
it has passed, comes rolling into sight,
his cup of happiness is surely filled
to the brim.
Be it said at once that neither the
booster nor the motorist bodies any
good to the Western trail-that is, the
Western trail that has come down
from the prehistoric past, when its pri-
meval builders, the buffalo and the
Indian, roamed the continent unob-
structed by the white man. The
transcontinental roads are %grivously
invading it's solitude. Like the little
girl in THE Lamplighter' whom no
n seemed particularly to care for
until her good genius appeared upon
the scene, the typical Western trail
is obviously lacking in human sympa-
thies. 1t hugs for preference the wide
and deserted expanses of the plains.
1t keeps the questionable company of
the unfriendly coyote and the bur-
rowing badger and prairie dog.
A thing of hard-beaten sod or
adobe, here it threads it's way through
sagebrush or CROSSWORD, there
through the close-cropped grasses of
the ancient buffalo grazing grounds,
and then again through the cactus
deserts or over the sinuous lava beds
to the jagged peaks floating in the
blue haze of the horizon. AS the
trail dips into gully or arroyo, where
the torrents have dug away the banks
like some giant shovels, or crosses
and ~recrosses the tracks of it's arch
est Of enemies, the locomotive, it
seems to be desperately endeavoring
to seek oblivion. But with the pro-
verbal nine lives of the cat, it is sure
to bob up again, until at last it has
