MEACHAM TELLS OF
OLD OREGON TRAIL

Walter E. Meacham, president Of the
| Old Oregon Trail Association last week
addressing members of local civic and
/ commercial organizations at luncheon
at the Hotel Oregon. declared that the
recognition that the great historic
transcontinental route will attract will
direct an untold publicity to Oregon.
'.It links the past with the present,
he said. ssand draws the attention of
the nation because of the romance con-
nected with it, The two greatest trails
of history were the Santa Fe and Ore
| gon trails. The former was trade
route, attracting venturesome spirits
ured by barter. The Oregon trail VISA
| used by homeseekers and empire build
ers. and every mile of it is significant
| for some historic event. Romance and
tragedy were occurring daily for the
| 80 years that the covered wagons,
drawn by OK trains, were streaming
westward over the way laid out by
early, intrepid h0meseekers
Mr.. Meacham, who stated that the
| insignia of the covered wagon and OK
cart would be utilized in marking the
old trail all the way from the Missouri
river to the Pacific Coast, declared that
campaign, now set IN motion, will
not cease until the national govern
ment and the estate of Oregon have
given the old trail official recognition |
by legislation. Ezra Meeker, aged So,
who in 1906 drove over the old route, |
marking it with monuments, is now in
Washington interesting congress. The |
Columbia River Highway and the
Mount Hood Loop Highway, the iden.
tity of both preserved. will be linked
in with the old trail. Mr.. Meacham |
gave some interesting historical data
concerning the Oregon Trail. He told
how it was first used in 1911 and 1872
by Wilson Price Hunt. 1t was not
until l843 when it became the really |
great route of the homeseekers. He
declared that it had saved Oregon to
the United States. Idaho, MIR. Meach-
am said, has already given the trail
official recognition and will have 1t
marked across the state.
"This great TRAIL" said Mr.. Meach-
am. "crosses populous country. high
ly developed. 1t penetrates fields of
cultivated crops. Then, too, it pierces
a country of the most wonderful scenic
charm to be found anywhere. 1t cross
es the SweetWater, the Snake, the
Platte, and the Columbia rivers. II
rises to inspiring eminences in the
Blue mountains and then it crosses the
Cascades, winding down one of the
worlds most famous river gorges. In
order to carry the story of the old trail
to the world we have renewed mem
bership campaign in our organization.
Members will be accepted at fees rang
ing from 81 per year up. The story of
the old trail will have one of the big
gest advertising appeals of anything
we can do. 1t is attracting national
attention.
'The increase in motor traffic over
the Old Oregon Trail is going to in
crease 100 per cent the coming sum-
mer. We are receiving requests from
nearly all states. Indiana, apparently,
is intensely interested in the old trail.
The Commercial Club will appoint
committee to wage a membership cam

PHOENIX CAMP NOTES

With the delivery the past week of
10 carloads of Materials. the Phoenix
Utility Co. is ready to begin construc-
tion of a three-mile pipe line along
Hood river from a dam. now under
construction, to a power house on
which crews are also engaged for the
Pacific Power & Light Co. The mag
nitude of the construction work may
be comprehended when 1t is known
that 120 carloads of material will be
needed for its completion. George F.
Mackenzie states that materials will
be required in the following amounts: /:
Reinforcing steel and steel pipe, 75
cars steel bands, for use on the wood
en- sections of pipe line, 40 cars rivets,
one carload.
Four cars will be required to handle
the steel needed for constructing
surge tank POT feet high to be located
near the power house. This tank will
rise 30 feet higher than the grade of
the new Mount Hood Loop Highway
which is not over 800 feet distant.

amusement. Geo. F. Mackenzie last

Well, men do not serve penal
sentrnces of forty years under
our existing penal system. There
is time off for good behavior,
but, more important than that, is
the fact that few prison officials
believe men should be confined
for more than ten or twelve
years. If these two men behave
themselves, and existing ideas
about prison administration are
unchanged, they may look for
ward to liberty much earlier
than their sentences indicate.
The really controlling fact in
these cases seems to have been
overlooked by the Herald. Are
these men ''habitual criminals?"

ment Molly was startled. Then she
stepped forward, and the Muskegon
vanished soundlessly among the under
brush.
AS the girl. stood there she thought
she heard the cry once more. At once
she was running down to the edge of
the swamp and, standing her ground
with difficulty in the fierce gale, she
peered out, sheltering her eyes with
her hand.
Then, \dimly out Of the whirling
snow, she saw figure stumbling to-
ward her, bearing on its shoulder
something that looked like a railroad
sleeper
Sometimes it vanished from her
sight in the circular whirl Of sleet,
at others reappeared, stumbling into
the drifts, but ever nearing her. 1t
was within twenty-five feet of her
when it slipped, and there followed
feet The figure broke through the
slushy layer into the muskeg below.
Thus Wilton Carruthers came to the
portage for the fourth time. And on
this occasion he was saved by the dead
man, for whose lifeless body he had
risked his own life. For as he fell,
still clutching at what he bore, the
stiffened form slid out over the un-
broken surface and held him head and
throat above the bog.
In moment Molly was running to-
ward Wilton. Once his head went I'M
der, and she cried out in despair but
he reappeared, and seemed to cling
automatically to his support, for his
eyes were closed and he was uncOn-
sciOus. His face was frozen white;
it was only the contraction of the
frozen sinewS of his fingers that gave
him his hold on JOe's body.
1t was then that, in her horror,
Molly recognized Wilton. She crept
toward the break, and lay down on the
ice, cropping toward him with her
hands, She shouted to him to hold fast
and, finding that he was already un-
conscious, crept cautiously nearer over
the cracking surface.
Then she saw what it was that Will
ton had been carrying, and she recOg-
nized Joe. Stunned mOmentarily by
the shock, she nerved herself to the
task of rescuing the living. She still
crept forward until the upper part of
her body extended across the break.
She placed her hands beneath WiItOn's
shoulders and tried to lift him.
1t was a task beyond her powers.
AS she strained to it, suddenly the ice
broke all about her, and in a moment
she was flOundering beside Wilton in
the water.
At this place the Underbed of the
portage was of peat mixed with sand,
covered with water rather than slime.
MOlly's feet touched bottom. The wa
ter was only shOulder-deep. With
quick resource she managed to draw
her feet up from the swamp and TO
drag Wilton forward a pace or two,
thus freeing him from the clutch Of
the muskeg. And now she felt firm
sand under her. She continued to
drag him toward the shore and, as
they moved, Joe's body, still clutched

ceasing her efforts, in spite of her
clothes about her. And at last the
white skin began to be suffused with
an angry red.
Then she washed away the clotted
blood from the arm and nerved her
self to the task that must be per-
formed. At the Moose Lake mission
ske had nursed an Indian with a frac-
tured leg, set by the superintendent,
and this experience was all she had to
go by. But the break was a simple
one. She brought the edges Of the
bone together, made splints from
pieces Of packing case and wound the
whole tightly with cloth smeared with
bears fat. Then she heated some
broth and poured it, drop by drop,
down WiltOns throat.
When she could do no more she took
her clothes out of the room and changed
in another, kept for travellers, separat-
ed by thin partition of pine planks.
She had just finished when she
heard her father shuffling down the
stairs. 1t was the first slime he had
left his bed. The girl ran to the door
in fear.
His eyes were suffused with red and
his face twisted with passion. 1t was
evident that he had seen the rescue
from his window above and had known
what Molly was doing.
He dragged himself past her with
out a word and looked in at Wilton,
lying unconscious on the bed.
81 saw We bring him in, Molly" he
mumbled thickly. "Ye can't fool me
with tricks like that It's trick that

ingr' she cried. 'He has been shot.
And Joe BostOck is dead. He's lying

breast. There has been a dreadful ac-
cident-"
He grasped her fiercely by the wrist
"JOe BOstOck dead!" he shouted.
"WhO killed him?"

Will Carruthers' neither. Mark me,
lass! Yen put him out in the snaw
to keep Joe BOstOck company, or ye're
no daughter of mine."
You're mad!" flashed Molly indig-
nantly. With a swift impulse she ran
to the door and opened 1t. A gust of
wind blew whirl of snow into the
store. To MOlly's excited brain 1t
seemed to assume the mOmentary
form Of a fantasmal figure as it
wreathed itself about the factor He
uttered cry and staggered back,
clutching at the edge of the counter.
"Will you let a dead man lie there,

stretching out her hand toward Joe's
frozen body. do you think viii Car
ruthers shall be flung out there to
freeze to death beside him? Why, 1t
would be murder-and on your head"
Perhaps it was the remembrance of
the past that checked the factor In his
fury and brought back sanity to his
mind. For moment he stared at
Joe's dead face, then raised his eyes
to MOlly'S. And then, mumbling and
clutching at the counter edge, he
turned and began to drag himself up

the girl succeeded in getting Wilton to
