Adventure After Death

VICTOR TREVITT was a native
of New Hampshire, who at the
age of IA ran away from home and
became a printer in Chillicothe,
Ohio. By the time he was 20 he
had been in the army and had many
close calls in the Mexican war.
He emigrated to Oregon City,
Ore, in 1854, became territorial
printer, newspaper man and clerk
in the house of representatives. Next
he took to exploring up the Column
bia river, after which he returned
to Dalles City and opened a tavern
that catered to prospectors. AS the
town grew, he opened two more tav-
ems. Soon he was one of its lead
ing citizens and was sent to the
state capital to serve as senator.
When he returned to Dalles City,
he found that the free spending era
was over and his taverns were no
longer profitable. This led him to
gambling at which he made a con-
siderable fortune. He died on JAM
uary %, 1883, but this was only the
start of another adventure.
He had made arrangements to be
buried on Memaloose island, the
burying ground for one of the neigh
boring Indian tribes. Burial in the
same ground with white man was
considered "bad medicine" by the.
Indians. The day after Trevitt
was buried there, all who had rela-
tives in the Memaloose graveyard
dug them up and buried them on the
mainland. Today, amid the scat
tered bones of Indians who have nc
descendants to remove them, the
body of Victor Trevitt, adventurer,
still rests.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
By
Elmo Scott Watson
Father of the Santa
Fe Trail

IN 1921 Capt. William Becknen set
out from Franklin, Mo-, with four
companions to trade with the Co
manche Indians. Near the noun
tains they met a party of Mexicans
who told them of Mexico's success
full revolt against Spain and invited
them to come to Santa Fee to trade.
Although Becknell had only a small
amount of merchandise, he disposed
ct it at a great profit. So when he
returned to Missouri, he had no diff
Guilty in getting Franklin citizens to
invest more than $4,000 in another
trading venture.
Accompanied by a party of 80
men, Becknell set out for Santa Fe
the next spring. When the cara
van reached the Caches on the
Upper Arkansas, he made momen-
tous decision. Instead of continu-
ing up the Arkansas into what is
now Colorado, then going south by
way of Taos, he decided to attempt
a short cut. It would take him
through an UNEMPLOYED country but
it would avoid the long and circui-
tous mountain route of his first trip.
Counting on finding springs or
streams along the route, the party
took only two days supply of wa
ter. At the end of that time they
were in desert country, suffering
the tortures of thirst. In their ex-
tremity they first killed their dogs
to drink their blood, then cut off
their mules ears for the same pur-
pose.
Near the Cimarron river they dis
covered an old buffalo bull. They
killed him and drank the water from
his stomach. By this time Beckneu
had enough of the "short cut"
He led his party north until they
struck the Arkansas and, following
that stream, arrived at last at Taos.
Despite their failure, the route
which Becknell had tried later be-
came favorite one for many trad
ing parties and he is remembered
as the ''father" of the Santa Fe
trail,

Hail Those Depressed,
Yet Optimistic Souls!

no YOU ever think as you pass
- folks that they are thinking
much as you are. They have much
the same hopes and fears, the
same joys and sorrows, the same
defeats and victories-and also
about the same problems to worry
about. There is the perpetual
struggle to make a living, to get
food, clothing and shelter for our
selves and for our own.
Some seem to have more Of
shadow than sunshine, but most Of
these meet life with a smile in
stead of a whine. We owe more
than we think to such optimistic
souls-and they would also enjoy
a smile from US instead of a
whine.-Ohio Farmer.

The First Land Agent

a FTER the Revolution, New
= York, disregarding the right of
the Iroquois Indians to the land
south of Lake Ontario, ceded 6,000,-
600 acres to Massachusetts, who
promptly disposed of these lands
to Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Cor
ham, for a million dollars.
In 1876 Phelps left Massachusetts
with party to explore the vast ter
ritory which he had acquired. After
a l30-mile trip through what was
then wilderness, he reached the
shores of Canandaigua lake where
he called the Iroquois to council.
For two days the negotiations pro-
ceeded smoothly. Then the great
Seneca orator, Red Jacket, arose.
He recalled the sufferings of his
people during the Revolution, and
stirred his auditors up to such
fury that the little group of white
men began to fear for their lives.
Fortunately for them, another
chief named Farmers Brother halt
ed the council until their passions
died down and the next day salts
factory treaty was concluded. Then
Phelps began surveying his land
into tracts, called ranges, and SUBJ
dividing these into townships, six
miles square. Thus he became the
pioneer in the system of land sur
veying used in this country.
In 1879 he achieved another dis
tinction. He opened a land office
in Canandaigua, said to have been
the first in this country for the sale
of forest lands to settlers, and thus
helped settle western New York.

At the Crossroads

THE ''dirty work at the cross
l. roads" of fable and story has
a counterpart in the pattern of
modern automobile accidents.
The National Safety council re-
ports that in 1887 about SO per
cent of all injury accidents in cit
les occurred at intersections.
In rural areas, however, only
about "a per cent of the injury
accidents occur at intersections.
The council said 50 per cent OF
the intersection accidents that in
volved two motor vehicles were
right-angle collisions.

TIPS to
Fertilizer Usage

GARDENS can't go on produc.
- ing excellent flowers and
vegetables year after year without
an application of fertilizer now
and then. Because stable manure
is difficult to obtain, a complete
commercial fertilizer recommend
ed by your dealer will prove most
satisfactory. Before applying fer
tilizer, however, give considera-
ton to a few simple, practical
hints.
First, be cautious! Never apply
fertilizer recklessly or over-abun-
dainty. Don't be like the man
who saw a neighbor get good re-
suits from a sparing use of ferti-
lizer. He proceeded to apply 10
times as much, but expecting 10
times as good results-but his gar
den proved worthless.

Poison Should BE Labelled

Every bottle containing poison
should be so labeled that it cannot
be mistaken at any time. Stick
pin through the cork so it can be
identified in the dark.
