Ohio JfenaMsi2£ Oils & Greases Joint Resolution in Congress to Designate Historic Highway OAD history was made recently when at a meeting of representatives of highway associations of four central western and western states held in Denver the Columbia Highway-Old Oregon trail, a transcontinental highway, came Into existence. Plans com- - pleted call for a continuous surfaced road between Washington, D. C„ and Seaside, Wash., and Portland, Ore. The new system will unite the Old Oregon trail, made historic by "Covered Wagon" tales, the Denver-Llncoln- Omaha highway and the White Way highway. ; It will pass through Denver, Fort Collins, Cheyenne and Granger, Wyo.; through Pocatello, Idaho; Olympla, Wash., and Baker, Pendleton and Portland, Ore. Present at the meeting were delegates from Colorado, Nebraska, Oregon, Illinois and Iowa. The expressed sentiment of these delegates was that through the medium of the transcontinental highway, millions of tourists will be diverted from present scattered trails and highways so that they will pass through the cities and towns designated as points on the new system. From Chicago, the proposed route will go through Iowa to Kansas City, Mo., to Topeka, Kans., and Omaha, Neb., to Denver. Although, It was pointed out, many tourists and travelers will doubtless see fit to branch off In Denver to the numerous scenic points of interest in Colorado, many will continue on to the Pacific coast, traveling south of Yellowstone park. At present, according to delegates, there are but two main transcontinental arteries of automotive traffic: The Lincoln highway and the old Spanish trail to the south. Congestion on these systems was given as the principal reason for the decision to unite smaller highway systems Into the new highway. . The symbol for the new main artery will be the ox team and the covered wagon, made famous by Emerson Hough's novel, "The Covered Wagon," and the more recent picturlzatlon of the story of the journey of early pioneers across the dangerfraught frontier, through the prairie wastes, and over the mountain ranges of the old West. • • • • • • • Hon. Addison T. Smith of Idaho recently introduced in the national house of representatives, the following joint resolution to provide for designating the route Of the Old Oregon trail: Whereas the Old Oregon trail, which originated at Missouri river points and traversed half a continent, and was the route over which the "great migration" of covered wagons and ox teams went in 1843 and saved the Oregon country to the United States, and over which for many years the homeseekers and empire builders went in great numbers and made a great producing territory out of what was formerly a wilderness; and Whereas the Oregon coujitry at thut time consisted of all that territory between the summit of the Rocky mountains and the shores of the Pacific ocean and between the California and Canadian borders, and was held under a joint Sovereignly of England and the United States, and; whose fate for all time was settled by the migration of 1843. when approximately 1.000 American men and women faced the perils of the desert and the wilderness to carve out new homes In the Oregon country and make It American territory; and Whereas thousands perished by the way and were burled In shallow graves by the old trail; and Whereas the United States has set aside as national monuments many battlefields and other historic spots in iliis country ; „and Whereas the Old Oregon trail was more than a battlefield and offered a greater challenge to courage, for along its dusty course of 2,000 miles American citizens dally faced death without the panoply of war. the heating of drums, or the flying of flags, and saved a vast empire to the United States: and W'liereas this service has long been neglected and the youth of our land have not learned of the heroic self-sacrifice of those intrepid pioneers, who did so much for America; and Whereas In order that this the "world's most historic highway" may be |>erpetuated in history and its traditions be kept alive for all time, and In order to show to the world that the American people are not unmindful of the sacrifices of our citizens and do recognize valorous deeds: Therefore be It Resolved, etc..

A similar measure has already passed the senate, e e The history dt the Old Oregon trail Is a story of the great big out of doors, a tale of the hHls, a story of human endeavor, suffering, privation, determination, and final accomplishment. It Is a story as big and broad as life itself, a story of a people with' a vision, who feared not and who laughed at death. King Solomon said "A nation without a vision is lost." iThe pioneers journeyed in the first wagnn train over the trail in 1843, and from then on through the succeeding years, had a vision of a happy home In the "Oregon country," and they endured all of the hardships of the trail In order that this Vfiiou might become a reality. The history of the world does not offer s paral^ i let of 60 many people traveling such a distance for a common purpose as the migration of 1832-' 63 to the "Oregon country." Ever since the dawn cf history mankind has been restless and has sought for new lands to dis- ! cover and for new worlds to conquer, and ever the movement has been to the West. The last great migration, the greatest of them all, occurred in the latter part of the Nineteenth century, when all of that courltry west of the Missouri was subjugated and the last frontier disappeared before the rush of the home se^er und empire builder. Going back a few centuries Into history, Sir Francis Drake discovered the Oregon coast in 1571* and called it "New Albion." Juan Perez, a Spanish navigator, landed on the Oregon coast in 1775, and In 1778 Capt. James Cook secured a small bule of furs from the Indians on the northwest coast and took It to China and received a fabulous price for it, and which created an Interest in the fur-trading possibilities of the Northwest which resulted later In explorations and eventually In the building up of the ••Oregon country." Explorers of the various countries sailed the waters of the Pacific In search of the fabled straits of Aniun and the "Oregon," the •fjreat river of the West." . Tile honor of discovering the "Great river of the West" belongs to an American captain who h|id the vision and courage to sail his ship across the treacherous waters of the bar where the great 'S Tfee&er srtaL iheTtbcicl <>f the Uockies stirred up great interest in the hitherto almost unknown region. Meriwether Lewis, a native of Virginia, while serving as secretary to President Jefferson, was recommended by the President to congress to command the exploring expedition to the Pacific. He set out accompanied by his associate, Capt. •William Clark and a compnfiy of nine young men from Kentucky. Their friendships and success in their efforts is a most interesting feature of the history of the great northwestern country. Perhaps no scout or frontiersmnn gained more notoriety than the famous Christopher (Kit) Carson, who figured In a conspicuous manner with the Oregon trail. Carson was a native of Kentucky. He moved with his parents at the age of ten to Missouri, becoming a hunter, trapper and professional guide. He acted as guide to Fremont in his exploration of the Rocky mountains In 1842-4, and conducted parties overland to California during the rush of 1849-50 to the newly discovered gold fields. The celebrated pilgrimage from Fort Hall to Walla Walla and the Willamette valley, made In 1843. the migration which took 1.000 men, women and children to the "Oregon country," clinched forever the right of the United States to it by actual occupation of bona fide settlers. In 1847 the Mormons traversed a f>ortlon of the trail on their pilgrimage to the great Salt Lake. In 1849 came the great rush for gold fields In California, and .the gold seekers left the old trail at the Raft river In Idaho and the Malheur In Oregon and hended south. In 1852-53 there came the greatest migration of homeseekers and home builders that the world has ever seen. The first Christian missionaries to Oregon were Jason and Daniel Lee. Methodist, who arrived In 1S34; Rev. Samuel Parker, Congregatlonalist. In 1835' Dr. Marcus Whitman and wife. Rev. H. H. SpauUling and wife and W. H. Gray, Presbyterians. in 1830; Rev. David Leslie and wife, Methodists, In 1S37; Rev. Elkanah Walker and wife, and Cushlng Eells and wife, Congregatlonalists, In 183S; Rev. Francis Norbert Blanket and Rev. Modeste Demers, Catholics. In 1S3S, and Peter John De Smet. Catholic, in 1840. One cause of the missionary movement to the "Oregon country" was one largely sentimental and appealing powerfully to the Imagination and call of self-sacriflce. which was one of the greatest elements In the life of a missionary, was the occurrence which happened in 1831. when four'Flathead Indians sent a commission of four Indians to St. Louis la search of "The white man's book of heaven." The Indians found General Clark, who blazed the way across the continent with Lewis and told him their story. General Clark explained rs best he could to the Indians the history of man. the birth of Christ, precepts of the Bible, the death and resurrection of J^pus. «' • •• ' • And so It came to pass that'In 1908 Another man with a vision appeared upon the scene. E/.r* Meeker, then seventy-six years of age, who journeyed across in 1852 as a young man with his bride, outfitted tiimself with an ox team and prairie schooner and set out from his home la. Puyallup. Wash., to go back over the trail he had traversed as a boy. And as he went he marked the way clear through to the Missouri river with substantial stone monuments. He proceeded on and dr6ie his oxen down Fifth avenue In New York city and to Washington. D. C., where he was met with outstretched hand by President Roosevelt, who welcomed him to Washington and congratulated him on the vision which prompted him to make a trip across a continent In a slow moving prairie schooner to try and awaken in the. minds of the people a love and veneration for the deeds of those who faced and conquered the desert and the wilderness, made history for America, and saved to the United States a vast territory. Sleeker duplicated his trip in 1910, and today at the age of ninety-three, he Is still working for national recognition of tli^T Old Oregon trail and endeavoring to have the story of the old trail preserved to posterity. In the accompanying illustration Mr. Meeker is shown wifh President P. L'Campbell of the University of Oregon, examining Avard.

One of the witnesses for the state, a harness maker, who had no knowledge of taxidermy, sewed together a cowhide and the skin of a cow's head, which had been previously* offered1 as evidence against the accused, and stuffed them to resemble a c^w.
