This designation would in effect be a declaration by the United States government that' the Oregon Trail has a national Importance beyond that of the Santa Fe Trail, the Mormon Trail, the Overland Trail or any other historic trail, to say nothing of modern roads like the Lincoln Highway. * And the controversy has developed all sorts of complications. States want to know what authority. congress has to change the designation of roads already named by them. City is fighting city for place on the Oregon Trail both from sentiment and from desire for financial advantage. There are many disputes as to historical facts; the source books of western history seem to contradict one another in many cases and the oldest of the old-timers are by the ears. And, of course, Trail is fighting Trail, with nil the others more or less combined against the Oregon Trail. Congress seems to have been a .bit Indifferent as to historical accuracy, so long as a "federal-aid highway" was selected. Naturally, this does not give universal satisfaction. Utah, for example, does not want to have its Mormon Trail wiped out. The Overland Trail has its champions among descendants of the Forty-niners. the contributors of many mllliorfe to the building and maintenance of the Lincoln Highway as a memorial to Abraham Lincoln streuuously object to the loss of hundreds of miles of improved and marked roadway The Santa Fe Trail, oldest of them all, has a place in the controversy because it is the Parent Trail from Kansas City to Gardner, Kan. Incidentally, it' comes to public attention on its own account through the fact that Council Grove, Kan is to celebrate its centennial August 10. A hundred annual rings have swelled the girth of the sturdy Council Oak, patriarch of Council Grove, since the council under Its shade secured peaceful passage from the Pawnees and the Osages---tau not the Comanches--for the pale face eager te trade with the Spaniards at Santa Fe. The senate passed a bill (S. 2053) designating the Oregon Trail, after several cities in Idaho, Oregon and Washington had been added by amendments in committee. It was Introduced by Senator McXary, has no preamble and must havfiu been carelessly drawn, since "Laramie" is designated Instead of "Fort Laramie." evidently with the idea that they are the same place. In the house Representative Addison T. Smith of Idaho introduced a bill (H. R. 6494). Later he Introduced joint resolution 232 and still later joint resolution 328, which contains additional cities. The full text of joint resolution 328 follows: 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 country at that 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 sovereignty of England and the United States, and whose fate for all time was settled by the migration of 1S4> when approximately one thousand 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 hla. tprlc spots In this 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 two thousand miles Americai. citizens dally faced death without the panoply of war. the beating of drums, or the flying of flags, and saved a vast empire to tha United States; and Whereas 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 perpetuated 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 recognire valorous 33h»re» fore be It *- ?*: "y 2 ryVPJ^ArtD &KPS&2AT Yzaurrtj ^ • &A&rj,Akg Resolved by the Senate and House of Repre* sentativea of the United States of America In Con* gress assembled.

The hearings by the house committee on roads on these senate and house documents were lively affairs. No less than fourteen representatives made arguments pro and con--and the end Is not yet. The mandatory language of the act and the Joint resolution raised the question: Is congress trying to remake history? The attitude of the pros was shown to be substantially this : They do not wish to belittle the historical importance of any other Trail, but they claim an imperishable name for the Oregon Trail because it and Its pioneers gave the nation Oregon, Washington, Idaho and parts of Wyoming and Montana. Therefore they think that the Oregon Trail in relation ~ to our national growth stands separate and apart' from all other Trails and that It has peculiar sentimental and historical significance entitling It to special recognition by congress. Suppose the Oregon Trail as designated is historically incorrect in places, as was shown by the cons. What of it? ask the pros. Represents* ' tlve Elmer O. Leatherwood of Utah showed that the Mormon Trail in Nebraska was on the north side of the North Platte and the Oregon Trull on the south side of that river. Yet the designation proposed would put the Oregon Trail on the north side and wipe out a long stretch of the Mormon Trail. Mr. Leatherwood is not a Mormon-- his great grandfather Leatherwood traveled the Wilderness Road hard on Daniel Boone's footsteps; he himself was born in Ohio and was educated at the University of Wisconsin and went to Salt Lake City in 1901 to practice law. All Utah, you 6ee, has a sentimental Interest In the Morman Trail and Its pioneers who made a state out of a desert. Incidentally Mr. Leatherwood Introduced a map prepared by the historian's office of the Mormon Church and In connection with It • portion of the "Historical Reconl, Vol. LX" (1890)--a document not readily accessible to historians. This contained, among other things, a diary setting forth in detail the movements day by day of the Mormon Expedition of 1847 under Brigham Young which founded Salt Lake City. More power to the controversy. Long may it rage, to the increase of interest among the people In the fascinating history of the West and the establishment of its history on incontrovertible fact. For it opens up the whole history of the tnc s- Mlsslssippl territory, which Is closely linked t»y chain of cause and effect.

' The beginning of the winning of the West' Is Clark's conquest of the Northwest Territory in the Revolution. For that gave the Colonies the Mississippi as their western boundary. That In turn brought about the Louisiana Purchase. In the spring of 1804 from the American side of the Mississippi Lewis and Clark watched the red and yellow of Spain come down in St. Louis; the tricolor of France go up and come down and the red, white and blue of America go up to stay. Instantly they were off for the Pacific to see what we had bought. Two years later they returned as If from the dead. Thereupon began the forty years of the American Fur Trade which explored the West and made Inevitable the march of the American people across the continent And from where Old Glory went' up to stay the American pioneers went forth by various Trails for various purposes. The Santa Fe Trail was for trade with the Spaniard. The Oregon Trail was worn by a migration of homeseekers. The Mormon Trail ended 4n an asylum from persecution-- because of religion, from one viewpoint; from another, because of "alien and Inimical Solidarity." Consider the consequences of the Santa Fe Trail. It led to the acquisition of Texas, the Mexican War and the occupation of California. The discovery of gold started the rush of the Fortyniners over the Overland Trail, with Salt Lake City as the half-way place. It made California a Stale over night. Followed the Overland Coach, the Pony Express and the driving of the Golden Spike when the railroads met^at Ogden. Today the American peopfe are awheel on autojpoblle highways where once ran these Wilderness Trails. Every historic spot should be marked. Nation, state and city should vie in setting up memorials to the trappers, traders, prospectors, explorers and pioneers who gave us this priceless heritage.

On this farm, which has nearly a level plateau of about two acres In extent where several families of the Sokokis Indians once lived, a peculiar Indltn burial mound, 75 feet long. 80 feet wide and about 25 feet high, was discovered soon after the Revolution. This mound, which ts located upon a beautiful intervale, is filled with the skeletons of thousands of Indians entombed in a sitting posture and circling arpund a common center facing outward. These form concentric circles. which were added, one after another, until the outer was formed* when another tier was begun above them. This mound Is estimnted to contain no less than 8,000 or 10.000 skeletons, which would seem to testify of a numerous or a long-established race 4 that locality. 1 Coots for Jewish Feasts Every year In the United States thousands of goats^speclally raised on the farms In the South, are bought up and sold for shipment to large Jewish centers all over the country.
