Over the Old
Oregon Trail.
From the Columbus, 0-. .Dispatch-
Kz'i Meekeer, a white haired
old pioneer of the golden West,
in his wagon drawn by a yoke of
oxen, "crawled' into Columbus
about five o'clock Sunday even-
ing over the ol I Oregon trail and
immediately p-ti I Hi* respects to
May.>r Badger, who gave him the
freedom of the city. "Farmer"
Meeker, as he calls himself, left
Tacoma, Wash., fanuarv 29, 1906,
an<i has traveled 2,800 miles at
the r.ite of fifteen or twenty miles
a day.
H< follows the old Oregan trail,
but declares that it is not what it
was when he traversed it in his
younger days. The trail branch-
es off into asphalt streets, lined
with mansions; in turn it he-
comes a country road and then
again a main thoroughfare, and
"Farmer'' Meeker says jthat he
has some difficulty ill following it
with his team of oxeu, l ut up to
date he has not gone astray.
"I am making the trip because
1 think the old road should be
memorialized. I am going to
Washington with my team and
will try to get the proper author-
ities to agitate a movement to
have the trail relaid as a concrete
road, reaching from the Missis-
sippi 'o the l'acific, coast." said
the aged traveler. 'T went to
the state of Washington from In-
dianapolis in 1852. I followed
the Oregon trail in an ok cart
like this one. On the way back
1 have met a few friends whom I
had known before 1, went VVest,
but not many. I am 76"years of
age."
1 Cosmopolitan Shows.
Guthrie, in common 'with eVe'ry
other city, has been the victim of
over-advertised, fake'and fraudu-
lent shows; therefore whe<i some-
thing really meritorious in the
way of a theatrical performance,
circus or street show appears in
our midst, we are r^g.-jled with an
unexpected treat. . Thif has oc-
curred this week in •• the various
attractions and entertainments
furnished by the Cosmopolitan
Shows, and we cannot refrain fr6m
congratulating the lo.cal Eagles
for standing sponsor fwr the gen-
tlemanly proprietors of 'the Cos
mopolitan aggregation of street
attractions. Tbesp ishpws hjve
met our entire expectations,-.and
from past experibtfdf\ nitich «Sore.
