Coasf-piooeer to Cross Plains
In Wagon
Ezra Meeker, the pioneer and the
discoverer that the ox yoke has been
an empire builder, proposes to drive
from Tacoma to Kainsville, Iowa, a
pair of oson and a pair of cow3, bound
together by yokes that crossed the
plains three score years ago, hitched to
a wagon made from the remnants of
two wagons which were dragged from
the Missouri to the coast n 1852 ar.d
1353, respectively.
Wrltiog of his venture, Mr. Meciter
says in part :
"The following outline of my plans
will give the reader some idea of the
objects of the proposed expedition.
"To identify and perpetuate the
memory of the old Oregon emigrant
trail traveled by me and so many oth
ers in 1852 and other years, I propose,
during the year 1906, to travel over the
whole route from The Dalles, Or., to
Kainsville, la., with an ox and cow
team, in the style of early days.
"I will plant posts at intersections
with present traveled roads, junctions
or other prominent points, as witnesses
to the achievements of the pioneers
and to save from oblivion the locatioo
of the old land-marks.
"I will represent pioneer life while
en route and labor to arouse interest by
lectures, stereopticon illustrations and
otherwise try to create a sentiment fa
voring slate or national government
action to complete the work thus begun.
"If the preponderating sentiment
favors national aid, I intend to drive
through Washington, D, C., and deliv
er into the hands of the proper author
ities, petitions favoring such action."
