OLD OREGON TRAIL FADING BEFORE NATURE IN WYOMING Nature with her n^arks of time, | says a Xemmercr, Wyo., dispatch, j is erasing from southwestern WvomI ing the old Oregon trail?that road, which meant the building of a western empire, with its many tales of heroism against* redskfnned foes, the tragedy of lost lives of pioneers and the indomitable courage of the early settlers of the west. The old Oregon trail extdnded across southwestern. Wyoming for 100 miles from t'he Big Sandy river at Pacific Springs to Cokevilie on the Bear river on the Idaho boundary. But the old trail is passing. Now sagebrush covers the old road 1 which once rumbled with the wheels ! of the covered wagon. In many places , the barbed wire fences of the ranches I ! have broken across tlu- trail and in j the space left, unbroken only an oc| casional sheep rancher's wagon trav1 els. Memory of the trail is to be pre' served by a highway, to be known as | the "Old Oregon Trail," across Wyoming from Granger to Cokeville, and then to Portland, Ore., but; the new road does not. follow the original path of the "covered wagon" caravans.
