III,,., . REVIEW .4 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1921. NUMBER 43 ST JOHNS I ! Had An Interesting Trip la an interview with J. S. Mc Kinney lifter his return trip fronvnn extended vacation of thirty days which he reports a wonderful trip he says: "1 left St. Johns in com pany with my family, consisting of . my wife and son Oscar, and David Pdto'u and family, 6cvcn 1n all; wc traveled out on the Columbia High way, thence to Arlington and Pen dleton: thence to Walla Walla and Spokane, Washington, a warm and dusty trip: from thence to Coeur d Alenc, Idaho, through what is known nrf the Fourth bf July Can yon, a beautiful drive, with scenery in abiitidaucci from thence we 'proceeded to Kellogg, where wc were fortunate enough to find some friends of the Potuu fatn lly; who took us in for a good test and fed us the best of the land. After this good rest and reed we spurred up the "old boats" and made Wallace, and on to other im portant cities, such as Missoula, Deer Lodge, Auaconda and Butte, Montana. At this place my old Du ick had 'commenced to jump on five legs. I stopped at a garage and asked them to inspect the spark plugs and remedy the cause, which wits promptly done. After a few minute's .labor the machine was pronounced cured and n hill pre wc tiled for $12.80. After n protest, he informed me that if I expected to take the car I had better pay the bill, which I promptly, did and got out of that city. Our next stops were at Bozcmon and Livingstone; thence Gardner, the entrance to Yellowstone Park. The beauties of this wonderful park Cannot be fully described by ctrlng mortality! Wc remained here five days, leaving our friends here. We went out at dif ferent entrances, the Putou family proceeding cast to Kansas; myself and family going to 'Salt Lake, where wc visited the great lake shores and the Mormon tab crnacle. Wc were permitted to pass through the building in company with n guide. Prom here wewcut to Lou" Angeles and chose the routu by way of Zion National Park. The principal cities on this route were Provo, Nephl, Fillmore, Beaver and St. George, all in Utah: Litttcficld, Arjzona; thence Ouukerville and Los Vegas, Nevada; Golfs, Victor villc and Los Angeles. Seven hun dred and eighty miles of this toutc from Salt Lake (o Los Angeles is a desert. While crossing this arid waste the temperature stood around 122. Some warm I At and around Los, Angeles wc remained six days and took in many points of interest. We also visited the City of Tijauna, Mexico, and the Catallna Islands, a beautiful spot, I must say 1 It was here that wc rode in glass bottomed boats after night, from which we could sec everything in the bottom of the old ocean, This result was accomplished by powerful lights. We saw fish of all colors, shapes and sizes; ocean porcupines; shells' so bcautifnl, and the sea weeds were wonderful to gaze upon I It was au expensive place to eat and sleep. Wc traveled along the coast the entire, length of California and i .t touuu many inicrcsuug pomis. vve spent the greater part of one day in the museum and at the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. This proved to be very interesting, but the most beautiful of all things to me was the great red wood timber wc passed through in the northern part of California. This is only a short distance from St. Johns and I am sure anyone would be well paid to take a spin over there add see what a wonderful sight it Is."
