August Zlndler I a good Herman

been In thla country for eeveral year
and like It: and having a alater In
the Fatherland ' he decided to bring
her out that ahe, too, might enjoy the
bleaalnga that he to enjoying. With
that Idea In view he aent over for thla
alater and ahe, along with a ecore of
other with whom ahe waa acquainted,
made tho Journey to America, arriving
at Portland on Sunday.
Miaa ' Kinaier ' and her eompantona
could bone of them talk Engllah and
In an effort to have them arrive aafe
and aound eaoh waa given a ticket to
abow to ahlpmatea and railroad men
In an effort to have them directed
aright Each had a ticket and before
they arrived at their destinations- If
not In that frame of mind when they
started each waa very auaplcloua aa
to what aorae unprincipled American
might do to them. One can Imagine
the frame of mind tn which each waa
found when they arrived In the Roae
City Sunday.
The matron at the Union depot.
Portland, waa looked upon with bub
ptclon aa the glrla did not know the
capacity In which ahe waa operating,
and not one but waa afraid of her and
would not permit her to aee the tag
of Identification. Finally one did ahow
her tag and It directed frlenda to aend
the young woman to an addreaa ln
Dallaa. Thla girl waa ahown to her
train and the trainmen Instructed
minutely aa to how to proceed.
Dut It waa aome time before Mlaa
Zlndler got up courage to ahow her
tag and when ahe did ao It read to
Qladatone. Whore waa Gladstone; no
railway map ehowed It, and the mat
ron did not think of the Portland In-
terurbans. Finally aome one ln ' the
depot awoke to where Gladstone waa
and another girl waa located, not
even at that the matron would not
trust' Mlsa Zlndler' to come alone for
fear there might be aome trick and
ahe camo all the way to Qladatone
and found that Augtiat Zlndler waa
really the young woman'a brother.
There waa rejoicing in the Zlndler
home when the slater arrived aafely
and It Id, not likely to be lona? until
that young lady will be able to talk
enough English to be anatiiea to travel
without being tagged, and It won't be
neceaaary to tell her whom to trust, ,

jected. . Monday the new road machinery ar
rived and waa aet to work at Oak

that will atand up under the heavily
loaded wagona often trundled to mar

costa doean't make them wish to re
