GIRL ON LONG RIDE
Wyoming Miss Travels Alone
on Unexampled Journey. .
PORTLAND ON HER ROUTE
Conditions of Wager Kequlro Her to
Karn All l-'unda Xeed,l, but This
Is On of Tasks Kaslest for
Hrr to Overcome.
F.AKJ2R. Or Dec. 14.-Spoe.lal.-lllss
Alberta Claire, who Vs crossing the
continent on a wager, starting from her
home at Buffalo, Wyoming. April S
last, arrived here last Saturday, riding
her cow pony and accompanied by her
large shepherd dog. having covered
miles. She Is en route to New
York by way of Fortland. San Francisco
and New Orleans.
If Miss Claire makes the trip suc
cessfully, she is to receive one of the
largest ranches In Wyoming and 11000
cash. One of the conditions Is that she
shall have no funds for expenses except
such as she earns en route. She atarted
with only $2 cash.
Miss Claire tells of many hardships
In the wilds, but she has become
tanned, hardy and continues her unex.
an. pled Journey with xest and confi
dence. It goes without saying Miss Claire la
fearless, but she Is armed with a six
shooter for protection against bears and
any other dangerous creatures likely to
bo met In lonely places. Her best
record for ono duy's travel was ta
miles.
MHis Claire likes to talk of her re
markable experiences. To The Orc
gonlan correspondent she said:
"All niy life I have loved the moun
tains, tho forests and the wild and
beautiful things of nature.
'When I was 10 years old I read
everything I could find out about
mountains, and when my grandmother,
whom I was visiting In England, asked
why. to her great amusement I
answered: 'Some day I'm going up In
the Itocky Mountains." She said she
hoped I'd enjoy the walk. At 15 I
visited Cripple Creek. Colo., and mailed
my grandruolher a postal, saying: 'I'm
up In the Rockies, and I didn't walk.
"Riding horseback has always been
my favorite occupation from fox hunt
ing In England to riding the range in
this greatest of all countries. I left
Buffalo. Wyoming. Inst Spring, going
through the 'Hole In the Wall." the
great cattle country of old Wyoming
days, where many horse and cattle
'rustlers' found a hiding place.
"While crossing the Continental Di
vide I lost my way and had to stay
out in the mountains nil night. I
picketed the pony and built a campflre,
and with my big dog close beside me
and my gun In my band. I slept on my
saddle blankets. After riding awhile
the next morning I came to a hunter's
cabliu No one was there, but I found
Plenty to eat. so Micky, my dog. and I
had a good feed.
"Just then the door opened and a big
six-foot man walked In. Oanlng at me
In astonishment, he asked "Where the
h 1 did you come from 7 I said: I'm
not sure, but that wasn't the place."
He laughed and I told htm how I bad
lost the trail. He showed me the way
to a ranch.
-While riding through the Tetons I
came to a beautiful creek. Cascades. I
could not resist leaving the trail -and
wandering down the creek to enjoy Its
beauties. Suddenly Micky got very ex
cited and. looking around. I saw a big
brown bear across the creek. I thought
It time to go back to the trail. On the
borders of Idaho I came to a forest
fire and had to leave the trail, making
my way round behind the fire through
the thick brush and timber, fording a
creek snd riding many miles to get to
a safe place. My pony was afraid of
the fire for awhile and ran through
the brush, tearing my riding suit and
bruising me against the trees but I
talked to him till ha got over It. and
we found a way out.
-I started ea this trip with t: ana
my pony. The dog was given to me a
week or so later.
"During thks time I hav earned my
living. In towns I give a vaudeville
act. sometimes I get a hall and give an
entertainment alone. Out In the coun
try I often ride, in the roundup with
the cowboys.
"I have traveled In all kinds of
storms. Last week I rode 35 miles in
a heavy snow storm and looked like a
good decoration for a Christmas tree
when I arrived in town.
'Ltoly the fog has been very thick,
sometimes making the trail hard to,
follow.
"I have covered i308 miles, as far as
Baker, using the same pony all tho
way."'
EUGENESlJEDF0R$46,270
Tcstlmonj Heard li Litigation Over
r Cost of Power Ditch.
EUGENE, Or- Dec. 14. -(Special.)
Tha taking of testimony in the case of
Sam Manerud and Ed Qulnn against
tho City of Eugene was begun yester
day afternoon, the greater part of the
day having been spent In the selection
of a Jury. The plaintiffs are seeking
to recover the sum of S46.270. the bal
ance alleged, to be due on a contract
entered Into with the city on February
IS, 1909. for the construction of the
city's power ditch at Walterville.
According to the allegations of the
complaint, the city violated Its eon
tract by neglecting to provide all the
necessary right-of-way. and by failing
to furnish suitable plans. Plaintiffs
further claim that the city did not pro
vide a competent engineer to super
Intend the work, and that the city can
celed Its contract with the plaintiffs
without due cause.
The city alleges that the work was
done in a careless and indifferent man
ner, making the remaining work un
duly expensive-, and claims that the
amount due the city for forfeiture and

The taking of the testimony will

PUBLICITY TO BE RULE
IDAHO LiAXD BOARD WILTi HOLD
OPEN SESSION'S.
rlblic Will Judge Fairly, Says
Auditor Taylor, Unless Suspicion
Is Aroused by Secrecy.
BOISE. Idaho. Dec. 14. (Special.)
There will be no more star chamber
sessions of the state land board of
Idaho. This Is the announcement of
State Auditor Taylor, a member o'. the
board, who was re-elected. Taylor for
years conducted a paper at Sanduolnt.
'I am In favor of having the land
board meetings wide open to the pub
lic and the press." declares Mr. Taylor
In a statement just Issued. "I consider
this to the advantage of the members
of the board as well as the public. The
board is weighed down with tremen
dous responsibilities. The land business
of the state of Idaho amounts to more
than JIOO.000,000. Great discretionary
power Is vested in the men who handle
this vast business. The people have a
right to scrutinize . every official act
closely. .
The press and the people generally
give a public official a square deal
when he Is out In the open and does
1 the best he can. But when there la
secrecy and the people do not Know
they grow suspicious. False rumors
are circulated and an unpleasant state
of affairs develops. As a member "of
the land board I shall Insist on open
doors.
"There Is another impression that
prevails that Is erroneous," said the
State Auditor. "It Is often said that
the Carey Act land is about all segre
gated and that the board will not have
much to do. As a matter of fact the
work of the board Is growing. As the
time approaches for the completion of
the canals, preparations must be made
for turning the projects over to the
settlers, the ultimate end contemplated
by the Carey Act. It needs no elabora
tion to explain that when this turning
over takea place, the land board will
again be called upon to assume an
enormous task.
."'Idaho has 10,009 miles of irrigation
canals completed or well under con
struction. The state baa 42 Carey Act
projects, canals for which are com
pleted or well under way. Irrigating
2.500.000 acres. The cost of these pro
jects wll be $75,000,000, all outside
capital brought Into the state. Idaho

A bold, vigorous and masterful life of Luther the only kind of life to

The monk who defied the Pope and brought about the Reformation

This need of a modern biography has been met and well met by
the Life of Luther, which begins in The Century for December. Dr.
McGiffert, a distinguished scholar and an enthusiastic student of Luther's
time, is the right man to write it, and The Century, the medium for so
marry epoch-making biographies, is the right magazine to publish it.
This December number is tho Christmas number of The Century, and CbrkrtmaB is
celebrated in it with something more than tha usual Christmas good cheer, some stories
being essentially Christmas stories, and others being; just good stories. It is need
