Fancy that you had never 'been West, that all your Ufa you had pictured the wild Western girls and cowboys. Then come to earth and fancy that, like Miss Ethel Lloyd Patterson, you really did arrive here and that you were an hon-est-tc goodness writer and had come with an idea to uen for the Eastern papers the terrors of the Indian wars In the West. It sounds funny, but that's quite the general Impression in the East, in spite of modern inventions, and Miss Pat terson didn't exactly expect to find the West a wilderness, but it isn't what f he thought it would be like, anyway. Miss Pattersoni syndicate and spe cial feature writer for H. H. McClure's, whose name has topped thousands of striking magazine and newspaper stories since she began to write, 10 years ago, arrived in Portland last I week with Miss Martha Coman, of the New York Herald. Mias Coman is a former Portland girl, so she doesn't feel quite the same novelty about the West as Miss Patterson. Even in spite of the fact that the West isn't so wild as she had imagined. Miss Patterson is quite in love with it. and every day the things that she hears and sees go into copy and back to the Eastern syndicate. Before coming to Portland Misses Coman and Patterson passed 10 days at Glacier National Park. Both are in veterate horsewomen. and so the greater part of their visit to the park was spent riding. Western Girls More Demure. Tou know," said Miss Patterson, "I have always heard of the dashing Western girls, and It certainly sur prised me to note that at the park the girls from New York and the East were the only ones who wore knicker bockers to ride in. The Western girls still wore the cumbersome old divided skirt, and they certainly are not pleas ing to look at in that garb." "Like the West?" Well I should say so: neither of us like the city. We visited friends on a farm near Spokane, and I never had so much fun in my life. There was something doing all the time, far more than in New York. I love my work, but on the country!" Miss Patterson is the sort of a girl that scenario and story writers picture as the girl reporter. She has those same big brown eyes that sparkle and don't miss a thing. She's an idealist, though. She loves the pines of the West, the great mountains and the beautiful, ever-changing landscape. It's even more human to her than the teem ing life of New York. Ever since she was in Europe last, she's been longing to see the tops of the Western Ameri can mountains. She climbed the Alps and other great mountains of Europe and now she's eager to conquer those or her own country. Travel Articled Vnder Way. While here she is preparing material for a number of magazine articles on the order of "See America First," and when she returns to New York, will begin work on her fresh Western ma' terial. Not that they really wanted to have a bit. Just because it was so funny to be in a prohibition state, they enjoyed a prank in Washington. They went to the liquor station and took the oath that they have "never been arrested tor cirunKenness. never been "pro prietors of a saloon," nor in any way had ever been guilty o the other things that disqualify the liquor buyer. Photographs of them were taken dur ing the escapade. The visitors are at the home of Miss Ooman's mother, Mrs. B. E. Coman, and have also been guests at the home of Miss Coman s sister, Mrs. C. W. Jones They will return to New York via the Canadian Rockies in a fortnight, and as Miss Patterson says, will carry back some wonderful recollections of the West. JACKSDN6.0.P.GIRDSUP KEFIBJLICAIVS DECIDE TO MAKE SCHOOI.HOl'SFi SPEECHES. Old-Fasluoned Campaign Planned for This Fall Speaker of National Reputation Sought. MEDFORD, Or., Sept 10. (Special.) At a meeting of the Republican coun ty central committee yesterday it was decided to hold an old-fashioned school house speaking campaign in Jackson County this Fall. A corps of local speaKers nave voiumeerea tor me work. The local Republican candidates at tended the meeting, and details of the county campaign were formulated. It is planned to secure at least one Re publican speaker of National reputa tion, either Senator Borah or Governor Johnson, of California, preferred. Vacancies in the county committee were filled by the following appoint ments: Judge O. H. Gilmore. Rogue River Precinct; W. W. Truax. Gold Hill Precinct: C. S. Bartlett, Pinehurst Pre cinct, and C. C- Purcell, Sterling Pre cinct. The election in Jackson County prom ises to be very close, as in spite of the large Republican registration the Dem ocrats usually carry the election in a President ia 1 year. According to the reports of the committeemen, however, Mr. Hughes is gaining in strength every day, and it is believed he will be given a majority in November. Three hundred miles over a new course at the scorching speed of 97.06 miles an hour here is a test of tire stamina leaving no element of quality or construction untried! Yet Goodyear Cords stood up tinder this grinding, wear ing, punishing pace stood up under it to a victorious finish. They carried Aitken and his Peugeot straight to first honors. Aitken's Labor Day victory at Cincinnati, supported by the series of remarkable racing records achieved with the aid of Goodyear Cords in the past few months, offers addi tional proof of the superior stoutness, speediness and endur ance of these tires.

Life on elephant Island In the Anarctlc as it was ex perienced hy the marooned men of Lieutenant Sir Ernest Shackleton's South Polar expedition, who were re cently rescued and taken to Chile, is described in a message received from ' Punta Arenas- and published in the Daily Chronicle today. "The day begran." says the descrip tion, "with breakfast, which consisted merely of penguin, fried in blubber, and a drink of water. The morning's duties consisted in clearing away snowdrifts and catching penguin. Lunch was served at 1 o'clock, con sisting1 of a biscuit with raw blubber. The afternoon was occupied with reg ular exercise over a track 100 yards in length. "At 5 o'clock, when darkness fell, came dinner, consisting of penguin breast and beef tea. Lacking tobacco, the men smoked grass from the pad ding in their boots, while the pipes were carved from birds' bones and wood. The members of the party took turns in reading aloud from the only books, namely, the Bible, encyclopedia. Browning, Bacon's essays and Carlyle's French revolution. Saturday evening was always marked by a concert, the feature of which was banjo playing. A banjo was the only mueical Instrument available. "On one occasion there was a wel come addition to the diet, when sev eral undigested fish were found in the stomach of a seal and greatly enjoyed. These were th only fish obtained dur ing our stay. In August there was change in the diet when limpets were gathered and seaweed was available as a vegetable. "We were in the midet of one of these limpet and seaweed lunches when the rescue boat .was sighted. "When was the war over?" was th first question asked. The same stoutness, speediness and endurance are advantages experienced by Goodyear Cord users in every day motoring. They are the qualities that led to the adoption of Goodyear Cord Tires as standard equipment on the Franklin, the Packard Twin-Six, the Locomobile, the Peerless, the White, the Haynes Twelve, the Stutz and the MacFarland. They are the qualities that make these tires higher-priced and better. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
