Scenery Is Glorious. ' Tha tort?e of tha scenery of Bwltxer hand and tha Rhine have been written (of and suns; by tha world's greatest poets, fut tha maamlflcent scenery of Vancou ver Isiand let to a very great extent a matter of surtnl.

Mlntater of Agriculture of te Mr Bride government. A stout-hearted party of travelers accompanied him. among them being his daughter. Myra 3llavn. the only woman In tha party. They were out several weeks, and ex plored the lake and surrounding coun try very thoroughly, taking a larga nam. ter of photographs, climbing and naming anountaln peaks, christening waterfalls tend unnamed streams and at times rest ing In the midst of cloud-capped sur roundings. Thla (rreit National Reserve promises o become one of the most famous In the "world- The variety and splendor of the scenery In and aronnd Butllcat Lake can acarrely be described In words. It la a r tide mesa aa yet almost untrodden by ha feet of whits men. A few Indian aiad perhaps a proapector or two. have seen It before, and one party of white enen gained a view of the lake from dis tant peaks; but tta exploration. In a thor ough and systematic manner, had never freen consummated until thla visit of Mr. J'JIlson and has party. The reserve contains some of the finest timber In British Columbia and Is a jrreat natural ceune preserve aa well. The trout fishing la superb, and with obstructions rrm0ed in tbe Campbell River tbe lake wlU be a natural irjMWn-Inx-bed for salmon. Thla gTeat reserve will become part and parcel of the Van couver Island system of good roads as soon aa the plans contemplated by the JTovlncial Government under Mr. Mc Ilrlde can be carried out. Good noads" Tlor Is Practical. Thomas Taylor. Minister of Public 'orke In the McBrtde government, is already known by the name of "Uood Rada Taylor." and a mora enthusiastic avnd at the same time practical man could scarcely be found. Mr. Taylor baa ,j rojcted. amors other schemes, a trunk aysitcm of roads which will connect British Columbia with Winnipeg, which It 1 hoped) will be fully complete try tbe time the Selkirk Centennial at W!n itlpes arrive, lie boa been Indefatigable It extending roada and trails through Vancouver I aland and la Joining with all t on-es which tend to develop a thorough system of roedtraking throughout the f-rovlnce and elsewhere. All of these ystem or roada throughout the Island are Intended to serve a double purpose encouraging the coming of sutlers to ' take up lar.de along the road and enabling settlers already established to reach the inarkets by meana of other roads con creted with trunk roada. Ml( IHvldemla Certain. Tw Is contendeJ that ae agriculture will eventually be the bavtc foundation of jrosperlty for the Island, every dollar- srent In good roada Is bound to 4 returned a thousandfold, since trans portation, eaay and certain, is a prima necewttv for the farmer. The greatest possible Interest Is taken In Vancouver Island and Victoria In the good roada Bvenent throughout the I'nlted States, anil there Is every tendency to encourage the exchange of views and plans aa to general roadmuking. and north and south trunk line- along the Coast extending front the Suites on Into Canada. It is pointed out that a substantial and per manent highway connecting the two countries would be of the greatest poa e ble benefit to both countries and that every dM:rlct would benefit from a trunk rotl puVrg through It. Vancouver Isiand and Victoria have already put themselves On record, both bv a liberal expenditure of time and money as to the good roads movement generally. Tbere has been no diepoeltlon on their part to fall behind In the move ment, and they have absolute faith In The sincerity and vigor with which the movement la being pushed on the Ameri can side. Strong argument have been presented to the effect that the building of trunk made on the Isiand, which will attract traveler from tbe I'nlted States to see rle beauties of the laud, will also Kfford Investors an opportunity of ex amining the wonderful natural re sourees of the Uland, which la In Itself tbe richest portion of Canada In natural resource The Puttie take project. It la expect ed!, will be oien to travelers even before tha Selkirk Exposition opens, and It Is hoped the completion of the Pacific hlghwav. even before that time, will give etgaiaeere from all port torts of the Coant an opportunity to visit thla splendid nat Mai park.

SWIMMING Is great exercise, fine sport, and sometimes la an ex traordinarily useful accomplish ment It should, by all means, be made a part of our compulsory school educa tion. Many girls and women for whom the ordinary land sports are too stren uous and energetic can find the hap piest sort of medium In the gentle and soothing art of swimming. I'nder competent Instructors the veriest novice can easily learn to navi gate alone, after five .or six lessons, and the pleasure of gilding In and through the clear, cold water, com bined with the exhilaration and sense of power It gives one, will many times compensate tor tha feeling of nervous ness and fear that one feels when first learning to swim. Swimming Advantage Great. The female portion of Portland's population possesses a great advantage over many other cities In the excellent facilities for swimming offered by the numerous bath houses and many sand shoals along the banks of the W il lamette, all of which are crowded dur ing the warm days of Summer by ex perta and begtnnera of both aexos. In tha Winter the swimming is confined to the favored few who are fortunate enough to have a membership In the Multnomah Club or the Young Women's Christian Association or have the price of a swim at one or the other of the few public baths. The city should have a number of good municipal baths scattered over the city In places where they will ac commodate the public, and they should be arranged foruse during both Sum mer and Winter. Competent and ex pert attendanta ahould be employed nnd Instructions given; nnd It will not be lonn: until the a:inunl toll of deaths from drowning In the Willamette River will be reduced greatly. Mrs. Harry Kaderly won the women's 100-yard swimming race last Sunday, tho first of the kind ever attempted at this season of the year In the North west. Mrs. Kaddcrly Is one of the most enthusiastic members of the Women'a Annex of the Multnomah Am ateur Athletic Club. Mrs. Katlderly Champion. By her victory last Sunday Mrs. Kad derly Is declared tbe woman champion swimmer of the Northwest at 100 yards. Next year ahe Intends to defend her title. Among aquatic eventt planned Is a Northwestern swimming compe tition for women In the Willamette River some time in July. The Mult nomah Club will be represented by a large delegation of swimmers. Kn tries will be sought from all athletic, or ganisations of the Northwest having women members and It is ulanned to make the meet one of the largest ever- attempted on the Pacific Coast. Seat tle. Spokane. Tacoma, Bellingham, Ab erdeen and Vancbuver, B. C. are known to have several first-class women swim mers who will be asked to take part In tha event. Mrs. Walter Holman, Mrs. Prank E. Watktns and Miss Kranees Jeffery, like Mrs. Kadderly. advocate public baths, and tbe Women'a Annex of the Mult nomah Club may wage' a campaign to obtain an appropriation for municipal baths In PorHond. TWO TEAMS II TIE Case and Chesterfield Bowl ers Are Even. MONROES WIN ONE SERIES llowlcrs Generally Show Good Form and Individual Averages Are Good, According to Latest Compilation Made. Wen.

The Caae. team had a very easy time in their match with the Paragons, as the Paragons were not able at any time to make It Interesting for their op ponents. Tbe Caae team kr rolling a good game, but the Paragons have not been able to hit the pin In the ripht manner with the exception of a few games, when they rolled a clever game. Although the Chesterfields rolled three games that should win any match the Monroes went after them in pro fessional style and took two of the three games. Captain Raymond, of the Monroes, has a fine lineup now, and will do better from now on. I-arry Keating, one of Portland's oldtlme bowlers, will be in the next match, and It Is expected that he will strengthen the team considerably. The Jarretta took two games from the Neustadtera, and therefore evened matters with this team, as In their last match the latter won two games. The Neutadters are a well-organized team and they roll a good game all the time, but the Jarretts have been under going a reorganlxatlon. and this Is the first game they have rolled Ilka they should. There have been several changes In th individual averages In the last week. Hee-1. who has been leading so far thla season, dropped to fourth place. Ueorge Henry has been gradually pull ing bis average np nntfl be now Is In first place, although his average Is only 1ST. Arena and Swlnney are close behind him with 1S6, so -he will have to keep hitting the pins if he wishes to hold the honor. As a whole, the bowlers are showing good form, and as soon aa they get used to the new alley there will probably be some fancy scores rolled. In rolling for the Christmas prizes. Qeorge Rog ers rolled it for high game so far. He secured 10 strikes straight In the latter part of this game and two In the first of tha next, which If they had been all In one game would have won for him the gold medal that la being offered for the first 300 score rolled on the alleys. .

It Is a two-men affair, and it Is ex pected that there will be about 40 entries, as more than half that number have entered already. Another event that Is looked forward to Is tha out come of a challenge that has been made by Ous Ahrens and Qeorge Henry, that they will bowl any two-men team in the city.

FAST INFIELD PROSPECT Class A Nine Will Have Hard Hit ting; Outfield and Good Pitch ers Vean Gregg- Xot Yet Signed With Cleveland. Despite the fact that he had. the names of no new players to give out during the past week, Walter McCre die, manager of the Portland Paclfio Coast League team, and director-general of the destinies of the Northwest ern club, was In a highly pleasant frame of mind all week. The tall manager is not the least bit worried about "the prospects for next season, and is confident of placing two successful teams in the field. He has never been very enthusiastic over the two-team idea, but this season he an ticipates greater success with the con tinuous baseball idea for the reason that he has the greatest -of confidence In the ability of Nick Williams to han dle the Class B club. Williams will have a free rein In the Northwestern League, for McCredle positively asserts that he will secure all the players pos sible for that club before the season starts, and if changes are made after wards they will be done In accordance with the recommendations of the Northwestern) team's manager. Ball to Play Second. So far Neal Ball Is the only player actually turned over to Portland by Cleveland, and he will be used at sec ond base on the Pacific Coast League team. Bill Rapps will once more deco rate first base, while Tommy Shcehan will' be found at third. Just who the shortstop will be Is not yet known definitely, though It Is generally be lieved that either Harry Nlles or Roger I'ecklnpaugh will secure the berth to be vacated by Ivan Olson's promotion to the major league. Either Nlles or Pecklnpaugh will prove acceptable, for both are good players. Pecklnpaugh Is a youngster of great promise, while Nilns has had considerable experience In the big brush. In case McCredle Is not successful In securing either of these players, lie has Rodgers. the Connecticut League re cruit, who Is generally believed to be an outlielder, but one who la said to be one of the speediest and most ac curate young Inflelders In the business. Rodgers, according to advices received by McCredle. is quite capable of play ing either shortstop or third base, and McCredle will probably use him In the former position In the event that he cannot acquire either Nlles or Peokln paugh. TJtillty Men Fast. , Wlfh Buddy Ryan. Artie Krueger and Irving Oough as outer gardeners, Rod gers or Oough would likely have been used In the utility role anyway, so Mc Credle considers himself pretty well fortified as far as both Infield and out field are concerned. With Bill Steen, Tom Seaton and Frank Archer In line as pitchers, and two heavers to be given him by Cleve land, together with Fred Lamllne, Big Mack thinks he will have a fine nucleus for a pitching staff. Several other pitchers are In line, while "Red" Wright, the big hard hitting right hander, who refused to report last year, will also be on hand in the Spring. Wright Is the big fellow who was with Oakland In 1906-7, and who pitched for Cleveland In 1908-9. He was bought from Cleveland by Port land in the Fall of 1909, but decided to lay off from baseball for one year, ow ing to 111 health. Wright was a star pitcher while with the Oaks in the last two years he played with that team and he performed nicely In the major league, but ill health handicapped him considerably, and he only worked in a few games for Cleveland. Archer, the left-hander, is rated aa a coming star, and If he lives up to ex pectations he will fill the niche va cated by Venn Gregg quite acceptably. Archer Is said to be a most eccentric player, and somewhat difficult to han dle, but. after dealing with Larry Mc Lean and Virgil Garvin for two years, Walter McCredle ought to be able to bring him Into line quite easily. Ballplayers Shoot Bear. ' Buddy Ryan and Vean Gregg, who had been on a hunting trip to Southern Oregon for two weeks, returned to Portland last Wednesday, and both ex pressed much pleasure at their success. Both of the balltossers succeeded in killing a bear, and also had good luck hooting ducks and geese. The players were entertained quite royally at Medford and oher southern Oregon points, and said that they would visit that portion of the state at tha end of the next baseball season. Gregg will remain in Portland for a few days previous to the Christmas hol idays, while Buddy Ryan leaves tomor row for his home In Denver, for he never misses a Christmas at the old fireside. Buddy will again be with Portland next season, and says that he will report at the Spring training grounds In first-class shape next March. Gregg has been returned to the Cleveland club by Manager McCredle, and ought to make good In the big league. However, the tall left-hander has cot yet signed a Cleveland contract, and says that he will not do so until that club agrees to pay him a big league salary, for he says that the con tract sent him does not rail for much more than he received from Portland during the past season, and he thinks he la entitled to more money If he en ters the ranks of the major leagues. Gregg is quite Independent, for he haa a ranch at Clarkston. Wash., and is In terested In several farming projects in Idaho. He says he does not Care wheUiar nA plays baseball any more or noc SALVATION SANTA BEATEN Eccentric Woman, Warring on "Myth," Attacks Army Worker. SPOKANE. Dec. 17.

Harrlman took great pride and for which he gathered perhaps the finest herd of Imported Holsteins in this country, la to be closed. Tho cattle will be disposed of at auction. To replace the cows, Mrs. Charles Rumsey, Karri man's daughter, lias purchased a large number of Kansas sheep and will under take sheep raising on a large scale In the effort to make the estate pay a larger dividend than heretofore.

' HONEST MATERIAL, EFFICIENCY, .ECONOMY. v PERFECT SCORE IN EVERY CONTEST. There are" now 16S Rapid. Tracks in everyday service in the city of Detroit and every owner is a booster. Common sense reasoning forces this fact on the mind of the discerning business man : If a company has been producing cars in large numbers for a long term of years, and these cars are observed m serv ice day after day, in all kinds of weather and under the worst kind of abuse, not only have the manu facturers eliminated by trial and error the difficulties. new manufacturers encounter owing to lack ot experience, but by the continued growth of their business they prove that their cars must be worth, in trinsically, what they ask for them.
