OOPNG the loop in an aeroplane or doing' a 90-horsepower elopement in the latest model automobile may have its thrills and all that, but stage drivin' in the 70s and 80s, when Oregon and Idaho history was in the cocoon. doesn't lose any in thrills by compari son, calculates Leon Cohen, Gordon Hotel, Portland. Cohen is a ruddy, rustic representative of the good old days of early transportation when a Jehu's life was less safe from destruo- f tlon than was that of a rough rider scaling the ramparts , of Santiago. "Lots of moderns don t savey taut of the stage days," ejaculated Cohen the other day. "The stories of stage drivin' have got these up-to-date thrill ers beat a Montana mile; take it from me. There's romance In this ora stuff and I'm here to tell ye the men as can tell about it are passing ' out pretty fast," wherewith Mr. Cohen pulled from his pocket a crumpled and yellow clip ping of a story as he related it back in the early 90s then several decades after the romantic present of the stage coach had become the picturesque past of an Important traffic in the develop ment of the West." Times' Changes IV o ted. His story apparently Impressed the newspaperman who first wrote it and called to black and white the following picture for a setting: "With the close of the production of the materials for this history, how ever, came the thunder of Iron wheels and the reverberant screech of the whistles; the Indian, the buffalo, the desperado fled; the overland coach be came., a memory, the cowboy changed his buckskin for domestic shoddy and Mormonism received its death blow. Later a gigantic pacific system stretched out its arms to the north and south and absorbed the alkali bottoms, the sagebrVah plains of Idaho, the pine forests of Oregon, even the lava beds of Northern California: pioneers of 4 and the miners of '63 became a curios ity. And the men who subdued the wil derness from the back of an untamed mustang were styled mossbacks by the tourist immigrants and relegated to the background. ' . Drivers Become "Old-Ttmers." "Several decades have passed 'since the Oregon Short Line pushed its way along the great valley of the Snake and laid Idaho tributary to Its sover eignty, yet in so short a time the stage drivers became old-timers, and as one looked on the crowds that had taken the places of those who greeted him as a. tenderfoot, he would, repeat mentally the motto of the new West, 'Keep up with the bandwagon or fall In the rear.' "Typical with the new Brobdignag gian of this new order of things. 80 rotting skeletons cumber a ramshackle row of sheds in the suburbs of Boise. Sun. wind, rain and snow find their way down and through the neglected roof upon their bodies and as year after year goes by they answer to age and yellowness and fall away Into dust and oblivion. Yet they deserve a . better fate. On their weather-beaten forms are the marks of rifle bullets: within their protecting sides carrrte the best blood of the East to find new homes and to extend the empire of the great re public.

Owyhee Joe's History Told. It was about these relics of rich reminiscences that the reporter desired to make Inquiries, and especially of the pathetic story of Owyhee Joe, about whom the driver of these coaches knew much. Leon Cohen, now a resident of Portland, was the man to reward the quest as to the sturdy Jehu who was a famous driver on the mountain grade over which those old wheels rumbled with ominous echo many . years ago, Wild stories are told of his daring trip up from Winnemucca to Boise with th coach well loaded with gold dust, pros pectors and Government mail. Like Yuba Bill, his achievements live in th memory and on the tongue of the oldes inhabitants and grow in luster as tn years pass. Fight With Bannocks Recited. Leon Cohen began with the thrilling history of an Indian fight he had been in near Kuna. when unaided 'he had driven ore ten uannocKs and savea tn gold bricks in the box of Wells Fargo & Co.'s Express.

This is the first tf a series of four plays' to be presented by the club this year. Miss Josephine Hammond is directing the cast and managing the play. In "Pigeon" Galsworthy treats on the proper way of dealing with the poor. The principal character, Christopher Wellwyn, is a generous-hearted artist who cannot resist the temptation to giveto every needy person he meets, and many come to his door. He does not think that he has solved the problem but likes the people who apply to him for assistance, calling them Jolly. His daughter and friends tell him of his folly. Two friends. Pro fessor Calway and Sir Thomas Hoxton, who owned the line out of Salt Lake I City, Frank Pollinger, Hank Woodruff, ' and Charles Brown, all old jehus of widely known character and courage. made a bee line across the country to head him off, changed hosses three times, struck his trail, found where his hoss had broke down and he had stolen another. 'That stolen hoss In that country meant a necktie party. "In 24 hours we d overtaken him. Horse played out. Game up. Nothing but sand and sagebrush for miles, 'cept one lone tree, kinda placed there Drobablv bv Providence." Leon said as his glance turncH toward the fleecy clouds as they were floating silently toward the peak of Mount Hood. There that young fellow sat. one leg" over the horn of his saddle. He was a fine looking young man, six feet tall and as cool as if he had made many a meal on six-shooters and bowle knives. I knew him the minute I set eyes on him. He knew me but never twigged. Jack Gilmore, as brave a soul as ever handled a whip, opened the meeting without prayer. Formalities Are Barred. " 'Good morning, stranger,' " he said. " "Good morning.' " 'Seen anything of a man about your size astraddle or a sorrel, looking a heap like the one you rider " 'No I haven t. " 'That's a pretty good mare of yourn. Yes. she was worth a cool J500 but she's a little winded now. Say Mister, I'll give $500 clear for that one of yourn and stop the deal.' "He was making a good bluff. Mr. Editor. Hoss stealin' In those days was death on the spot. He knew we were on to him. His offer would pay well for the broken-down hoss and he was banking that his money would pull bjm through, but you see he didn't know Gilmore. Jack had been captain of the vigilantes back in '63 up in the basin and he had had a name to tkeep white.' He lust smiled at the man's Innocence. " That's a straight blind of yourn pard,' he said, 'and it stands up to come in, but we're thar and hold you over. You look a little mite played out as well as the mare. If you'll Jest get down and Jine our party and stretch your legs; and mebbe you need stretchen all over." "He gotsa little .whiter under the gills, but slid down without a word We followed suit and Woodruff threw over his head a noose and. passing the other end over the limb of that lone old tree, nodded that things were ready. "That young fellow was game to the last. Never moved a muscle. Seemed kinder like a damned shame. Gilmore went up to him and said: " 'Now, pard, is everything all right? Does it fit your neck according to Hoyle?' Letter Pulled Oat. " 'All right.' " 'Have you anything to say why this er er little picnic shouldn t proceed? " 'Nothin'.' " 'Have yer got any word to leave to your friends?

Anne, Wellwyn's daughter, would leave the poor, to take care of themselves. All the scenes take place in Well wyn's studio. In the first act, Christ mas eve, Mrs. Meegan, a poor flower girl; Per rand, a destitute Frenchman, and Timson. a tipsy old cabby, come to Wellwyn's door and present his cards, which he had given them, as was his habit when he assisted persons. Well wyn takes them in. In the second act Wellwyn tries to find a solution for their problems.

"Gilmore had already passed the coil of rope to Hank Woodruff and he had drawn it taut. He took the letter and as we hung around kinda curious-like he opened it and read aloud: " "Etowah, Georgia. Jan. 18, 1874. Mv dear son James. For long weary months I have waited for news from you since your last letter to your old mother. God bless you James and answer my prayers that this letter may reach you. Thanking you for your thoughtful care of me in my old age. But once more to look in your dear face and feel that my baby boy was near me would cheer my old heart more than to possess all the gold in Idaho. When are you coming home? You promised me that in the Spring you would come back to me. May the good God watch over and prosper and return my dear boy to my old arms before I die. From your loving mother.' " Lynchers Are Touched. Leon paused and looked vacantly up to the ceiling. His eyes followed the drunken gyrations of the yellow wasp. "That letter did the business," he said finally, as a big tear trickled down his sun-browned cheek. ."Gilmore had a good' education back in Michigan and he commenced In a strong, clear voice, but before the closing words were out it was all we could do to hear his voice. "Yes, sir, and my eyes got weaker than a sick heifer. Fact! The rope slackened until it fell from the hands of Woodruff and the breath of the morning vcame rushing through the leaves of that damned old tree and long shafts of sunlight kinder pros pected down through the opening boughs some way. My throat caved in like and I went to thinking of long sunny days on the banks of the Mis sourl with my old dog, and of a little sister with eyes Just like this leilow's, and of my old 'mammy and of how she taught me to pray. Couldn't help it. Mr. Editor. Borrowing a horse and robbing a stage didn't seem a big enough thing to string that boy up for and break his old mother's heart. Guess Gilmore was thinking the same way, for he kinda reverent-like folded up that soiled bit of paper and handed it to its owner and without a word slipped the noose from his neck and then, in a tone as gentle as a mother, asked: " 'War you goln' home, stranger? " 'Yes. " 'Goodbye.' "The boy didn't dare trust his voice in thanks. I know how he felt. But he drew from his wallet a small bag of twenties and offered it to Jack." " 'Hossr .

SCHOOL SITE BEFORE CLUB Hawthorne Parent-Teacher Body to Consider Question Wednesday. The Hawthorne Parent-Teacher As sociation will hold a special rryeeting Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock In the assembly hall of that school to consider further the question of the site for a new schoolhouse in the Hawthorne district. Representatives from the association and the East Side Business Men's Club investigated possible sites during the week and among what is considered the most available and central is a block on East Seventeenth and East Taylor streets, most drowned, having attempted sui cide. She wants to die but it not al lowed to do so. The unfortunates come back to Wellwyn, and It is plain that there is . no solution to the problem. They all say that It is the life they would live.

The Parent-Teacher Association ana East Side Business Men's Club point out that the present Hawthorne School building and site must be abandoned to the Washington High School, as the latter school already uses part of the Hawthorne School, and must have more room. The Board of Education has favored erecting a schoolhouse at East Thirty-ninth and East Harrison street and plans have been drawn for this structure, but people sending children to the Hawthorne building oppose this plan. The Board of Education has agreed to give them a hearing before the annual meeting, and the meeting next Wednesday is to form a state ment to the Board and recommend a new site for the Hawthorne building. PARK CHANGES ADVOCATED Ladd Addition Improvement Club . Also Wants Street Signs. The Ladd Addition Improvement Club Friday night decided to ask the City Commissioners to abandon the present plan for Central Park in Ladd Addi tion and make it more practical and of use to the public. Rev. C. C. Poling said that the park Is of no practical use to the community except fororna mental purposes. He suggested - that the shrubbery be removed and a foun tain be placed in the center and the publio be permitted to use it. The club voted to ask the City Commis sioners to place posts in the addition so street signs may be put up. Mr. Poling was made chairman of a com mittee of rive men and women to handle the park changes and erection of street signs. C. D. Frasler, chairman, announced that the specifications used in improve ment of streets in Ladd's Addition had not yet been received and no further action had been taken in the street sit uation. The club received and accepted an invitation to attend a meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association at the Hawthorne School Wednesday to as sist in procuring a site for a new schoolhouse In the Hawthorne district. At the close of the business session a musical programme was provided. FORESTRY TIMBER ON MART Sealed Bids on Snoqualnile' Reserve Tracts Due Till December 9.
