Thirty years ago I rode on the lieadwood stage coach drawn by six mettled steeds. Some historian will perhaps take issue with me regarding the latter statement in the matter of dates. This is the manner of Its happening and these are some thoughts of. my present day ride. My jiaternal grandparent being a 4ier, had rather an extensive ac quaintance among the old Indian fighters and earliest pioneers, cliief among them was Colonel William K. Cody, popularly known as "Buffalo Hill." When the colonels wild west show would visit New York, we boys would invariably receive passes. On one never-to-De-Iorgotten day we were passengers atop of the old, original Ueadwood coach in its peril ous journey about the arena of Mad ison Square Garden. But back to the auto-stage. We stopped at the bt. Helen s note modern comiortable, well-appointea hostelry of Chehalis. A few steps dis-i tant was the civic center with city i hall and public library. To resort to the vernacular, it can be properly termed, an "eye full," and a pleasing one at that. The view Included a group of attractive residences on the heights beyond. And here inspiration fails, for how Is one. In a limited space, to do full justice to such a subject as the county seat of lewis county. So many advantages is so small a compass. A metropolis in min iature. C'hrhalla' Hlatory 'Reviewed. The "father of Chehalis" Is William "West, a pioneer of 1864. In his gifted memoirs, replete with sparkling anec dotes and incidents of wit and humor, he entertains his many friends with mutual pleasure. Born In the county of York, Kngland, October , 1838, he emigrated in his 17th year, with his parents and their 13 children, to Que bec, Canada. Through various hopes and vicissitudes, the adventurous, colonizing spirit, inborn in the Eng lishman and typified by the "West expedition," brought him to his ulti mate estate. When William West and his com panions of the journey across the plains reached the south pass of the itockies in a hostile Sioux country some headed south for California and the remainder followed what history has since denominated the Oregon trail. From the Portneuf river they crossed to what is known as Koss fork of the Snake river, made their way to Kort Boise, crossed the Blue mountains to John Day river, made a detour around The Ualles through the Tygh valley, skirted the base of Mount Hood and finally reached the Willamette about six miles above l'ortiand; at the site of the present suburo of Milwaukie. From Portland to Moiuicello, on the Cowlitx river, tlie parly proceeded by steamDoat; and thence to the present site of Che halis in the "schooner" that had borne them so many miles. Portland 40)H in 18U4. In 1864, Portland boasted a popula tion of 4U00. There was no Chehalis to boast of anything. The old town of Clauuato was scarcely -ore thai, a truding post and is nardiy tnat to day. There were perhaps 400 persons in the present bounds of Lewis coun ty, scattered from "Dan to Bershee lia," but more thickly, or if you pre fer, rather less sparsely, gathered in the fertile valley of the Chehalis river. Washington was not to become a state for 25 years. The geographi cal bounds of the then Lewis county embraced half of the state, and prac tically all of British Columbia in the days when "J-'uty-tour-J-'orty was electric. The future "father of Chehalis" was not a plutocrat. He worked like any one else and worked hard. -Klrst he landed a job splitting rails, then hired out as a plowman, receiving 75 cents a day tin potatoes) urrtil his employer, smitten with fit of conservatism, reduced the per diem to 62 cents aiso in potatoes. Amusinir Incidents Recalled, In his memoirs, Mr. West, who ranks high as a raconteur, tells many amusing incidents. One of Horace Howe, a sturdy pioneer, who took an active interest In public affairs. Mr. West was at that time county clerk and auditor and Mr. Howe county commissioner. One morning they were standing on the porch of the courthouse. Mr. Fay, also a county commissioner turned to Mr. Howe, saying, ''How old are you, Mr. Howe?" Mr. Howe replied, "Seventy-five." Mr. Fay remarked, "Well. I wish that I may be as good a man as you are when I get to be your age.'" The reply came from Mr. Howe sharply W g--d- I . :) ; iS' r I'll TTrfe: 1 -V and quickly: "Well, Mf you are you will have to Improve wonderfully." Another was of D. Motter, also a greatly respected pioneer, who took part in public affairs, but not always successful in his political ventures, as he belonged to the minority party. On one occasion he was nominated for county representative In the ter ritorial legislature and lost the elec tion. Coming to Chehalis a week or so after the election, some members of the successful party undertook to "heckle" him on his defeat, and asked him how he liked to be beaten. It makes me feel very much as Lazarus did when he was lying at the rich man's gate," he said. "Well, how was that?" was the inquiry. "Oh," he retorted, "licked by the dogs," and of course that ended 'the conversation. Chehalis Fruition of Hopes. Ah, who cannot, that thinks and feels, follow through these early days of the building of the west, the hopes, fears, struggles and triumphs of a sturdy breed. How really in teresting history can be made, if one is but gifted with understanding and expression. And the fruition of Will iam West's efforts, aided by many loyal associates and successors, is the Chehalis of today. . Chehalis is located about 200 feet above sea level, in southwestern Wash ington, in the beautiful and fertile valleys of the Chehalis and Newau kum rivers. Its climate is exceeding ly mild, both in winter and summer, due to the Japanese currents. Aver age high temperature, 77 degrees; average low temperature, 29 de grees. Average mean teguperature, 61 degrees. The annual precipitation Is less than 43 inches, which is about the same as that of many middle west ern states and some of the eastern. The rainy weather is confined prin cipally to the winter season, though sufficient rain falls in the summer to eliminate the necessity of irriga tion. Never in the history of Lewis county, since the establishment of the Hudson's Bay trading post, 20 miles southeast of the present city of Che halis, has a blizzard, cyclone or serious electric storm been recorded. Lewis county's location, between two mountain ranges, protects it perma nently from extremes of tempera ture boisterous winds, lightning and thunder. For warmth when required, fuel is cheap and plentiful. Slabs, mill cuttings and cordwood are delivered at surprisingly low prices. Even ex cellent coal, mined within the cor porate limits of the city, if you please, may be had for exceptionally low prices. Given ample timber for build ing shelter, plentiful fuel for warmth and rich soils for growing vegetables, fruits and pasturing cattle, who can not prosper? Some army generals have said that an army travels upon its stomach, others claim that it travels upon Its feet. Washington proved at Valley Forge, where his men had neither food, adequate cloth ing nor shoes, that an army .xould fight and conquer solely upon its spirit. What a glorious record of achievement should follow where nature provides everything. and where advancement is not measured in bloody footprints, as in the latter years of Chehalis' growth. 1 Not alone by comfortable auto stage are travelers and goods moved to Chehalis. .'An interurban trolley line connects with their nearest neighboring city of ' Oentralia. A daily passenger service is also pro vided by trans-continental trains of the Northern Pacific, Union Pacific and Great Northern railways. The Chehalis A Cowlitz railroad, run ning from Chehalis to the big bot tom section of Lewis county, taps a rich country of thousands of fertile acres, great mineral deposits and huge groups of magnificent timber. And then the roads of Lewis county, always the greatest factor in the building of any community. Chehalis itself is intersected by three main sta.te highways. Throughout the county an immense amount of work has been done on the roads. Old corduroy and puncheon roads have been converted into magnificent high ways, fit for all classes of wheeled traffic. Chehalis is on the direct route of the Pacific highway, which runs from Blaine, the most northerly point in the state, to Vancouver the state's most southerly city. The Na tional Park highway, from Tacoma to Rainier national park, crosses Lewis county via Mineral, Morton, Eiffe and Mossyrock, intersecting the Pa cific highway at Chehalis; thence westward via Littell. Adna. Dryad, Doty. Pe Ell and McCormick to Willapa harbor. Resources and Industries Listed. Facts and figures are often dry subjects. Without them, however, no intelligent measure of progress or estimation of a community can be NEWS FROM BEACH RESORTS (Continued From Page 5.) ton D., which carries visitors across to Bayocean. This natatorium always has been a drawing card, attracting visitors from Tillamook and the other beaches. Thomas Meunberg and Frank Ter heyden of Milwaukie, Or., have been spending a week at this resort. Among the guests at the Bayocean hotel were Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Cugh son of Portland. One of the recent visitors was F. C. Maguire of Tillamook. Among those registered at Bunga low City is M. Thad Venness of Port land. A group of visitors from Salem registered at the Bayocean hotel was composed of Clifford O. Wilson, David Adolph and O. W. White. At My Wife's Inn cottage for a week are Harold R. Nelson and Clif ford W. Johnson of Portland. Mr. and Mrs. A. Gavin and daughter. Miss Nancy Gavin, are guests at the Hotel Bayocean. Another group at Bungalow City is that of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hogan and family, -who are enjoying eheir vacation at this resort.

McCallum, Verda and Dorothy McCallum are among those registered at Hotel Bayocean and spending a few days at this place. From Mohler, Or., are Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Stam and daughter and their guest. Miss Dotson of California. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Daviee and H. 11. made. The three banks of Chehalis contain combined deposits of nearly $5,000,000. Not a bad showing for a population of less than 6000 persons. Chehalis is a city of home-owners, self-contained in the vital respects of local natural resources and happy in the matter of home labor. Che halis has a large monthly payroll, contributed by two large, modern sawmills., an immense woodworking plant, numerous smaller industrial plants and from communities and in dustries tributary to the city. The Carnation Milk Products com pany, handling ths products of "con tented cows," has one of the largest milk condensing plants in the west, also a mammoth utility plant erected by the dairymen of Lewis and Pacific counties. Two coal mines are located witlrln the city, representing large deposits of sub-bituminous coal, and others are operated nearby. Other impor tant industries are a furniture fac tory, toy factory, fruit and vegetable cannery, creamery, ice plant, brick and tile plant, a cigar factory, bot tling works and a marble works. In addition there are more than 60 mod ern stores of various kinds, exclusive of well-equipped garages and ma chine shops providing every neces sity of the motorist. City Well Drained. Sanitary conditions leave nothing to be desired. Chehalis being located on a side hill, it is well drained by modern sewage and draining systems. The Chehalis water system, owned by the city, is a matter of justifiable local pride. Pure mountain water, operated by a gravity system and protected by a reserve. Is brought to the city from the mountains 17 miles distant. The state training school, housing more than 200 inmates, is located just outside the city limits. A mod ern high school, two grade schools and another to be erected shortly constitute the educational equipment of Chehalis from the public school viewpoint. There are two up-to-date newspapers with well-furnished plants. Eight churches, representing practically all the old and . newer faiths, provide for the spiritual life of the city. Chehalis also maintains a fine choral society and a band which ranks high in the musical ac tivities of the state. Capital is proverbially timid. To couple daring with Investment in variably spells success in a new land. Supplemented by stability, thorough ness and energy, the chances of fail ure are remote. The way has been paved for intelligent investment in this day and age by careful compila tion of statistics covering the natural resources and the thousands of bona fide opportunities in the "last fron tier" of the Is'orth American conti nent. It is a poor spirit, indeed, that, with the advantages presented it, purchased by danger, suffering and hardship, cannot profit by his heri tage. Look stop and reason. To elab orate further upon the advantages, economic, . healthful and social, of southwestern Washington might rouse the timid skeptic to sneers. What was it that Emerson said? There are thousands who look, to one that sees. There are thousands who see, to one that understands. , In Chehalis is an active citizens club. It can tell you of actual con crete facts, - covering any phase of activities in their city. ''Honestly, if a comparatively casual survey re veals so much, how reasonable it .Is to assume that further investigations would develop undreamed-of wealth. Ask T. J. O'Connor.

Manhattan beach is closer than any of the other Tillamook beaches to the Nehalem river fishing and crabbing grounds. For this rea son groups of visitors are constantly making excursions and bringing back fine catches of trout, crabs, clams or deep sea fish.
