BY DOROTHY COX HESSE.
From professional guide to a uni
versity football coach's bride is but
another elf ctrltving adventure In the
career of Oregon's only woman hunt
ers' and anglers' pilot Mrs. Charles
Sb,y) Huntington, formerly Miss Hal
lie Hills. Tomorrow, when the Uni
versity of Oregon squad leaves for
Honolulu, it will guard from the curi
ous eyes of the world the honeymoon
ers, Coach Huntington and his pretty
young wife.
For 13 years this true-to-flctlon
western girl has lived with her
father, Jasper Hills. well-known
guide and trapper. In the mountains
six miles above Oakrldge, Or., and for
eight of those busy, crowded years,
she has packed In with many a ten
derfoot and a multitude of the been-in-before
sportsmen from far and
near, many of whom have spanned the
continent to hunt big game In Ore
gon. Sometimes the hunting grounas
were far from any kind of a trail,
but Miss Hallie blazed a way and car
Tied on. t
Horse Shod I'ndrr Difficulties.
She had lost her way and found It
again without her party suspecting
that anything was amiss, and If a
horse oust a shoe, she was not dis
mayed. "For I early learned," she
said, "the necessity for being able to
rely upon myself. In the mountains
one must do so or he is always afraid.
I usually carry the essential tools,
but once I forgot them and was forced
to shoe my horse by the use of a
pocket knife and a rock." A look of
genuine surprise kindled In her hazel
eyes when I exclaimed over her In
genuity. To her the act was. not a
unique accomplishment for a young
; lady, but was merely a prosaic part
of the day's work.
As the age of 15 years she took her
first party unassisted Into the big
woods. Her companions were two
women from Chicago on their Initial
trip to the northwest. They craved
a change of scenery and a few thrills
and they wanted something with
which to enchant their friends "back
east." "And they got what they
were after," said Miss Hallie, with a
merry laugh of reminiscence. "They
were frightened at every sound they
heard. There was a cougar crouch
ing on every limb and an angry, hun
gry bear behind every tree.
Women From the Kant Timid.
"We camped on Beaver dam prairie
on the Salt creek trail and they lived
six days without anything happening
to them, but a constant expectation.
The first night they never closed
their eyes. They felt safer with the
three of us lying upon one bed, with
me on the side that looked to them
to be the '.scariest.'"
As a concession to their ten
derness and timidity, she made
a bed of moss and blankets, al
though she herself was accustomed
to sleeping upon the ground. Her
trustworthy Winchester and her abil
ity to use It to kjll lent some degree
of comfort also to the ladies from
the eastern metropolis.
Unassistod, this Oregon mountain
girl has brought down one big brown
bear, several deer and a legion of
v lldcats. But she admits that many
times she btl known fear when alone
and night had overtaken her. Her
greatest thrill, she said, came one
dark, stormy night in the late sum
mer two years ago. She was riding
her sure and swift-footed white horse
when a mountain lion, the dreaded
nemy of all the forest people, sprang
from the limb of a tree beneath which
she was passing. "How he missed
us I don't know, but he landed on
the ground almost under the horse's
feet. The frightened animal Jumped,
and. like a flash of summer lightning
made a white streak along the trail.
We left the lion behind u but our
fear stayed with us all through that
night," she smiled.
Forest rut ml War Job.
During the war, for three summers,
"Shy's" bride, then unknown to him,
was on forest patrol work, traversing
the country from Oakrldge to the
summit of the Cascades. She was
serving both the United States gov
ernment and keeping vigil over tim
ber lands owned by a big eastern
company. At this time her sole com
panions were her horse, a dog, a re
volver and her Winchester. "When
alone," she said, "I always travel
light and I sleep wherever night
finds me." The earth, she declared,
Is her mattress and the sky her roof.
Among Miss Mills' other accom
plishments are breaking unused, un
ruly horses, handling a boat or a raft
for boat fishing, sewing, making
bread "like mother used to make"
and both fancy and camp cooking.
During the years 1916-16. while at
tending the Lincoln high school In
Portland, she wanted to convince her
self and show some doubting Thom
ases that she was not Just a tomboy,
but could be as domestic as the aver
age girl, with the result that she
captured several prizes offered In the
domestic arts department.
"Shy" Man Tames "Wild" Girl."
Upon her brief trips from Oakrldge
to Eugene she was frequently pointed
out as "that wild Hills girl." but she
laughingly acknowledged that it took
a shy man to tame her. For it was
while guilding Coach "Shy" Hunting
ton and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hayward.
Oregon's athletic trainer, on a ten
day fishing and camping trip In the
Oold lake country last August, that
"Shy" became acquainted with, court
ed and won his Independent, petite
suburn-halred bride. And now around
her neck she wears a small football
of gold, bearing her husband's name
a trophy for the 1919 Pacific coast
football championship, and folks do
say that t"he Hills girl could doubt
less train the lemmon-yellow's fight
ing eleven if Huntington turned up
shy.
Upon their return from Honolulu
the couple will make their home In
Eugene and Mistress Huntington will
he fluting a pie crust more often than
she will be pulling a trigger. But
the call of the wild cannot be per
manently hushed and already she Is
making tentative plans for guiding a
large party next summer far up Into
the mighty Cascades where the trails
are few and hard to follow or where
there are none.

Portland Is buying 1921 Christmas
goods in volume exceeding that of
the holiday season of 1920. according
to statements yesterday of executives
of leading department and specialty
stores of the city. In comparison with
a year ago. when prices were at their
peak, the merchandise volume dis
posed of dally at the stores is from
one lounn to on. -ha f greater than
the banner year in Portland's mer
chandising history.
Sale of toys, although the butlng
rush on this great Christmas com
modity has not been reached, has
been phenomenal, according -o mer
chants. One department sfBr. head
declared that the cash business in his
toy department had .doubled that of
the corresponding pfriod last year,
notwithstanding the fact that prices
In many Instances are 59 per cent
under those of December, 1920. An
other department store man said his
toy department was ahead of last
year with every prospect for better
sales In the closing rush of the sea
son. The average Christmas shopper Is
demanding the "Staples of Christmas
trade and is spending his money
largely for practical and useful gifts,
the merchants Indicated. Except for
a certain class the demand for frills
haj departed as suddenly as it came
during the high tide of war prosper
ity. Portland people are buying care
fully, but with a flood demand that
has practically filled the stores with
customers dally. As a result sales
staffs have been Increased until In
many departments of the large stores
there are more than twice as many
employes as. last year.
prices Have Gravitated.
Prices since last year have gravi
tated to a level where merchants esti
mate that at least one-third more
merchandise must change hands if
the same amount of money Is taken
in as In 1920. Toys and some other
lines show an even greater reduction,
but prices of some commodities havs ,
cot yet been greatly reduced.
A change that tends toward the dis
posal of an even greater volume of
merchandise for a given sum of
money is the type of goods Christmas
shoppers are buying, department store
men point out. While selections a
year ago tended toward the fancy,
people are now buying for quality
and utility. They arc not seeking
cheap things. Merchandise quality
during the past year has tehded to
ward the pre-war standard, by which
the purchasing public Judges com
modities.
The Christmas rush became notice
able at least a week in advance of
t revlous years and is expected to reach
its full height the coming week. The
stores are handling a larger number
of customers than ever. Aisles are
crowded In many departments of the
leading stores until there is scarcely
standing room. Delivery as well as
sales forces already have felt the ef
fect of the season's demand.
Karl? Shopping Suggested.
The housewife who has given heed
to the "do your Christmas shopping
early" slogan should remember that
In the purchasing the term applies
equally well to the time of day.
Stores which are crushed with an
Armistice day street crowd from
noontime on are practically normal
during the mprning. Clerks are fresh
and goods have not had the disturb
ing i: yjrt of thousands of shoppers
passed over them. The streetcar men
and the workmen who must brave
the homegoing crowds of shoppers at
the end of the day Join with the. mer
chants in inviting housewives to shop
during the morning hours. The
stores are practically free from
crowds from then on till noon. At 5
o'clock with the closing of the stores
the shoppers swell the home rush
that begins from offices, shops and
stores.
The carrying home of small pur
chases would be a boon to the deliv
ery system, department store men
say. While every effort is being made
to avoid delay or confusion small de
livery packages cause as much trou
ble, if not more, than large ones from
the time they are wrapped up at the
counter until they are left at the
back door.
Toy departments stocked with all
manner of novelties; from magnetic
ally operated watercraft and speed
ers with real engines to the old-time
stapje dolls, drums and baby blocks,
hay begun to be the center of at
traction for older foLks as well as
youngsters. The war machinery,
which came to the front with tanks,
bombing planes, submarines and ar
mored cars in war days, Is less in evi
dence than usual.
Santa Clans In Evidence.
Santa Claus,' the old-time favorite.
Is present In each of the department
stores for consultation with eager
kiddies, who depart with confidence
never again to be shaken by skep
tical remarks of playmates or elders.
German-made toys have returned to
the market but encounter more vig
orous competition from American and
Oregon-made products than ever be
fore. Purchasers, in the opinion of
one store executive, have forgotten
the sentiment against the German
manufactured products and are buy
ing them when tftey meet th4)lr fancy.

CHROME TARIFF SOUGHT
MINIXG MEX WORKING FOR
PROTECTIVE LEGISLATION
Engineers and Property Holders of
Grants Pass District Set
Rate Deemed Essential.
GRANTS PASS. Or.. Dec. 10. (Spe
cial.) Mining men of this district are
bending every effort to bring about
enactment of a protective tariff upon
chrome ore in order to compete with
other points producing the mineral.
Mining engineers and chrome prop
erty holders met recently, and In
reply to a telegram from Senator Mo
Nary that he be advised what rate
was deemed essential, said that- a
tariff of 50 cents each unit of chrome
oxide a ton was necesRary to make a
majority of the deposits pay even a
small margin of profit. It was also
the consensus of opinion of the
operators that ferro chrome and all
manufactured products of refined ore
should have proportionate tariff
rates.
Other senators and representatives
have been heard from in regard to the
situation. C. N. McArthur has ad
vised that he has Indorsed the prop
osition. N. J. Slnnott has promised
to bring the subject to the attention
of the ways and means committee of
the house and R. N. Stanfield sent
word that he can be depended upon
to do whatever possible for the
chrome industry. W. C. Hawley is
doubtful if a special tariff bill could
be passed, but said that In his Judg
ment any tariff on chrome ore will
have to be Included In a general bill.

SALEM. Or.. Dec. 10. (Special.)
The public service commission, acting
on complaints received from shippers.
today sent a telegram to officials of
the Southern Pacific Railroad com
pany urging that they provide dry
cars during winter months for grain
and grain products.
"We are again besieged by shippers
by reason of your failure to furnish
dry cars during winter months for
grain and grain products," said the
commission's letter.
"While other roads are able to take
care of their patrons properly It
seems very strange that the Southern
Pacific company should be Incapable
of doing likewise. One shipper has
informed the commission that it has
reaulred ten days to obtain a com
pliment of two cars for cereal ship
ment destinatlon on your lines.
"Offhand we would say that Cali
fornia is getting first choice and Ore
gon what Is left. These complaints
are beooming altogether too frequent
and we believe inexcusable."
