BLYTHE
"MASTERED"
PORTLAND'S TRADE
Substituted Crawfish for Commercial Statistics Because
His Stay in This City Was Too Short to .
Allow Investigation.
Samuel Blythe of New York ha
not ytt mastered the Pacific, although
he haa made a very creditable literary
effort to do so. Mr. Blythe did not
have time to do any mastering maa
tlcatlnt was his limit and the crawfish
was t;fren a place In history. Henpn the
story of mastering of a mighty ques
tion during 24 hours' stay In Oregon.
They are telling It at the clubs.
Three oltles were selected by Mr.
Blythe, so the story goes, which were
to. recelre especial attention from him
In the Saturday Evening Post of Phila
delphia. Portland was not Included in
the list for Mr. Blythe had to get back
to Washington as soon as he could and
a protracted stay In Fortland would
have delayed the national fame of poll
tics for the New York World, to the
staff of which newspaper Mr. Blytbe Is
attached.
"You are going to make a stay In
Portland. Mr. Blythe V asked a friend
of the writer.
To, I am going out this evening or
to
tomorrow morning. I miint get hac
"How about Portland and the mastery
f the Pacific T"
"Haven't time to stay here, old man;
must get home," was the smiling but
emphatic reply.
Mr. Blythe departed. Then the com
merelal bodies commenced to look for
the mastery as advertised and no Port
land mastery came through. - A protest
was sent to the Post and its manage
ment courteously replied that It would
have Mr. Blythe publish an article
about Portland which would do this
city Justice. Mr. Blythe went to the
task hut ne had not collected the neces
sary dada for a Portland "Maatery of
the Pacific" article and was obliged to
fall back on the rones and crawfish. The
feniieman nan visited fortland during
he I'Swls and Clark fair and had
had knowledge of both of these things
of which Portland Is proud but he
anew noi or its vsst commerce, great in
land empire trsde and wonderful com
merelal advantages.
Naturally, Mr. Blythe was somewhat
up a stump when It came to talking
Asmiic iraoa statistics and or lumber,
flour and big red applea. The crawfish
was the only stable article of trade that
he had run up agalnat; he figured that
ne migni inject a crawrmn or two into
the story and touch up the oaraaraDhs
with rosea. He did himself proud, and
Portland, too, for that matter, but the
trade flguren were not there and there
waa a shortage of Oregon commercial
literature In the World building. It was
a simple case of crawfish or nothing.
Delay In producing the story followed
and It Is vaguely hinted that the follow
ing dispatch waa nent from New York:
aend me fortland statistical literature;
I want to have her master the Pacific.
The literature waa sent by express; it
got side-tracked and Portland's boosters
became Impatient.
Much wns the relief the other day
when the Post appeared with the TaS'
tery" story and the table of contents
of a crawfish's claw; the average haul
per net mid the percentage of 111 effect
of over-indulgence. But the article was
a very nice one, nevertheless, and Port
land can afford to be generous and say
"Thank you, sir.
THREE GIRLS SKILLED
IN DEEDS OF CRIME
(Special Dispatch to Th Journal.)
Turlington. Wyo., Sept. 10. Ethel
Manning, Kate Barlow ad Oretta Car
ter, three Wyoming girls ranging In
age from It to 84 years have of late
been doing sensational stunts as cow
boys and bandits In western Wyoming.
It has Just transpired that loot
spring they disguised themselves us
men and, going Into Fremont coutity,
went to work on the range as cow
boys. They were all accomplished and
daring horsewomen, being able to rlrio
bucking bronchos as skillfully as the
oldest broncho-busters In the west;
and cut out steers, round up the herd
and do all the other tricks the cow-
funoher is able to do. They followed
he life of cowboys for several months
without divulging the secret of their
sex or even arousing suspicion, and
then, growing tired of the range and
longing for more exciting experiences
than they were likely to meet with
there, they threw up their Jobs, got
their heads together and decided to
turn bandits.
That was several weeks ago, and
since then, still wearing their dis
guises, they have been perpetrating
atlck-ups and robberies m Wyoming
with a skill and daring that would
do credit to the west." They have held
up no fewer than eight or ten men In
lonely plncvs out on the plains and
rell'-ved them of their money and other
valuables; they have gone to ranch
houses and robbed their occupants in
broad daylight. as,d they have gone
to roadhouses nnd, at the point of six
shooters, held up the men they found
gathered (there.
The discovery that they are women
was made after they had perpetrated
a hold-up and robbery near Meeteetse,
h few days ago, and they came near
being captured then, but they con
trived by a bold effort to make tholr
escape, and they are now believed to
be operating In eastern Idaho. They
have no relatives In this state and
have been leading wild lives for sev
eral years.
Adopting a Dead Mother4! Children.
Ernest Thompson Seton's wolf artlole
in the October American Magazine,
which contains many Interesting facts
about animal marriage, includes a great
many atorles of actual cases. For ex
ample: "When I was at Sidney. Ohio, in
March 1902, I met an old hunter who
related a curious and interesting story
that illustrates the motherllness of the
she wolf. About 20 years before, when
he lived In Wisconsin, a bounty of $10
each waa put on gray wolves, and he
pent a good deal of time In hunting
lem One dav ha saw a wolf coma to
the river to drink. Ho shot and killed
then found that It was a female
pe
the
suckling young. He searched many days
for the nest and could not find It.
"Two weeks later he shot another
female wolf oomlng out of a hollow log.
(the alao was suckling young. lie
crawled Into the log and found 13 wolf
pups of two different sizes six very
smHll ones, seven much larfeer. This
wolf had but six teats In commission.'
so he concluded that this she wolf had
rescued the young of the first female
he had shot.

Salem, Or., Sept. 20. Yesterday was
Portland day at the state fair and no
better description of the crowds can be
given than In the statement that there
were 17,(27 paid edmlsslona This does
not nearly represent the total attend
ance, which probably reached at least
20,000. It waa thought that yesterday
was a record-breaker, but It Is estimated
there will be fully 10 per cent more In
attendance today and 60 per cent more
than had ever before attended a state
fair.
If the streetcars could not take care
of the crowds Monday, thsy were abso
lutely submerged yesterday. Even In
the morning before the special trains
from Portland arrived there were crowds
on the grounds. After the trains came
In only the quickest stood any chance
of getting a car, and the people walking
from the depot resembled an army. At
the olose of the races and late In the
evening when the people were leaving
the grounds large number walked to a
place that the cara slow up at the rail
way crossing, and cars were. often more
than fully -loaded before they arrived
at their stopping place at the grounds.
Though the greater number of the
visitors left town on trains yesterday,
every spare room In Salem was taken
and people slept last night in halls, ho
tel offices and any place where a human
being might possibly sleep.

The Judging of stock wss carried on
In all departments, commencing on cat

An address was given ay congress

tures.
