Connell, who has lived In Portland
th greater part of his llf. Is a grad
uate of the Portland high school In th
class of 1900.. In recent years he haa
been employed Indoora and electa to
spend his vacatlona tramping over the
country. He walks for very lov of It and
Ms keenest enjoyment comes when he
don his traveling suit, shoulders his
Kits and starts on his chosen journey.
Experience has taught him the prop
er diet, th necessary' camp equipment,
tha right clothing and shoes and the
best method of covering ground' for
these annual tramps.' He haa never re
ceived an -Injury and haa never lost a
pound of flesh, no matter -how hard his
path or how fast the time be has-road.
Walking, aa a sport, waa. taken up. by
ConneU one summer, four years ago.
On spring day he and a companion
went fishing; up on -the Little Sandy
on bicycles. ' His wheel- broke down,
necessitating a lone "hike" horn. He
covered th -33 miles In -a day without
any undue exertion '' and liked - it. so
much that ha concluded to maka a prao-

fallen th Portland boy but he ha never
carried 'a firearm on any of his trips.
He say that a rifle la too heavv to neck
and that a revolver would do little dam
age to a wild beast as that Is all ha
would carry it for. Once In th red
wood - forest of northern California a
panther cam danr-rerouslv near. Connell
wag sleeping in- the hollow of 'a dead
trea and saw two ball of fire, the pan
ther's eyea, within flv feet of him. He
remained motionless and shortly th an
imal cantered awavi1' ,
' On night he slept In an Irrigating
ditch on his 1,000-mile Jaunt and came
within an ace of being gored by a vi
cious bull.' The animal pawed up half
an. acre of ground, above him but mad
no mov to -lunge into the deep ditch.
Connell waa tied up in hia Bleeping bag
and would have fared badly had ' th
bull charged him. - Bears hav . ap-
roaonea on numerous occasions on his
rips to the Pusret - sound countrr but
pone ever, grew threatening. He does
not molest them and they let him alone,
he says, - . -
Thirtywali v hours without' - food Was
One of the predicaments that confront

' Shoes have been one of the draw
backs, to hia walking and ha - only re
cently solved the footgear problem. His
old shoes with their heels caused pain
in those muscles In tha region of . the
ahln 'bones. - He had a pair specially
made which ..cling close to tha aolea of
hia feet, of medium thickness and with
out the at en ef a heel. These aolea
are hob-nailed after th manner of a
lumberjack's - and ar of great value
for .the security In . crossing fallen

fVi g,. taught that the- limb should b
protected from the vicious dog of, th
country-side. He wear a fatigue hat
and corduroy hunting coat, . In which
be carries his provisions and. fishing
tackle. A flannel shirt completes the
raiment. At night he slumbers In a
sleeping bar of comfortable proportion.
"The matter of diet is one of - th
things th new beginner should study
seriously,' said Connell. "I hjv tried
a great number of ' different kinds , of
foods and-1 find that the greatest nour
ishment comes from two simple ar
ticles, eggs and coarse oatmeaL Dur
ing the -40 day of my last trip I sub
sisted on this - diet almost wholly. I
weighed 140 pounds when I left Oak
land and tipped th beams st the earn
figure when . I reached Seattle, :
. "Sometimes I have -eaten as. manr aa
eight eggs at a . meal but usually I
find three plenty. I boll, them lightly
before eating. A pint of oatmeal mixed
with either honey or milk is , the other
course,' , I - can i breakfast on tnis diet
at 7 o'clock in the morning, and don't
care to eat aaaln until 1 or 3 o'clock
tn th afternoon. On a meat diet I find
myself hungry at 10 ociocK, . ..
Onlr 'On Way. to tvtlk,' .'
' "There is only one way to walk and
that la with the long, swinging stride.
The 'best example of thla and the- one
I point out to beginners is to ' watch
the hind leg of a horse.- The, leg swings
from th hip Ilk a pivot and that Is
what the human leg should do. People
who bend the knee will never become
tireless walkers.- , " ; '
' , "An eastern nubllshma house- wanted
me to undertake a trip across the con
tinent a couple of years ago. but w
could not coma to terms at -that time,
I am ready to want rrom rortiana to
Nw York and fel " that I can cover
the distance Id five months with .ease.
However, I cannot leave my work that
long unless my expenses snail do met
and hav something left-over -for the
