Two men looking for "material" and experience in the greats Pacific northwest arrived In Portland this morning. One was a big chap and looked like he might be a sporting writer or a commercial traveler or Bome one whose thoughts were as far from the world of art as one could imagine. He was Charles Dana Gibson, the creator of the Gib son' girl. ..The other man was somewhat smaller and lighter in weight. He had curly hair, ', wore . glasses and was smooth shaven. He was quick and nervous in his actions with the appearance of one With all', the aesthetic. Instincts ' of the most artistic temperament. He looked all ' the world Ilk a n artist an artist who draws or " paints for . a livelihood, and who had never thought of anything else In his life. He was Norman Han- good, editor , of Collier's Weekly, and one oi tne oest. Known eauoriat writers in the country. - The two are sightseeing. Everything considered,' It is quite likely that some rime in tne future tne true western gin drawn by Mr. Gibson from life will be all' the rage. Mr. Gibson explained that he is married and that he had been making observations from a dis tance. Mr. Hapgood is married too. " Mr. Hapgood is making this trip be cause he has never before visited the Pacific coast and because he wishes to familiarise himself with conditions In this part of the country. Inciden tally, he will take a few - notes and rite what strikes his fancy. Praise Qirls of Coast. You Oregon girls all you girls on the Pacific coast should have heard what Mr. Gibson said about you this morning In room 211 at the Hotel Pork land. And what he said was so well said and so tactfully worded that one la Inclined to believe that Mr. Gibson has been practicing on compliments for the girls or the, west. He said thev were just about the prettiest things he had ever seen. Only Mr. Gibson didn't say "things." He used some word the reporter had never heard before. And their complexions! Oh, If you girls could have only been there to hear the artist rave! And he didn't nerlect the features. They were distinct, he said, and had made a great impression upon him. Like Mr. Hap- ?ood. Mr. Gibson has never been this ar west before. Mr. Gibson, isn't as inquisitive as his traveling companion. That Is, Mr. Gib son doesn't ask so many questions. But he looks and he sees and he remembers. He has Inquiring eyes, one might say. Hlr, Impressions of the west and the northwest are to appear during the win ter. -Mr. titbson was asxeo aooui me Gibson .girl. The artist, who, by the way, has only recently returned from abroad where he has been studying art in color, was not Inclined to talk of the Gibson girl or himself. He is a very modest man. instead he said, he would rather talk about the western girl. ' A Journal man wa one of the earliest callers upon the 4wo travelers of re nown. He had 'no sooner reached their apartment than they bgan asking ques tions. In this Mr. Hapgood took the lead. He is Just about the most Inquis itive person one ever met.

' "I do not wish to use strong Ian-, guage. in political things I do not usually have strong feelings, but I do think that the effort being made in Oregon to override the principles' of Statement No. 1 and circumvent the election of Governor Chamber lain to the United States senate Is a despicable outrage upon the peo-. pie of the state who put the-law upon - the statute hooka.

"I never saw a clearer cut question in my life. It Is not a Question of devo tlon t party. It is a quentlon of devo tion to principle, it Is contended that the pledges given by Statement No. t members of the legislature are uncon stitutional. What if they , are r Sup pose that there was no law and that three or four men made pledges to th people. Would they not be expected to keep their pledges? Would they be Jus tified in break In it them, or would any one be engaged in an honorable business who might attempt to Influence the men to break their pledge? "It seems to me that there is no need for all this agitation. The lsaue is too clear cut and distinct. -It is simply a " question of whether men ought to keep pledges made voluntarily by them to the people who voted for them, or to break their promises and betray their ' con- stituents. That. Is all there is to th question and ther is but one answer. "If I were In the' newspaper business In Oregon," was Mr. Hapgood closing remark, "I' would be frothing at the; mouth over this question. It seems to me that the Republican paper of th -state who do not take a decided stand for tha upholding of th law on this question are neglectful of their duty.
