THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON FRIDAY MORNING; AUGUST 3, 1923 4i r STORY OF CHERRIAN TRIP IS TOLD BY ONE OF THEM Arrived home Wednesday noon Julr from the Montana trip and (was off again this following tnoralngjon a trip Uo southern Oregon 'with' the Cherrians. A iej lined up at 7 in the mor ning there Were 18 cars all tagged with a Cherrlan sign.. We had I the band, and in all there were ill Cherrians In uniform; just a nice "number to make a good showing. We colled out of town alt blowing our horns, and in a short time we were - parsing throui)i the main; street of Jefferson, with all the people on'- the main street waving as we ." passed V. through. Another halhour, w&L were lat Albany. - iWre- we ; gavex a' street parade, and I carried the. banner. One ind-bjearted ;croperY Billie East burn, gave us a box of. peach es as we stopped fa front of his place and sang a few songs. Then we were off again over that rough road to Corvallia. I was ordered to take the lead and follow the traffic officer, and I ! set the i pace and sure received a good shaking up in doing so. so much so that my -engine would not start When I was ready to leave Corvallis, but it only hap pened to be a loose connection on the battery box. Abovt 20, miles oat of Corval lis I stopped to put up the top. and of course all the other cars parsed me, and when I was roll- idjg again I'oon caneht up t a (Aerriani caf , fcafckjif ft lnjside: 61 tie rrtSd, Te Jirt0sengerf rftvMiir '-life vfcved as rfhded on it.

" 'At Eugene we fed ourselves-, at the restaurants, and then gave a street parade and were off to Cot tage Grove for another parade. .Cottage; GfoVe jdid not know we were coming' until 30 minutes be- . fore our arrival, but they certain ly gave us an enthusiastic recep tion, as I'noticed some" of the lead ing merchants, cbatless and hat- less, leading our parade up. the main street. Mr. Barteii or tne . Hotel Bartell, passed around a box of cigars and we cleaned up all the Ice cream cones In town. -We did sot make another stop until oui ' arrival at Koseburg at 6 s o'cloic-' Here we areglstered for tne atgbTt; cleaned op, and were entertained at dinner -by the Roseburg -Chamber of Commerce. Then another parade and 6ff to tie park: to the band concert. The Roseburg band, a verr good band. gave a- fine- concert 'In their new bandstand, a 'dandy stand In - the shape if a shell. They played ' tin 9 o'clock and then ' gave way to ae Cherrlan band, whlcb gave a wonderful 'concert and' certainly was appreciated by the audience. The reason1 these concerts' sound d so good was due to the shape tt, the ' bandstand. ",Yoo icoald sand ; blocks away and bear It plainly. How' I wish we had one here in Balem. We' all noticed the difference In! the sottnd of th music. ' The next morning alCcar were oft at S, eTen Frank Water's. Vbo A hi Til car repaired, and balance did not .- know anything about it. I would like to name these eight lucky Cherrians. but i'as I believe every one of them was married I fear I had better not mention any names. This was a beautiful dance pavillion. good floor and good1 music', 'but' the best of it all was that the ladies, and especially the leading ones, who too.k part in the opera, came over to the pavil lion 'dressed, in their costumes and-monopolized the lucky eight. We sure had some time. When we told the other Cherrians about It the following day, they were sure a sore bunch, they were sure "kicking" .themselves, especially Zadoc Riggs and Albert Gille. Left Medford, Saturday morn ing at 9 o'clock 'and were met at the city limits of Ashland by the. "Lithians." There is where the real entertainment commenced. Their caris had j banners reading "The Lithians welcome the Cher rians." They-paraded us through the beautiful city of Ashland, and then to their wonderful park. It's sure & beautiful park.- Anyone passing through Ashland should not miss stopping at this park. The only ; trouble is that once you get into it 'you will not only stop, you are likely to pitch your tent and. stay a week, as so many tourists do.

That's not all, but 1 cannot remember the balance. This was all cooked at home and I believe brought there by the wives of the Lithians.1 We sure appreciated It. j This was all spread on tables under the beau tiful trees. j . Bert Miller, a fine looking fel low, and, by the way, a particular friend, of mine,! was toastmaster and Sparkling Water of the Lithi ans. He was' formerly an officer of the Berrians of Newburg. He certainly had his job down pat, and knew J how j to make us feel good, u Their ouartet sang to ns and one of them ran like this: "Every flimr's got two speeds, High is all Ashland needs." -S Before' the Cherrians could re spond and sfng some ; of their songs, the whistle blew and we all hurtled down to the'depot to see President Harding. I might say right here that "I do not believe tha? I will ever forgive King Bing Hainilton for . making ' tis make that march with the thermometer standing then at 101 in the shade. I was carrying the banner and I was all in. Then ' be nad the nerve to march jus ! back again, and 1 quit right therec I asked a Lithlan to hold the banner for me for a few minutes and I disap peared. . 1 i We returned to the park, and then the - Lithians took us - for - a drive over the city ending up at the natatorium where we all went In swimming. It was great.

It seemed itself to "en velop the child in safety. "Yes, . sweetheart, t Mother's right here." ,:;j:.' ...--, "What's the matter? : O-h-h ' ' ' Her scream seemed to pierce the roof. For a terrorized instant I feared that some inadvertent movement of -her body had given her pain, and knew that the phy sician and nurse Bhared my ap1 prehensions by the quick, concert ed 'movement they made toward the child. But in another second the explanation had come. 5 - 1 "The horses!" Marlon' shud dered, and we realized she was living over- the awful moment when the maddened animal "baa dashed over her. . Lillian had : dropped to :he knees beside "the cot at the cry. and had drawn the terrified child into her arms.. "There, there, darlinfr." she soothed. "Mother's here, and nothing can get you." "Where Are We?" AtMvp.f action I had seen I)r Pettlr.V-hawl gesture toward her with involuntary though Impotent protest, and realized that he fear ed jnovemeaj for the little bodjf with itsayet undetermined' in juries. EdtCas the child, with no indication Of pain; nestled close to her mother, I watching him nar- rowiy, .In the endeavor to ascer tain his real opinion , concerning Marion's condition saw his face relax, though almost impercepti bly, and knew that the incident had "brought him distinct reas surance.-: , Marion did not speak again for long minute. With one hand clinging" to her mother's hand, and the other carcessing her face, she appeared to be revelling in the assurance of safety her moth er's embrace gave her. Then her eyes roved to the rest of us. ) "Auntie Madge," she said with glad recognition. "Dr. ' Pettit there was wonderment In the clear tones, x "And" her eyes rested on Miss Jones in her uniform. 'Mother, where are we? This Isn't one of the rooms at TIc- ers." ' With characteristic caution Lil lian glanced at Dr. Pettit for ad vice as; to the answer he wished given to the child. He nodded his head In permis sion to reveal ' the truth, and Lil lian smiled gayly at her small daughter. ; "I'll give you three guesses," she said, and I saw that she was deftly trying to remove any un easiness in the child's mind by her own unconcerned manner. 1 -Marion's face lighted with ans wering gayety. "That's easy," she said, look ing at Miss Jones's uniform. "It's a hospital. But " with a start led look. "Did I break anything? Will I be able to walk?" Dr. Pettit bent over her. I'm Hungry." "I'm sure yiu will, Marion," he laid calmly. But I 'wanf you to keep very still for a little While and rest, will you V"j - 4Oh, yes!' docilely, and her eyes went contentedly back to ' her mother's ' face. I The physician : took her pulse and temperature, and made a brief cursory examination of the little body. . t S "Everything's all right so far.' His voice no less than his words reassured, for he had let the re lief he felt Uhow through bis pro fessional s calm. "Now, I wonder If I can guess what you are think ing about." The child's eyes twinkled, and I recognized anew in her the same indomitable spirit which keeps her mother smiling no matter what obstacles confront her. "I can't wait to have you guess." sne said, "I'm hungry. "That's splendid." Dr. Pettit returned heartily. "Miss Jones is a regular Aladdin. Please go and rub your' lamp. Miss Jones." J The nurse hurried " away, and Marion eontentedlyijsfluggled clo ser tov her' mother. "Cuddle me tight, mumsle," she commanded as if she could not get enough of the enveloping mo ther love. iJ How "gladly Lillian obeyed her.
