As Boon as we presented our ticket we were taken into a small room and seated with a group of well dressed people. "Ouarria In the Vatican are very colorful. First you paas the Swiss, guards, whose costumes were tie signed by Michael Angelo and are like a medieval courtiers costume but In many colors. They wear big dark berets for tarns. The gendarmes were In white uniforms and wore big bearskin shakos. Thpo were htff handsome men. "In the room where we waited there were eight Palatine guards In blue and cerise uniforms.

SANTA GLAUS GREETS J0URNALEXPEDIT10N (Continued from page 1) MOVE INTO APARTMENTS Turner Mr. and Mrs. Walter Harris of Portland, have taken aoartments in the Baker apart ments In Turner and are located for the winter. Harris Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Harris of Tur 'nor, and a brother of Joe Harris also of Turner, otners occupying the Baker apartments are Mrs. Mal lrda Chambers and granddaughter, Reva Porter, and Mr. and Mrs. James Noah and family, who are managing the apartments. hand for silence. "First I was called upon to say that you were from Sa lem and were on an expedition lor the Capital Journal. "That seemed to please Santa. He asked how many persons were In your party. I tola him then he seemed to be relieved, and asked bow you fared with the wolves the night he used his magic lights on them and scored the beasts away. I assured Santa that you were grateful to him for saving your lives. He also mentioned that he noticed you were batMing with Layluk, the North Wind one nignt, ana ne was greatly elated that the monster was not successful In any. 4s you Dacs or hurting you. What Santa was moat interested In. of course, was and the attempt of the Capital the little boys and girls In Salem Journal to assist Santa In making all the boys and girls of Salem hap. py. I told him you had many let ters for him and that were he to open his great castle gates, you would have a full report to make. "I gave your name Captain, and he stated that he had heard of you. Of course Santa stated he had never received a human being In his castle, but that In this case he would make arrangements to see you ana to make your stay a pleasant one. He sends a special starting on the expedition that she might have tea with Santa Claus. Santa Claus Is such a kind-hearted man that I would not be surprised If you tell him how much the children in Sa-' lem love him that he will even al low you to take pictures of him In his castle. Now. to my mind that Is saying a lot. but when I mentioned It, he said he would consider it and let you know later." You can Imagine how delighted we all were to hear that the great man would actually welcome us into his castle. "Did you tell Santa," I asked Jim mle Aide, "that we want to give him all the names of the boys and girls who read the Capital Journal?" I did," the dwarf replied, "but that was not needed for Santa Claus al ready knows their names and has been keeping a clos2 check on their behavior. Most boys and girls in Salem he says will receive gifts and a few who have disobeyed their par ents will be given a few more days to overcome their black marks. I know you will find Santa a great man," Jlmmle Aide continued, "for in all the world there Is only one Santa Claus." , , : I have soeclal Instructions how we are to approach the palace and I will act as your guide." 'You are so very kind and con siderate, Jlmmle Aide, Mrs. K.

"Just wart untd you meet Santa Claus and bis fairy castle, bis great workshop, and all the gnomes and fairies. You may have been all over the world from one sea to another. Captain, but you have never seen anything untu you see the greatest gift shop In the world. You see Santa Is the most generous man In all the world, his gloves are tipped with charity and when he soars over the world Christ mas eve there will be showers of gifts." You may Imagine It did not take us very long to break camp, hitch up our reindeer, who seemed eager to be off, for the last dash to the castle of Santa Claus. We were In high spirits and con fident that the good old Saint would accord us a royal welcome. Mrs. K. Invited Jimmie Aide to sit on the sleigh beside her, but with a hop and skip he was up on the back of Trouncer, or leader. The reindeer gave a snort, shook his antlers, and humped up his back, and then started to bolt lor a ais tant peak. However, we soon calmed Trouncer and the teams settled down to a steady gallop, but every now and then Jimmie Aide, perched high on the deer's back, would point ou the direction and show us the nearest route' to North Polevllle without losing any time. The deer seemed to know they were nearlng the end of their Jour ney and began to lengthen their stride. Just as boys do when they know dinner is ready and a steaming hot mince pie Is waiting for them at home. Guided by Jlmmle, the dwarf, we came to a small hill or slight rise In the vast plain. Suddenly, Just at the crest of the hill, he pulled hard on the reins and called "whoa" to the reindeer. For the first time In the history of man human beings were gazing upon the kingdom of Santa Claus. Miles ahead lay a beautiful tundra and In the center of the plain there stood a glisten ing palace. The palace raised Its steeples almost as high as the tower- lng mountains to the right and left as the Northern Lights shone upon the Ice, myriads of beautiful colors were reflected like sparkling gems. The castle at long range was awe some and Insntrlnx. Never be to re In all my travels over the world have I witnessed such a signt. Biros, snow-white, soared overhead, and out to the left of the castle stretch ing as far as eye could see were millions of dots, reindeer that were grazing In herds. Not only ourselves but even the Eskimos were almost overcome with Joy. "Look!" Mrs. K. pointed, "see the beautiful .castle and the reindeer, and all this great mass of snow and tee, Isn't it a beautiful sight? How sorry I am that every little boy and girl who reads the Capital journal cannot be here to share this great pleasure." We must take some mo tion pictures of this rery spot so that we can take them to Salem to be hown before Christmas. Won derful, marvelous! Imagine us stand ing here at the outer edge of the greatest gift giving territory In all the world. God surely has been good to Santa Claus." Pa-tu-nuk and KItsenna, our Es kimo friends, were equally as en thusiastic, but as Is known the lit tle brown men are not disposed to shout and make merry in happy mo ments as we white people do. While we were all standing marveling at the sights before us, Jlmmle Aide shouted "Let's be off," and he pick ed up the reins and called to Troun cer. The reindeer started with a bolt and soon our party was within hail ing distance of Santa's ice palace. Trouncer and the other reindeer streaked toward the castle. Little Jlmmle Aide certainly needed all his strength to keep upon Troun cer's back. Coming closer to the castle we saw hundreds of little gnomes standing on the parapets an dthe great bal cony around too sides of the castle. They were waving and cheering and we heard their voices above the clattering of the reindeer hoofs. We saw one gnome slide down a great icicle and run around the castle to the front gates and then there was an exciting scene as the gnomes made way for a great fur-clad fig ure, one that towered high above the dwarfs, to approach the railing of the balcony. The tall figure clap ped his hands and the gnomes stood KILLER DOGS TO BE HUNTED Possibility of the county dog tax collector becoming trainer for a county coon dog loomed up with return of Paul Marnarch from Yamhill county where be has been collecting back dog taxes for that county. Earlier in the season Mar narch collect? 1 dog taxes for Mar lon county. Over there he necountered a coon dog at work chasing down the trail of sheep killing dogs and says the experiments made proved highly successful. The trained coon dogs are owned and handled by a man at Sheridan. A number of times they were put under leash on the trails of dogs which had done heavy damage to sheep bands and every time the guilty offender was tracked down. The county spends several thous and dollars a year paying claims for sheen and other stock killed or maimed by dogs, the money for payment coming from aog tax u censes. Under the law If the own er of the offending dog can be lo cated he may be made liable for the damages and the offending dog may b killed. It was pointed out that a coon dog that could track sheep killing doga to their later might be made a big money saver in the course of a year. The county court, however, la not convinced that It should buy any coon dogs. at attention as if they were soldiers. The fact above the fur suit was smiling and It flashed a set. of white teeth from behind a mass of whis kers. "Whoa, Trouncer, whoa," Jlm mle pulled the reindeer to a halt before the great doors of the Ice castle and I lifted my fur cap to the figure above me. "Welcome. Captain and party,' great voice roared. "You now are In the kingdom of Santa Claus. "I am going to give you the first handshake that ever was given to mortal man in my home, come In.' We Jumped from our sleighs, ran up the castle steps and soon shook hands with the great man whom we had traveled so many miles to see. Tomorrow A day In Santa's Castle.
