Writes Of Journey
Across Continent
Mrs. Bell Finishes Iowa Visit and
Travels Homeward on Oriental
Limited.
(On Oriental Limited train of Great
Northern betwesn Havre, Mont.,
and Spokane. Nov. 7, 1908, 4:30
p. ra.)
My journey Is nearing its end. I
think I wrote you last from Boone,
where 1 was then enjoying a very
pleasant visit with my school friend,
.Mrs. Dora Farrow. She Is a very
.loted and earnest worker In the tem
perance cause. When I last saw her
prior to this visit she was at ' the
Jlrst Presbyterian church In Port
and, Oregon, attending the National
Suffrage convention, the year of the
exposition, she being a delegate from
Boone county, Iowa, to that and also
to the W. C. T. U. convention. Her
husband, Alex Farrow, is mayor of
the city, and was elected to that
office although well known to be a
strict temperance worker and a
mayor who would use his Influence
and best efforts to enforce the laws
against 'the liquor traffic. They
seemed to be a devoted and model
couple.
While in Boone I accompanied Mrs.
Farrow to the M. E. church to ser
vices. We were ushered to our seats
by her husband, the honorable mayor
As Samantha Allen would have ex
pressed It, "I never let on but what
it was an every Sunday occurrence
to have a mayor act as usher," tho'
I later heard Dora ask him "how
that happened," and he asid the
usher was absent and somebody
asked him to act. Here, too, I en
Joyed the novel treat or hearing a
Sunday school song led by a whist
ler accompanied by a pipe organ,
and men, women, girls and boys,
either whistling or singing, as they
felt disposed. I thought how nice
this was to give children and peo
ple who had no voices for singing,
yet had music In their make-up, a
chgnpe to join in the worship in that
way. Why, I can hardly remember
when I could not whistle and would
in spite of having the old silly say
ing about a "whistling girl and a
crowing hen" flung at roe, and this
same Brother Pursel, with whom and
my sister I took this lovely trip, say
ing "Let hr alone, I like to hear
her whistle."'
Mr. and Mrs, Pursel tl;graphed
from Neola, Iowa, on the 4th
that they would Pass Ft. Dodge at
11:50 a. m. of $h$ Eth. Owing to a
mjstake by operator in making it
read 50 instead of 5th, I inferred
they meant U50 a. m. of "the 4th.
It was already 10:80 ef fhat day
when I received it, but I thought
they would wait when they found no
word from me at the depot. I
caught ihn next interurban at 1 p.
m. for Ft. Dodgg. On this trip I
crossed over the Des Mglnes river,
the longest double track viaduct In
Dodge at 3 P. m. No word from
them at any depot. I went to the
Northwestern telegraph operator and

had hini confirm the message and
found it to mean the 5th. Then I
found a directory and phoned to a
niece of Mr. Pursel on a chance that
it was she; was cordially invited
there and a bus sent for me. 1
spent the time until 11:15 next day
very pleasantly with the family of my
brother-in-law's deceased brother. He
(Mr. Pursel) having never met the
widow and children and being
anxious to get some word, and not
knowing that the nephew whom he
had met lived there, had not plan
ned to visit here, and the relatives
were much disappointed. However,
the nephew and wife and his two
young sisters (one a telephone girl,
one a teacher) went with me to the
train and at least had the pleasure
of a short visit. We arrived in St.
Paul about 8:30 p. m. and as we
could not get a fast train out before
10:15 and as we could make time by
waiting we went to the .Union hotel
near the Union depot for the night.
On the morning of the 6th we put
in about an hour seeing the capital
city of Minnesota; then we stepped
aboard the Orential Limited enroute
for he West.
As winter Is coming on I wish to
have more of a visit with my sis
ter, Mrs, J. B. Thomson of Union,
Oregon, and her family, also with
my brother, Ed McComas and fam
ily, now of Elgin, Oregon, and get
back to my hometead "stead of a
home" in Wallowa county, I cut out
Helena but the folks stopped off at
Havre, Mont., at 1:58 p. m. today,
bound to keep a promise to rela
tives to vlist them, and so I am
proceeding on my way via Spokane
and Pendleton for Union, Oregon.
The . weather is lovely for this
time of year, tho' the storm win
dows are in this train and it has
seemed atiffling at times, but we are
in the foothills of the Rockies tonight
for dusk is falling now and the
air grows chilly.
Lion Hotel, Spokane, Wash., Nov.
14. I think this will surely be the
las.t of my series of letters, still I
am quite a ways frqm my hqme in
Wallowa cqunty ytft.
I arrived here Sunday morning
about 8 a. m. Had myself and bag
gage transferred to the O. R. & N.
depot and found there would be no
train toward Pendleton until 4 p. m.
so as it was raining and I had so
long to wait I had a bus to take me
to the home of Mrs. L. J. Childs
whose son married a niece of mine,
and at whose home my young
nephew, who died last November,
was taken ill. I was somewhat ac
quainted wtl the lftdy, having called
on her last fall n cqmpany wth the
young nephew and his -sister. Mrs.
Childs informed me that my name
sake niece, Mrs. Alice McComas
Parker, who recently married Dr.
Parker, government pltysjejan at Mar
cus, Wash., was now at that place
instead of, as I had thought, being
on her homestead near Syrarep. 1
phoned there, found such to be the
case and decided to visit her. On
Sunday evening I attended an Ep
wqrth League, meeting with Mrs.
ChfMs and qn Munday at 10:30 a.
m., stepped aboard a car of the S.
F. & N. and at 2:45 p. m. was met
at the depot in Marcus by the bride
and groom qf less than six months,
my nephew and niece, Dr. and Mrs.
T. F. Parker. Ths gentleman, by
the way, Is a classmate of the Dr. I.
U. Temple quite well known in Wal
lowa county, also of Dr. Phy of Hot
Lake sanatarlum.
I fqiipd this yo-ing couple cq.liy
settled in light housekeeping rooms
in the Hotel Marcus, and learned
that her sister Mae was in such poor
health that she and the mother, who
were up n the Qkanqgan cquntry,
might go south for the winter. When
the noon train came from the north
on Tuedsay It brought a very wel
come surprise to us all in that it
brought us, these (wq ladies whom i
wished but had not expected tJ
meet. Since I parted with my sister-in-law
eleven years ago she has yield
ed up her husband, and their only
sqn tq the grm reaper, Death,
We had a lovely visit of ssveral
days together, and I was delighted
with the beautiful Colvllle valley.
Marcus tho' only a small place, sit
uated qn the bunk qf the Oqlumbla,
has beautful scenery.
Today Mae and I came on the
early morning train hoping by watch
ing the O. R. & N. trains to catch,
her uncle and aunt, Mr, and Mrs,. s
A. Pursel, as they pass through.
We have rooms at Lion hotel and ex
