Esther Ross, living in Omaha, Nebraska, for years, said, *Td like to go to the western coset.” She did such sewing as she could And to do but, handicapped by inability to get about much and frequent illness, de pleted strength resulting from five operations, and ovet-weight, thia “de- pression” seriously “depressed” her little hoard. Patrons began doing their own sewing. Many others began to solicit sewing. Funds dwindled. Again she «aid, “I’d like to go to Coquille, Ore gon, on the Pacific coast, where an aunt could help me some, and per haps my health would improve.” She said again, “I think I can.” She packed her most necessary be- longings into a suitcase and carry ing bag and made her crippled feet carry not only their hsavy iron har ness, but her 275 lbs. weight and the suit cases, to the first place where she might ask a “lift” of a few miles. Many hundreds of times did she re peat pleasantly that request during the next weeks and many and varied were her experiences, She met with some discourtesy and rudeness but she met with a very great deal of kindness. Usually she paused by the wayside where the last driver left her, until she could induce another car to stop and pick her up. Some days the “lift” waa only a few miles during a long, hot day, some one or two hundred miles. Many became interested questioned her. Es pecially did the wee Boston bull pup which is to grow into a fine pedigreed mother of many pups to be sold to help fill the flat purse of the fat lady, attract attention, invited questions, and often a quarter, a half dollar, possibly more was left as a tribute of kindly interest and help. . Mrs. Ross was six weeks reaching her destination, whioh b the home of her aunt, Mrs. Haskins, of Coquille. She spent many a night trying to in duce some station chair or bench to accommodate itself to her size and weight. She at times was pretty hungry. She stayed three tong nights out-doors, once in the lonely desert with only the pup and a sage-brush fire. Three nights she was invited to a comfortable bed. But she has accomplished the seem ingly impossible—a journey she never had money enough to take—she began with 50c in her pocketbook; she reached here with about the same amount, plus a blanket and a coat. She now is in Mrs. Haskins’ home, hoping for many demands upon her drem-making ability and orders for little future pups. * * a Probate Coart Items Leland Barklaw, of Myrtle Point, was hurt Friday named as administra tor of the 12760 estate left by his father, John Wesley Barklow, who died May 80.
