( Clyde Higgins, Formerly With Copco, -Writes of South American Life and Sights Clyde lllKglna, former California Oregon Power company aide, writes to 'Mr. and Mrs.' Lyle C. J''lnher of Sams Valley, of his life nnd exjterlences In South America, -ait follows: ; . . Banta Fo, Aug. 25, 1929. Dear Lyle and Mrs. Flshur: . Did you think by this time that I had completely forgotten my old haven't by a long ways, but havo been on the go so much, and so unsettled since arriving in Argen . Una that, It has been difficult to writ to anyone. I have, been travT eling around from one place to nnother, nnd back and forth, ever sinco landing and huvo not yet found a permanent place to live. It Is Just one hotel after another living out .of a: suitcase and hand bag packing up,, going some other place, unpacking and staying a while and then repeating the pro cess. I have been hero In Santa Fe now for a little over two weeks which Is the longest In any ono place yet. Hantu Fo Is a town or city of about 120,000 popula tion and is some 300 mllos north of Buenos Aires, which Is my headguurters. This hotel is a nice one, the city not bad, and plenty of work to be done up hero, so don't mind staying. I'll be here a few days longer I guess, and then will go back to Buenos Aires. Perhaps you will be Interested in some of the high spots of my trip. Tho folks are living in Tom- pie Row, near Los Angeles, and went down a few days uhend of me.. I stopped over In Snn Fran cisco, a day to get my passport and clean up some other matters but did not have timo to get In touch with Mill. I went on down to Los Angeles and stayed a dny for a final farewell with the folks . nnd lllunche and then left for New York.. I was In New Yurk a week before sailing and since everything was so new to mo there I enjoyed the stay., Ovor the Mem orial day holiday, 1 went up to Boston to. visit with relutlves up there whom I had heard much about- but hod never seen. I nluft discovered I had a married cousin right In New York, so went to ep him and his wlfo alBo. A'good bit. of my time In New York was spent at, tho office but I man aged to , see some of the sights nnd to do some shopping. , ,We sailed from New York on June X on the Munsun Lino steam er. Western World. It's a good sized boat , and rides very stead ily and as wo didn't havo uny very rough weather I was not the least bit seasick at any time. I, enjoyed the trip quite a lot. playing games, deck tennis, shuf fleboard, etc, during the duy nnd dancing and playing curds In tho evening. I had lots of things to read, but couldn't seem to find any time for . reading ulthough Mr. Shopn'rd. " and l"d study Homo Spanish. It seemed most of our time was taken up with eating and sleeping. We would sleep' luto In tho morning, havo Bomo break fast,, and then, before wo know It, It was time fur lunch, This tnenl usually, took ah hour or so, making It two o'clock or later be fore it was ovor. Then a turn tirbund the deck, a. game or two, nd maybe a nap and It seemed It was time to got ready for din ner.. at 7 o'clock. A little dancing and, cards after dinner and It was time for honest hicks from Ore gon, to be In bed. So that was about tho dully program rather a laisy life. When we crossed 1ho equator they put on quite an elaborate King Neptune's Court corcmuny and all the pussengers who ' had not been across before wero in itiated Into tho mysteries of Nep tune's kingdom under the wuvos. We were plastered with soap, und flour and wator paste, mado to eat "worms" and all the tricks ami devices of Initiations, and fin ally thrown. Into (ho swimming pool to got washed off. King Nep tune with, his court had boarded the ship as wo crossed the lino, looked on nnd gave tho orders. A raw. egg shumpoo was also a fav- orlte order. The' ladles wore treat ed a little mora gently they had to sing a song, do a dance or some thing similar. It was good fun ana tnen all tho nephyto were given a beautiful printed certifi cate of membership so the next time we cross tho lino wo can be among tho ones putting on the snow. After 12 days of continuous, uu lirokon steaming we arrived at Hlo do Janeiro, l'aul McKcc, former Copco general manager, whom you remember Is now In Hlo, met us at tho dook with his car and showed us tho town. Ho had a luncheon for us at tho Olorla lintel with about SO members of his or ganisation present, for us to meet them, and then - In the evening had us to dinner at his house. WKh, his oar we saw n lot of the sights which wo otherwise might not have seen. It certainly made It fine (o have a friend In a strunge city. The pictures and reports of tho beauties of the city of Kin and the harbor aro not ex aggerated. It Is as fully beaut I- i ful as they all any It Is. The semi tropical vegotation, the parks, the hills and the mountains of sheer rock sticking up out of the water 111 the harbor make a scene that can't be adequately described. The main avenue with Its trees and ' parking In tho center and Its In laid Mosaic sidewalks Is certain ly a beautiful sight, We stayed In Hlo tho entire day, leaving there about t In (he evening. , The next morning we arrived at Santos, which Is a big world port from, which 00 to aoventy per cent of the world's supply of coffee Is shipped. Tho city Itself Is not much of a place It Is low and hot and full of disease. About Q miles back . from tho coast though, and upon a plateau about lf00 to 2000 feet high is the real city for which Santos la the port. This city Is Sao Paulo and Is a good Used, modern and progres sive, city which Is growing rap. Idly.. We went up to Sao Touln nnd stayed over night there, re-1 turning to Santos late In the af- ! ternoon of the next . day. The grades up to this plateau which 1 mentioned are so steep that tho railway train Is divided in sec tions and these sections aro for miles- pulled up by cables. When the top is reuched theso sections are joined again and the train runs on into Sao Puulu. Hero, JuKt outsldo the city we saw tho world famous snake farm where they keep poisonous snakes and extract the polKon from them to make nnti-snake bite serum. Wo returned to Santos by automobile, so saw different soenery from; that going. up on the train. 'The trip was very muchc worth while.' Our next port was Montevideo, Uruguay, but duo to quarantine restrictions ngalnHt yellow fover in Brazil we couldn't go ushore. From here It Is. only an . overnight trip to HuenoH. Aires but duo to these soma quarantine regulations, wo couldn't go ushore at Ji. A., until we hud luln out In tho harbor for three days. It was a long wait and everyone was getting tired of tho bout by this time. Finally we went ashore tlio night of June 21, three weeks from tho tlmo we left New York. It wns rather a lengthy voyage. ; Buenos Aires Is finite a city but entirely different from Hlo. It Is not nearly as beautiful, It Is ab solutely flat nnd level and bus none of tho wgelutlon or harbor scenery that Hlo has. However I think the peoplo hero nro of a better class there are only a few ! negroes and Indians, nnd these lat ter are thick 111 Hlo. Practically everyono 'wears shoes nnd stock ings here which Is not the case in Rio. Buenos Aires has Homo beuutlful parks and lots of them lou, and pretty streets and drives, but they are all mun-made while RIo'h beauty Is largely natural. There are some fine stores anil buildings here too. The streets and side walks are narrow and It is quite a Job to walk from place to place you are always bumping Into someone or dodging traffic half tho time you walk out In the street, there Is no room on the sidewalk, In fact one streot, Flor ida, on which tho nlco stoics nro located, Ih cloned from 4 to 8 every day to traffic und given over to pedestrians only. About 0:30 In the evening tills whole street Is Jammed from wall to wiill with peoplo. I stnyod In 11. A. nbnut a week and then started traveling and ns I mentioned beforo, huvo been on tho go ever slnco It seems. I have been back to H. A. a couple of times but It doesn't seem as though I have spent much time there. I don't mind seeing some of these outsldo towns though as it gives mo a chance to see what Argen tina Is like outsldo of 11.

The estimate of the national mo toring body as to the number of buses In proportion to the mile age of paved highways Is based on tho fact that there are more than 100,000 motor buses In op eration today and around 050, 000 miles of paved Toads. With tho national loss from con gestion, traffic delays now esti mated at considerably over $2, 000,000,000 a year, it can easily be seen that It is a serimuj prob lem confronting motor bus oper ators.

At the approaching meeting, the directors of the national associa tion will take steps toward secur ing legislation for control of In terstate bus operations.
