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. A,
I. supposo right now ns I write
this, Is your busy time, picking
tho pears and apples. How Is the.
crop this year? And also the mar
ket? Will you do as well this year
us Inst? 1 hopo so and even hot
ter, too.
How does tho old town look on
Suturdays? As busy as ever anil
with tho Qrocoterla crowded ond
fat Bill Qates sitting in his of
fice? "t
As I travel nround I don't loso
nny of my belief that tho Hogue
Hlver valley Is a greut placo to
live and 1 hopo to return some
day. You can glvo this to the
Mull-Tribune If you want to ond
then send mo Art Perry's caustic
comment in Smudgo Pot! I miss
reading "Smudgo Pot," there's
nothing liko It down here.
I hope you both are In excel
lent health und spirits, nnd not
working In the orchard too hard,

have. Send my best regards to

FOR EVERY SIX
With motor bus operations dG"
vol oped' to tho-extent that there
Is one bus to every six miles of
paved highway In the United States
operators are preparing to con
sider a rigid code of ethics In an
effort to promote added safety In
this field . of transportation, says
the National Association of Mo
tor Hus Operators, afflllted with
tho American Automobile associa
tion. 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. Kven a few minutes de
lay has an important effect in
tearing up schedules, which are
vital to successful transportation
agencies.
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. Motor bus
operators are advocating control
by statr commissions with right
of appeal to the interstate com
merce commission.
It is believed that congress will
act on the needs for federal reg
ulation of motor buses tit the
regu la r session 1 n Decern her a nd
operators are prepared to have
definite recommendations to make
to committees of the house nnd
seni.te.
