The men visited the saloons, while tht women waited on the streets. Most of the women were dressed much like gypsies, with their colored shawls ana scarfs. Some carried large, beaded shopping bags that appeared empty. On their feet they wore elk skin moc- casins. The men are lazy. The only work they will do is fishing, selling their catches to canneries. At one of these canneries we learned that sal- mon packing must be done by Chinese, for they, seemingly, are the only peo- From West Coast ee In Deep Water Of Salt Lake about with my hands.

SWARTZ Seattle is the most unusual city in America, young—large and busy—but clean. It is unique in having a large port on its Western side, while on its Eastern is a large lake, surrounded by residences and beautiful gardens. Through them a water way passes, on which is a canal, the largest, next to Panama, in America. On this water- way is another lake that is surrounded by beautiful homes. It’s shores are lined with parks and bathing beaches and roses grow there to tremendous size, for the temperature averages throughout the year from 41 degrees to 61 degrees. “The city is otherwise interesting in that it owns its own power, electric transit lines and water supply. It also has a public market that covers sev- eral blocks, in which can be purchased choice meat, fruit, vegetables and fish at half the Eastern price. From Seattle we went to Tacoma, a city, like Seattle, built on the hills. At Olympus we saw the capitol buildings of Washington and pretty they are, though not so impressive as ours at Harrisburg. We continued South to Portland, Oregon, the Ciey of Roses, and homes, a city spreading out over a high, flat area. It was rather inter- esting for me to learn that Portland: buys most from the government, most of the electric power that is generated at the Bonneville Dam, and that the average electric bill per month, includ- ing an electric range, is but $4 per month. Quite different than ours, when our light bills alone equal that charge. After being advised that the scenery was much better along the Columpia River than going down through Ore- gon and Upper California we started east along the river. This route winds along the course of the river. At most times we were high above, riding along the side of the Cascade Range, through which the river had cleared its way. Along the other side of the road we passed many high falls, one that was over 600 feet high. Xach varied In height amd breadth, but all fell from great heights. Oregon has established state parks about the falls, thus preserving the natural beauty of the places. Salmon Climb Ladder The Bonneville Dam was interesting, especially the methods used to protect the salmon runs by ingenuously build- ing ladders for the fish. These ladders are arranged in a series of steps along the sides of the dam. Fortunately, the salmon have found the ladders, so their runs have not been hinderea, One Saturday night we spent at The Dalles in Oregon. This is a small tow, which would have been uninteresting except that the Indians came in to spend Saturday night in town. As it grown. ple immune to salmon poisoning, which develops on the arms and hands of white people. East of the Dalles we | crossed a large area of uncultivated land on which thousands of wild hors- es still roam. Idaho has large irrigation systems that make their desert lands fruitfuf. Seen from afar, some of their small communities with trees, in otherwise treeless wastes, appear as cases. Mel- ons and potatoes are abundantly T think I shall never forget the taste of one of those luscious Iced melons after a hot desert drive. Utah, Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake were next. Seventy-one per cent of the population of Utah is Mor- mon. I wondered what chance a non- Mormon would have in that State. As I wanted to swim in the great Salt Lake, which is 179% saltier than the Atlantic Ocean, we drove out to Sal- tair (9 miles from Salt Lake City) where we found an excellent beach. And what a thrill. Walks On The Water Since no life grows in the Lake there were no weeds to slip on, no fish to nibble at our legs and no crabs to nip our toes. What comfort to walk on sand without pebbles, hard, smooth sand. Nancy, hurriedly dressed for swimming, was soon into the water and when I first saw her I feared she was out too far. She kept calling to me while I was still on the beach to come out. I soon found I had nothing to fear concerning her safety, for after wading up to my arm pits in the water I could no longer keep my feet on the ground. I was tilted and found myself floating on the surface. T then tried to swim, but my floating thighs kept my feet too high above the water. I found that the most comfortable position was to cross my legs and sit in the water paddling Double Screen Cone Cleaned LEHIGH VALLEY THE BEST BY TEST ® Prompt Delivery ® Call Dallas 17 . L.
