Doctor Tells Of “Walking”
CROSS GREAT DIVIDE
(This is the third installment of
was late summer, we found Indians
colored almost as black as negroes.
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-

DR. G. K. 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,

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
