When there is such phenomenon
as Mr. Rilea in existence, chances
are that his identity and location
will be discovered by somebody's
"nose for news.” So, sure enough,
it was Edward M. Miller, automobile
editor of the Portland Oregonian,
who found out all about M». Rilea,
and determined that if an automob'le
could be gotten to Agness Mr. Rilea
should be induced to take a ride.
Now, this matter of getting to
Agness in itself had never before been
accompliidied in company with a
modern automobile. So Mr. Miller
went into conference with a friend,
Frank Perkins, who knew something
of the difficulties of traversing
Northern Oregon, and who knew a
lot of Portland automobile men, who
would be interested in the venture.
Perkins jumped at a chance to
traverse the rushing Rogue river, and
immediately got in touch with zone
officials of the Chevrolet Motor Com
pany. He was explicit in outlining the
dingers of getting up the Rogue to
.Agness. There were rapids, he said,
and no really adequate ferry.
Hazard* or no hazards, the offici
als decided, there never had been n
road too precarious for a Chevrolet.
So it came about that on a morning
in late September, Miller and Perkins
set forth in a brand new Chevrolet
roadster for the' Rouge and Agness.
The next morning after a ferry
ride across the northern slip of the
Rouge, followed by & one mile drive
to Gold Beach, the travellers found
themselves at the gateway to their
ndventure. They were introduced to
Frank Lowery, the champion boat
man of the Rogue, and with him
studied the chances of loading a
Chevrolet roadster on n motor boat
26 feet Jong and six feet wide. Both
the city chaps were apprehensive; but
not so the bland Mr. Lowery.
Then followed a task by no means
easy. With the aid of six men, planks
were laid out leading from the br nk
to the boat. When the car was driven
on, the front wheels dropped until
the hub caps jested on the boat sides.
Next the hind wheels were taken off
and brake band*, permitted to rest on
the prow. Would the boat run, now?
1 And. if it did, would the car keep its
balance? Nothing worried Mr. Low.

Sunday morning at 9 a. m., the
Chevrolet, its rear wheels and bump
ers restored, had found the end of its
quest. It *toi0 resplendent before
the postoffice at Rattlesnake avenue
and Cougar street in Agness, and the
genial gray haired Mr. Rilea was
walking down his front steps to greet
his visitors.
As wo have said, there is nothing
backward about Mr. Rilea. First, he
listened to Mr. Perkins tell of the rid.
ing virtues of the Chevrolet and then
he asked to look under the hood. Five
minutes had not passed Wore Mr.
Rilea with Mr. Perkins at the wheel
was riding up the length of Rattle
snake avenue at the rate of 15 miles
an hour. The avenue is really only
a long lane. The speedometer meas
ured it at .3 of a mile. But it was
long enough to get all of Agness out
to see the sight of their postmaster
riding over the road, his hands hold
ing on tight to the sides of the roads
ter, while children ran back into their
houses, screaming. -
So it was that one of America’s
postmasters, who had not ridden in
an automobile, got his first ride. And
now the modernization of Rilea is
going to go a step further. “I’m going
down to Portland with mother on
these days,” he said, addressing his
friends before their departure, “and
see my first movie.”

The funny thing about it was that
the things they had been whispering
was not as bad as the things they had
been saying out loud. So they quit
whispering and started saying worse
things at the top of their voices.
