NELLE WOMACK HINES emomber—you can laugh at all you want to in front of my face—but not behind my back. 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. cry. Soon the party was “put-put-put- ting" up one of the most dangerous and beautiful streams in the North- 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.” WILL ROGERS SAYS— Well, the Campaign is degenerat ing into just what I thought it would. | It statred out to be honorable. It j was a noble experiment but i: just j dider.t bring home any soup bones. At first we was all hearing so many whisper* that it began to look like everybody that spoke to you had lost i their voice. We layed it to bad colds : for a while, then we discovered that everybody couldcnt have Phenomonia at once. 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. Oh, it’s a Gentleman’s game??? Everybody is of a “high type”—till the time comes when there U some- thing worth while to be little over* then they revert to type. But through all this our old Anti Bunk Party has maintained its dig. nity. As the candidate, I am not run. ning about the country shouting in everybody’s ear, “a H I said so ably i n my acceptance speech.” We dident say anything in our « c . ceptance speech. We dident even ac cept and at that we said more than they did. They can always bring up their acceptance speech, for that i# as far back as they want their record looked into while the campaign is go. ing on. WILL ROGERS.
