Writes Of Journey Across Continent Mrs. Bell Finishes Iowa Visit and Travels Homeward on Oriental Limited. (On Oriental Limited train of Great Northern betwesn Havre, Mont., and Spokane. Nov. 7, 1908, 4:30 p. ra.) My journey Is nearing its end. I think I wrote you last from Boone, where 1 was then enjoying a very pleasant visit with my school friend, .Mrs. Dora Farrow. She Is a very .loted and earnest worker In the tem perance cause. When I last saw her prior to this visit she was at ' the Jlrst Presbyterian church In Port and, Oregon, attending the National Suffrage convention, the year of the exposition, she being a delegate from Boone county, Iowa, to that and also to the W. C. T. U. convention. Her husband, Alex Farrow, is mayor of the city, and was elected to that office although well known to be a strict temperance worker and a mayor who would use his Influence and best efforts to enforce the laws against 'the liquor traffic. They seemed to be a devoted and model couple. While in Boone I accompanied Mrs. Farrow to the M. E. church to ser vices. We were ushered to our seats by her husband, the honorable mayor As Samantha Allen would have ex pressed It, "I never let on but what it was an every Sunday occurrence to have a mayor act as usher," tho' I later heard Dora ask him "how that happened," and he asid the usher was absent and somebody asked him to act. Here, too, I en Joyed the novel treat or hearing a Sunday school song led by a whist ler accompanied by a pipe organ, and men, women, girls and boys, either whistling or singing, as they felt disposed. I thought how nice this was to give children and peo ple who had no voices for singing, yet had music In their make-up, a chgnpe to join in the worship in that way. Why, I can hardly remember when I could not whistle and would in spite of having the old silly say ing about a "whistling girl and a crowing hen" flung at roe, and this same Brother Pursel, with whom and my sister I took this lovely trip, say ing "Let hr alone, I like to hear her whistle."' Mr. and Mrs, Pursel tl;graphed from Neola, Iowa, on the 4th that they would Pass Ft. Dodge at 11:50 a. m. of $h$ Eth. Owing to a mjstake by operator in making it read 50 instead of 5th, I inferred they meant U50 a. m. of "the 4th. It was already 10:80 ef fhat day when I received it, but I thought they would wait when they found no word from me at the depot. I caught ihn next interurban at 1 p. m. for Ft. Dodgg. On this trip I crossed over the Des Mglnes river, the longest double track viaduct In Dodge at 3 P. m. No word from them at any depot. I went to the Northwestern telegraph operator and FIRE INSURANCE PLATE GLASS INS. STOCK INSURANCE Oregon. THE HARNESS AND SADDLEMAN " - 'r-'-". ENTERPRISE, OREGON had hini confirm the message and found it to mean the 5th. Then I found a directory and phoned to a niece of Mr. Pursel on a chance that it was she; was cordially invited there and a bus sent for me. 1 spent the time until 11:15 next day very pleasantly with the family of my brother-in-law's deceased brother. He (Mr. Pursel) having never met the widow and children and being anxious to get some word, and not knowing that the nephew whom he had met lived there, had not plan ned to visit here, and the relatives were much disappointed. However, the nephew and wife and his two young sisters (one a telephone girl, one a teacher) went with me to the train and at least had the pleasure of a short visit. We arrived in St. Paul about 8:30 p. m. and as we could not get a fast train out before 10:15 and as we could make time by waiting we went to the .Union hotel near the Union depot for the night. On the morning of the 6th we put in about an hour seeing the capital city of Minnesota; then we stepped aboard the Orential Limited enroute for he West. As winter Is coming on I wish to have more of a visit with my sis ter, Mrs, J. B. Thomson of Union, Oregon, and her family, also with my brother, Ed McComas and fam ily, now of Elgin, Oregon, and get back to my hometead "stead of a home" in Wallowa county, I cut out Helena but the folks stopped off at Havre, Mont., at 1:58 p. m. today, bound to keep a promise to rela tives to vlist them, and so I am proceeding on my way via Spokane and Pendleton for Union, Oregon. The . weather is lovely for this time of year, tho' the storm win dows are in this train and it has seemed atiffling at times, but we are in the foothills of the Rockies tonight for dusk is falling now and the air grows chilly. Lion Hotel, Spokane, Wash., Nov. 14. I think this will surely be the las.t of my series of letters, still I am quite a ways frqm my hqme in Wallowa cqunty ytft. I arrived here Sunday morning about 8 a. m. Had myself and bag gage transferred to the O. R. & N. depot and found there would be no train toward Pendleton until 4 p. m. so as it was raining and I had so long to wait I had a bus to take me to the home of Mrs. L. J. Childs whose son married a niece of mine, and at whose home my young nephew, who died last November, was taken ill. I was somewhat ac quainted wtl the lftdy, having called on her last fall n cqmpany wth the young nephew and his -sister. Mrs. Childs informed me that my name sake niece, Mrs. Alice McComas Parker, who recently married Dr. Parker, government pltysjejan at Mar cus, Wash., was now at that place instead of, as I had thought, being on her homestead near Syrarep. 1 phoned there, found such to be the case and decided to visit her. On Sunday evening I attended an Ep wqrth League, meeting with Mrs. ChfMs and qn Munday at 10:30 a. m., stepped aboard a car of the S. F. & N. and at 2:45 p. m. was met at the depot in Marcus by the bride and groom qf less than six months, my nephew and niece, Dr. and Mrs. T. F. Parker. Ths gentleman, by the way, Is a classmate of the Dr. I. U. Temple quite well known in Wal lowa county, also of Dr. Phy of Hot Lake sanatarlum. I fqiipd this yo-ing couple cq.liy settled in light housekeeping rooms in the Hotel Marcus, and learned that her sister Mae was in such poor health that she and the mother, who were up n the Qkanqgan cquntry, might go south for the winter. When the noon train came from the north on Tuedsay It brought a very wel come surprise to us all in that it brought us, these (wq ladies whom i wished but had not expected tJ meet. Since I parted with my sister-in-law eleven years ago she has yield ed up her husband, and their only sqn tq the grm reaper, Death, We had a lovely visit of ssveral days together, and I was delighted with the beautiful Colvllle valley. Marcus tho' only a small place, sit uated qn the bunk qf the Oqlumbla, has beautful scenery. Today Mae and I came on the early morning train hoping by watch ing the O. R. & N. trains to catch, her uncle and aunt, Mr, and Mrs,. s A. Pursel, as they pass through. We have rooms at Lion hotel and ex pect her mother and sister in at 4 p. in. Will visit her$ a few day then ho, for Qrande Rondo! ALICE M. BELL. For a Lame Back.
