GIRL SEES WORLD
FIRST TIME IN LIFE

Tacoma, Wash.-Peering with won
derful eyes at the world of electricity,
gasoline power, steel structure and
fashion that presented itself through
the windows of the new union station
little ~12-year-old Bernice Snyder,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Sny-
der, of the Big Bottom country, was
initiated into the surprises Of modern
civilization.
Clad in Dunkard bonnet, rough
dress Of brown material and heavy
rawhide boots, she peered anxiously
about her and started like a wild
deer at every noise for three hours.
The girl nev heard the whistle Of a
steam engine. She had never seen a
frame building, or a locomotive, or
even a modern wagon. She knew
nothing of electric lights, automo-
biles or streetcars. At noon she ate
dinner from a table laid With a white
cloth for the first time.
The Snyder ranch is 100 miles
from other inhabitants of the great
unoccupied territory on the slope of
Mount Rainier, n three days drive
from Morton, terminus of the Tacoma
e Eastern. The girls mother had not
been away from the ranch in 10
years. The parents recently decided
to place Bernice in the Dunkard
school at Centralia, and four days ago
started for Tacoma.
