ENDURED MANY HARDSHIPS

The Westward Ho young woman has
arrived!
| Pioneer heroines and cattle queens have
| helped to make the national and COM
mercial history of the far west, but the
girl homesteader is the newest factor in
its social life.
A real girl Of the golden, etc. Miss
Jessie L. Stevens. who is now visiting
relatives in this city, is so young that
she might belong to the debutante set,
except that she prefers sagebush to So
ciety. And to her winsome personality is
added clean-cut style that suggests the
| outdoor girl on the cover Of summer
| magazine.
| To hear little Miss Stevens tell Of her
life in the open is to share her enthusiasm
and to wonder why every other bright
| girl does not exchange her stuffy exist
ence in walled-in office or schooroom for
the joy Of owning a claim somewhere
! in the great outdoors of the west. And
yet
| The average girl probably lacks the
endurance to battle with such hardships
as the securing Of a homestead entails.
The great things Of life nearly always
come about in a. casual way and Miss
Stevens and her two girl friends, Miss
Leona Swank and Miss Winifred Cook,
| had no idea of homesteads when they
started from their home in Buffalo, N.
Y. to attend the Seattle exposition. After
a month Of sightseeing the young people
visited Miss Cooks relatives In Yakima,
| Wash, and became so enthusiastic over
the state and its people that when friends
| jollied them about taking up claims in
| the new tract the government was about
| to throw open for settlement, they took
| the proposition up; they would be home
| steaders in earnest
Camped on the Road.
! The first time the three girls visited
the claims, prior to settlement, they made
the trip-a distance Of sixty miles from
Yakima-in a vehicle similar to the

which they were the star members, was

| in the sage brush. What they saw when
| they got there was so much sand and
| sage brush, with the nearest drop of
water four miles away in the Columbia
river. But the eyes of youth and hope saw
| also a future Of irrigation and fruit
crops, and when the Buffalo girls re-
turned to Yakima their decision ito set
tle' was made.
The land was thrown open September
| Z. 1909, but as Miss Stevens and her
friends had not been natives for quite
| the month required by law they took
possession, but did not file their claims
until October 7.
