MOTOR TOURISTS
TRAVERSE PLAINS
Highways of Northwest Alive
With Cars of Modern
Gypsies.

Conc are the slow-moving vans,
the moth-eaten wagons with their
worse moth-eaten steeds, the can
vas-covered prairie schooners. The
tourist of yesteryear has been rele-
gated to the limbo OF oblivion with
the advent of the fiivver and tho
paved highway.
The modern gypsy Is here!
Portland. Greg. Is the clearing
house for hundreds of tourists eacn
day at this time of the year. And
these tourists are in class by
themselves.
California or Canada bound. they
are pouring over the highways OF
the Northwest-an animated, good
natured, Goth-like horde. rowing of
eye. cheerful Of countenance, and
amiable of disposition.
In vehicles of all sorts they travel,
from touring cars with neatly ar
ranged casercontaining baggage 10
big cumbersome bodies mouRted on
oliver chassis, in which whole
families live day in and day out,
and from whose windows the eager
faces of children peer and from
whose sides float strfngloads of
varicolored wash"
No weather can deter them, nc
hardship can cast them down. They.
are out for a good time. Some
parties have been on the road FOR
months, others have just started.
In the auto camp in Portland
license tags from as many as thirty
States have mingled their colors
and their combinations of numerals.
Along the highways drifting smoke
betokens the presence of campers
along meandering creeks and be-
side cool rivers.
They are going somewhere
Where? They don't know.
We're seeing the country" they
say. We've worked hardsfor years,
and now were taking our vacation.
It's a great life"
1t is no uncommon sight to see
the puny radiator of a cheap car
pufdng steam through the water
vent as the puny engine beneath the
hood battles valiantly to hurry
along a barn-like tonneau with a
family OF a dozen.
The camaraderie of 1t all!
oh. dad, look. there's the people
we saw near Yosemite" a youngster
will cry. Or.
Hello, folks. Haven't seen you
since We pulled through Fourth of
July canyon. How's tricks?" Or,
BY George. we'd sure been out of
luck II you folks hadn't loaned us
that gasoline there in the desert"
The whole Northwest Is pervaded
with the spirit of the modern eypsy.
And long lines OF them stretch back
into the Middle Western plains, up
into the mountains Of Canada, or
down into the rice bottoms of Cali
fornia. s..

To Extricate Car
Irnbedded IN Mud

When a car IL imbedded In mud
or sand It can usually be pulled out
by means Of bit Of plank and
some stout rope. Wrap the rope
around the end Of the plank in a
slipknot and the other end around
a spoke of the wheel Thrust the
end OF the plank under the tire,

il NIGHT VISION


After five days of almost continuous
rain, the weather cleared over Pueblo
today and tonight the stars are shin.
ing from an unclouded sky But on
what a scene they are looking. Mu~
evcrywhere-mud and filth. Down
Union avenue and Main street a few
street tights are burning. They dis
close masses of wreclSage of every de-
scripl.ou, and drunken buildings with
gaping sides like the black mouths of
caverns. On every corner armed
guards ceaseleasly patrol, and no one
passes .thout searching scrutiny.
Automobiles OF the Red Cross are in
evidence everywhere, and the police
are continually making the rounds of
the city in cars. Rumors are flying
thick and fast of men shot whilst at
tempting to loot, but it is impossible
to verify the truth of all the stories
one hears. Whilst entering the Elks'
club on Santa Fe and Fifth streets for
a cup of coffee the writer of this heard
the sound of shots and was told a man
had Just been shot further up Santa
Fe. Later on. looking from the window
Of the Pueblo Chieftain, he saw the
undertaking wagon Of one of the NOR
tuaries pass like black shadow to-
wards the river.

the writer saw seventeen caskets lying
side by side. The Ids were down and
the bodies impossible to view. They
were identified dead. however.
1t was like walking thru a devastat-
ed section Of a shell-torn town OF
Flanders during the late war to make
the trip from the south side to the
north. Battered, twisted bridges:
sharp, peremptory commands; gro
tesque. toppling structures: debris of
all sorts under-foot. 1t was a journey,
too, fraught with constant danger OF
being shot. Black and silent lay the
bottoms In which broken and derailed

conscious of n nauseating taste in the
mouth. and the beginning of what
promises to be a splitting headache.
There Is but one conclusion anyone can
come to after such trip. and 1t 10
that Pueblo must be cleaned up-and
cleaned up fast. Everyone must sub
ordinate other things to this crying
need. and help in the task that means
the health and welfare OF every In
dividual citizen.

The editions OF The Chieftain since
the great flood have not been supplied
to regular subscribers. either in Pueblo
or elsewhere. Much as the necessity
was regretted II was utterly i'm
possible. because of the failure OF e.ec
tric power and gas. to print regular
edition. either as to size or as to num-
ber. II was choice between doing
nothing at all and doing as much as
possible under the circumstances. The
Chieftain accepted the latter alterna-
tive.
At least once day since Friday
night The Chieftain has printed as
many papers as possible, rs often as
possible. In this it has had the coop
Grafton OF the city. state and military
authorities. and these papers have been
sold at the regular price. in the office

occasions when the authorities desired

button was given.
