W. @. DO0LZI'rLE RETURNS;
INSPECTED PORTLAND PARKS

Qua ;hc west for serving the public
in an exemplary way.
In spite of the fact that the day
was rainy and often foggy an excel
lent idea could be gained from the
trip Of the scenic grandeur OF the
Columbia gorge. Just before we ar
rived at The Dalles there was rift
in the clouds and across the river,
Through Il gap in the foothills. aD-
Dcarcd the ma jestic Mt. Adams. Its
summit was lost in the fog but tuily
twothirds of the snoW-coVercd noun
tain was bathcd in sunlight, giving a
peculiar glistening and spectral ap-
pcalance. Mt Hood on the Oregon
side could not be seen on account OF
the fog but this is one OF the great
attractions Of the Columbia Highway
When the air is clear, Mt. Rainier can
also be discerncd at the north.
Chambers and I left the rest OF
the party at The Dalcs and took the
train for Minot, making only a brief
~ opuver at Spokane. The trip over
the Great Northern is familiar to
many Of your readers and does not
need any extensive remarks on our
part. The route lies through beautiful
and rugged country in Washington,
northern idaho and northwestern
Montana The trip along the koote-
mai River in Idaho and Montana is
especially pleasing to one who has
not taken it before.
On account of the lateness of the
season and poor condition Of unpaved
roads we were obliged to change some
of our plans and give up the contem
plated trips to the Sequoia, Yosemite
and Crater Lake National Parks. The
failure to get to the latter park was
a great disappointment as it was one
of the objects Of our trip to make a
study of the merits Of the questions
involved in the proposed Diamond
Lake territory addition to the park.
1t is proposed to add this territory,
which contains Diamond Lake, Mt.
Thielsen and Mt. Bailey. as an addi-
tional attraction to Crater Lake Ma
tional Park At the present time the
lake is the only outstanding object Of
real major scenic value within the
park. The Diamond Lake addition
would not only add an area of much
scenic value but would also provide a
preserve for wild fowl and marsh
birds where they could be seen and
studied to the best advantage by the
tourist. We were advised on our ar
rival at Medford that trip by auto
to the park would be disastrous as the
roads were full of snow and exceed
ingly dangerous in places. We there
fore reluctantly abandoned that part
of the trip.

Americans Live Like Kings Says
German Girl

Miss Lydia Gaschk, recently arriv-
ed in America, and visiting her uncle
in Bismarck, says that Americans live
like kings, compared to the working
people in Germany, who live on dark
bread and potatoes, but few being
able to afford vegetables and only
the rich can have butter. She says
the working people are in most cases
without sufficient clothing and can
scarcely make ends meet, and Amer
ica seems like a veritable fairyland
to one wearied with living in war
torn Germany in the present after
war period. But she says the Ger
mans do not harbor any love for the
kaiser, and do not want to see the
monarchy come back.

Telegram
Mandan, n. d., Nov. 2S.--Nerdlct
for $l0O was awarded in district
court here to Delmar Johnson, son
Of NJ Johnson, farmer OF nea: Dunn
Center, against the Western Union
Telegraph company, as damage claim
ed resulting from his receipt OF fake
telegram saying his father was dead.
The younger johnson was attending
school when he received the following
telegram:
"t ather dead Come home at once
Myrtle Moore.
Returning, the SON found his father
alive, while he was unable to find the
sender of the message and this still
remains mystery, Johnson then
sued the telegraph company for $4,000
damages-costs Of the trip and balm
for needless mental anxiety.
p. D. Norton, attorney for the
plaintiff, argued that the Mandan
manager of the telegraph company
failed to use proper Judgment as the
request to send the wire was received
in an envelope, badly written and with
no instructions as to whom to charge
the message.
The defense contended that the
Western Union has as it's prime pur-
pose, speed and service in transmits
sion of messages and that if il were
required to verify the truth of every
message received its force would have
to be increased one hundred times.
