Everywhere in Arabia, points out
Mr. Davenport, the traveler sees great
trains o f camels bearing licorice roots
from the desert to the Mediterrsnean
sea for shipment to America tobacco
manufactories. He relates that when
he first realized what these camels
were conveying he thought o f an old
friend o f Hia back in Silverton, Or.,
who was probably the greatest tobacco
chewer in the States, and he began to
think what a noticeable difference ft
would make in the camel trade o f
Arabia if this W ebfooter would reform.
for the remarkable amount o f clothing
worn by Sied Ablallah, the Be loiiir
boy who is now with Mr. Davenport [
in Oregon.
Mi. Davenport, Thompson and Moore
spent 17 days at Anazeh, and enjoyed
every minute o f it. Y e t In all this time
no one but T ’ .ops *11 saw any women.

tribesman, anu it don’ t much matter
who j,e meve father may f>e. Woman
■a idealized by them, says the traveler,
and vjrtt betide the man wh 1 slurs the
gentler sex. Not that their women
enjoy the same freedom as men, for
they don’ t, but with the Arab there is
no one so pure as woman. Davenport
says the Arab is the most moral man
in the world, and cites many facta to
prove it. They are alar* a cleanly
people. When
Thompson
sneaked
around a bunch o f camels and snap­
shotted a small group o f Arab women
with his camera, the episode nearly cost
him his life, but this picture is shown
along with others.
On hi* return trip, the pyramids of
Egypt are shown in a vista which
shows also the the modern trolley
poles o f an electric railway. Mr.
Davenport advises all Americans hurry
if they ever expect to see the pyramids
unadorned with patent medicine posters
and Chew Cut f'lug paintings.
Upon his return to New York, with
the ten Arabian horses, Mr. Davenport
received a call from Buffalo Bill (Col.
William F. Cody). The famous scout
asked Davenport if he would loan him
one of the Arabian horses for his use
at the Wild West performance in Madi­
son Square Garden, to which Daven­
port at once consented. Col. Cody
told him; “ I ’ ve been advertising my I
‘ Arabian horses for 26 years, but t o ' C'xB
this time I have never seen one.”
Cody rode the horse all right, and it is C - J
told how picturesque this great, horse-
man of the Far West looked astride a
stallion o f the Far East. Sied Alxlallah,
the Bedouin boy, is as great a horse- *- J
man as Buffalo Bill, and handles a j
spear as an American would a bamboo |
r j
cane.
n
When in Stayton, Sied met “ Uncle” | r j
Charlie Fisenhart. “ He looks just bke j C v j
the great sniek o f the tribes« f Ar.areh”
ol s rved Sied; and Davenport assured
his audience that this was the boy ■ L i
highest compl ment.
Aleppo, he says, is a hideous pi* ?•
hot, nauseating, filthy. It con'ains
reeking population and also about 4»\
000 dogs. The dogs are scavengers,
but owing to the heat o f the place all
o f them were neglecting their duties
and the stenches which fille I the cooped
up atmosphere beggared description.
The streets o f Aleppo are too narrow
for two vehicles to pass, and when two
conveyances meet in the alleylike
thorofares the lesser traveler gives
way to the greater by doubling on his
tracks to the next crossroad, into
which he backs while his superior
passes. Aleppo contains probably the
greatest fortress in the world, built
2,000 years before Christ. It is miles
in cireumferance, but is no longer used
for defensive pur|x«es.
When the Americans were taking
their equine g ifts out o f the pasha’s
gardens at Aleppo, all his servants
stood thunderstruck to
see these
Christians laying handa on what they
had always considered ns property
sacred to Moslem. In parting, the
Turkish governor shook hands all
around, and Davenport says the Turk
seemed so impressed with the rare oc
casion that he held on longer than
seemed absolutely necessary for so
hot a day; it was 130 in the coolest
shade! Moore escaped both handshak­
ing and the probable g ift o f a fin
horse hy st .ying at their lodging* in a
blue funk, duo to the excessive heat
and filth o f th « place. Davenport says
getting the blues in Aleppo aur|«sses
anything in the blue line he has ever
experienced.
It was at Aleppo, in 190»?, that Ge .
Hassan Tchsain Pasha, the riches.-! man
in the Ottoman empire and second in
authority only to Abdul Hamid, lived
an exile. As Hassan’s popularity grew
when in Constantinople, the sultan
became very auspicious and oiuj day
called him in itudience. Gen. H assan
was sent to Aleppo, ostensibly as
governor o f the province, hut when
he arrived there was informed tht t he
was the sultan’ s prisoner and a. life
exile. Later, wh< n Abdul was deposed
by the Young Turks, Gen. Hassan re­
turned to Constantinople and tlv-re
rode triumphantly thru a welcome arch
erected in his honor. He is todt y
governor o f the largest province in
southern Arabia.

The Annual Horse Show at Salem
will be held Friday and Saturday, April
8th and 9th. This event is one o f the
most important o f its kind to the
farmers o f the Northwest, where the
farmers ani stock m ei can sec the r j
best horses o f 1! breeds.
The first day o f the Horse Show will
be exhib.ting the different horses in a
magnificent parade. The second day
will be devote 1 to a sale. A t this sale
buyers and sellers will assemble from
all parts o f the country, and as the en­
tries o f stock are to be printed in
catalogue f« rm and sent broadcast,
there will be no difficulty in finding
buyers for all available horser in the
country.

by the railroad.
The Horse Show Association,
of
which C. L. Dick is president an i R.
L. Paulua is secretary, is a permanent
organization, so that this event will be
handled in a businesslike manner from
year to year. It is planned to erect a
bleacher and grand stand along the
streets, which will be taken down and
stored for another season. There is a \ b
movement on foot to erect a $25.000
auditorium in which this event will be \ K
held in the future.
The

should attend an exhibition o f this

kind and give it their hearty support,
as it is more largely to their benefit
than anyone else’s. The exhibition is
