A CITY OF SILENCE.
Conditions Tht Make Santa Cruz do la
Sierra Noiseless.
Amid gusts of Scotch mist and under
heavy skies we drifted inertly Into a
sand pared, silent, tropical city street,
past rows of languid stares, and on the
last afternoon of the year, with Co
chnbamba (a town in the center of Bo
livia) 335 miles behind us, ve sat
down, dripping and sunburned In th
central plaza of Santa Cruz de la
Sierra.
The capital of all the vast tropical
department of eastern Bolivia owes Its
fame largely to Its isolation. Far
away one bears much of it; once there,
he finds little. Lil; the eminent men
of many secluded corners of South
America, it is important ohJv through
the exceeding unimportance of its
neighbors. ,
It is a city of silence. . Not ony its
bare feet, but its primitive fx carts
make not a sound In the sand streets.
There is no industry to add its strident
voice, and every Btreet fades away at
each end iulo the trackless, whisper
ing, Jungled montana.
In this rainy season, which begins in
earnest with the new year and lasts
through April, it had ninny muddy
pools and ponds, along the edges of
some of which the streets crawled by
on long heaps of the skulls of cattle
bleached snow white by the sun.
The larger ponds were almost lakes
and carried the mind back to Kiindy
Ceylon. Frequently the streets were
flooded deep for an hour or more until
the thirsty snd had drunk up the trop
ical deluge. For these eventualities the
town has a system of its own. At ev
ery Btreet corner four rows of weather
blackened piles protrude a foot or more
above the sand, and along these step
ping stones the shod minority passes
from one roofed sidewalk to another.
The houses invariably consist of a
large room, by day opening directly on
the porch sidewalk, though the best of
them are rather bare in appearance,
despite a small forest of frail cane
chairs, blade In color, as the best pro
vided Cruceno family is not rich by
our standards. Henry A. Franck, in

Its
Descotio Rulers Descend From
Menelik, Son of Solomon.
Abyssinia Is the Ethiopia of the
Bible, and It Is almost unchanged since
the birth of civilization. The Hue of
despots that rule Abyssinia today are
the lineal descendants of Menelik, the
son of the nueen of Shcba and Kln'
Solomon. They seem to have inherited
very little of the well known wisdom
of their famous sire, however, for
Abyssinia is today the unrcgenerate
ragamuilln among nations and also
the picturesque remnant of the world's
oldest civilization.
For Abyssinia, surrounded by trop
ical wilderness and without a seaport,
Is a country apart from the modern
world a country of turbancd and san
daled men, of veiled women wearing
silver anklets, of mighty hunters who
- still take their game with leopards and
hawks as in Biblical days; a land
where gentlemen live by plunder and
monks by alms and a man has as many
wives as he can buy or steal.
Abyssinia is a fortress of antiquity,
defying the world by .Its sheer physical
impenetrability. But a few degrees

is burning desert and fever ridden Jun

Electricity In the White House.
The White House Is said to have the
most intricate and complete electrical
system installed in any building In this
country. There are in the mansion
nearly 170 miles of wires providing for
8,000 incandescent lights, a bell system,
a private telephone syskmi for the
president and his family exclusively,
burglar alarms, Are alarms and a pow

lu the long list of splendid vessels
which in a hundred combats have
maintained the honor of our national
flag the United States stands at the
head. After three years of unavoid
able detention the first naval vessel
built by the United States under the
constitution was to be committed to
the waves. The day chosen for so
great an event hi our history was May
10, 1iU7. The hour for the launching
was set for 1 in the afternoon, and the
whole city of Philadelphia, it is said.
went down to Southwark to behold
such a rare show.
One estimate puts the number, pres
ent at the launching at 30,000 souls, a
goodly number for that period. An
other authority declares that an hour
after the launching took place the
streets of Philadelphia near the river
front were still choked with people
going home.
It was feared that a strong northwest
wind, which for several days had kept
back the tides of the river, would make
the waters of the Delaware much too
shallow to permit the launching. Yet
at sunrise on the morning of the 10th
the best poiuts of observation began to
be occupied by an eager throng.
By noon every hilltop and every
housetop commanding a view on each
side of the river and every Inch of
space on the stands put up about the
vessel and before the houses on Swan
ston street was covered with human
beings. In the river a hundred craft
rode at anchor, gay with bunting and
richly dressed dames. At 1 precisely
the blocks were knocked from under
her, the lashing of the cable cut and
amidst the shouts of the great multi
tude the United States slid gracefully
down her ways.
The builder of this first naval ves
sel of the United States was Joshua
Humphreys. The launching was wit
nessed by the president of the United
States and the heads of the depart
ments, who were stationed in the
United States brig Sophie. Commo
dore Barry was in command of the
vessel.
The figurehead on the vessel was
carved by William Rush and repre
sented the genius of America wearing
a crest adorned with a constellation.
Her hair escaped in loose, wavy tres
ses and rested upon her breast. A
portrait of Washington was suspended
from her neck, and her waist was
bound with a civic band.
In the right hand the figure held a
spear and belts of wampum the em
blems of wur. and peace. In her left
hand was suspended the constitution
of the Union. Above was a tablet on
which rested three books, to represent
the three branches of government, and
the scales of justice. On the base of
the tablet were curved the eagle and
national escutcheon and the attributes
of commerce, agriculture, the arts and
sciences.
Scarcely was the frigate In the water
than the journals of (he country who
were in favor of the French republic
and took exception to the class rule of
the country, as they designated it, be
gun to scoff and to jeer. "What would
the executive do with his navy of one
forty-four gun ship? Seud her to hunt
up the Africa and demand satisfaction
for the insults heaped upon the town
of Newport and the French Minister
Fauchet? Send her to avenge the flog
ging given by an Englishman to the
captain of an American ship? Would
ho use her to stop the Impiessment of
our seamen and the plunder of our
merchantmen? Or would he use her
against the French?"
These radical Republicans noted that
Talleyrand himself had been heard to
say thnt France had nothing to fear
from a nation of debaters that had
been trying for three years to build
three frigates.
The United States was one of the
first vessels to do service In the War
of 1812, with that brilliant Boa captain,
Stephen Decatur, in churgo,' nnd the
most remarkable of the engagements
lu which she fought was with the
Macedonian. Of all the battles between
American und British ships there was
none so ofteu discussed and so well
enienibored up to our civil war as this
sea fight, for the reason that the vic
tory was well won for the Americans.

Beggar Women of Vigo, Spain, Sport
Elaborate Gold Earrings.
rurhaiH you labor under the delusion
that the principal vocation in life of a
handkerchief is to attend at discreet
intervals the nose when that necessary
feature indulges in a little Marathon.
Not so in Vigo, Spain. Yet handker
chiefs are much more in evidence in
this quaint Spanish seaport thuu in
our nasal Yankee midst.
Here, however, they are raised to an
exalted position far abeud of their
plain usage of the western world. In
Vigo they cover the head of every peas
ant. woman and even the Infants in
arms. What matter if the child lacks
shoes, if even a scanty slip is Its sole
surtorlul effect? Always Its head is
carefully muflled from any advances of
the sun by a bright hued handkerchief
carefully knotted under its tender In
fantile chlu.
A Paisley shawl and a pair of elabo
rate filigree gold earrings are the two
other necessary adjuncts of 4 .typical
VIgoosque toilet. In the eurrlng fash
Ion us well as the handkerchief one
the Infants of Vigo invariably share.
The toddlers not only have big ears,
but they are also gold trimmed.
Even pauper women in filthy rags
begging by the roadside have ears or
nate with golden baubles flaunted in
the face of poverty.
The tatters of these few beggars are
the surprisingly few evidences of dirt
you detect In this picturesque little fish
lng village. With its steep, stragglin
cobble streets climbing up characters
tic Spanish utcps to the top of its for
tress topped mount it seems almost a
spotless town after the unspeakable

1100 FIRES IN DISTRICT
CALLED THEM INDIANS.
How the Red Men of This Country
Came to Get That Name.
"But," said the little girl who has
now reached the dignity of owning
geography, "why did they call the peo
ple they found lu this country 'Iinli
aus?' The people who live in India
ought to be called by that nunie."
Now, that was a very appropriate
question for the little girl to ask. And
the answer to the little girl and to any
other little girls and boys who may be
puzzled by the same thing is that Co
luinlius and his men didn't start out to
discover America. They didn't, of
course, know there was any America
here. What they did believe wus th.'i
the world wus round and thut by sail
ing far enough they would come up cii
the other side. You all know now thai
what they believed is true, but in those
days most people believed that the
world wus flat and thut if u ship suiled
far enough out Into the ocean it would
fall off the edge.
-Columbus said that if he took a ship
and sailed and sailed he would at' lust
come to India. Now, India was a very
rich country, and for hundreds of years
Europe had been trying to find an
easier way to get there, so what Co
lumbus said appealed to a good many
nierchuiits und traders, and Spain final
ly fitted out some ships for Columbus.
You all know that Columbus finally
did reach America, but he believed ho
had sailed clear around the world and
had come to India from the other side,
so he named the people he found on the
shore "Indians." And after It was
found that ibis was not India, but a
new world, people went on calling the
people Indians because that was as
good a name as any for them, they
thought, Kansas City Star.
English Is Bad Enough,
"Why talk of the difficulty of pro
nouncing Polish, Austrian, Russian or
Roumanian names," says a writer in
the Sun Francisco Chronicle, "when
ninety-nine out of eve(y hundred can
not pronounce scores and scores of
English names? Just think of Bertie
pronounced as Bnrty, Dllwyn as Dillon,
Belvolr as Beever, Featherstonhnur;li
as Festunhaw, Dalzell as Dee-el, Ruth-
ven as Rlvven. And these are by no
means the worst cases !"

Few Norwegians Can Swim.
It is a curious fact, says the London
Lancet, considering the geography of
the country, that the proportion of Nor
wegians who can swim Is small, the
number of deaths in Norway from
drowning being about 000 a year. Only
about 12 per cent of all the school chil
dren between the ages of twelve and
fifteen have learned lo swim. Norwe
gian sailors say the extreme coldness
of the waters that hive their shores
accounts for this.

In Oregon There Were 683 Forest
Fires During Past Year
Eleven hundred seventy-six fires
on the national forests of Oregon,
Washington and Alaska burned over
9,000 acres of timberland, destroyed
25 million board feet of merchantable
timber worth $23,000 and young
growth and forage worth $12,000, and
cost the forest service $19,000 to sub
due during the fire season of 1916, ac
cording to a complete report just com
piled in the office of District Forester
George H, Cecil, Portland. In addi
tion to the timberland, more than 10,-
000 acres of open country was also
burned over.
The fires on the national forests of
this district for 1916 were designated
as follows: Alaska 28, Washington
465 and Oregon 683. In number of
fires reported, the Siskiyou national
forest in Oregon leads the district
with 243 gres. The Snoqualmie for
est in Washington stands second with
a record of 177 fires for the season.
The least number of fires occurred on
the Tongass forest, Alaska, where
three were reported.
Sixty per cent of these 1176 fires
were discovered and put out before
they had gained headway enough to
cover a quarter of an acre. Thirty
two fires, less than three per cent of
the total number, burned over more
than ten acres and did damage to ex
ceed $100 before they were put under
control. Any one of the 1144 other
fires, if left to itself, might have be
come a large forest fire, says District
Forester Cecil.
Campers caused 23 per cent of all
the fires reported. Lightning was re
sponsible for 19 per cent, railroads
for 8 Vi per cent, logging operations
6, brush burning 6. The remainder
were from miscellaneous and un
known causes. These figures do not
indicate that campers are becoming
more careless with fire than formerly,
but that there was a great increase in
the number of tourists and campers
visiting the forests, according to Mr.
Cecil. '
Nearly $3,000 of the $19,000 spent
by the forest service in fire fighting
in this district last year was used on
private land within or adjacent to the
national forests, to subdue fires which
threatened to enter the forests. Tim
berland owners furnished co-operation
to the amount of $5,264.63. Ex
cellent co-operation was given by the
state foresters of Oregon and Washington.
POWER OF FROST,
Fall of a Fifty Ton Bowlder of Granite
In the Yosemite.
Delicate frost tracings on the win
dowpanes seem to be the work of fan
ciful anil harmless sport Iveness, l.i.t
the hand that forms them is capable of
greater deeds and other kinds.
An official of the geological survey
tells of aa experience that must have
been . wonderfully Impressive n the
spectator. He had lieen sprit j o:h
weeks in exploring the Yo.sem.. valley
and the "great rocks," like TBI ('upiliiii,
that wall It in.
Standing one day of lute autumn
about the middle of the valley, he was
startled by a report like a cannon shot,
which filled the whole valley with
echoes that roared and boomed, re
plied and multiplied, In a long continu
ed, glorious tumult.
As the deafening sound died away in
sullen mutferlnps under the visor of El
Capltan the spectator was able to dis
tinguish the point of attack by the long,
cluttering descent of a vast quantity
of rock.
The night had been a cold one in the
valley, and on the 7,000 and 8,000 foot
Jjevels of the upper rim the temperature
nuist have dropped almost to zero.
Frost, working quietly with his Archi
medean lever, had just succeeded in
shifting from the shoulder of the senti
nel a trifle of fifty tons or so of granite.
For near a thousand feet the bowlder
fell sheer, swift and silent; then, strik
ing the cliff, It burst like a bomb, shat
tered into a myriad flying shards and
splinters ami dislodged a smother of
fragments that trickled down to the
.valley in a stream that lasted for min
utes. Then from the spot where, the bowld
er had struck dust began to rise into
the sunny air, slowly building up like
a summer cloud aud every bit as snowy.
It was the flour of granite, powdered
Instantaneously by the terrific shock.

B. N. HICKS NAMED
Former Oregon City Attorney Will
Aid in Dry Law Work
B. N. Hicks, an attorney of Port
land and formerly of Oregon City, has
been made superintendent of the law
enforcement department of the Ore
gon Anti-Saloon league and will be
gin his duties when the new bone-dry
prohibition law goes into effect.
Attorney Hicks has had wide ex
perience in the work such as is con
templated in Oregon under the arid
measure. For two years prior to the
admission of Oklahoma into the union
Mr. hicks conducted the campaign
for the dry clause in the constitution
and immediately following that had
charge of the law enforcement de
partment of the anti-liquor organiza
tion, and as legal alviser.
It will be Mr. Hicks' purpose to
work as an aide to the district attor
neys throughout the state, assist in
compiling evidence and in offering
free legal advice to the various com
munities where' there is a suspicion
of law infraction. The department, of
course, will make no effort to usurp
the powers of prosecution of the var
ious unit officers, but it will give them
aid whenever possible.
Mr. Hicks conducted the legal work
in connection with the dry campaign
of Clackamas county, when Oregon
City was made dry, and carried the
fight to the supreme court, where he
won the case. In his new office he
will be associated with R. P. Hutton,
superintendent of the Oregon Anti
Saloon league, and will have offices
adjoining.
Rev. Philip Deschner, who has been
acting as field secretary of the Anti
Saloon league, and who has been in
Oregon City many times, left Tues
day night for Dallas, Tex., to become
professor of theology at the Southern
Methodist university there and to as
sist in starting a drycampaign.
G. A. R. Veteran Buried
R. O. Woodward, father of R. E.
Woodward of Oregon City, was bur
ied at Mountain View cemetery Fri
day. Mr. Woodward died at Los An
geles on January 20 at the age of
84 years. He was a veteran of the
Civil war and a member of Meade
post, G. A. R., of this city. Mr. Wood
ward was a survivor of the battle of
Gettysburg. Six children and 25
grandchildren survive.
His Coolness and Resource In a Time
of Extreme Peril.
Ordinary people standing on a nar
row ledge whence they can Bee down
200 or 300 feet are so appalled by the
danger of fulling that their nerves give
way, their bodies flinch and' there
comes to Some at least an impulse to
end the mental strain by a leap iuto
the gulf. But the steeplejnck Is indif
ferent to height and proximity to the
abyss.
The coolness and resource of these
meu were never better shown than In
a case which happened in upper New
York state a few yeurs ago. A steeple
jack had flown bis kite over u chimney
aud subsequently drawn himself up to
the top. He was Just beginning his in
spection of the work when by some
mishap he dropped his rope and was
left, like St. Simeon Stylites, alone on
bis pillar.
Attempts were made to fly another
kite over him, but the wind had drop
ped. There were iron ladders inside
the chimney, but the fires would have
to be drawn and the chimney let cool
for hours.
The steeplejack was then seen to un
lace one of his shoes, take off the loin;
blue stocking worn by such workmen
and set to work carefully to unravel it,
knotting the pieces of yarn together
when necessary.
He then fastened a stone to the end,
plumbed th depth, picked the other
stocking to pieces und added it to the
first length of yarn nnd let it down far
enough to meet a tall ladder, from
which he drew up first a piece of
strong strltg, next a rope and then
after completing his inspection of the
chimney top lowered himself to the
ground. Los Angeles Times.

comes from the timber clad slopes of

Origin of an Old Saying.
Many think that the saying "Blood is
thicker than water" originated with
Commodore Tatnall of the United
States navy, who assisted the English
In the Chinese waters, und, in his dis
patch to his government, justified his
interference by quoting the words. It
is, however, an old English proverb
and is to be found in Ray's "Collection
of English Proverbs," published in 1672.

water.' She's welcome to the cheeses
and the hams, just the sa me." Phila

was painting in quite a different "key."
