OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1913. WATER AND LAND " PEACE IN THE BALKANS. BULGARIA'S ROSES FAIL TO EQUAL WILLAMETTE'S iinTiirniu i looir IwinLilLI LAddlL HFTQ IN TDHIIRIF ULIU 111 IllUUULL Likening the balmy-aired and rose scented vales and the timbered hills of Bulgaria to the beautiful Willam ette valley, Frank Busch, who not so long ago made an extended trip into the out-of tive-way places of the Old ; World, gives a most interesting de scription of the Balkans the home of a brave people who are now strug gling in a bitter war against the pow ers of Europe and Asia Minor in an effort to establish themselves as an independent nation. Mr. Busch has been a keen observer of the lands : through which he passed, and in de scribing the things he saw, tells his story in an intimate way that brings before the mind a living picture ot the forsign climes and scenes. Spea':ing of this land in the Old World, he says: "Bulgaria, is a land especially adapted for dreamers. Everything is green. Nature clothed, the hills, fields and meadows in gorgeous at tire. The sides of the valleys are covered with fragrant, blooming lin den and wild pear trees; creeks are bordered with green-carpetted msad ows and fields of rye, and even uncul , tivated lands are decked man-high with blooming flowers an wild grains. The many large trees, standing isolat ed, give the relief of dark shawods drawn on the light green below, mak- ing of the whole country a beautiful picture. "The golf grounds noar Portland, along the banks of the Willamette, re mind me much of these Bulgarian scenes, which when seen once can never be forgotten. All the low-lying lands along the Danube are counter parts of our Oregon valleys. "The villages are large but far apart. Church bells can be heard ev erywhere, but the churches are most ly but poor hovels. I traveled through Bulgaria in 1881, and camped in oie of them over night. This church was really a part of a cow stable, some ten feet square, the roof mas thatched with straw, and the ceiling hardly high enough to permit of one standing upright. The door was the only open ing, and what light and air there was had to find its way in through this aperture. On one of the walls hung heavy oil-cloth, painted upon which iWerfe holy pictures. "The floor was covered with cheap carpet, and in one corner stood a cheap table bearing two candlesticks. These were the furnishing of the church of the village known as Gas sabeilen. Practically all the inhabit ants of the villages are Christians, but along the Danube's banks are to be found man farmers who profess the Mohammaden faith. "Not far from this village I enter ed the old Bulgarian capital of Tirua wa. A more romantic spot I do no believe exists in all the Balkan states. The river Jantra has cut a deep bed through the soft sandstone, and be tween vertical walls this stream winds its way like a serpent through a broad valley. The roads twere in poor condition, and in many places were similar to our mountain trails. . "The hills are mostly covered with giant walnut trees. Near the small town of Kasoulik I measured one of these beautiful monarchs, and found it to be more than 100 feet in dia meter at the bottom of the crown. The walnut tree is no doubt the most symetrical and ornamental of all that are native to the Balkans. . Its dark green foliage, the shadows under the high crown, the rich vegetation about the trunk, and the rippling of the springs and brooks near which the trees grow to such enormous size all this adds to their enchanting beauty. "During the bright - unny hours one can hear the merry song of a wild pigeoncalled the laughing pigeon in the dense foliage, while in night time the nightengale fills the air with its melodies. "The country is immensely rich with springs. I recall one that I saw beside the main road, jumping out of graveley soil about ten inches thick, and running away as a little, brook. All hardens and fields are irrigated from such springs, the supply never giving out. Every valley is a picture of plenty, many of the fields bearing rye six and seven feet high. Pacture lands, on which are feeding large herds of sheep or cattle, add to the . impression of plenty everywhere. "Bulgaria's skies are always heavi ly clouded, and frequent thunder showers aid in keeping the fields moist. These showers are always of short duration, and are followed by the brightest sunshine. "Kasoulik is the old, historic land of the rose. The blooms are not grown as an ornament to garden'.s, nor are they cultivated for their beauty. Instead they are plantel in rows like berries, and are harvested ' for commercial gain. According to the Koran, the rose 'gul' in Turkish " originated during the Prophet's as PRINCIPALS IN WEIRD (Copyright by International News Service; supplied by New Process Elec tro Corporation, N.

The murder of pretty Miss Crispell, whose body was found . in Harvey's Lake, near Wilkes Barre, Pa., is attracting nation-wide attention, as one of the startling mysteries of the day. Now that Johns has been liberated ef forts are being made to find a man whom Miss Crispell jilted for Johns. cent to Heaven. This he found des J perate work, and perspired at it mightily, and out of every drop or sweat that fell to the ground a white rosebush sprang yellow .ones from the sweat of his horse, and red ones from the, sweat of the archangel Ga briel. It is a common saying in Kas oulik that Gabriel must have had th3 worst of the trip, for most of tht roses are red. "Roseleaves are much in demand in the Orient for culinary purposes. Pre served in sugar they are a staple mp on the breakfast table of every well-to-do person. And Bulargia furnishes a large share of these leaves. But the main purpose of the cultivation of the beautiful blooms in the Balkans is for the extraction of rose oil from the flowers. One can buy this oil in Kasoulik for 15 piastres a drachmc. In Constantinople they sell whot pre tends to be the same for 8 piastres, but there is little of the real rose oil that gets to the hands of the con sumers. "Roses cultivated for th-s purpose are of the old-fashione;', drrk red, thick-leaved variety; and there is no doubt in my mind that soil and clim atic conditions are largely responsi ble for the heavy percent of oils. Of course, if American enterprise and capitol were to be introduced, nothiug would be left to chance, and the chemical laboratory would become important adjunct of the rose fields."

The speaker scoffed at the idea of heredity and environment playing an important a part in a man's career as some would have us believe. "Man never inherited a habit. Speaking in the ideal way we are not man and woman; we are the raw material. We may inherit a weakness, but never a habit. This influence of heredity and environment is greatly overdrawn. The basis is often laid in heredity or environment, but the product, never." Gladstone Park, under smiling skies was at its best Wednesday, and the attendance was exceptionally good. All classes of the summer school boasted of crowded audiences, and in the evening the last of the three days' domestic science course given by Mrs. Robbins of O. A. C, drew an audience of over 200 women, notwithstanding the counter attraction of a ball game at the same hour. Among the prom inent visitors on the grounds and who were guests at the Shakespeare club were Col. Robert S. Miller, of Port land; Hon. C. B. Moores, of Portland; Colonel Bain, Mrs. E. A. Davis, presi dent of P. E. O., chapter "A" of Port land; Prof. F. C. Taylor, of Pacific University, and Mrs. Adah Wallace Unrugh, of Portland. The work of Mrs. Elder's art class which also haa headquarters at the Shakespeare tent, is attracting wide attention, and the work of some of the budding etchers is remarkable. v Thursday is one of the big days of the assembly. The Chautauqua "page ant" given by the several hundred children camped on the grounds will be the greatest children's feature ever attempted at the local assembly. The work is under the direction of an ex pert; Miss Grace Lamkin, of Chicago, 111. Practically every child on the grounds will take part. The pageant occurs at 2:00 p. m., on the athletic field, with full band accompaniment. Some of the features are the "Hansel and Gretel'" group; the spear drill, the "butterfly dance;" the "squir rels;" "Das Gartenspiel," and . num erous folk dances. This is the exclu sive feature of the aftternoon until the ball game at 3:30. A great lec ture by the venerable Colonel Bain on "A Searchlight of the Twentieth Century" will be the evening feature. The popular colonel has been hob bling about the grounds, bly bruis ed as the result of an auto accident in Portland. Wednesday was O. A. C, and Dr. Wythcombe's address this morning at 11:00, with several fine musical num bers by the "Co-ed" quartette, featur ed a delightful college hour. KANSANS LIKE CLIMATE Z. Y.

And thereby hangs a tale. Mr. Miller, accompa nied by Steve Bird and Estell Mbnt gomery made a trip to Washougal re cently in the Roamer, Mr. Miller's heavy weather cruiser, The start was made from Oregon iCty at six in the morning, and after being beset by many perils- the cruise was ended lato in the afternoon. There Mr. Miller traded the Roamer for an automobile, and the bunch started' homeward af ter Miller had practiced some 15 min utes with the benzine buggy. After going eight miles one of the tire3 on the auto blew out, and Miller exerted his knowledge of seamanship in patching the leak. Two miles from Vancouver the benzine chariot stop ped with a weak snort, and investiga tion showed that the gasoline had giv en out. The entire party hoofed it into the garrison town, where Mr. Montgomery took the train for home. The rest acquired gasoline in sundry carriers and returned to the car, in which they slept all night. The journey to Oregon City was re sumed the next morning, and proud bu exhausted the party finally reach ed Oregon City. Miller says tha.: af ter he gets the knack of the auto he expects to have a real good time with it. SEXES WILL CLASH ON DIAMOND EIELD A baseball game between the ladies and gentlemen will be a feature of the Clackamas County Automobile club's run to Wilhoit Springs Sunday, and .members are looking forward to seeing one of the most unique games in the history of the great national sport. Aside from the game, there will be a continuous concert by the Molalla band, dancing for those who want to, a bowling contest for the heavyweights who do not care to try their prowess upon the diamond, and swimming races in the big pool. Mem bers who are not feeling in the best of health will be permitted to take mud baths, arrangements having been made with the management of the health resort to care for the ailing. Thirty-five reservations have al ready been made for plates at the chicken dinner that will be one of the attractions, and it is expected that many more will send in their names before -Friday, by which time the list will be clased. M. D. Latourette, John F. Risley and William R. Logus com pose the committee in charge of the run. BEAUTIFUL WOMEN Nothing adds more to the beauty of women than luxuriant hair. The regular use of Meritol Hair Tonic will keep the hair healthy, promote its growth, keep it clean and bright, and gives it that wavy appearance so much admired. Jones Drug Co.. sole agents. LUNCH EIVE CENTS, DINNER EIFTLEN TACOMA, Wn., July 16. One of the interesting features of the Puyal lup summer school, which is attract ing much attention, is the emphasis being laid on instruction in lowering the cost of living, and of special in terest along this line is the work ot the class in rural school lunches: With an equipment costing $5.50, in cluding a gasoline stove, kettles, pans and other utensils, the class of twenty-four students, teachers, prin cipals, ministers, stenographers, etc., prepare their hot lunches every day at the remarkable cost of 5 cents or less. The class is one which is thor oughly practical and the lunches such that they, might be served in any rural school. With the same idea of economy in purchasing the cooking a series of "Working Man's Dinners" are being served to a number of invited guests by the advanced class in domestic sci ence. The menus are attractive and satisfying and the cost below 15c per plate. It is quite evident that no ex travagant ideas of buying and cook ing are being fostered in the classes at the summer school. M(uch of the economizing must be done by the housewife and the women in these classes in domestic economy are be ing taught how to teach others to buy right, "know what you want, and get what you want." rival here expressed great delight in the city and conutry. When they left their home a hot wave was corching everything to a rich brown, and the green vegetation and cool weather here are much appreciated by them. MRS.

McGill, from this place. "I was very weak and could not do any work. I tried different remedies, bat they did me no good. One day, I got a bottle of Cardui. It did me so much good, I was surprised, and took some more. Before I took Cardui, I had headache and backache, and sometimes I would cry for hours. Now I am over all that, and can do all kinds of housework. I think it Is the greatest medicine on earth."

Before Queeu Catherine de' Medici started the fashion of sidesaddles by having a board slung on the left side of her horse to support her feet all poor women rode on a pillion behind a man. All women of the better class rode astride. A lady to prepare for riding bent forward and took hold of the lower hem of the back of her dress skirt, drew it through between her legs and wrapped her skirts around her legs down to her knees, then folded the rest of her skirts across the front of her person. Then she drew on a pair of large trousers, the legs of which ended just below the knees, where they were sewed to the tops of a pair of clumsy riding boots. The upper part of the trousers was' open in front, and the flaps folded across the person and fas tened by a band around the waist A hood was worn on the head, and a mask protected the face from sun and weather. She rode on a man's saddle and wore spurs and carried a quirt (riding whip) looped on the right wrist The same style and kind of quirt Is now . used , by our western cowboys and plains Indians And was formerly carried by the Cossacks. A lady in riding costume, whether on foot or on horseback, was anything but a graceful figure. Our great-grandmothers rode on slde- V saauies, one tueir rjreai-greax-graiia-mothers rode astride if they belonged to the gentry class. Our plains Indian women, even when they changed their buckskin skirts that came to the knee and their buck skin leggings for the long calico skirt of white women, always rode astride. Washington Post THEY DIDN'T MIND DIRT. In the Days When Clothes Were Dyed, but Never Washed. In the matter of the washing of clothes, not to say the washing of themselves, our ancestors were a trifle lax. The laundress of the twelfth cen tury must have held a position which was practically a sinecure, while it seems within the bounds of possibility that in those days she did not exist at all. There were, Insooth, few gar ments which would stand washing, and the dyer was driving a brisk trade before the laundress was even thought of. A little dye must indeed have cov ered a multitude of spots. In the days of the Tudors and Stu arts washing was a trifle more In evi dence than formerly, but those articles which were permitted to find their way into the "buck pan" as the wash ing tub used to be called were few and far between. The wealthy of the middle ages got over the difficulty of obtaining clean underclothing with primitive simplicity by not wearing any, while the lower orders wore coarse woolen garments that would Unqualifiedly the Best LEDGER : The De Luxe Steel Back New improved CURVED HINGE allows the covers to drop back on the desk N without throwing the leaves into a curved position. x Sizes 8 1-4 to 20 inches OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE Headquarters for Loose Leaf Systems .

Velvets, taffetas and richly dyed silks, such as those worn by the no bility and gentry, could not of course, be washed, and should any person of high degree be the possessor of a linen s"hirt it was a thing which was care fully made known to all his friends and relatives as being extremely la mode and a fit subject for congratula tion, but washed it never was for fear of injuring its pristine beauty.

Though you wander wild and wide. Still she trudges on beside. And beyond the foresf s end Fate will still your soul attend. New York Sun- NEW YORK; July 16. It seems that something should be done to put Annie Boyarsky, the 18-year-old Rus sian girl, obsessed with what psyscho logists term "maternal mania," out of harm's way and, at the same time, to prevent her causing anguish to moth ers by stealing their children. The girl has a mania for little children, whom she loves to "bemother." Hav ing no child of her own, she takes lit tle children that appeal to her ab normal motherly instinct, wherever she can find them and carries them off to pet. them and play with them until she grows tired of them. The girl has kidnapped several chil dren in recent years but in every case the child taken by her was returned and as no harm had been done, the girl with the "maternal mania'" was allowed to g- free. The other day she carried off a little girl of four years whose parents live in East New York. She . abandoned the child af ter a few days and since then every effort of finding the "maternal maniac" have been in vain. It is be lieved that she left the city, fearing to be punished for kidnapping the child. Amend State Constitution RALEIGH, N. C, July 16. The commission appointed to draft a set of proposed amendments to the con stitution of North Carloina met here today to consider the measures pro posed. Among the most important measures receiving attention, are those providing fr the initiative and referendum a compulsory school term of six month, a new system of taxa tion, prohibiting the formation of cor porations by special act, and allowing Bible reading in the public schools. .
