It lan't ou record that the seven leau years In Kgypt were not adapted for outings anil garden parties. There have been no more than two Inches of rainfall here from July to January The ('alifornians are apprehensive lest the hay like the rainfall may be short. But lt Is tine, nevertheless Fresh tomatoes, strawlerrles and other small fruits are In the market Since there Is no charge for feasting the eyes, we sometimes stand at a distance and look at them; Imaglnu tlou supplies the flavor. I ne San v ranclsco newspapers would wem to be In a conspiracy to Ignore California's northern sinter state. For three days following the November elections we searched In vain for election returns from Ore gon. The city paiers gave the re ports from all the other stales, and we began to wonder If Oregon Is only a dream. A copy of the Orego. uian received later announced that Oregon had gone Democratic; then we knew Oregon Is a reality. Hut Oregon Is not on the map Iti the San Francisco newspaper oflices. And the earth trembled. At 4:13 o'clock a. m. Dec. the shingles on the roof Itegau to rattle, the rafters to creuk, and the house to shake vio lently. It was an earthquake, the Californlans say the heaviest since the big temblor. No damage was done. The shock lasted about fif teen Mivonds. Five seconds after lt hail ceased, Mrs. Oibsou had formed a determination to return to Oregon on the first train. Later she recon sidered nnd consented to stay until the end of the school year. We are Interested In and pleased with the progress In Hood Klver. The people of Ho ld Klver are gener ous In all tilings, not least In gratu itous suggestions. Permit us to In dulge the common tendency. At a distance Hood Klwr seems to need to do some things. What? Estab lish n public library, erect a V. M. C, A. I uildlng with a great swimming pool In the basement, pave and light the streets, hypnotize the water trouble, harmonize the factions and chloroform the disgruntled. Hood Klver Valley appears well, both from a near view and In the distance In the past we have as serted with some emphasis that It Is the finest spot of country we have ever seen: and still we say with In creased force that It Is the garden spot of America. Mr. Campbell, of Palo Alto, has leeoine Interested In the I'pper Hood Klver Valley. We have ben doing w hat we could to give him a correct Impression of the country, nnd he Is strongly Inclined to to to Hood Klver. It Is easy to commend the Hood Kiver country, since such glowing account w ithin the hound of truth are possible. With a soil richly responsive to culti vation, with rivers deep, broad, si lent, majestic or noisy, dashing, splashing, foaming; with verdant mountains and snowy peaks. It Is a mniriiUii'riit locality. And ancillary to all this Is the Hood Kiver spirit. lt. K. (illl.MON. Idaho Man Squelched A Hood Klver man, who had occa sion to attend a convention of Y. M. C. A delegate recently held at Eu gene, tell about an Idaho delegate who wa present and who was hold ing forth on the superiority of the fruit from that state. Finally he re marked: "Yes, Idaho, grow the finest applo In the world." "If that I so," a McMinvllle delegate quietly asked, "how Is It that Hood Kiver and Oregon take all the prizes'.'" It I related that the silence that fol lowed wa painful.

He was recently crowned with appropriate cer emonies, and lt la expected that he will gradually make many changes iu the government of bU laud. ll luis been well trained, and so far as edu cation goes he la fitted to become a ruler who will be a great help to his people. He la an Interesting character In many wnys, combining as he does the progresslveuess of the west with the superstition of the east. He i.s entire ly different from the men who have ruled Slam before him, though his fa ther, the late King Chulalouijkoru, was himself progressive and a believer In education. Dissatisfied with the schools In hi owu land, be sent his eldest son, destined to succeed him, to Eng land aud Germany to be educated. After siKMidlng beveral years under a prlvute tutor and In studying British tnllltury methods at Sandhurst the fu ture king passed a creditable examina tion and was admitted to Oxford uni versity, where he was graduated with honors. HI success so pleased his father that ten of his stepbrothers were sent to England, where they went through Eton. After finishing his education in Eng land and Germany the future king vis ited the United States and studied po litical and commercial conditions here. He was particularly pleased with the school system of America, and he de clared that some day his country should have similar advantages. It Is believed that the first reform the new king will attempt will be to establish schools In Slam. While he was In this country the future ruler spent some time at the world's fair In St. Louis, where he was a close student of exhibits. With the exception of a few schools In Bangkok, the capital, education In Slam Is now entirely In the hands of the priests, the boys going to the tem ples for instruction between the ages of eight and thirteen. The teaching Is most inadequate and elementary. By the precepts of the Jf if lVf KINO CHOWFA OF SIAM. Buddha no money is accepted, but the pupils are obliged to dig lu the temple gardens, do other labor or make pres ents to the priests Instead. Girls, If they are not taught by their brothers at home, receive no education. King Chowfa Is twenty-nine years old. He rules over about 10,000,000 persons. ti.um.0iK) of them being Iu SUuu proper. He speaks several lan guages aud is familiar with the work of the best British, American, French, German and Siamese authors and has written several books and plays that were favorably received. He has ap peared on the stage as an amateur aud has shown ability that would enable him to make a living as an actor If lt wero necessary. A little less than Ave years ago King Chowfa created quite a stir in literary circles of France when he published an Interesting volume telling in quaint but charming style the mysterious and curious folklore of his native land. About the simie time several of hi dramatic productions were staged at Budapest nnd attracted much atten tion, not solely lnvause the young mon arch flutshed his education In that city, but because of their merit. The new king of Slam knows every movement of the intricate British and German military tactics. He has mas tered the science of soldiery to the last letter, for not only has he studied at Snudhurst, but he has been a cadet at Potsdam ami has lceii attached to the Durham Light Infantry at Alder shot. King Chowfa operates a typewriter with the ease of an exHrlenced ste nographer. He was pleased with the flrat machine lie saw as a youngster and ordered one made especially for him with a keyboard of Siamese char acters. The old King Chulalongkorn was so pleased with tin Idea and to tickled that his son had caused the Inaugura tion of the Siamese typewriter thut he ordered all manuscripts presented at court to be written In this manner. It was not long before the typewriter became much used In Slam. 1 t 1 FIRE AND MURDER PLANNED AT SHANIKO A plan to set fire to building In Shantko In order to collect Insurance thereon wa discovered by citizens of the town yesterday and steps were: Immediately taken to prevent the consummation of the plan, says the1 Shantko Star, and continues: j "The devil that planned the town's destruction Intended to commit mur- j der In furthering hi hellish design.! ' Iu the hearing of four witnesses he only hesitated from carrying out the plan because of having a trade on hiind and expresses compassion for the live of horses In a nearby barn. "Insurance cancelled on the build ing Involved also serve to take away the Incentive, but the firebug says: ' If we start anything we will go through with It." Special watch men have been employed privately to watch. "John Kellam, formerly a restaur ant man lu Shantko, and who now conducts a lodging house, last Tues day conspired to set fire to the lodg ing house lu order to recover a por tion of the Insurance money. Jack Brown, an employe of The Star, was approached by Kellam and offered $luo if he would set fire to the lodg ing house. Brown .lid not give him a definite ntiswer to his proposition and suggested a later meeting. Last night Kellam wus Invited luto The Star ollice where Messrs. Fowlie, Courtney, Howell and the editor were concealed by Brown' urrange inetit and he reiterated hi former statements, but said he would call the deal off until he found out whether a proposed sale on the build ing went through or not. Kellam said: "If the sale goe through It will be all right, but If lt doe not we will go through with the other proposition and if we start we'll go clear through The Insurance com panies are hard to deul with, but I don't propose to lose out. My share of the Insurance money will start us Iu a bowling alley In Bend, and I'll see you don't lose any thlug If we do have to pull this off. It would take a week or 10 days to collect the In surance and then they might cut it down, but If I fail to make the sale the first frame-up goes." "When Kellam first approached Brown the proposition was put Iu this way: Brown was to go over to Kellam's room and In the adjoining room a gasoline heater wa to be In stalled and Brown on the night ar ranged, had only to cut the wire leading to the heater. When the oc cupant oiild attempt to generate the heater an explosion would fol low. No particular room was men tioned and it was evidently Imma terial w hether It was a stranger or one of his frleuds t ha t wa to be In the room at the time of the explos ion An explosion would be sure to follow and there would be no possl- j ble chance for t he party In the room ! ever getting out If the scheme had! gone through. "If a fire had been started accord ing to the arrangement there can be no question but what all the build ings in the block wouM have been destroyed. Including Keliihart's ho tel and saloon, Flanagan' livery barn and jewelry store. The Star ollice, O'Neil Brothers' wholesale house foul n in! oi I it eil 1 v f.,inlv' w ii rehouses and theO W-.
