G THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1912 MR. OABNEY WRITES OFTRIP ABROAD t ( ' til Inuvil frcin last week! At Ihi entrance to Clenna Hay we Mopped at I tiana cottage ami visited the pretty nard. mis with many tropical flowers and plants, and the many -riiliarly shaped rocks and trees. From here we went to Kosg Castle, ery in tereMing old ruins, and here, too. the teams we Btarted with In the morning met and took us to our several hotels. There are many interesting trips one ran make in the vicinity of the Killarney Lakes and one should not overlook a visit to the ruins of Muck Koss Abbey, built in the 14th century. From Killarney we went to Kinss town, from where we crossed the Irish channel to Uoliyhead. Chester was a stopping place of much Interest. It is located on the Kher Iee and has a population of 4.".. Oim. Here many remains of Roman occupation may he seen, and at one time it was the frontier fortress against Wales. Much of the old wall is in a good state of preservation. Some of the principal streets are excavated down many feet below the surface and the roadway is far below the range of stores and shops, over which passengers walk in naileries which they call rows, and on these rows are stores and shops. It is in the upper row that the better class of them can be found. They are cur ious and access to them is by steps at convenient places. Helow the lower of the cells may be seen the old Ro man baths. The most of the buildings have ornamental gablp fronts, and rows are arched crypts, and in some look very odd. As we wander from one place of interest to another our guide pointed to a house called "God's Providence House." and said it was the only house in the city that escaped the iestilence during the great plague. We are now walking around on some of the old wall, and have come to Phoenix Towers, which is now used as a small museum, and I read on a tab let near the top of the tower (which is about 20 feet high I : "King Charles stood on the top of FRUIT GROWERS Take Notice!

The cathedrals and castle were of much interest. Katon Hall is a beau tiful palace. Visiti Shakespeare- Birthplace. Stratford is a quaint old city of I", Oi'O On account of so many tourists, it was impossible to get hotel accom modations, and after a considerable time we procured rooms in the Quar term.un. a private boarding house across the street from the old Shake spearian Grammar School, which is still in operation. The house in which Shakespeare was born is on Uenly street, surrounded by small stores and shops, and in entering the house one passes through the living room, floored with unsipiared and much worn flag stone, and ascend the oak stairway to the little low ceilinged room where he was born. The ceiling, walls and windows are covered with the names of many noted people, and among them 1 noticed those of Scott, Carlyle. lSyron and many other familiar his toric names. The Shakespeare memorial building contains library, picture gallery, cen tral tower and theatre. The picture gallery contains many scenes and characters of Shakespear ian times. The theatre will seat about looo people ami the stage is about 50 feet wide and 45 deep, and is open for the performance of the Shapespear ian plays during the week in which his birthday occurs and through the tourist season. The old Trinity Church is a little farther down the street, and in enter ing it one passes through an avenue floored with flagstone and studded on each side with overhanging lime trees, whose leafy branches occasionally ad mit streaks of sunshine. The church and the inside adornments are beau tiful. In one corner a marble slab marks the resting place of the great poet.

Then is an old-fashioned sawmill located on the river bank. It has been in operation more or less for 200 vears. 'and the many knotted, gnarled and 'crooked logs and poles are awaiting their time to be cut into lumber by !the crude machinery. If the owners of this mill could see our modern mills' and the material they are cutting. It would be an eye-opener to them. Anne Hathaway' Cottage. A trip to Stratford is not complete without a visit to the old cottage of Anne Hathaway at Shotting, a mile and a half away. On going to it one crosses the old path many times trod by Shakespeare In his earlier days while courting his "best girl." The building is a half timbered one. covered with thatch, and is a very good specimen of the early English farmhouse. The old furniture, such as it is. is still in the house, including a crude oak bench about four feet long, wtih a high back, setting before the fireplace, and said to have been used by Shakespeare and his sweet heart during their courtship. Adjoining the house is a beautiful floral garden, and from it one may procure a bouquet of sweet scented flowers. Oxford Is Visited. Our next place of interest was at Oxford. It is located on the Hiver Thames. ."0 miles from London. It has a population of fio.ooo and is the great est college city in tne world, with 4S colleges and an annual attendance of 10,000 students. The first college was founded in S72. or 22S years later than the first at Cambridge, and in some of them the architecture is about the same, but the more modern are beau tiful structures. The Lincoln College is where John Wesley attended and it was in the chapel where he commenced his preaching. The I'niversity Press printed the first Oxford Bible in 1075, and is now printing and turning out more than i,0ut,0iN copies annually. Here, too, one may visit some very old churches. One of much interest is the St. Peter's-in-the-East. It is an old one and is where Cromwell attended. From it there is an underground passageway nine miles long. From Oxford we went to Windsor, a pretty little city of 10,000, 3 miles from London, and also located on the Thames. Windsor is the greatest and oldest occupied castle in Europe. It covers about 13 acres of ground and is splendidly fortified by strong walls and great towers. It has been the home of all the kings and queens of England, and here, too, many of them are buried. Not far distant from the castle is the Eaton College, which is considered one of the greatest universities in the world and has a membership of 100O young men and boys. The old chapel connected with it is of considerable interest. From here one should not miss a drive out through the beautiful coun try to Stake Poges Church and wan der for awhile through the old church yard and sit under the great spread ing branches of that old yew tree which is more than 900 years old, and under which Gray wrote that famous lioem, "The Country Church Yard." Near the east end of the church he is buried. On the floor of the tower Is a large square pew, constructed by the Penn family more than loo years ago. and used by them. The carpet is still on the floor and the ten chairs are in their original places, but the occupants have long since gone. The old Penn mansion stands about 200 yards from the church and is a beautiful country Beat. Gray's monu ment stands 1mj yards outside of the churchyard near the public road, and may be seen by the passerby. "Beneath those rugged elms that yew tree's shade, Where heaves the turf in many moulding heap, Each in his narrow cell forever laid The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep." Brighton is the great seaside resort of England. It is a beautiful city of nearly 125. 0u0 people.

From Brighton I went to the quaint old city of Canterbury, which is lo cated on both sides of the Hiver Stour. It is tiO miles from london and seven or eight miles from the gea. It is per haps one of the oldest cities in Kn is land. It is said that its foundation was as far remote as that of Koine. It has withstood the ravages of war and has enjoyed the privilege of peace and plenty. Some of the streets wind and cur.'e around like so many cow trails; some are so narrow -that one can al most shake hands with his neighbor across the street froTn the upstairs window.

Many noted people are buried within its walls. On the western side of the cathedral is the old Norman staircase, untouched except by the hand of time. At one time it led to a large room for the re ception of pilgrim Only the keep of the old castle and some of the wall that surrounded it cau be seen. It Is now used for stor nig coal. Dover was our next place of Interest. It is also a very old, tiuiet place of 40.000 people, and one of the best for tified cities in Kurope. lover Castle stands on a high hill, overlooking hills, valleys and the beautiful bay. The streets, like those in many other Kng lish cities and towns, are winding and narrow. Department of Chemistry Experiment Station The GILBERT IMPLEMENT COMPANY, Hood River, OregonAttention Mr. C. F. Gilbert Gentlemen : The sample of Bean's Arsenate, sent by you a few days ago to this laboratory, has been analyzed by my assistant, Mr. R. H. Robinson, Iwi th results as follows: Moisture . . . 45.57 Total arsenic oxide (AS205) 13.06 Total lead oxide (PbO) . 37.37 Water soluble lead oxide (PbO) none Water soluble arsenic -oxide (AS 205) 0.15 The examination indicates the sample of good quality and the ratio of arsenic oxide to lead oxide indicates that it is a neutral or0rtho lead arsenate. Trusting these results may be of interest, I am, Truly yours, PRICES? The harbor is crowded with boats, ships, etc., loading and unloading all kinds of commodities. From here many ships arrive from and depart for foreign countries. Embark for Belgium. Here we boarded a Belgian steamer and crossed to Ostend, Belgium, a dis tance of tii miles. The water in Dover Straits is very choppy and one is liable to become sick almost before he real izes it. I) n leaving the English coast the view Is splendid, looking back over the blue waters and at the surf dashing up against the white, chalky bluffs whose sward is like emerald, and dotted over with pretty groves and great white mansions. Immediately on arrival at Ostend all baggage is examined by customs offi cials. Here we found conditions dif Corvallis, Oregon, April ferent from any place we have been. It was almost impossible to dud one who could either speak or understand hardly a word of Kngllsh, and to one unaccustomed to traveling among peo ple who siieak a different language it makes them feel quite awkward at times. Ostend Is a beautiful city and very cleanly. It does quite a commercial business, besides being one of the fashionable seaside resorts of Euro', and more than 1O0.000 people gather there through the summer season. The sea wall, nearly 40 feet high and 100 feet wide, extends along the beach for miles and forms a good promenade. (To lie continued) Lime and Spray Kelly Bros., phone 227-M. OF LEU 30, 1912
