THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX,' PORTLAND, JULY 14, 1907. r A Rourth of July on Davenport's Farm Emilic Frances Bauer Tells Her Experience oi a Day Spent as Guest of the Famous Cartoonist NEW YORK, July 8. Special corre spondence.) "How did you spend the Fourth?" Is the general term of salutation this -Reek. This column has very decided opinions on the subject of patriotism vs. the Fourth of July. These opinions are born of an over weening reverence for the day, what It stands for, what It should represent, and what It has become as wlelder of death, destruction, and last, although perhaps least Insufferable noise. The noise was here, all Tight, July 4, 1307, so were the fireworks and the rest of It, but the scribe was revelling in Morris Plains far from the din of hot Now York, delighting in Oregon remin iscences and a tour through the Daven port farm, noted from ocean to ocean. Small wonder that here Homer Daven port Imbibes the Inspiration that makes his one of the great names of the time. No man could be closer to nature, no man Is more part and parcel of that na ture than Is this great-hearted, great minded man who is an Oregonian through and through and who is as devoted to the Incidents and details which marked his boyhood Interests as he Is to the culmi nation of his life's desires his recent trip to and his acquisitions from Arabia, Persia and Syria. One's admiration is not aroused In the mere hearing Mr. Davenport tell of all the beauties, both of nature and of spirit, fascinating though this be, It Is rather In an absolute conviction that he lived and lives all those beauties and that they have permeated him and have entered him never to depart again. A man who has In his own profession shown himself a keen reader of the weak nesses and foibles of human nature is frequently, and not without cause, a cynic, but no man who has shown such wonderful sympathy and understanding of animal life can be afflicted with that dash of bitterness. To realize the dimension of Mr. Daven port, one must see him In the midst of his creatures, surrounded by his horses and such specimens his dogs, his pigeons and fancy fowl of every kind; one must realize the affection in which his charm ing children hold these dumb creatures and what spirit has been Inculcated In them by life In the heart of nature. I was permitted a few chapters from several of Mr. Davenport's literary under takings, and It is perfectly certain that he has that subtle turn of the pen which Is absolutely at one with nature Itself. In his treatment of his travels, Mr. Davenport has written In a vein that needs no illustration, and he has Illus trated In a manner that requires no ex planation by pen the combination is cer tainly powerful and one might believe that this noteworthy Westerner has only made half of his reputation, great as that half may be. The Fourth of July on the Daven port farm was celebrated by every horse with each colt, every pigeon, every peacock, every duck, although U Is doubtful that the ducks enjoyed the fireworks as much as was expected of them. Judging from the disturbance in the water every time a rocket went off. Mr. Davenport and his party con tributed to the realistic effect of a remarkable celebration given by H. H. ' Topakyan, Imperial Commissioner of Rambles of a Portlander in the Flowery Kingdom F. S. Doernbecher Describes a Delightful Sojourn in Japan BY F. S. DOERNBECHER. WE LEFT Seattle February 17, on the Great Northern steamship Dakota, and passed the two weeks of the voyage pleasantly among unusually congenial companions. We first saw the shores of Japan Sunday, March 8. after an uneventful, but rather rough trip. We remained In Yokohama about a week awaiting the disposition of the Great Northern Company regarding ar rangements for continuing our trip. Yokohama is the chief seaport of Japan and has a very beautiful harbor in which may be seen not only the trading ships from all over the world but the naval squadrons of many lands. Our own Colorado and West Virginia appealed to us especially. The native part of the city Is poorly built, the houses small and of wood. Most of the foreigners live on the bluff from which they have a fine view of the city and harbor. Yokohoma has a race club which is a source of much Interest at the time of their an nual Spring meets. We enjoyed attending for it gave us an opportunity of seeing the whole city out in 'gala attire. Many high-class1 Japanese were present and some of the Imperial household, although the Mikado himself did not attend as he sometimes does. The race club overlooks the beautiful Mississippi Bay, a charming objective point for a drive or Jinricksha ride. We went In jinrickshas and It was a marvel to us as to every one else what wonderful endurance the coolies have. They trot along at a pace at which a foreigner would not drive his horse for the same distance. They are queer little animals and at first it Is hard not to keep thinking that they are human beings and one should save them whenever possible, but soon we become accustomed to the way of the land and do not think often of relieving them by walking. We left Yokohoma by rail for Kobe where we took the Pacific mall ship 6iberia for the remainder of our trip south. The railroads are like everything else in Japan, little. They are narrow gauge, the locomotives are small, only about one-third the size of ours. The passenger coaches have two long seats and all the luggage Is pifcd up In the middle of the car, making it perilous to do much walking about when the train 1b in motion. Our Journey of about 15 hours was rather monotonous. ' After leaving Kobe we made the trip through the Inland Sea to Nagasaki and on to China. Hongkong was the terminous of our trip and we remained there two weeks. There was much difficulty in securing re turn passage on account of the disaster to the Dakota. The early Spring Is a very busy time in Hongkong as so many people want passage on the steamers for America. The round-the-world tourists are leaving India at that time, as are also the English soldiers who are going home, and many people leave the Philip pines at this season. . Hongkong is a British crown colony and naval station. It is an island, a mountain out in the sea. The vegetation is quite tropical in appearance and very profuse. The shipping of the whole world is to be seen in the harbor. It is a free port and the wares of the Occident and the Orient meet there for exchange. The shopping is most Interesting. One long street. Queen's Road, is lined, with shops, each more fascinating tha'nthe other, and when one has finished there, there are still the native shops to be visited with an Interpreter and guide. The rlchshas of Japan give way to sedan chairs in Hongkong, and although there Is more jolt and Jar It is by no means an unpleasant way to travel about. For short distances In the city only two coolies axe required, but tot longer trips the Shah of Perela at the Chicago World's Fair. Mr. Topakyan with his family have just acquired a new home In Morris Plains, and he Invited about 50 or 60 guests for a Persian bousewarming. Among: the notables invited were Chebik Bey, the Turkish Minister, General Morteza Kahn, the Persian Envoy, and members of their suites. There were also some notable Americans, including Dr. Brlttom D. Evans, the noted alieniet, whose testi mony in the Thaw case brought Into existence the "brain storm" and Its possibilities. Mr. Davenport and his party arrived at "Persian Court" as the new home has been named clothed In the splendid robes which were pre sented to him during his visit In Per sia. Not less striking than the robes themselves were the superb Arabian steeds which fairly flew through the delightful roads of Morris Plains which lead from the Davenport farm to Per sian Court. Behind the carriage con taining .Mr. Davenport's party and driven by himself, was his Arabian man Said gorgeously attired in the garb of his country and mounted on one of the most magnificent of Mr. Davenport's possessions. The guests were treated to an Oriental barbecue. A lamb or rather three lambs were the offering. These were stuffed with rice, all sorts of spices and livers and cooked, as the lamb Is slowly roasted. There were green peas, Persian cheese, Persian bread, strawberries and water melon to say nothing of the Persian wines, Turkish llquers and other deli cacies of that nation. The host and hostess were most gracious and seemed to enjoy the company no less than the company enjoyed their unique hospi tality. After the barbecue we returned to the Davenport farm and spent the rest of the day visiting Mr. Davenport's wonderful collection of birds and ani mals. Those who are instituting a crusade against the Nature "fakers" would have had food for thought at some of the exhibitions of intelligence, no less than at many of Mr. Daven port's stories. The fireworks with which the eventful day was brought to a close were rather more strenuous than original plans called for. The sparks from a Roman candle dropped Into the box which contained the fiery treasures and resulted in the fireworks all exploding at the same time and re sulted In an exciting race between the rockets and the guests who fled In all directions, accompanied by musio from the duck pond. Among the Oregonians assembled upon this occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Geer, and Miss Musa Geer, of Silverton, cousins of Mr. Davenport, now residing In New York. Monday night was a memorable one at the Casino the performance being especially - brilliant to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the opening of this popular playhouse In which most of the great stars have made their successes. In addition to "Fascinating Flora," Gus Kerker, who has composed many of the Casino suc cesses conducted the orchestra which between the acts played a selection from "The Queen's Lace Handker chief," the opera with which that house was opened 25 years ago. Among those present were Lillian Rus sell, who ocupied the stage box, Anna Held and her party ocupied the box three or four according to the distance and the number of hills. From jkongkong we made the trip to Canton on a river steamer leaving in the evening, giving us a comfortable place to sleep and have breakfast. Canton is a city of about 2,000,000 inhabitants, many thousand of whom live in queer slipper shaped boats on the river. It fairly swarmed with them in the morning. Our guide met us with chairs for the party. It is the only safe way for foreigners to go Into the city. The place Is quite be yond description, for it Is so crowded and dirty. The streets are from six to eight feet wide and lined with buildings one or two stories high, the roofs of which near ly meet overhead, shutting out the sadly needed air and sunshine. Every moment of the day was taken up with sight seeing and shopping. There are lovely linens, silks and Ivories to be purchased. We saw pagodas, temples, city walls, etc., that were old long before a white man had ever set foot on American soil. Among the grewsome places we visited was the execution ground. The execu tioner showed na Siis big two-banded sword, and was quite anxious to show us some of the heads. It Is even said that for the payment of a small amount 1 Little Miss Borkadale, Wbo Ap . peared In m II coital. A young girl who has a prom ising future in the musical world Is the 13-year-old planlste, Ethel Barksdale, whose presen tation in recital at Murlark Hall the past week marked one of the chief musical events. - For the past five years Miss Barksdale has studied with Miss Marie Soule, and her musical progress is being watched with. Interest by many friends. The musical programme given at the recital by the young planlste was most artistically rendered, the technical feats of the various numbers taxing the strength as well as genius of a much older student. She was assisted by Miss Elizabeth Harwas, mezzo soprano; John Claire Montelth, baritone; Miss Daisy Chalmers, planlste, and Miss Florence Hollister, accom panist.. Miss Ethel leaves In a few days for a short vacation in the East, returning early to resume her studies, with the prospect of accompanying Miss Soule abroad at the end of the year. r 4 Mv 1 4 s 4 next to Miss Russell, while across the house ' was Peruglnl, long identified with the Casino, also with Miss Russell as her husband. There were an enor mous number of the profession present and there were letters and telegrams from many who were absent Including Pauline Hall and others. Mr. Schu bert Is responsible for the statement that over $10,000,000 has passed through the box office during Its exist ence. , The following is a list of the produc tions at the Casino since 1SS2 when, as above stated, it opened: 1883 "Le Grand Casimlr." with Mme.

The number of afflicted is appall ing, cripples and blind beggars being omnipresent. We were glad to get back to our boat and a clean, quiet spot. In the saloon of the boat is a stack of guns and also of swords, marked to be used In case of pirates. They used to be the constant dread of the river boats and they have by no means disappeared even now. We left Hongkong for Shanghai on the Aki Maru, where we spent a little more than a week. Shanghai has the largest foreign population of any of the cities and Is a beautiful place. One is im pressed even before landing with the many fine buildings. On inquiry several of the finest prove to be clubs. Shanghai Is the gayest city of those we visited. Entirely separated by a wall built about 1000 years ago Is the old native city of Shanghai. It Is said to be the dirtiest city in China, and although most Inter esting, it Is offensive. There is so much of poverty and disease. The Kasuga Maru took us from Shang hai to Nagasaki. The city Itself is of no especial Interest except as the place of the whole world to buy tortolseshell. It is the coaling station for most of the large ships. The thousands of tons of coal necessary to make tne voyage to the United States is loaded in a few hours. Bamboo ladders are placed from the coal barge against the side of the ship. Women stand on these ladders, many of them with their babies strapped on their backs, and the heavy baskets of coal are tossed up from one to the other. It is said that the coaling can be done more rapidly at the Japanese ports than any where else- Nagasaki has a fine drydock, where large vessels are repaired. We stopped a day at Mojl,- which is also a coaling station. Our next stop was Kobe, where we spent a couple of days. There are some beautiful waterfalls and a number of interesting temples. Kobe is one of the coming manufacturing towns, but has no especial interest for tourists. From Kobe we went to Osaka by rail road, about an hour's journey. It is the second largest city In the empire, and a manufacturing center. It has been likened to Chicago on account of Its pro- gresslveness and to Venice for its beauty. It is built on two banks of the river and on an island. There are many inter secting canals and over 1000 bridges. There still remains a very fine castle, al though the palace was destroyed by fire in one of the civil wars. The stones of the castle walls are of astonishing size. Surrounding the castle are the barracks of part of the army, and inside Us walls are the drill and parade grounds. We were attracted by the music of a band and when the soldiers saw that we were interested, they invited us in to listen. The leader had been trained in Europe and conducted his men admirably. They played music of foreign Btyle and did re markably well. A 40 mile ride from Osaka brought us to Kyoto, -probably the most inter esting city of Japan, and until 60 years ago its capital. There is a very small foreign population, mostly teachers in the unusually good schools of that city. Tourists find Kyoto the main shopping city. There are many fine curTos, bronze, damascene, pottery, porcelains, silks, embroideries, etc. The Mikado's places and Imperial villas may be seen if -permits are obtained through the foreign legations in Tokyo. The palaces though .not elaborate In exter nal appearances have exquisite decora tions and the work of many famous woodcarvers and artists may be seen. As we were in Kyoto during the cherry blossom season we saw the famous cherry blossom dance, which is given every night in April. The music is weird and melancholy, but the dancing girls are attractive in their brightly colored kimonos and elaborate stylo of headdress. We were two weeks' In Kyoto and found the time well taken up with sight-seeing In and about the city. Nagoya was our next stop. It is a manufacturing city and one which is not visited by many tourist but we found the porcelain factories well worth seeing, and the castle which Is In excellent condition Is a sight not to be missed. Between the Inner and outer moats of the castle are exten sive barracks and parade grounds. Ev erywhere In Japan we found the soldiers very much in evidence. We visited a Buddhist temple, Go-hyaka Rakan, which in itself Is of no import ance, but there Is a gallery behind It containing 500 Images of Buddha's chief disciples, mostly about two feet high and brightly painted,, all dif ferent. Some are smiling, some are solemn, some are fierce, some stupid looking, some lying down, some pray ing, one has three eyes, one with a gold halo bestrides a peacock. In Na goya we found quite an exposition of products of the place. Our next stop brought us to Yoko homa, which we made our headquarters for the rest of the time we were in Japan, making trips of a few days or a week to the places of interest In the north. We spent a most delightful day in Tokyo at their exposition with our Consul-General Mr. Miller and his in terpreter. We found a wonderful dis play of all- sorts of useful and orna mental articles. The size of the ex position was quite apalling. ,thelr av erage attendance being 70,000 a day. Tokyo, which has been the capital for about 60 years, is a very modren city with wide, well-paved streets, an up-to-date streetcar system, which con nects far distant parts of the city for a ridiculously low fare. It Is but little patronized by foreigners or the high class Japanese, as the cars are us ually crowded with the cornmon peo ple. The Emperor's palace stfcnds In the center of the city, within a double line of moats and on the site of a once famous Shogun's castle. There are many beautiful parks and some won derful displays of flowers, cherry blos soms, peonies, and wisteria In the use. the work magniflcant until you Spring. A popular Japanese proverb says, "Do not use the word maVnificent until vmi have seen Nikko." Nikko Is a double glory a glory of nature and a glory ui art. mountains, cascades, mnnn mental forest treets had alwv ntnn there. To these have been added many uu wunueriuiiy Deautirul temples and mausolea. The surroundine- hills wan a blaze of color as the azalea was In iuii oioom wnne we were in Nikko. We spent a few days at MlvannsMta one of the mountain resorts noted for the purity of air and the pretty walks in the vicinity. Mountain trips are made in chairs. We went to Lake Hakone, each of us having four coolies to carry our chairs. Across the lake we had a beautiful view of Mount Fuji, the sacred mountain. After a few days of final shopping and making preparations for the re turn trip we sailed from Yokohoma with only one ship to break the mo notony of sea and sky, we landed safe- NEW BOOKS AT LIBRARY Institution Offers Cool Retreat for Hot Summer Says.
