T.Th American Circumnavigator of the globe and two thirds of the modem" circumnavigators of tha first oabln passenger variety are Americana f eela a . quickening- of tha heart when hi a ahlp drops anchor in Ma nila bay and be sees' floating- from a core of flagstaff s the Star Spang-led Banner. If he Is of a certain olaaa of American he will communicate hla Joy in a loud voice to .the entire ship', com pany. If ha la of another certain type of American ha will not aay anything, perhaps, but he knows that It la rood to be under the old flag. But of what ever type or class he may be, he will be surprised when he steps ashore to find, how thoroughly Americanised Ma nils has become. - Eleven yeare ago the TJnlted States knew only that Manila was the place the hemp came from, but where It waa or what It amounted to not one Amer ican In a thousand could tell. .There waa tne accident of war, Dewey's May day party, and Manila became American In name.

If the American traveler is not ex-; actly bubbling oven with patriotism after tha customs 'house and the street car ride, It wilt not be long until he will be ready to buy a bunch of. firecrackers and launch an individual Fourth of July celebration. The hotel-he goes to is no prepossessing, but all unbidden and without any apparent scorn on his faoe, the waiter brings a glaas of distilled water with actual ice in It -- . To him who has not known the taste of plain water for months, to him who has choked down Impossible " hygienic soda, vile bottled lemonade and bitter "tonic water," to him who has almost If not quite forgotten the appearance of Ire in a glass to- such a traveller the Manila distilled water and its Ice Is a godsend. Then, too, the breakfast begins- with fruit, is served as early in me muruiiiK uutj vnm w n, ii, and has no resemblance whatever 1 to the "meat breakfast' of the English colonies, that 10 o'clock dinner of a sen kinds of flesh. .. 4 , Also lemonade and Soda, At the Army and Navy club an American.- lata Trom India and China, asked for a "lemon squash." He knew that a rnaiiast for ' "lemonade" in the Orient usually brought forth A bottle of vile, sweet "soda pop," and he wanted real lemon Juice aqueeaed into a glaas, and?. there compounaea witn water ana sugar. The Chinese boy behind the bar looked upon that -American coldly and said: "You mean lemonade. JVe are Amer icans hare."

Not .one, but many of them. Drug stores have them, restaurants have them, and one realises at last that Manila, despite Its ancient Spanish monuments and Its peculiar Filipino architecture, is an American city. ' 1 - w Th. other nations do not understand. Why should one eat an ice between meals In a chemist. shop Is beyond the power of any son of John Bull to di vine. But the red-headed doctor from Belleville, III, who- had been traveling In China and Japan did not ask the rea son why. He went direct from the landing place In Manila to Clarke's soda fountain, where- he ordered and con sumed seven successive and consecutive chocolate nut sundaes at the first Bit ting, and then, in a slightly f rapped voice, buret into the street singing ''My Country 'Ti of Thee,". .

Of course, there' are American ahoes on ale in other oriental cities, but they have been made for export trade on English lasts and no American can wear them with comfort. -.

Manila, being a well regulated American-city, has a carnlvar each year. It is held in February, when the weather here is ideal, and tills year the people came ffom all over the Philippine.

They cams and had a royal time and left a char acteristic souvenir. They were es tounded that Governor General Smith met them and treated them aa it they, were -real human belnga, even though they were only edltora. No British governor general would so far forget himself. So when Martin Egan. the editor of the Manila Times asked them to edit his paper one day they accepted, declaring they would write editorials appreciating the great hospitality with which they had been received.-, f - Special Edition a Sad Mess. The Times ' came out that afternoon and struck Manila with dismay. Men threw it off the streetcars and "cus sed" the newsboys for selling It It didn't look like a newspaper. . The first page, .of course, was all advertisements. The second started off the same way, but In the third column came the "leader, Jollfewed by a doaen othor heavy editorials. Then there was tha news. No miserable reporter was driven to brain fag by being forced to write a.. ."smashing new lead" for the tenth day of the carnival. Not a bit of It. The head - Una was "The ; Carnival." Under that .In slightly smaller type was the second head: "The Program." The first sub-head was "10 a. m." and so on. It was the official program of tha carnival and being; official had to go Just as it waa"-. -....- . t, "Some of the Americans of Manila who read through the leader and the hf-avy editorials rolled up their sleeves and wanted to fight, but Martin Egan promised them it would never happen again and the British were saved.. There wasn't , anything offensive in - the edi torials, they merely expressed surprise that Manila was a civilised city after 10 years of American rule. In fact the editorials were Intended to be highly complimentary, but somehow or other failed to reach ' the Tankea comprehen sion of praise. .- ; ': -.-.. ,: ; . The Islands ook (rood. - - The American who haa not visited the Philippine Islands haPdly realises tha extent af the territory uncle Sam acquired 11 years ago by one of those accidents that are sometimes Inevitable, even in the best of segulated nations. After visiting the Island and "looking them over," and especially after having visited Manila and observed the trans formation that has resulted from Amer ican occupation, the aama American feels that nla country might have fared worse, although it could hardly have -one farther. The port of Manila Is more distant from" the United States than almost any other port for which tha American globe trotter sets sail.

According to a statement given The Journal today by Johnson Porter of PorT ter Brothers, contractors for the.

In explaining tne work being; .dons and planned for Mr. Porter said: - .. Kaa MM Might. "When X come down to Portland X am asked on avery side whether the Ore gon Trunk Intends to build Its railroad or la only bluffing. Such a question shows a total misconception of the sit uation on ths Deschutes. - . "Tbo Oregon Tunk has not only . the prior right but it had bought and paid for overy foot of Its right -of way for 110 miles, except on government land, and on that we have our mapa approved for all of It for that entire distance, Yin thi nthar hand. . the ODDOSltlOn have no right of way deeds at all, ex cept somi that they havs recently taken on top of ours, and they have approved maps on government land for less than one third of our distance. .And what approved right of way they have Is subject to our prior rights on the publio land.

But they can't camp on our right of way and hold up, the other side, too. - Kara Given Way. "I supposed ths people of Oregon wanted a railroad to the Interior, but if ao they have a queer way of showing it. A little while ago many of the prom inent men of the state were ready to Vote bonds and have the state go Into railroad building to open up central Oregon, but as soon as our maps were approved and we began to go ahead with our project, wa find some of the princi pal newspapera not only backing; up the holdup game of our competitors, but ac tually misrepresenting the facts and putting- every obstacle In our way. How ever, we are asking no favors, and we will build our railroad aa fast as men and money will do so. "Wo havs been annoyed by Injunc tions granted without a hearing, and we suppose this will be one of the dif ficulties we will have to overcome, but wo know that In the end the courts will protect our prior rights.

We have hardly got started yet, but when wo are In full swing we will set a record la rail road building. Wo will open six camps in the district between B lie rax' bridge and the place covered by the Injunction next week. We have to build some long wagon roads to get In, and our survey ors are now laying these out. "Wo will ship a good, deal of Our ma terial and supplies by - the-railroad to Dufur and work out a system of roads from there and from Tygh valley, wher ever we can find suitable grades to reach the river. , 8omo of these roads will be 10 or II miles long, so you can see that we have difficulties to over come) beside law suits and the knockers. - Material oa tbo Way. "We have several carloads of powder and machinery on the way, and have bought or rented, or will build store houses at such distributive points, like Shanlko, and Dufur, and Tygh Valley, as seem most convenient for our pur poses. ;. . . "The laying- out of the campaign la like - planning for tho moving of an army, and there Is a vast amount of pre liminary work that tho public does not see, but we are now spending several thousand dollars per .- day, and have everything moving la rood shape.

A noted Philadelphia doctor clalma that medicines have destroyed more lives than war, pestilence and fam ine combined. It is no wonder when you think of tha vast number of sufferers who dose themselves with poi sonous mixtures, no matter what the ailment. If you go into a sick room you will generally find th patient taking a dosen different kinds of dope. If he gets well, naturally he believes that the medicine cured him; if he dies tho doctor blames it on the disease. In many cases death la the result of drugging. r A sick or suffering person needs strength and vitality above all things. Instead of giv ing that, drugs tear down vitality faster than nature can build it up. That gives the dls-. ease a firmer hold .upon the victim.
