ly happy one. In every respect the match seems fortunate,
that is, as fortunate as a state marriage may be. It is good
as to ageg he is 25, she is 23. Good as to religion both are
Catholics. Good as to politics both nations were in the group
or the allies during the late war, yet the alhance creates no
regrouping of powers through
ties. It is good in meeting with

The business of being a king
many crowned heads have gone the way of turkey heads at
Thanksgiving. When it comes to marrying in royal blood it
is difficult for the princely matchmakers to effect desirable
alliances- oftentimes. The ranks of the eligibles have been
decimated by assassination and
llies.
The royal, houses of Italy and Belgium have scarcely
had the social standing of the Windsor-Hanover line in Eng
land and the Hohenzollern line in Germany or even of the
"Romanoffs in. Russia. But they at least have kept their heads
and their offices. The reigning house in Italy, the house of
Savoy, is one of the most ancient in Europe. Young Humbert
himself gets his name from the founder of the line, Hum
bert of the White Hand. This man was an exiled Saxon who
settled on the flanks t the Alps and by his personal prow
ess carved for himself, and his
voy, embracing country on both sides of the western Alps
and controlling the important
two passes of St, Bernard. That was back in the 11th cen
tury and the Savoyan line preserved its fortunes through
the years though surrounded
bors: France, Austria, Spain. In 1703 Victor; Amadeus, the
15th duke of the line, became king of Sicily which later was
traded for Sardinia, so the dukes of Savoy became the kings
of Sardinia though the family seat of residence continued
to be in the Piedmont. Crown Prince Humbert for instance
has his own residence in Turin. In 1861 Victor Emmanuel
II was crowned the first king of united Italy. His son Hum
. bert was killed by an anarchist in 1900. The present king,
Victor Emmanuel III. married Elena of Montenecro. so the
Saxon blood of old Humbert
well diluted by the time it gets down to the present heir
apparent to the Italian throne.
The Belgian royal house is of recent origin. After "the
Napoleonic wars Belgium was attached to the Netherlands.
The union was unsatisfactory so Belgium finally secured Her
independence with international sanction. The choice of a
king-finally fell on Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg. Leopold
had married Charlotte, daughter of GeorgeTV, king of Eng
; land. On her succession to the throne he would have become
the prince consort. But Charlotte died in childbirth because
Stockmar, the German physician whom Leopold had brought
with him didn't tell the bungling English doctors how to
handle the case. Too much "professional ethics" or political
caution. Charlotte's death threw the succession to William
IV and when he died Victoria became queen.
This little country of Saxe-Coburg made great contribu
tions to European royalty. Victoria's mother was from that
aJ4ountry, a sister oi leopoia, and .Leopold nimseii nad much
"o do with the training of his neice. When he went to Bel
gium as king he married Louise, the daughter of Louis
- Phillipe, then king of France. Marie Jose, the bride of this
week, is the great-granddaughter of this marriage. This
Saxe-Coburg country through Victoria established the reign
ing line in England, and through her became affiliated with
the royal houses of Russia, Germany, Rumania and Jugo
slavia, Marie of Rumania being a granddaughter of Queen
Victoria. And Saxe-Coburg was the native land of the Leo
pold who founded the Belgian dynasty. So it has made rather
important contributions to royal houses in spite of the sxnall
ness of the duchy. Now' of course it is swallowed up in the.
German republic
With so much intermarrying it is not surprising that
the lines of the blood royal are pretty much interfused in
European countries,- and with the dynasties growing fewer
in number through the succession of democracies the in
breeding will become closer still in the future. It is interest-
ing to know that Crown Prince Humbert and his bride may
both tjace their ancestry, back to Robert Bruce, the first
king of Scotland. This descent comes through Elizabeth
- Stuart, sifter of Charles I, king of England and Scotland.
-Democratic America wishes the royal Italian couple
well. We want no kings for ourselves, being satisfied with
industrial magnates and international bankers and flivver
and oil barons. But we dearly love to have royalty step its
paces in Europe; and anything so brilliant and spectacular
as a royal wedding stirs the deep interest of millions of ord
inary Americans. - '

How bis is Los Angeles?
It H
Paul S. Armstrong, assistant
general manager of the Califor
nia Fruit Growers' exchange, told
the Rotary club of Los Angeles
on Friday, January 2, at its reg
ular weekly meeting at the Bllt
more hotel, that only 265,000
acres are tn citrus fruit in all Cal
ifornia, and that "you could plant
every tree in the state in Los An
geles, and have room left."
,
A good deal of room would be
left. A Los Angeles isiend teUs
the Bits man that therefore 825
square miles of land in "Los An
geles; that is, 825 sections of 640
acres each. This means 400,000
acres of land in the city limits.
W
- In other words, 626 married
couples of the early immigrants
to the Oregon country might have
been accommodated with dona
tion claims in what is now Los
Angeles. Bay about four Apple
gate covered wagon trains of the
1843 immigration, which was the
first to come through with wag
ons; about 1000 men, women and
children being in that train.
But no 1842 Oregon immigrant
would have taken any part of the
Los Angeles townsite as a gift, to
say nothing of the whole of it.
For oar 1843 immigrants were
looking forearms, and the town
site of Los Angeles was a series
of sand dunes and more or less
barren hills.
The Salem real estate agent
who made the Hollywood subdivi
sion out on the SUverton high
way beyond the Oregon state fair
grounds, about 18 years ago.
Fred Bynon, nad been in Salem
before and had operated as a real
tor in Los Angeles for a time. And
he had the handung of the Holly
wood district there, and. owned
part ot it, and might have owned
all of it But things looked toe
slow for him in Los Angeles then.
and the Hollywood section was
too far out It was six miles from
the Los Angeles of that time. So
Mr. Bynon pulled up stakes and
came back to Salem, and, among
other things, divided up some
farms and made the Hollywood
district on the SUverton highway.
(The Hollywood section of Salem,
out fair grounds way. came sev
eral years t later.) Louis Bechtel
still in Salem, was associated
with Mr. Bynon in both Los An
geles and Salem.
"m "n "n
Now Hollywood, California, is
merely a part of Los Angeles.
You might direct a letter to Hol
lywood, Cal. and it would reach
Its properi destination; but It
would go through the Los Angel
es postoffice. Hollywood is now
one of the best business districts
of Los Angeles, and the residence
Drooertr out that way is choice
and high priced even running

had a lew feet of frontage on one

back of there, he would be a rich

In Los Angeles. The Hollywood
bowL Which is the place where h
great musical and other events
are held throughout the summer,
was started by a few public spir
ited women of that section. of the
city. Just a tew years ago'. It is a
natural amphitheater in the hills
just back of the main part of Hol
lywood. Now they have it fitted
with seats for 20.000, and they
accommodate 80,000 or more, by

part ot tho crowd standing or sit
ting on, the bins back of the seats.
It was done by public subscrip
tion; 'a dollar a throw,- or
something like that, and a dozen
or so rich people gave 81000 each
a little later. The Hollywood bowl
is capable of being made large en
ough to seat several times 80,
000, without great cost compared
to what it would be if nature it
self had not "prepared the bowl tn
the hills.
S
Tho city's Exposition park sta
dium can seat 70,000 or more
people some residents of the
city of the angels will' tell you
80,000, or more. But it is not big
enough. Including standing room,
for the crowds on great occasions.
So it is to be rebuilt, in the next
year or so, when it will seat 120,
000 people.
There is opportunity, on the
Leslie Junior high school grounds
In Salem, to arrange a bowl to
accommodate as many people as
the Hollywood bowl now seats,
without very great cost. And, with
reasonable expenditure, this
could in the future be extended
in size to have 120,000 seating
capacity, or more. The Exposi
tion bowl in Los Angeles belongs
to the city. The Leslie junior high
site belongs to the Salem school
district.
If Salem is to become the con
vention city it should be, better
arrangements must be made for
accommodating- large crowds J
many kinds of new things mu3t
be provided, including bowls as
well as auditoriums.
They are' to have a big state of
fice bnUding in Los Angeles, too.
It is to cost 82.SOO.000. The
county of Los Angeles is present
ing to the state of California the
arte. It is at the corner of First
and Spring streets, and has cost
the county 8724.824., The first
wing is to be started soon. If
Marlon eoutny had been askd to
giv to the state ot Oregon the
site of the state office building,
now being finished, no doubt a
few people, to say the least, would
have had something to say about
It. Perhaps even some of them
would have raised mild objec
tions. -
Mr. Armstrong, the fruit ex
change man guoted above, told
the Los Angeles - Rotary club in
the coarse of his talk: ''Fifty per
cent of the wealth of California Is
represented by ear agricultural
products, yet only 28 per cent of
the state-'B land is under cultiva
tion and only 8 per cent ot the
farm land is under Irrigation.
