Some critics comjlaln thnt the archi
tecture of Athens Is monotonous, but
it is the monotony of pure and simple
taste, and none can deny the beauty
of the modern residences. Most of
them are constructed upon modern
plnns, especially in the interior, with
an idea of meeting the demand for
conveniences, and I ani sure that the

ATHENS, CITY OF MARBLE.
In the old part of the city the
streets are narrow, dirty, and the
odors rise to heaven. As I have al
ready told you in a previous letter,
the modern Greek peasant is not a
tidy person, nor is his wife, and the
street that passes his dwelling, the
house in which he lives and all his
surroundings are repulsive to the eye,
the nostrils and the sense of propriety.
WHY WAS IT DONE?
Judge Lowell is still in the race for
the nomination of governor at the
hands of the republican party. He
states he will not be out of the fight
until the state convention completes
its work of nominating a ticket.
The Umatilla county republicans
assemble in county convention to
morrow. They come to carry out what
has already been agreed upon. The
grand old party is very much -of a
machine these days. The people have
little to do with "working" it.
It does look as if the republicans
of eastern Oregon would not get to
gether in their effort to nominate an
eastern -'Oregon man for governor.
While they are quarreling over minor
matters the interest of eastern 'Ore
gon are neglected. The republicans
should get together on a candidate,
then the rest would be easy.
A public-spirited citezen of Eugene
is contemplating erecting a "first
class hotel" at a cost of $35,000. Just
as well attempt to build an up-to-date
steamship for 30 cents. A first-class
hotel in a town like Eugene cannot
be built for less than $75,000, and it
would not net 3 per cent on that
amount of money. First-class hotels
in small towns are not good invest
ments for the owners. They are the
poorest form of real estate invest
ments, but they are splendid things
with which to advertise a town.

It Is stated that the ultimate object
of Prince Henry's visit to the United
States was to bring about an agree
ment by which Germany will be per
mitted to maintain a large fleet in the
Carribbeah waters to serve for the
protection of the German settlers and
the property rights of German sub
jects imnerlled bv the fremifinr r-i
volutions of the little South American
republics. In other words, Germany
is anxious to get a foothold on Ameri
can soil with Uncle Sam's consent.

to be borne In mind if we are to con
tinue to avoid "entangling allianc

President Roosevelt informed the
Boer representatives the other day
that the United States could not as
sist the Boer cause in any way.
Judging by the tenor of the late news
the Boers are not in any particular
need of assistance. In short, that
they are able to take care of them
selves. The cause of republicanism
is still alive in South Africa. The
great British empire is not making
much headway in Its imperial poll-
cles in that country, People who
fight for Independence for themselves
and their country are not easily sub
dued. The Boers have richly won the
right to be free and govern them
selves, without the meddling of Eng
land or any other country in the gov
erning business.
sary to make the grade, and it could

The use of marble and white stucco
gives modern Athens an appearance
of neatness and beauty, which there
is no soot to deface. The dust is
very bad, however, when the wind
blows. The streets are unpaved and
the soil is a clay that moistens into
mud or dries into dust very readily,
and a waiter always stands at the
door of the hotel with a feather dus
ter to brush off your boots. One of
the streets is named Tn honor of Aeo-'
lus. the god of the winds, but he does
not confine his attentions to that
thoroughfare. Down in the old part '
of Athens is a well preserved octagon-'
al structure of marble called the Tow
er of the Winds, and one might sup
pose that it was the place where they
originated, but the name seems to
have been given me-ely because it
was surmounted by a weathervane.
The tower was built about 100 years
before Christ by Andronlkos. of Syria,
so an inscription tells us, as a com-'
plimnt to the city of Athens, and was
adorned with a sun dial and a clock
that was run by water power in some
ingenious manner, but the exact plan
of its operation is not understood by '
modern mortals. An aqueduct sup
plied a cistern and the cistern fed ma-'
chinery too complicated for modern t
horologlsts to comprehend.
The streets leading east from the
Tower of Winds enter a depression in
the side of a hill Inclosed by a wall
which was formerly the site of a
school called Diogenes, the famous
cynic in the third century before
Christ.
