Mr, Drake Finds New Vegetables In
Italy, Seeds of Which Mo Will
Send to Bend for Trial.
Cam, Itnly, Jan. 14, 1908.
Editor The Bulletin: Hy a delay
ed mnil I luve just received a copy
of The IJulletiu announcing the
decision ot ho muny large milling
companies to establish their plants
ut Bend. White I had felt positive
of two or three there was doubt as
to the others, so I want to con
gratulate yon all on the prospect
Don't let the people get too exultant
over it and expect immediate re
sults lliut has been the greatest
trouble with the Iknd people
Things hoped for have been so long
deloed that they become impatient
and are npt to blame those who'do
not control events. The financial
troubles arc going to delay things,
but won't indefinitely postpone
them. I sincerely trust Iknd won't
suffer unduly and often wish I
could be there to help mitigate the
results of the stringency.
The receipt of the paper again
reminds we that I promised to
write you nil of our trip. Mrs
Drake was quite ill in New York
und several weeks after the arrival
ut Naples, so we have not moved
about much or done much sight
seeing. We left New York as
planucd on November 30 and had
a comparatively smooth passage.
About the seventh day out we
reached the Azores, but as there
wus no harbor or wharf and passen
gers have to go ashore in small
boats' the captain decided not to let
us ashore, since a squall was threat
ening and it was feared we could
not get back to the steamer. It
was quite tantalizing to be within a
few hundred yards of land, in sight
of the quaint Portugese city and
hills green with grape vines and
fruit trees after Icing keyed up in
anticipation. Our steamer was
surrounded by small boats with fruit
which did a thriving business with
tlic 3300 Italians we were carrying
back to Italy, the fruit being passed
up and money down in baskets
with ropes, while the small boats
bobbed abottt almost smashing
against the steamer in the rough
sea.
Three days later we . awoke in
the harbor at Gibraltar, under the
bin nuns of that great fortificatiou.
Around us were vessels from all
quarters of the glebe nud ull classes.
men ot war, torpcoo ucsiroycrs,
cruisers, colliers and liners of nil
nations. Alongside were crcat coal
docks, naval yards and the largest
dry dock in the world. Immedi

"Rockj" honeycombed with tunnels
and passage ways, with here aud
there an opening in the solid rock
from which n big gun projected.
Most of us were surprised to find
that tic rock did not divide the
waters of the Atlantic from the
Mediterranean but was entirely in
side around the comer, and that
the abrupt side we usually see in
the pictures, was not the side we
first see which is sloping, but is
the eastern side towntds Italy.
After a while we were landed by a
launch, aud put in the morning in
the curious little city mostly con
taining shops of Oriental and Moor
ish traders who do a thriving busi
ness with tourists of passing vessels.
We took a small cab holding five
of us and the driver, pulled by one
little pony, which Hauled us up
aud down the steep streets about
wide cuourIi for two to pass, and
without sidewalks. The streets
C resent scenes neverto be forgotten,
eing filled with people of all na
tions, color aud costume and jab
bering all languages.
We were disappointed at not be
ing allowed to see the fortifications
owing to a ueW regulation just in
force. It is said a large cavern
lias recently been discovered inside
the rock and a new strategic scheme
for defense is being inaugurated,
which England proposes to keep
secret from the world, aud they arc
connecting up the cavern which
will form a great store house, with
the different galleries and tunnels.
The rock is connected with the
main land of Spain by a neck of low
loud across which extends a strip
of iicutrnl territory about a thousand
yards wide, the English maintain
ing sentries to patrol their slue,
and the Spaniards others on their
side. At night the English ex
clude all the country people who
have .to cross the vacant neutral
zone back to Spain and the gates
arc closed till morning. The rock
is defended by a ganison of some
3000 men who arc constantly bcinu
drilled and exercised. There arc
also great work shops for naval re
pairs, hospitals, etc.
In the altcrnoon we again pro
ceeded on our way, two days later
passing Sardinia and the next day
reaching Naples in a pouring rain
with Vesuvious gloomy nearby
It surely was a foreign port. As our
numerous pieces of baggage came off
the boat they were seized upon by
porters nud carried under tlic cus
tom house shed and scattered all over
the place. Everyone was chasing
around trying to get his various
bcloog'ngs together for inspection.
No svstem and no order. 11 too
us about two hours to get our stuff
all together and then the inspector
passed it nil without opening a
single piece. Not so, however,
with the returning Italians whose
things were ransacked from c"nd to
end
After lunch at the hotel I went
down street in a street car with
some friends from the steamer,
when our experiences began. None
of us could speak a word of the
language. The car was divided in the
middle, one end belne first class and the
other second, and the rale depended on
the distance one traiels. ut course we
knew nothing of till, nor that only so
many arc allowed in the cata and so
many on the platform, and that people
arc invited to get off if there arc too
many, even in the rain. The conductor
came to us and said"Do ve!"Vc grinned
and handed him a five franc note,
and then the fun began. After talking
himself blue In the lace he deducted the
full tint clau fair for ut all to the end of
the line and gave up the job, most of
the passengers taking a hand in the talk
too. lie punched ionic little hole in
wme paper check and handed them to
ut. Then peace reigned until we came
to a place we thought interesting enough
to gel out, when all tfictl to remonstrate.

One of the things that has interested
me greatly is tlic fact that Naples and
the surrounding towns arc built up of
tufa stone,exactly the same material as
our soft rock at lleud. All the old

Manager Gates Confirms Report Re
garding Electric Power Plant.
Speaking of the electric power
plant to be built at Lava falls south
of Bend by the Prineville
Light & Water Co., the Review
says that Mr. Gates, manager of
the company, was in Prineville and
confirms the report. He recently
approacLed F. S. Stanley of the D.
I. & P. Co. and made overtures 19
him in regard to constructing such
a plant, the irrigation company
having a filing of seven-tenths of
all the water id the nver at Lava
falls. The Review further says: t
As Mr. Stanley is not in th
electric lighting business and Mr.
Uatcs never worries mmseit aoour.
irrigation problems, the two gentle
men soon reached an agreement,
and parted shortly afterward with
the understanding that the P. L.
& W. could acquire without in
terference a power site at Lava falls
provided it would furnish a 24
hour current to the settlers along
the ditch lines and to Uend, Laid-
law and Redmond.
Mr. Stanley of course has the in
terests of his segregation and its
settlement at heart, while Mr. Gate?
is actuated by the appalling annual
wood bill, which now amounts tq
$Sooo with no prospect of ever get
ting lower.
The line will be approximately
50 miles long and cost for copper,
poles and fixtures about $10,000
per mile. The generating- station
will contain two 1000 horsepower
alternating-current generators, and
the building will cost complete with,
equipment, $100,000.
One hundred and fifty thousand
dollars is a whole lot of coin to ex
pend on a lighting plant, hut by
serving all the western part of the
county Mr. Gates figures that the
investment will pay at least 4 per
cent, and maybe 4, from, the
start. The project will be a great
aid to settlers along the canals, for
as well as lights the farmers will bo
supplied with motor power for
grinding, electric fiatirons, etc.
