Editor Courier; For the past two' , months we have made our home la one of the prettiest spots In the NYth W'tlniuK where we can wander In thej .pine wood- and can climb hills, i where the heal her grows and blooms. I Hiving, for a short season, much: beauty to the moors, which are quite abundant In this province. The vll-j lam or Velp (S000 inhabitants) is j ' unite a lively place In July and Aug- list, when many of the residents of j Amsterdam, the Hague and Rotter-j dam come to spend their summer vn! I cut Ion here and enjoy the beautiful j (walks and drives In this vicinity. The number of automobiles In use i here Is not large as compared with, the United Slates, but I have been !itunred by the number of bicycles t ( I be seen dally In city and coun'.ry, I ! for all classes still ride, some for! 'pleasure, some for exercise, while many wheels are used for quick de livery of various kinds of merchan dise, I rented a very good bicycle I fur $3 a month ami have enjoyed many n ride nlotiR the smooth, shady avenues that abound In this section of the country, for the roads were built centuries ago and are very well kept up. having bicycle paths nt the side. Here the people speak of cen turies as we do (lf decades. The bons, where we are Is fully 100 years old and one where we visited recent ly In Haarlem (near Amsterdam) Is over two centu'-ies old. The latter bouse faces a court and while com modious and well built, one of Its oddities Is that two of the upstairs rooms are two feet lower than the ball which leads to them, so that three Mens down bring you Into the room. In nearly all the towns and cities of 15,000 or more Inhabitants In Nererland are found cathedrals (In Hutch "Create Kerk") which were built from four to six cent ni b s ago by (lie Roman Catholics, but all of those In the northern provinces are now used by the Hutch Reformed church (the state church of the Neth erlands), having become government property when this country threw- off the yoke of Philip 11. of Spain, and of the pope at one and the same time, low ai ds the dose of the sixteenth c-Mituv. Helng In Haarlem over Sunday I attended service at the cathedral (All of them are built so i to form a cross), (inly the cen tral part of the building Is fitted up with pews, the pulpit box is built up about six of seven feet and is reach ed by a stairway, while over it is suspended a flat, octogonal sounding board, without which it would be very hard for the preacher to be by all, for the roof must be nearly 100 feet up. At one end of the cathe dral the chancel still remains, though never used, while a great organ fills the other end. Around the space used for services the floor is literally made of flat tombstones, three feet by seven feet, for until a century ago many of the nobility and of the mid dle classes were burled in the cathe drals. The inscriptions and carving on the majority of these stones are illegible because of the thousands of worshippers and visitors that have walked over them. Near k one wall I found a stone with coats of arms ela borately carved on It and perfect in scription, showing that father and son of an aristocrat family were buried these in 1716 and 1718. The Dutch Reformed church here still adheres to the simple service, con gregational singing, prayer, 45 mlnute sermon and two collections. The collections are taken during the sermon, which is divided in two parts, a hymn being sung between part one and two of the sermon. As soon as the benediction was pro nounced the men all put on their hats. We spent a week in Amsterdam, Haarlem and vicinity, and as the weather man was good to us we were able to visit many interesting places. Futhermore, we had the pleasure of seeing Queen Wilhelmlna and Prince Ilendrik and King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, as they drove through Amsterdam, The Belgian king and queen were entertained in Amsterdam by the Dutch queen and consort and there wa3 much festivity on their account. One evening they had several of the Dutch warships illuminated, which was a very pretty sight and of which I managed to get a good photo. Haarlem is the cen ter of the bulb culture and on a beautiful drive we passed several of the bulb farms. A trip by steamer from Amsterdam to the Island Mor ken in the Zuider Zee and returning via Volendam, Monikendam and from there through canals to Amsterdam, was very interesting on account of the quaint costumes worn by the fisherfolk of Morken and Volendam, but so many American and English tourists have visited there that they have become show places, and nt. Morken, when you step ashore, girls In costume greet you with 'Tost cards, very nice," and while going along the streets, ivhen they saw a kodak they would cry "photograph, photograph," and then expect you to pay for the privilege if yon took a snap shot of them. One of our most enjoyable side trips from Ilanrlem was to Aekmoor, a city of 20,000 people and famous for its cheese market, held there every Friday morning. Aekmoor Is well worth a visit because of its quaint, old buildings and pic turesque views along Its busy, clean canals, but when you add to this the cheese market, where the methods of buying and selling are the same as they were centuries ago. It makes the town intensely interesting, The cheeses are of the Edam type, hut not painted, so that they resemble huge oranges, The farmers bring them in Thursday nfternoon and Fri day morning, nnd arrange them in tiers, covering them with canvas till, nt the stroke of 10 o'clock, the mar ket opens. The center of attraction for visitors Is at the weighing hall. Here are four immense balance scales, weight master and assistants and four groups of off-bearers. The off-bearers are dressed In white, jwlth flat straw hats, yellow, red, irreen or blue (each group Its par ticular color) and they are the busy people. About 100 dieses are put on a rounded tray with projecting I handles at either end. Large straps I go around the men's shoulders nnd I loop over the ends of the tray I handles, and It Is amazing to see the Itfpeed with which two men carry their i load of at least 500 pounds, for they i are paid according to the amount I handled, nnd each group tries to make the best record. They go at ;a pace between n shuffle nnd a dog trot nnd people who get In their way are Jostled to one side without cere- The Oliver Plow Is the best Plow on the market and has proved to be the best for Rogue River Valley soils.
