AND LIFE IN NAVY
Arthur )errv, chief vocmnn t'nilcd
States nuvv, formerly citv editor of
the Medford Sun. writes as follows
from Trickle. Austria, under duto of
January 11, to the editor:
"Since saw von lust October I
have looked upon some of the wonder
snotti of earth I'nrmmu Canal nnd
Gibraltar, rode out a 100 mile per
hour gale in mid-Atluntic. and en ten
about 02 per cent of the nvailuble
beans on hand, besides traveling 20,
000 miles as the crow flies. It hue
been educational, at times thrilling.
and generally cniovuble.
At Gibrnltur un English barracks
town with n Spanish populution, one
comes to the sensible conclusion, that
nbout u square foot of anvwhere in
tbo V. S. A. is worth all of Europe.
The age of evcrvthinir is oppressive,
nnd from the looks of things thev arc
not quite us progressive as Ashland,
lite is very dull to the natives. The
leading industry is bcei::nsr old wo
men und kids do the beirgimr. and I
am told that quite often the men folks
in a lit of energy co alms seeking
when business is rushing. All I saw
howover were laving around in the hot
sun smoking eicarcttes. or lined up
against a wnll. a lu Xash, the tirst
wu.-iu spring dav in the vnllev. The
Knilifli still cling to the ensile stuif
and invoke it, an American sailor in
u n:.f o.-m having the wide choice of
not. sleeping or stuving up. Inasmuch
as thin is the rule, "meno la noco."
Gibraltar, the rock, is the end of
'J iropo. and is interesting larcclv be
"uiitfo of the historv woven n found it.
It is n runt of a hill of roek. From
its sides one can see the burren hills
of Afrien, and the rollers of Spain.
At Gibraltar men from everv land
gr.ther suldiers and sailors. An
American is treated with kindlv con
sideration nnd a greut deal of respect,
lie is viewed graciously bv the Span
ish. French. Italians and liraziliaus
with a great show of emotion. It is
the wonder land to them, nnd from
all I can gather, the flattening out
of the Hun was appreciated. .
American moncv is cnecrlv sought,
and while the exchange shows but lit
tle difference, its value is nbout S1.45
per $1.00 with the masses buving
snib or booze, the latter flowing co
piously. Snuin would lie nn ideul
spot lor Hie amateur reformers X
Jackson county to agitato in. They
can chase a dime as far here as nny
of the nickel seekers nt homo
The gale I encountered coming over
as man sized, though mv captain
designated it ns n "blow." The ship
was tos.scd like a chip, nnd nil decks
were awtish. It is fairlv exciting to
behold u wave the size of Mt. Wngner
Irving to bust in the side of vour
room. It was un experience. Once is
enough.
The Mediterranean, however, was
decent, the water as smooth as a
floor with the famed Italian sunshine
on tap. The Straits of Messinn ore
quite u sight and a large part of this
trip wo were skirting the isles that
ulnved so thrilling a part in ancient
historv.
During mv stnv here I have hones
of visiting Venice and Homo. I nlsc
hope In get a glimnsa of the Pinve

looks of thinus I will he in this neck
