WHAT THE EUGENE REGISTER CALLS A FRANK ADMISSION.
; C "The people should create Nesmlth and Umpqua counties if
ihoy want tho stato of Oregon to develop.
It is tho same proposition as cutting up the big farms.
Salom Journal.
Tho Journal says creation of Nesmith counties by a voto of
all tho people is tho same proposition as cutting up of tho big
farms.
All right, if tho votors of tho stato havo tho right, by their
voto, to cut up some of tho big farms in this state, lot us
single out ono in Marion county for segregation by voto of
tho people of tho stato and seo how quickly tho Journal's
columns will reek with black-face typo donounclng such pro
cedure as trampling individual rights under foot.
Chopping up countleg by ttyo samo process is a stato in
vasion of community rights.'
We admit with tho Journal that tho votors of tho stato
havo as much right by tho'lr votes to say how small an Oregon
farm shall be and whoso farm shall bo cut up as they have to
say where a new county shall bo formed and from what old
county rib it shall bo taken. Eugeno Register.
In tho abovo method of reasoning the Eugeno Register does itself
no credit from an intellectual standpoint.
It is genorally admitted that It Is n good policy to cut up tho big
ranches Into smaller ones and make places for more homes nnd a
denser population.
Now because that is a sound economic princlplo it does not follow
that it would bo right to cut up those big ranches by leaving it to a
popular voto of the pooplo.
Thorb Is no provision in th Constitution for allowing tho people to
voto on cutting up the largo farms into smaller ones.
Tho effect of cutting up tho big counties into smallor ones is identi
cally tho samo as cutting up tho biff farms Into smaller ones.
Now cities aro built, now Industries spring up now centers of wealth
nro created and tho population of tho stato increases mora rapidly the
inoro new counties nro created.
There aro only two ways to create a now county by tho net o the
loglslaturo or by vote of tho sovereign people.'
Tho loglslaturo has not created n now county slnco Lincoln county
was created, or about one in twenty years.
Tho loglslaturo is generally dominated by tho narrow, selfish policies
of tho old county seat politicians.
Thoy croato nothing now, bright or original, but do create high taxes,
now offices for thomsolvea or extend tholr terms or increase their own
salaries.
Tho powor of creating now counties cannot bo loft to tho votors of
tho old countlos for thoy would novor croato a now county.
Tho Constitution especially authorizes tho creation of now counties
uy uio uiruoi voio or. uiu poopio nnu imi oiucrwisc.
i Tho Itoglstor'a contention that no now counties should bo created
until a special law has been passed Is fallacious.
It would block nil creation of now counties for nil tlmo to como nnd
tho legislature would never pass such u foolish law.
It would bo a porfoct godsend to Oregon If ten now countlos could
bo created nnd would hasten tho development of tho state.
But thoro Is no warrant for saying tho advocates of now countlos
favor tho cutting up of largo farms being loft to a popular voto.

i.-' 1tlvo)lo. Italy, Apr. 10, 1910.
Iy Doar Folks: This trip is in
deed beyond my expectation. If you
over again como to Europe, I want
you to go over tho samo ground wa
havo travailed tip to this time.
Pompoll Is a most wondorful
plncp, and it Is hard to roallxa that
ht one time It must have been such a
boautlful city, and to think at tho
tlmo of Pompeii thoy used suuh
beautiful Moalo floors.
Wo left Nnpofl yesterday at 8:30
a. ,m. nnd took tho boat for Capri
Tho most Important part of Capri la
tho Blue Grotto, This was ontored
In by small boats. Tho opening of
the cavo is Just large enough for a
row boat to ontw. Thoy only take
two people In a boat, and just be
fore you get to the entrance they
make you lie down In tho boat. They
have to wait for the wavaa, nnd If
thoy don't net lit at the right time
tho waves brook Just as you get to
the entitii. aad yon get soaking
wet We were fortunate and had a
good boatman, so we got In and out
without Retting wet. It U ft roost
weird experience. After you get In
the cave the coloring la beautiful
The water and over head Is the most
beautiful shade of blue. It look
Juat like a calcium light was playing
on 1L
Wo ate our lunoh undor the moat
beautiful wisteria pergola, It was
blue with blossoms,
Prom there ' sailed bauk to
Sorrento. When we landed at Son
rento wo went up a winding stair
way, made in the rugged rocks to
our liotol which soemod to bo hang
ing on tho odgo of the rocks. Thoro
on tho sen-shlo of tho liotol wo had
our roam, and I am not surprlsod
that Marlon Crawford was Inspired
to write books. Hare also ono of tho
Astors has n villa whoro ho stays
flvo mouths In the year.
This morning at 8:30 wo startod
In carriages for RevoRo via Amalfi.
This Is about a thlrty-flvo mile drlvo
and aau only be made in carrlagos
We drovo to Amnlfl for lunch, and
the drive was along the sea, with
orange and lemon graves on oithor
side, us far as wo could seo.
Wo had our lunoh in a quaint old
monastary. Wo stayed several hours
there and thu with new drivers and
fresh horses we started tor Ruvello
which Is 1100 feet abovo Amalft. So
we went back and forth up tho
mountain with the sea In sight most
of the time. And such oraugo nnd
lemon grove, you would wondor
how they could make them grow In
the rocks. This Is the moat quaint
old hotel. 1 wUh you could see our
room, three beds In row, with
bright red blankets on them fpr
spreads. The niuld came In with
warm water for us In the funny lit
tle tea kettle. The view we have
makes us think of the view we have
froat Mt. Low when you look down
over the valley. Just Imagine youis
svf 1100 feet up n mountain and
looking down6ver old stone houses
orange aud lemon grovoa, with the
sea dashing up against the rooks,
Hko It does at Lono Rook.
J did not get to finish this last
night for we had dinner, which
started at seven and we did not
finish until nine.
I would Hko to stay some tlmo at
Sorrento, Amalfi and this place. Tha
view, air and meals are flno. Dr,
Wlllard had never stayed hero with
his party before, so ho was a little
surprised when wo came to the din
nor tablo and found it decorated in
ivy, tulips, friezes, ' hyacinths, peo
nies, iris, and some flowers I did not
know tho nam,o of. Wo stay here
until after lunch and then we pro
ceed to Cava by carriage taking us
on up tho mountain, but still In
view of tho sea. Many years ago
this city had 30000 Inhabitants
while now there are only 2000. It
was very cold last night and I
wished several times I had my
steamer rug.
April 14, on board Yacht Athena
Here wo aro sailing along on the
Ionian Sea. The weather is grand
and tho sea -smooth. Our meals aro
all eaten outsldo with Just a canvas
ovor our heads. Wo travelled ovor
300 miles on tho train yesterday
reaching Brendesl about eight
o'clock, whero wo wero driven to tho
yacht Athena, and set sail at 8:45.
It was quite rough all night as wo
wero crossing tho Adriatic Sea, but
today its very calm again. This
yacht holds seventy-flvo people, and
wo havo nearly sixty on board. I
don't feel Hko wo aro on tho sea for
land is so close on both sides of us.
Every ono is going wild over tho
snow covered mountains, which have
been In sight all morning . To
Emily and I, who are used to seeing
snow covered mountains, It Is not
inew. These mountains look vory
much like tho Rocky mountains as
thoro Is very little growing on them.
Wo get to Delphi in tho morning
about six and land about seven. Wo
will bo thoro nearly all day. Our
plan has been changed a little so as
to go to Constantinople first, so wo
will not got to Athens until Anrll
25th Instead of the 20th, so It will
bo just a month since 1 had any
word from homo.
Tho other day when wo returned
from Pestum, tho two Church girls
(Mrs. J. J. Murphy's grand-daugh
ters) got into tho samo car with us.
did not know thom although ono
of tho girls' faco was familiar to mo.
She looked like hor mother, so I
asked hor whero Bho was from and
uu nam uregon. j told tliom I was
from Salem and know their grand
mother vory well. Their mother
had gone to Rome, and thoy wero
leaving Cava In a few days for
Rome.
Wo did not get to land at Corfu,
this morning, but on account of bo-
lng In Greek waters, our offlcor had
toj land and got tho yacht's papers
fixed up, so nearly every ono sent
somo mnll ashore. Our' ride yester
day on tho train, was mostly
through ollvo groves, although wo
havo not had an ollvo to oat slnco
wo roachod Italy. Vory few olives
aro eaton in Itafy as they uso all
tholr olives for oil. Wo will get
olives In Greeco, nnd thoy say thoy
aro vory fine.
April 17th This Is Sunday morn
Ing, and wo will bo sailing all day.
This Is such a delightful trip, and I
am so glad I camo to Greece, for I
havo learned more of Greek History
this last week, than I know during
my wholo life.
Wo loft Dundlro In tho ovonlng,
and our first stop wns Itea, whero
wo took carriages to Delphi. Hero
wo spont tho day; oatlng our lunch
undor tho troos at tho Castnllan
fountain. Our lunch was prepalred
on tho yacht, and thoy took two
sailors along to wait on us. Wo re
turned to tho yacht about 7:30, had
our dlnnor nnd rotracod our steps n
little, and our next stop was Kata
kola whoro wo took a special train
for Olympla. Tho trnln rldo was
about Ms hours. Wo again took our
lunch with us, but this tlmo wo ato
it In tho dining room of a hotol at
Olympla, but we had our own
welters to wait upon us. We get to
PIrea about f'vo tonight, whoro wo
tnko on supplies nnd eonl, nnd while
wo aro at I'lroa, whiuh Is just .a lit
tle ways from Athons, they aro go
ing to send a sailor after our mail.
Prom Plren wo go to Eplduro and
then to Creto. Tho weather Is
grand and now that wo aro In la
protected waters, Instead of ' open
sett, tho water is smooth as glass.
The land Is qulto near on one side af
us, and In sight on tho othor. Wo
Imvo nlco onsy chairs, nnd lots of
cushions on dook, whoro wo can en
joy our solves. Wo have those nur
onu parties on board. Ono under
Dr. Unbcock, ono under a Profoseor
Clark, and our Dr. Wlllard.
Whenever wo go ushoro now wo
go In our own boats. We carry four
small boats, one of whloh Is a gaso
line launch, so they tow the balance
of us to shore. This part of the
country we ro travelling In, when
we land gives us a pretty good Ide-

of tho people and their way of living.
April 21st Wo are still sailing,
sailing over tho deep blue sea, and
while we have had to change our
plans a couple of times, we are
thoroughly enjoying ourselves. The
weather and sea are fine, and of
course every one Is In good spirits
Sunday night we started for Crete,
but along in the night it got so
rough they took us to Naupll, where
we anchored at 10 a. m. In the
aftornoon wo vl ited the ruins of
Mycenes and Tyrlne. At Tyrins
saw tho most beautiful sunset I have
ever seen; the coloring was grand.
At Mycenes I was very much
amused. I had two postals which I
thought I would write. School was
Just out, and all tho children gath
ered around. They thought my
fountain pen qulto odd, nnd could
not understand whero the Ink came
from. Ono of the boys had his
school bag, so wo asked a Greek,
who could speak a little English,
what they studied, so he took out his
books and he had a geography,
grammar, arithmetic, two histories,
a reading book and a writing book,
In which wero English letters. I
had a sheet of paper so I amused
them by writing for them. When
wo left, I put tho paper on the
bench, I was sitting on, and you
should have seen them scramble for
It. After wo saw tho grand sunset
wo came back to the Athena and
spent tho night in tho harbor. The
next morning we had an early break
fast and by seven-thirty wo wero all
landed and started on a thirty-six
mllo drlvo to Epldurous, whero we '
saw tho best presorved Ancient
Greek Theatre In Greece.
I never saw so mnny wild flowers,
and those bright rod anemones like
wo have at homo wore growing
everywhere. I certainly enjoyed the
trip, for it took us through a coun
try where wo could see the real
Greek life. Here we saw the girls
attending the sheep and goats, and
knitting or spinning at tho same
time. Wo returned to the Athena
about six-thirty and again we - set
sail for crete, but about four in the
morning they had to give it up
again, so they changed the course
and yesterday about noon wo landed
on the Island of Santorin, that Is we
tried to anchor, 'but the water Is
1200 feet deep; so they took us
around on another side, and those
who wanted a good climb went to
see a volcano which Is smoking a
little. I started but It was too much
for me, so I camo back. When they
all returned they took us to tho lit
tle town of Phlra, where on account
of our llttlo Athena carrying the
British flag, wo were met by the
British Consul, who took us to tho
city. We all went on donkeys, for
tho city looks like it was hanging on
the side of a cliff 1200 feet up In
tho air. Emily took my picture; it
was my first experienco on a donkey.
After the gentleman had shown us
all the sights he took us to his home,
and treated us to somo very fine
wine, and banana cordial. Then to
show our approbation we invited he
and his family over to the Athena
for dinner.
This morning wo stopped at the
llttlo Island of Noxos where they
used to get the marble that was
used in the statues of ages ago;
wo were there only a couple of
hours, and aro now on our way to
Delos, where wo will land right after
lunch, rtnd visit another ruin, then
about flvo wo will sail for C6n
stantlnople, reaching there Saturday
morning. Did you ever hear of the
"conversation beads," the men uso
in Greeco? Thoy say they cannot

April 2 2d Since I started this
yesterday we have had about the
roughest sea I ever want to en
counter. When we hit somo of those
heavy waves, I did not know but
what we were going under. When
we left Delos last night, we started
against a heavy wind, and the wind
and heavy sea continued all night
and this morning the sun is shining
but the sea is rough. It rained so
at Delos yesterday that we did not
get a very good view of the ruins.
