revenue taxes, a capitation tax and a very
low customs tax. We charge only 3 per

"His Majesty the King is anxious to fur

He has the friendliest of feelings toward
Americans. and wishes even closer relations
than those which now exist between the
two people. The legation will do all it can
to better the trade between the two coun-
tries, and l really think we have a market
there which your people do not appreciate.
Siam is one of the richest countries of the
far East. 1t is bigger than France or
Germany, and has a population of about
1000. 900. 1t is a country of many large
cities. and one with which the English and
Germans have a large trade. 1t is one
which is equally open to the Americans.

plans whereby the magazine could be placed
on q paying basis.
While the original plan of publishing mat
ter pertaining to the two Territories has not
been lost sight of. the field has been broad
ened. until the publication could now be
properly classed rs an Indian magazine.
one of the most important features is the
pubiIcatioE of Indian lore and legends.
In appearance Miss Eddleman shows no
more resemblance to the race to which she
belongs that do many who have no Indian
blood in their veins. She is of medium
height and rather slender. Her hair and
eyes are those of the Cherokee Indian,
while her complexion, with the exception #
an olive tinse, is as fair as that of her
white sisters.
That she is capable of looking after the
business affairs is attested by the success
with which she is meeting. She is the adj
vertising manager of her magazine. In
fact. she does ali the work with the eXcep-
ton of the mechanical part, and even th+t
is under her direction. Her typewriter and
other modern office CnnveHiences are evil

Foreign Trade With England.

but have We not already a big business
with your country" 1 asked.
Nothing like so great as 1t should be"
replied Mr.. Lotus. You send us some ma
chinery and hardware and a large number
of bicycles. We buy some of your writing
and printing paper and a little stationery
and some breadstuffs, tobacco and coal oil.
The trade in 1900 was more than two and
one-half times as great as 1t was in 1899.
but you have not begun to touch its posi-
bilities. You should sell all sorts of ma
chinery and almost every kind of American
notions. Siam is an agricultural country. 1t
has also enormous areas of forests. of teak
and other hardwoods. and American saws
and axes should be in demand. Russia sur
passes you in its shipment of coal oh. and
as to all kinds of cotton goods. England has
the lead. Indeed, about 81 per cent of the
foreign trade of Siam is with England. al
though the Germans are trying hard to in.
troduce their manufactures
Roth Germans and English have bust
ness houses in Bangkok and other Siamese
cities. and the Americans should establish
similar institutions. Your manufacturers
should send out their agents and do bust

City Has ~Seventy-Five
Miles of Canals.

THE city is a beautiful one. 1t is cut up
by canals. and about thirty-five years ago
these canals were the streets. All traffic
was carried on in boats, and boats took the
place of wagons and carriages. There are
still about seventy-five miles of canals in
Bangkok. but bridges have been built over
them, paved streets have been laid, and
you can now drive almost anywhere in a
carriage. Ten years ago there were only
about nine miles of paved streets. Now
there are over fifty miles. and new streets
are being opened up every year. The Amer
lean bridge makers might do Il good bust
ness in supplying the bridges. The old ones
of iron and wood are being replaced by
modern ones of iron and steel. The King
himself builds one steel bridge every year
out of his private funds as a gift to the
special ceremonies. on his birthday. AT
present the most of our bridge building ma
terials come from England"
Il see that our Consul General, Hamilton
King says that Bangkok is unhealthy from
lack of waterworks."
That matter is being remedied.' replied
Mr.. Lotus. 1.-The Government is now in
vestigating the subject. and within a short
time we will have a new waterworks and
sewerage system. / don't know where the
supplies will come from. 1t takes an enor-
nous amount of pipe for a city so scattered
as Bangkok. and whether we shall import it
or make 1t ourselves Is a question. Our
people are skillful in handling clay, and II
may be that the pipes will be of pottery,
or we may establish foundries to make
them. We are trying to develop the coun-
try in every way. and can afford to spend
more il thereby we can found a home in
dustry.
