Since the last Day OF January George
Heimrod has been sleeping under mosquito
netting and wearing the white duck trous-
ers Of the college cadet and the tropical
laborer. This news comes to his friends
In Omaha in a letter written by bis
daughter Dora, who went with him when
the United States government sent him to
Apia as American consul general to Samoa.
Miss Heimrod writes that her father
found the consulate to be pleasant. though
not overly-large quarters and that she her
self has found the country most interesting.
She is the mistress Of her fathers quar-
ters and is not only assisting in his state
correspondence but is planning to expert
ment in gardening and has written TO
Omaha for vegetable seeds.
Previous letters from her have told OF
the pleasures of the long ocean voyage on
the steamship Ventura They reached
Honolulu on January 70 and spent q pleas
ant day there. riding on modern electric
cars and drinking modern ice cream soda
amidst e~nvirons that were'antiquc. II was
there that her father purchased bis duck
trousers and she a light flannel suit. and II
was there also that a native theatrical
troupe came aboard to afford an additional
source Of amusement for the other passen-
gers through all the rest OF the voyage.
On January rs they crossed the equator
and she donned her shirtwaist for deck
wear. They reached Apia January 80, after
a ride from Page Page in a dirty little
steamer that weathered a storm so poorly
that all on board were sea sick with q ven
geanee. Eight picturesque natives rowed
them from the steamer to the shore and
sang to them most melodiously. Miss
Heimrod states that the natives 'sihg with
q long sustained note and then break on
with a short fnaI."
She says they will have to refurnish their
rooms. as It is the custom for occupants Of
the consulate to sell all their furniture
upon vacating the apartments. the excep-
tion to this being in the once. which re-
tains its government furniture.
The native chiefs wives besieged Miss
Heimrod for the family washing and she
says that those who were not engaged
seemed much disappointed and quite Jealous
