stantinople the orient comes nearest to
Europe and America, and the differ
ence between the orient and the west
ern world is so striking that no noe
visiting southern Europe should miss
the Nile and the Bosphorus One can
spend weeks, and even months, about
the shores of the Mediterranean: At
RIGA. Asia Minor and Europe all touch
upon this great inland sea. Without
leaving its shores one can study the
most opposite types which the human
race has produced and at the same time
study the history of the oldest periods
known to man. Egypt should be visited
before the end of March while April
is the best month for a trip TO Peles-
tine
In Italy alone one could occupy a
winter. Rome, the center OF the Catho-
lie world and the home Of the Caesars
is most fascinating city. There are
no moSaics like those of st. Peters and
few galleries equal to those of the vat
lean, while masterpieces of sculptors
and painters are to be found on every
hand. The old Roman forum is the
mecca of the student. and the Coliseum
is still q wonder, defying as it has the
storms of nearly 1000 years. At Ma
piles one sees Vesuvius and lava beds
formed but few months ago. At one
place the stream or lava poured
through an archway and hardened as it
cooled. When we were there the lava
was like stone and could with difficulty
be broken. At Florence one sees the
best specimens of modern sculpture,
and at Milan he visits one of the most
famous of the European cathedrals.
Venice is III a class by itself No 9TH
er city rivals it in unicueness. It's
streets are canals, and gondolas are the
vehicles in which pOtentate, priest and
plebeian ride. 1t draws visitors from
all over the world and sends them
away after a short visit, glad that they
came and equally glad to escape from
the dampness Of the place.
If one desires a summer trip he can
find few journeys more delightful than
those through Switzerland and along
the Rhine. Lakes. rivers and noun
tains-these are to be found in album
dance, with cities enough to supply the
population and hotels to accommodate
the tourists. If one would combine
pleasure with instruction, he can profit
ably employ considerable time in visit
ing the German universities at Heidel-
burg and Leipsic and the art galleries
at Dresden and Munich. The cathedral

most remarkable in the world, attract
many to Beyrout, Damascus and the
Lebanons, but the Sea of Galilee. Jeru-

was entered upon for educational rea-
sons There is so much to see and learn
that one can occupy an indefinite time
in travel. We set apart a year for. the
trip and reached home sixteen days
within the limit. Those who have fol-
lowed these letters will admit. L think,
that we have covered a great deal of
the world. If we were repeating the
trip, / hardly know of any country
that we could afford to leave out, and
am satisfied that IL is better to start
from the Pacific coast than from the
Atlantic. One could make the trip in
half the time that we spent and see a
great deal. but he can see more if he
has a year or two to spare for the
journey.
II one desires to make the trip I'm six

weeks to India, q week to Egypt, two

Chinese population-the ruling element
can only be seen at Pel1ln or in the
northern districts. The great wall is
near Peldn, and the wall around the

Supreme Court Hands Down An
Important Opinion
ON APPEAL FROM KING COUNTY
VOID ASSESSMENT OF PART DOES
NOT lNVALIDATE THE
ENTIRE DISTRICT.

Where a city council increases the
assessment district for a street pave
ment w.+hout the property owners af-
fected having the necessary legal no.
tice, such action does not invalidate the
assessment in the original district in
which the property owners did not re-
ceive sufficient notice.
This decision was handed down by
the supreme court Wednesday in a Sc
attic case, in which the Barber AS
phalt company brought suit to compel
a new assessment of the entire district.
The company refused to accept the
bonds based on property on which as
sessments had not been paid.
The board of public works originally
fixed the district by assessing 120 feet
back on each size. Afterward the city
council extended the district 60 feet
farther back on each side. The prop
erty owners in this rim of territory did
not have notice because the original
assessment roll had already been made
out, and did not include the new ter
ritory.
The supreme court finds the assess
ment void as to the 60-foot rim, but
valid as to the 120 feet on each side.
The lower court issued a peremptOry
writ of mandate against the city. The
supreme court reverses the lower, with
instructions to enter an order directing
the city to reassess that part of the
district beyond the 120-foot limit.
The amount involved was $2,222.29.
The supreme court holds that neither
the city nor the asphalt company shall
recover costs.

SAVED HOME WITH AID OF BLANKETS
Theodore Rondema, Residing at 213
North Fifth Street, Had Exciting
Experience Last Night.

Armed with blankets, Theodore Ron
dema, residing at 213 North Fifth
street. organized himself into a minia-
ture fire department last night and
saved his home from destruction by a
fire that started through the explosion
of a lamp in the hands of Mrs. Ron
dema as the family was about to re-
tire for the night
The prompt work of Mr.. Rondema is
all that saved his home from destruc-
ton. The explosion of the lamp scat
tered burning oil all over the floor and
the room was ablaze in a second. The
family rushed for a place of safety,
but Mr.. Rondema grabbed some blan-
kets on the bed and commenced beat
ing out the fire. For a time it looked
as if he would have to retreat from
the hot flames, but he finally con-
ouered. and when the firemen arrived
from the central station a few minutes
later they found there was no use for
their services. The damage to the room
and furniture was considerable. The
full department from the central sta
ton and two wagons from the sub
station answered the alarm.

Opposes Wa|Ia Wa|Ia.M Milton MaCdam-
lied Road Plan
NEWSPAPER WIELDs THE HAMMER
CLAIMS IT is A SCHEME TO PRO-
VIDE A GOOD ROADWAY
FOR AUTOMOBILES.

Ever jealous of Walla Walla and her
progressive business men. Pendleton is
out with the little hammer, knocking
the proposed macadamized road con-
Meeting Walla Walla with Milton and
Freewater. The Pendleton people seem
to think that the proposed road is to
be constructed for the benefit of a few
Walla Walla automobilists and not for
the benefit of several thousand people
residing contiguous to the thorough
fare. The East Oregonan, which
give Walla Walla a dig comments on
the proposed road in yesterdays issue
as follows:
"Walla Walla is not content with
drawing on the resources of northern
Umatilla county constantly to build
up her own trade and reputation, but
she now wants Umatilla county to
build an automobile driveway through
the northern part of the county for the
especial benefit of Walla Walla.
1.-The roads in the northern part of
Umatilla county are now among the
best in the county, but this is not salts
factory to the automobile owners of
the Garden City They have induced
the county court of Walla Walla coun-
ty to build a few miles of macadam
road down to the state line and are
now agitating macadam road in the
northern part of Umatilla county to
connect with this to furnish them a 10
mile automobile drive into Umatilla
county at Umatillas expense.
Still Cracking.
"Walla Walla has built up her repu-
tation as a fruit district, largely upon
fruit raised in the Milton and Free
water districts. She has drawn trade
from Pendleton and other Umatilla
county towns for years by reason of
her excellent train service and now
she begins an agitation to force UNA
tilla county TO contribute several thou
sand dollars to furnish pleasant drive
into the country for Walla Walla's re-
tired business men who have grown
rich off the business drawn from: Una
tilla county!
This is too much!
sIf Milton and Freewater want the
macadamized road, let them have 1t,
but the velvet touch of Walla Walla
is felt in the agitation now being car
ried on"

At present the intake of the flume sup

fined in a barrel f1ume and the depres-

also confine Mill creek in a narrower
channel by bulkheading both sides of
the stream. The cost of retaining the
property will be quite large, but the
rapidly increasing value of residence
property in East Alder justifies the
expenditure.
