been working over time to make this
initial convention a success. Prepara-
tions have been under way for several
months, and the results have justified
the effort expended. Three hundred
farmers have been brought together
and given opportunity to compare views
to hear able lectures on subjects in
which they are vitality interested.
Moreover they have had an opportunity
to visit the college and to take notes
on the country. The heavy represent
alton from the west side shows the
appreciation of this chance to see East
ern Washington at a nominal cost.
The success of this first attempt guar
antees that the event will be an annual
occurrence.

A VISIT TO
LOONGHWA PAGODA
interesting Letter Describes a Drive
Through the Country in
China
Shanghai, China, May Is, 1906.


April 1st was beautiful spring dav
so we decided to go out to the Loongh-
wa pagoda and temples. We walked
to the public gardens, here took ricshas,
went along the Bund through the
French concession and out Avenue Paul
Brunot.
This is one of the finest streets in
the concession. 1t is as smooth as a
pavement, and is bordered on each
side with trees, making an ideal drive
way. Out this way a number of the
wealthy residents live and some of the
houses are magnificent structures of
from two to five stories high. The
general style of architecture is much
the same and is peculiarly adapted to
the Orient. All houses are of brick
with tile roofs, and all have wide
verandahs with broad columns support
ing them. Some of the mansions have
towers and one wonders if the castles
of medieval times have been bodily
transferred to China. Each residence
has its own we'll kept grounds, often
covering several acres, with a high
wall surrounding them. Near the mas
sive gate is oft times a small house,
occupied by the lodge keeper and his
family. There is breathing room here
and it is welcome contrast to the
crowded city. There are many Chin
ese gardens out this way and just now
they are brilliantly green, with pat
ches of yellow mustard bloom reliev-
ing the monotony.
We had fine ricsha coolies and after
telling them where we wanted to go,
all we had to do was to enjoy our.
selves watching things along the way.
1t is five miles to the pagoda, and
the drive way is a fine one, being a
regular cobble stone pavement, bord-
cred on each side with trees all the
way. Two carriages may pass with
not much room to spare. Yang King
Pang Creek lies on one side of the
road. We soon passed out of Shanghai
proper into the country, where every
bit of ground is in cultivation. Irri-
eating bitches are dug around many of
the gardens and when the tide comes
in they are filled with water from the
creek. The tide is a great factor in
the life of these farmers. We passed
through several what | suppose would

Yesterday and today the town has
been in possession of the farmers.
The big convention now in progress on
the hill is made up of farmers from
every corner of the state, from the
fertile prairies of the Big Bend, from
the irrigated districts of the central
part of the state, from the banks of
the Columbia and from the West Side.
The chance to visit this section of
the state as guests of the college at a
cost of only S. for the round trip was
an opportunity not to be passed by,
hence the large representation.
The delegates began coming in
Thursday and by Friday noon about
300 farmers had begun the inspection
of the college and its method of work
ing.

be called villages, that differ from the
native city only in having walls
around them. The filth, children,
beggars and general conglomeration
of sights and sounds were the same.
This section Of the country seems
to be the national cemetery for there
are simply thousands of graves. When
a Chinaman dies he is not planted
once for all but is only temporarily
buried. The priests designate this
place and the body may be moved
dozen times before it is finally in
comfortable spot The priests claim to
have intercourse with the spirits and
are directed by them. The temporary
tomb is a small house and is not COW
cred with earth, as is the final home
of the departed one. Some of the
mounds covering the graves are small
hills. Garden is planted between and
sometimes clear over the graves and
children play around and over them.
A few are surrounded by fence, these,
| presume, belonging to wealthy fam
lilies, but the most of them are in
one common garden. There are no
monuments, but a short narrow piece
of granite is placed at the head and
at the foot of each grave.
From the time we left the Avenue
Paul Brunot, there was not one hum
dred yards without its beggar, and the
nearer we came to the pagoda the
thicker they were. About mile from
the pagoda, in among the graves, is
beggar village, and the Scripture
saying living among the tombs''
came to me with new meaning. The
huts, of which there were scores, were
rude mat sheds about feet long by
feet wide by 2 1-2 feet high. In these
novels hundreds of human beings live,
eat, sleep, and raise families. Nearly
every woman had filthy ragged child
with her, many of them hideously de-
formed. There were beggars of every
description. From old men tottering
on the edge of the grave, to the babe
not yet able to walk, men, women and
children, depending for their very life
on the generosity of passersby. There
was every phase of hideousness, and
repulsive deformities. The lame, the
halt and the blind were there. One
hideous one struck his head repeatedly
on rock and exhibited the bloody cash
to elicit aims; another had his, pre-
sumably, dying father stretched by the
way7ide to arouse the pity Cf those
who saw him. Every known deform- /
ity was there and it turned me sick |
to see it all. One baby was tied to a
tree while it's mother ran after the
carriages and ricshas entreating,
"mommom, bo cash. " The filth,
