| A turn In the road suddenly dis
closed to us the end OF our pilgrim
age. IL lay at our feet. an immense
mass OF white dwellings, surrounded
by high. gray and ruined battle
ments. The golden rays OF the set
ting sun seemed to bring out In
strong relief the minarets of the
mosques and TO battle In flood or
light that great monument of Moroc-
can life. There, before us, silent,
isolated and ancient, lay the highest
example of Moorish civilization. And
yet no paved roads led up to 1t. No
carts or wagons disturbed the death
like silence which covered the city.
No shrieks of engines, no hum OF
harvesters. no smoke of factories.
no signs. OF life, pulsatlng. moving,
producing western life, were in evil
dence. We gazed long and fondly
upon the picture before us and re-
luctantly followed our guide along
the road to the gates OF the city
Our illusions of beauty and charm
we're soon dlspelled. Outside the
walls we passed innumerable camps
OF traders who had come from the
four corners OF Morocco TO dispose
OF their merchandise. AT the very
gates we found geat numbers OF
dead animals, camels, mules, horses.
dogs and donkeys. abandoned by
their owners to rot and pollute the
air with the fearful odor of their de-
composition.
The gates through which we enter
ed the city opened on to market
place. Here was assembled a motley
array of varl-colored humanity which
would have done credit to the
streets of Cairo" Negroes, Arabs.
"Berbers," Jews, Moors-brown,
white and black-were squatting
side by side on the edge of the road,
while others, on mule or horse,
slowly passed between them. Beg
gars, half-naked. water-carrlers with
plgskin bags, shoemakers. scavenger-
monges, vegetable vendors, horse
traders, mingled unfortunately.

sation impossible, while the odor OF

NAL filth were overpowering. We
made our way through this crowd

BUNCoED ON FIREWORKS.
Fourth of July Committees Met Last
Evening and Closed Celebration
Business.

The various Fourth of July COM
mittees met in the Board of Trade
rooms last evening to audit bills and
transact the business relative to the
recent celebration.
The celebration, as a whole, was
one of the most successful ever held
in Salem, and the committee wish to
thank the many citizens who gave
their loyal support and aided In the
days exercises. The various mem
bers of the committee are to be con-
graduated at the able management
of the program, which meant much
sacrifice and tireless and loyal work.
One of the unpleasant things of
the committees work was the audit
ing of the fireworks bill. Mr.. Shipp,
through whom the goods we're or
dered, contracted with Hit Bros, of
Seattle, to furnish the fireworks.
The goods were shipped on the 25th
of June, and arrived in due time, but
the bill for the same did not arrive
until July 9Th, after the fireworks
had been used. When the bill was
received It was found that not only
had the charges been excessive, but
also goods had been sent which had
not been ordered. A resolution was
passed last evening condemning the
business methods of the said Hit
Bros, and agreeing to trade else
where in the future.
A letter expressing the regrets of
the committee for the mlsunder-
standing in regard to the Chemawa
boys was drafted, and ordered sent
TO the proper authorities.
There were 1877 Chemawa students
in uniform ready to march on the
Fourth, but owing to a misunder-
standing in the orders the boys did
not get in the march, which fact the
committee and all concerned deeply
regret.
IL was voted by the meeting to
loan % flags to the cherry fair COM
mittee for decorating purposes.
ole Olson was present and pre-
sented a bill for S14, which is said
to be due for a speech delivered on
the Fourth ten years ago. AS many
of the bills of this year had not been
audited, Ole's claim was placed on
the table.
The meeting adjourned to meet at
the call of the chair

THE POSSIBILITIES
OF GAS MACHINES

when a man has to shovel dol
lar bill into tho furnace everytime
he wants a dimes worth of power,
he may be pardoned for harboring a
germ or two OF discomfort with the
present stage of industrial evolu-
tlon," says Charles II. Carter, writ
ing in the Technical World Maga-
zine for May. "Yet a modern steam
power plant will only deliver at the
crank shaft from 10 to IL per cent
of the potential energy contained In
the coal burned under It's boilers. II

Quoted with unusual skill. the latter
may be approxlmated. Corliss and
quadruple expansion engines, feed
water heaters and kindred access
sorles. and finally the steam turbine
have resulted from endeavors to re-
duce this excessive waste of heat.
Altogether they have only served
to accentuate the necessity of find
ing something more efficient than
steam TO perform the functions of
the worlds prime mover. Recent de-
velopments would seem TO indicate
that a clew TO this much-needed inn
provement has been discovered. At
least II looks suspicious TO find gas

when one flnds the same type OF en-
gine that is assembled In these great
plants humbly doing the churning at

biles and motor boats and running

saving money for It's owner whenever

A STUFFED EMPEROR.
Fate of Valerian of Rome, Captured
by the Persians.

One of the most remarkable stuff
ed skins on record was that of Valer-
ian, emperor of Rome, who was
taken prisoner and afterward kept
In chains by Sapor, king of Persia.
He was either killed in tumult or
by order of his conqueror, who was
perhaps fearful of losing his valu-
able living trophy, in the year 269.
The body of the dead emperor was
treated with no more delicacy than
when 1t held the spark of a living
one. 1t was skinned. The hide after
being tanned was stuffed, painted
red and suspended In the chief tenn
pie of the capital. 1t remained there
for many years and was the popular
spectacle for holidays makers and
visitors from the country. But 1t
was put to more important ends than
this. II was made a diplomatic en-
glne of much significance and effi-
cheney. In after times 1t often hap
pened that the Roman envoys at the
Persian court had Misunderstanding
more or less serious with the gov
ernment to which they were tempo
rarily accredited. When these am
bassadors from Rome grew arrogant
in their demands, II was the custom
to conduct them into the presence of
the stuffed skin of the ex-emperor
of Rome, where they were asked IL
humility did not become them at
sight of such a spectacle.

THE CUNNING AND
PATIENT COYOTE

This is the coyote: Co-yo-tay,
with all the syllables; to the Mexi-
can who named him; "Kiote" merely
to the American wanderer who has
come and gone so often that he at
last regards himself a resident stock
man and farmer. 1t is this little
beasts triangular visage, his sharp
nose fitted for the easy investigation
Of other peoples affairs; his oblique
green eyes with their squint OF
cowardice and perpetual hunger, that
should have place in the adornment
of escutcheons. 1t Is notorious that
the viclssitudes of his belly never
bring to him the fate upon whose
verge he always lives, and that moth
ing but strychnine, and not always
that, will bring an end to his forlorn
Icareer. AS his gray back moves
slowly along above the reeds and
coarse grass, and he turns his head
to look at you, he knows at once
whether or not you have with you
a gun, and you cannot know how
he knows. Once satisfied that you
are unarmed he will remain near In
spite of any vocal remonstrances, and
lby-and-by may proceed to interview
you in n way that for unobtrusive-
ness might be taken as a model OF
the art. Lie down on the thick
brown carpet of the wilderness and
be still for twenty minutes, and
lwatching him from the corner of
your eye you will see that he has
been Joined by others of his brethren
hitherto unseen. He seems to be
curious to know, first, II you are
dead, and, second. II by any chance
and he lives upon chances--there
lis anything else In your neighbor-
hood that he might find eatable.
II you pass on with Indifference,
which is the usual way. he will sit
himself down upon his tail on the
nearest knoll, and loll his red tongue
and lecr at you as one with whom
he is half inclined to claim acquain-
tance. He looks and acts then as so
much like gray dog that one is in
clined to whistle to him. Make any
hostile demonstration and he Will
move a little farther and sit down
again. If by any means you man
'age to offend him at this juncture
lthe chances are that he and his
comrades may retire still farther.
and then bark ceaselessly until they
have hooted you out of the neighbor-
hood. That night he and his COM
panions may come and steal the
straps from your saddle. the meat
from the frying pan-and politely
clean the pan-and even the boots
from beside your lowly bed.-James
W. Steele in outing.
