tells. In my bedroom there Is an cleo
trlc bell. aiSl l can go out into the
hall and talk over the telephone to the
consul general at Cairo. The hotel is
packed with guests. and on its register
/ see counts by the score and lords
by the dozen. The men come TO dinner
In stedl pen coats and the women in
silks with low recks and short eleeves.
There is a babel of English, French and
German going on in the drawing, room
while the guests drink coffee there
after dinner, and the only evidence ono
perceives of the land OF the Pharaohs
Is the tall min0rets which here and
there reach above the other buildings

MoHAMMEDANs GROWING RICH.
The changes which 1 have described
are by no mean confined to the Chris
tians. The natives are growing rich
and the Mohammedans are for the first
time In the history of Egypt piling up
money. They are investing their sur
plus in real estate, and II Is this that
has done much to swell all land values.

tians, Notwithstanding the government

dan has but one wife, but in many
cases he has q sweetheart in a house
around the corner.
The ghouls of modern science are
rohbing the graves of those who made
the pyramids. A tele.r hone line has
been stretched out of Cairo almost to
the ear of the Sphinx and there is a
hotel at the base of the Pyramid of
Cheops, where English men and wom-
an drink brandy and soda between
their games of tennis and golf.
Tho Egypt of today is the land of
mighty hotels and multitudinous tour
lists, Our consul general estimates
that Americans alone spend almost S4,-
100000 here every winter, and the
English, French and Germans spend
almost as much. He estimates that
there are 10000 Americans who visit
the Nile valley every season and that
like $40 per day for an average stay
OF two months.
CABS. TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES.
When first visited this country the
donkey was the chief means of trans
port, and men, women and children
went about on long-eared beasts, with
Arab boys in blue gowns following be-
hind and urging the animals along by
polting sharp sticks into patches of
bare flesh. as big as a dollar, which
had been denuded of skin FOR the pur-
pose. The donkey and the donkey boy
are here still, but l can get street car
in Alexandria that will take me to any
part of the town. and have to jump
now and then to get out of +Nn way of
an automobile. There are cabs every
where and Alexandria and Cairo have
thousands OF them.

foreigners 1t has now about 10000
600 people and of these 100000 are
either Arabs or descendants of the
original Egyptians. The most of them
are Mohammedans, although there are
all told something like 1000 Copts.
The Copts are the descendants Of the
ancient Egyptians They have rude
kind of Christianity, and are. as
body, better educated and Weather
than the Mohammedans. They are
noted as clerks and accountants and
are also fine workmen in gold and sill
yer and in other such trades. They
are money makers and money savers
and l understand that many OF them,
especially in upper Egypt, are now
making fortunes. The pure Moham-
medans do not as n rule go into bank
ing or money-lending. That is against
the Koran and they invest most of
their savings in lands.
FOREIGNERS IN EGYPT.
The foreign population of Egypt is
less than 200,0 900. The greater part
of it is to be found in Alexandria
and Cairo, and in the other towns
of the Nile valley, as well as in Suez
and Port Said There are more
Greeks than any other. The Greeks
have been exploiting the Egyptians
and the Nile valley for more than
1000 years and they are today the
sharpest, shrewdest and most I'M
scrupulous business men in It, They
do much of the banking and money
lending, and until the government
established banks of its own and
brought down the rate of interest
they demanded an enormous usury
from the Egyptian peasants. They

addition to those designations that are
in public use there are on fewer than
500 buried titles in existence--that is
to say. titles which are absorbed in
superior titles--and all these have to
be examined in order to see that the

Oldest Postmau Retires.

New York, July 16.-James De-
laney, the oldest letter carrier in the
United States, retired today after
moro than so years uninterruptedly
in the service of Uncle Sam. In his
half century of wark Delaney has
walked a distance greater than five
times around the world. Many are
the changes he has seen in the postal
service and the methods of mail de-
livery. When he first entered the
service the mail carriers received no
stated salary. Instead they received
one cent on every out-of-town letter
delivered. In 1862 the carriers were
first put in uniform and placed on a
salary of $1,000 year. Mr.. Delaney
is SO years of age and for the past
few years he has been a carrier out
of station F, at Third avenue and
Twenty-eighth street.

Good sheep and Mutton Year.

The firm of Coffin & Hepton will
morket 5000 mutton sheep from
their bands now ranging in the
mountain country south and
east of Lewiston. The price for NUT
ton sheep is about 75 cents higher
than at a corresponding time last
year and eastern markets are maxi
ing large demands upon western
ranges for the mutton supply.
Mr.. Coffin is interested extensively
in the Yakima country, where the
firm of Coffin Bros. has recently
made sale of 10000 sheep at $3.50
per head. This firm will market
about 10000 more in that section
this season, the market indicating
the prices will remain high during
the entire summer.
Sheepmen report the year to be a
most profitable one, the sale Of
wool being negotiated in most Sec
ticns at price from to s cents
higher than was secured last season.

"Of Age" nj is Ycal,s.

In January last the Chronicle pub
lished a ruling of the local land Of
flee rejecting the timber application
of Miss Emma NJ. Keep, of Portland,
for the reason that she was under the
age Of 81 years. An appeal was
taken In her behalf to the commis''
sioner of the general land office In
which 1t was contended that as she
was ~ years of age she was quail
fled to make timber entry and that
the provisions of the state law gov
ern, IN which women are declared OF
legal age at IS years.
BY decision of the commissioner of
the general land office, received in
The Dalles this week, the decision OF
the register and receiver was revers-
cd and 1t Is decided that in the state
of Oregon women may make applica-
tion at any time after reaching the
age of IS years.
This decision may be regarded as
tardy, since the best timber claims
have all been taken but the fact that
a number of sections are being re-
stored to entry may make the H.
year-old women of oregon more In
terested in the decision. At any
rate the decision is an important one.
