best paid pilots in the world. Annually
they are responsible for the safe passage
Of 3,l00 vessels with a tonnage of $500, 600.
The big ship Cleveland was unable to
go up the river to the city, and anchored
at the Diamond harbor, 40 miles below
but even here the captain grew uneasy
and at high tide he dropped back to the
sea, 80 miles from the city. Our party
of tourists had to be transported back
to the vessel in two large tenders, or riv-
er boats. and the trip from Calcutta re-
quired almost an entire day. Along this
river in accordance with the religious
custom, the mothers OF India used to
throw their young children to be devour-
ed by crocodiles. until the practice was
made unlawful by the British govern
ment.
Calcutta is often called a "city of pail
aces" The European section with it's
pretentious architecture-its government
buildings, its churches, its residences. and
it's business blocks-is indicative of
wealth and refinement. But near this
magnificent section are the small huts
of the natives. Because of this some one
has added that while Calcutta is a city
of palaces in front, ii is one of pig styes
I'm the rear"
The government house, the home OF
the viceroy, is a large white mansion sit
uated in an attractive garden of six or
seven acres. Near this is the Madam.
The Madam is a large level piece of
ground used for amusement and recrea-
ton. 1t is two miles long. is in the
heart of the city and consists of more
than a thousand acres. II reminds one
of the commons In Boston and the park
extension IN Savannah.
Along the Madam late in the afternoon
there is a splendid display of equippages.
Calcutta is a city of wealth and society,
and the people love to travel in style.
Ordinarily the finer carriages have two
coachmen seated in front and two out
riders behind. all being dressed in native
clothes of beautiful and striking colors.
When there is the race meeting, or
when the viceroy is being visited by a
number of native princes or maharajas,
the driveway along the Madam is re-
markable for its brilliant cOlors and its
fashionable equippages. The maharajas
are the biggest snobs on earth, and they
dearly love to make a striking display
of their jewels, their fine clothes, and
their gorgeousy arrayed servants The
native people of India are impressed by
fine livery and gorgeous apparel, and so
the English ruling classes cater to their
weakness and make a great show. When
one adds to this the natural propensity
of the English, and when he considers
the peacock like vanity of the newly
made rich. he can comprehend something
OF the sights of the Madam. There are
few cities where position and wealth and
display count for so much as in the cap
ital city of India.
There are many interesting sights in
Calcutta, but after one has travelled fol

Each lnStallment a COMPLETE STORY

THEY had found the jap up In tree
Where he had climbed to the top to see
The GYPSY camp; he had lost his way.
In the tree he stuck and had to stay
For limb had broken and caught him tight
Hanging in air like balloon or kite
Mufies had led them to the tree
And the Prince and Dutchy set him free.
DE RABBITS, Prince, we thought we h-had,
We haven't got, )" said Dinkey Dadd
Day seem so glad wifi me to be
Dis pickaninny set EN- free.
Den when de fire got good and h-hot
De gray one he llook in de pot
Den whisper something to de w-whlte
An quick as s-scat day out of sight.
The Prince just laughed and to Dinkey said,
"You get some pepper, salt and bread,
And boiled potatoes and onions too
And I'll get rabbits for the stew.
Then he spoke to Mufies and off they went,
Back in the woods behind the tent
The cat ahead as the Princes guide
In search of the place where rabbits hide.
Muf1es soon found the white and gray:
The very two that ran away.
He used his eyes, those eyes of blue,
And looked those rabbits through and through.
Then turned about with Domino
And started back to the tent to show
The other boys what a cat can do
When he looks at eyes with eyes of blue
For the white and gray hoped close
behind
AS if the cat controlled each mind.
THE Jap was ordered to prepare the two
And get them ready for the stew,
While Dinkey grinned all round each cheek
And kept at work but he didn't speak.
The Prince and Dutchy lay down to rest
While the Jap and Dinkey did their best
To prepare each dish in an extra way
To please Prince Domino that day.
And this they did for the meal that night
Was cooked for royal appetite;
And late that night before they went to bed
Prince Domino to Dinkey said:
Your dinner Captain, was simply great.
don't remember when I ate
Such hearty meal as that to-day.
If you keep UP I'll raise your pay"
The Captain laughed and said that he

But since we don't like rabbit stew

And in a minute were out Of sight;

J. J. Knapp Loses Eye.

A piece of steel which had been
carried in the eyebalI for 36 years
without serious inconvenience, was
found by the specialist last week who
operated on the eye of j. j. Knapp, of
Hood River. Mr.. Knapp was formerly
part owner in food factory on Rel
mont street.
Besides the injury at the time the
steel flew into the eye, it was injured
three other times before it was finally
removed by surgery. When Mr..
Knapp was II years old he was watch
ing his father grind a pillow point, and
chip of steel imbedded itself in the
back part of the eyeball, traversing
the cornea and crystalline lens.
In 1889 the eye was injured when
Mr.. Knapp ran against a clothesline
and ground it into the eye. Then in
1908 his 6-year-old daughter accidently
struck it with her finger. Finally
when pruning trees, four months ago,
a twig struck the injured eye and
caused hemmorrhage and inflammation,
so that it became necessary to remove
the left eye to save the other. 1t was
then the piece of steel was found. The
operation was performed at the Port
land Sanltarium. -. OregOnian.

HOOD RIVER SMALL
BUT HAS THE GOODS

In an interview printed in the
Wenatchee Advance, well-known
apple buyer contrasted the Washington
section with Hood River. While he
told the Wenatchee folks that they
raised more apples than Hood River
he also gave them few tips on the
chow" Of putting fruit on the market.
There is great deal Of talk of the
Hood River apple district but few peo-
pie realize that this territory is very
limited" said the apple man.
Hood River is credited this year
with about 600 carloads Of fruit only.
| understand that the little district
Of Cashmere alone will produce CTS
carloads this year. Hood River gets
her reputation from the fact that she
produces very fine Yellow Newtowns
and Spitzenbergs, and also on account
of the quality of the pack, but as far
as area is concerned you people have
it all over the Oregon section, do
bel eve, that as far as marketing is
concerned, Hood River valley has it
over this valley That section is
thoroughly organized and modern
methods are used in marketing the
fruit. There is a big, strong organiza-
ton there .and Hood River always gets
top notch prices.

PROF. COLE TELLS
HOW TO PLANT

Rudiments of. practical apple tree
planting and apple culture were dis
cussed by Professor Cole, Of the Ore
gon Agricultural ACollege, before an
audience of 300 people in the auditor
ium of the Portland Y. NJ. C. A.
Saturday night. Professor Coles ad-
dress was lthe first of a series of lee
lures which will be given during the
Winter 'at the Y. NJ. c. A. on the
phases of apple growing industry.
A similar series last winter was very
popular and a number of the addresses
were made by Hood River apple men.
The speaker said that one of the
serious mistakes made by the earlier
orchardists was that they insisted on
planting the trees too closely together.
Experience has taught that better
results are obtained, he said, when the
trees are from 80 to 35 feet apart as
the trees will have a better chance to
develop and produce better quality
of fruit. 1t is absolutely necessary
that the trees should have plenty of
soil to feed on. This lis an axiom,
the speaker said, among all practical
orchardsts.
Care in selecting trees for plant
ing is another necessary feature IN set
ting Sout an orchard. said Professor
Cole. at is easy to set out an
orchard after learning the few rudi-
mentary principles. Many orchards
now in bearing are almost Valueless
from IA practical commercial stand
point because care was not exercised in
selecting the trees and in setting them
out. The tree that will ultimately
give the best results is the one that
was planted in its first year Of growth.
ut is also necessary that the tree
should have plenty of hbrous roots.
A tree of this kind properly set out
will almost invariably grow and bear
well, provided, OF course, it is given
the right kind Of care.
Other lectures to be given in the
series will be on the following sub
jects: Orchard Soil, "Soil

SOME CLASS SEEN AT
SALT PALACE SAUCER

A glance at the bunch Of riders train
ing at the Salt Palace saucer yester-
day would be enough to tell that the
opening of the season was not far
away. Jackie Clarke, Floyd McFar-
land and Walter DeMara took their
initial workout on the local track for
the season and showed fine form
All of the professionals are rounding
to in fine shape, and there will be
plenty of speed at the opening meeting
The bunch at the track yesterday in
Guided: Downing. Pye, Hopper, Sen
house, Clarke, Mcfarland, Duer, De-
Mara, Achorn, Burris, Walker, Keefe,
Dorian, Morgan and Wilcox There
were too many amateurs to count
With the arrival of liver Lawson, F.
z. Whittier, WhiskerS DevOnovitch
and Brownie Carslake, the professional
division that is to start on the opening
day will be complete.
AS the stars peddled around the old
track yesterday, Manager Harry Hea-
gren looked on with evident pleasure.
Starting late in the season he had
lined up for Salt Lake the best bunch
in the business, and he had a right to
smile,
