SOBER CONGRESS IN AND0RRA
Parliament of Tiny State Ruled by
Tradition.

Pafliahheht OF lidy state Ruled by
Tradition.
The parliamentary procedure of An
DORA, the tiny independent state
which lies sandwiched between France
and Spain, is of the quaintest kind.
Parliament having been called for a
certain day, the honorable members
arrive in groups on horses or mules
shod with the usual Andorran foot
gear white corded sandals.
The Sasa de la Walls serves at the
same time for palace. parliament and
prison. not to mention stables for the
members steeds. After stabling the
animals on the ground floor the mem
bers ascend to the hailfof deliberations,
change their sandals for shoes and put
on the official costume-a long black
sort of robe and huge three cornered
hat. These when not in use hang in a
row on pegs at the bottom of the hail.
The next proceeding is mass in the
chapel, tiny and bare, dedicated to the
Holy Ghost; then comes meal served
on an oaken table without a cloth and
eaten off antique pewter plates. Be
tween every two members stands
huge porron, and each drinks in turn
out of this pitcher. In this home of
archaieism everything is done accord
ing to tradition. Even the daily menu
is the same today as it was centuries
ago

NEW YORK OUT-VENICES
FAMOUS WATERWAY CITY
More Islands, Rivers and Canals About
Manhattan.

Venice. the queen of the Adriat1c.
with her 1871 interlacing canals that
form 118 islands. is less of a water
city than is the metropolis of America,
for New York has a greater navigable
water front than any other city in the
world. The waters within the bound
aries of Venice could be swallowed
up by the currents that ebb and flow
within New York and make no per-
ceptible addition to them. New York
has just as much moonshine and lots
more water. and, though the guitar
and musical voice of the gondoIier are
not heard, other voices, less romantic,
are heard on almost every sort of craft
that floats in water.
New York's Islands are more in num-
Der than those of Venice, and in ia
maica bay alone are as great possibili-
ties as the lagoon of Venice ever pre-:
sented for a beautiful city-still re-
naming possibilities. If Venice were
placed in the center of that bay there
would be more eXpanse of water
around it than there is now in the
entire lagoon of Venice.
In New York city are 204 miles of
navigable water front, from the UMPIRE
tentious kills of Staten Island to the
great Atlantic that washes the Coney
Island shore and beaches of Rockaway.
Much of the city is islands. and what
is not are great Deninsulas more than
half surrounded by water
Richmond alone has nearly forty
miles of shore line. and Manhattan has
thirty more miles where bows of the
greatest ships that float can reach over
the land. Queens and the Bronx have
fifty miles. which embrace the wester-
II end of Long Island sound. and the
winding shores of Brooklyn. with the
great Jamaica bay, make up the rest

OUT WEST-"OVER CROWDED.
A friend who has been "out west
several months has returned home anc
in giving his experience of travels stated
that the territory known and called ''ou
west" in which is embraced Oklahoma
is over crowded with men who are
home seekers, but who can obtain nc
home, except on paying the fullest price
for land of little value, at least when
compared to the lands of Caddo and
other sections of the State.
In the towns there is little induce
ment, if any, for men of limited means
The towns are overcrowded and there
may be seen employed as walters in
restaurants, lunch houses and hotels
young men of culture who have come
west to make their fortune "but have
gone broke"
The conditions out west" related by
this Caucasian's friend are not exagger-
ated. Indeed this condition "out ives"
has been confirmed by two gentlemen
who are also friends of the Caucasian,
who have been "out west" and talked
of natural gas and oil, which was rev
citation to some of the people "out west
who until then had never heard of the
gas and oil fields of Caddo.
The purpose of this article is not to
criticise the conditions "out west" but
to impress the people of this section of
the Importance of intelligent action in
securing many of the home seekers in
Oklahoma and the country ''out west
who have been disappointed and are
ready to change location, especially if
there is offered to these home seekers
such advantages in soil and climate and
reasonable possibilities can be obtained
in Caddo parish and this section of the
State.
It is well to talk of good roads and
Of other things, but let not this oppor-
tunity of securing desirable home seek
ers be neglected.
e may Be worth while for the Cham
Der of Commerce to direct some of its
efforts towards the west, and now is the
time for action
