Dresden is a beautiful city. es-
pecially the new portion. New Dres-
den" as it is called. It's population
| Is about 100000 This city differs
from Venice in religion. as only a
few are Catholics and the most arc
Luth Grams and Jews The royal
family are Catholics but there are
only three churches of that denomin-
alton in the city. The palace and
the cathedral are connected by a
passageway.
Elopcmcnt of Princess
About eight years ago the wife of
tho present king, who was then a
prince, ran away with the children's
music teacher. They had five chill
dren and the sixth was born in Italy,
The government took the child away
from the mother. but has to pay her
$500 per year. The people consider
1t great loss and a disgrace. as the
king has never married again We
were shown the carriage in which
she rode upon her wedding day. 1t
Is never used now. We saw one of
Napoleon's carriages and several
other ancient vehicles. l counted SO
carriages besides automobiles, hunt
ing traps and baggage outfits. The
guide said that there were only a few
OF the kings 300
We were shown the kings silver,
china. glassware and table linen;
not only thousands but millions of
dollars worth. The guide told us
that it all belonged to the king, but
upon his death it would all go back
to the government, to be used by the
kings that were to follow.
Dresden lies on both sides of the
is crossed many times by solid stone
bridges. which look as though they
would stand for thousands of years.
They are all built after the same
order, the old style, with piers and
archwaNs. | have not seen a single
bridge with less than six archways.
The river is very wide and is navi
gable.
Polite SmOkcStack
While sitting at table waiting for
my breakfast one morning and look
ing at the people coming and going
across one of these bridges, l saw a
steamer coming down loaded with
people and towing five large barges.
The current was very swift and AS
L glanced at the smokestack | held
my breath. In another moment
saw the stack begin leaning down
towards the deck and under she
came and up went the smokestack.
In other words the smokcstack made
polite bow and passed under. Now
why could this plan rot be adopted
in oregon especially at Portland
where thousands are held up daily
and hourly by river boats? Why
could they not give salute make a
bow and pass under and receive a
blessing from those above? | have
been compelled to wait at Young 8
Bay bridge and at Warrenton, from
% to 80 minutes on little Teddy,
and I am sure that one of these
boats is three times as large as
Teddy.
Clever Guide
We greatly appreciate our rides
about the city as they are so instruc-
tive. 1t is very amusing to see how
the guides will manage to get the
tourists to spend a little money. Yes
terday while riding through the park
in Dresden the guide said. "the
horses must have rest" We had
been going slowly and had been out
less than an hour. so we Will stop
at a most beautiful place, where
they always have fine music The
rest will do YOU good and you viii
feel better He spoke to the driver
In German and he answered coffee
II ushered us into a big beer gar
den and soon had us seated around
big table. Now" he said, ices,
lamorades or anything YOU IKE We
all selected. he included The bill
came and of course, American gallen-
try is always to the front, including
the tip. And we all felt better
