and around the city there are strange
~ interesting things to be seen in tho
native town of Pettah and along tho
drives that run through the tropical
jungle.
No visit to Ceylon is complete with
out a sojourn in Handy, the chill capt.
tall of the wonderful island. 1t is
there at an altitude of 1902 feet above
the sea level that the white residents
of Colombo go for rest and recupera"
ton from the enervating effects Of
prolonged stay in the low-lying me-
tropolis. During the winter season
the climate of Handy is tempered with
just enough GOODNESS to make it a re-
sort for health and. pleasure seekers.
The town of Handy does not occupy
the most altitudiaous point in Ceylon.
The wonderful town of Nttwara Eliya,
which is located in the FOUNTAINS s.
24O feet above; the sea, attracts many
visitors who have plenty Of leisure in
which to view and thoroughly enjoy
the magnificent scenery and strange
attractions that the island possesses.
Splendid highways connect many OF
the tow1ss Of the island and motor car
tours ase one Of the favorite forms OF
outdoor enjoyment Of the visitors.
For shorter trips to points of inter
ESD the rikshaw is commonly used.
There are a number of buried cities

these mysterious remains of bygone
age are of unfailing interest to the
traveller who has a liking for aTcheo-
logical research. Tha tsaat famous or

BY MARK DANIELS,

General Superintendent and Landscape
Engineer of National Parks)
~aRATER LAKE National park has
been termed by many the eighth
wonder Of the world. Nesting
~ in the heart of a great noun
tain which, in ages past, was a
living volcano, 5000 feet above the
sea, with it's sapphire surface unruf-
fed, rejecting the many-hued surfaces
of the 1000 feet high crater walls
which surrounded it, it is undoubtedly
one of the most exquisite gems of
color to be found in the world. It's
blue surpasses the blue of the Bay of
Naples in richness and intensity and
its somewhat weird surroundings,
pregnant with mystery and solitude,
are in perfect harmony with the placid
repose of it's surface.
There are glaciers in many cOun-
tries, high peaks, water falls, cascades,
forests and fields of wild flowers to be
found in many lands, but there is only
one Crater lake. Individuality is as
difficult of attainment in scenery as it
is in persons, and in Crater Lake Ma
tional park one finds it to an extreme
degree.
The people of the United States are
particularly fortunate in the posses
sion of their national parks in that al
most every one of them has a marked
and striking individuality and con-
tains within it's boundaries some fea-
lures which will leave a lasting i'm
preston and will be source of Joy
and pleasure when other things are
forgotten; but of all the sights that
can be had in the scenic reservations
of our country, perhaps none will
strike the observer with such force

which, at this latitude is covered with
SHOWS for many months of the year;
it is however, the most practicable
place at which to locate the govern
ment headquarters and to establish
small village consisting of few
stores and supply stations. It is not
however, at the rim Of the crater and
therefore could never, under any cir
cumstances, be place where tourists
would be content to stay, for there Is
ever the mountain top with the lake
beyond reckoning the traveller to the
goal Of his pilgrimage.
The establishment of the village on
the rim of the crater overlooking the
lake would be ideal, but in certain sea.
sons the SHOWS are so late in melting
that tourists might never reach the viii
lage in the season of their travel. The
solution, therefore, appears to be q
double village or two stations, one at
the lower level, which opens several
weeks before the upper levels and one
at the rim of the crater. BY this
means tourists may arrive at the lower
station, where accommodations may
be found, and proceed to the rim of
the crater by foot when the road is
not passable for vehicular traffic. AT
the rim of the crater should be estab-
lished a secondary village in which
sleeping and eating accommodations
are provided, together with stores and
studios which might supply the wants
of the tourists.
Sailing and Fishing on the Lake.
The desire of the tourist upon arriv'
ing at Crater Lake National park is to
reach the rim of the crater at the
earliest time. Once there, his all-con.
Stunning desire is to descend to the

that is Ceylon. And of Colombo,
what can be said? It is there that the
world travellers from the four winds
meet; it is there that one hears the
languages Of almost every land in the
two hemispheres spoken, writes w. d.
Hornaday in Grit.
In no city of the world is there to
be found day by day more cosmopoli-
tan transient population than in Col
ombo. It is port of call for many
steamships that ply regularly between
points in the far East and Europe, and
between Australia, New Zealand and
Europe. 1t is there one meets elephant
and tiger hunters of India, tea plant
ers, spice buyers officers of the army
and navy of many nations, wool buy
ers who pass to and fro between
England, France and the far-off lands
of Australia and New Zealand. The
island kings-the cocoanut princes
from the coral dots Of the Indian
ocean and the South Seas gather there
for a season. of social pleasures; the
American millionaire comes into the
harbor in his yacht and lends to the
gayety of the scene ashore by the
prodigal way in which he scatters his
money around.
Every Singalese man and boy is a
natural merchant and trader. From
the youngest to the oldest they ever
have an eye to business. Even the
street arabs-little fellows not yet in
their 'teens-have an ability to size uI
the white visitor with a degree of &C
curacy that is almost uncanny.
On the way to the post Office was

Tuesday, August 10, 1915, Sam l..

in Nc Lain, Miss. He has been in
feeble health every since the death
of his devoted wife last year, and
lately he has declined rapidly, though
few nays back he had rallied some
and was able to set up.
DIR. ]. E. Green, Ben Z. Green
and Writ Green all of McLain are
sons Of his, and Mrs. ]. G. Daugh-

are other members OF his household,

to the memory of the deceased. Mr..
Green was well up in years; IN fact
the oldest one of the Green brothers;
he was a civil war veteran.

has been using the seed for several
years and we expect to save seed
from it and raise some melons of sim
liar variety next wear, for it's large

ried as Democratic Nominees subject
to confirmation in the General cleo
ton in November. However, this
pretty we'll covers the county situa-
ton, but if there be any one left off,
he can get on by paying a dollar, and
nave his name appear as the demo-
cratic party favorite for his office
from now till November. In states
where there are two active parties,
the newspapers have but carried out
about half of the announcing service.

The figures are not available as we
get to press, but Martin Miller has
been elected as district attorney by
an overwhelming majority carrying
Greene, Wayne and Lauderdale by
large majorities. We haven't yet
seen the Clarke vote, Mr.. Fatherrees
home county, but will procure and
publishall of them 10 our next issue.
It's time to begin looking toward
electlng a new county democratic
executive committee, We presume
that the bunch of red tape prescib-
ed by the code embodying beat de-
egates chosen by precinct mass
meetings will not be followed, as such
plan was found too cumbersome
four years ago and county mass
meeting the day after the second
primary was found about the best
plan. Some of the present members
have expressed desire to retire.
They can be reelected, but its best
to rotate pretty largely as that keeps
down tendencies towards forming a
ring rule for political monopoly of
power. Those who have political
ambition should observe good taste
and either retire or decline being
given berth on such committee for
the next four years as they would
have to drop out later on if they be-
came candidates and then the CON-
mlttee would itself have to fill such
vacancy, and its generally conceded
that self-perpetuating boards is an
unamerican institution, 80 let the
people select at first, men who are
not directly in politics and let due
balance be preserved. Let no one
faction name all the members from
any one beat as that looks and is
selfish.
