Interested in World.

The grand duchess interest in the
outside world is patent. She asked me
eagerly to tell her how things were 60
ing in Petrograd. and her face sad
dened when 1 told her of the riotous
and bloody events had witnessed dur
ing the days of the July revolution,
scarcely past.
Times are very bad with US just
now she said. but they will improve
soon. l am sure The Russian people
are good and kind at heart, but they
are mostly children-big, ignorant, i'm
pulsive children. If they can find good
leaders. and if they will only realize
that they must obey their leaders. they
will emerge from this dreadful chaos
and build up a strong, new Russia.
Have you seen kerensky. and what do
you think of him?'
I replied rather cautiously. Like
every one else, I still hoped that Ke-
rensky would succeed in getting his re-
leased giant back into it's bottle. and
did not want to unsettle any ones con-
fidence in him even to the extent of an
was greatly admired and liked. and I
hoped he might prove the strong leader
Russia needed in her trouble.
II hope so.' replied the last of the
Romanoffs, and l pray for him every
day"
The bells of the little church chimed
the hour softly, and the grand duchess
paused to cross herself devoutly.
Il want to hear about those wonder
full public schools of yours" she said,
but first tell me what America is do
ing in war preparation"
AS talked she listened. noddng and
smiling as if immensely pleased. The
great airplane feet in course of con-
struction seemed to amaze and delight
her, and when L told her of the con-
servation of the food supply and the
restriction of the manufacture of alco-
hol she fairly glowed.
America is simply stupendous." she
exclaimed. How I regret that 1 never
went there. OF course ] never shall
now. To me the United States stands
for order and efficiency of the best kind.
The kind of order only a free people
can create. The kind 1 pray may be
built some day here in Russia.

your soldiers from the danger of the

how much good the abolition of! vodka

Elizabeth Feodorovna kept me for

which she is eager to see in Russia:
about American women and their part
in the war and about welfare work for
children, especially for tubercular and

VISIT TO ONLY FREE MEMBER OF
ROYAL FAMILY IN NEW RUSSIA
Mrs. Dorr Describes Convent and Remark
able Interview With Widow of the
Grand Duke Serge.

Of the convent? Everything! She
laughed and touched little bell on the
desk beside her. A little nun appeared
and Nine. Gardeeva handed me over to
her with orders that l wanted to see
everything.
1 saw a small but perfectly equipped
hospital with an operating room COM
plete in all it's details. The hospital
had been devoted % poor women and
children before the war. Now most OF
the wards are filled with wounded SOL
dlers. L saw room filled with blinded
soldiers who were being taught to read
by sweet-faced nuns. Blindness is bit
ter hard for any man. but for illiterates
it must be blank despair. I saw a house
full of refugee nuns from the invaded
districts of Poland.
l saw an orphanaEe full of slain SOL
dfers' children. I fingered long in the
lovely garden where nuns were at
work.
We went back to the convent and I
the private retreat Of the lady abbess.
The door opened and the grand
duchess came in with radiant smile
OF welcome and a white hand out
| had time to meet you today, Mrs.
Dorr. she said. in rarely sweet voice.
our highness speaks English? I
exclaimed in surprise. and she replied,
WAVING me to a comfortable armchair,
had forgotten for the moment that
the grand duchess and her younger
sister, the former Empress of Russia.
were daughters of the Princess Alice
of England and granddaughters of
Queen Victoria. Russia seemed to
have forgotten also and to have re-
membered only that the father of these
women was the Grand Duke of Hesse
and the Rhine.
The grand duchess added when we
were seated, that when she was child
at nome they always spoke English to
their mother, If German to their father
Z welcome an opportunity to speak
English. because If one is wholly Rus
sian, as l am. and especially If one is
orthodox. he hears little except Rus
sian or French" Then she said. with
| another radiant smile:
Tell me what you think Of my con-
vent"
I told her that felt as though I had
stepped back into the glowing and ro-
mantle thirteenth century.
That is just what I wanted-xuy con-
vent to be-" she replied. "one Of those
busy, useful medieval types. Such con-
vents were wonderfully efficient aids
to civilization in the middle ages. and
l don't think they should have been
allowed to disappear. Russia needs
them certainly. a kind of convent that
fills the place between the austere, in
closed orders and the life Of the out
side world. We read the newspapers
here. we keep track of events and we
receive and consult with people in
active life. We are Marys, but we are
Marthas as WELL"

q. s. MATCHES GOLDFISH.
Seventeen Ponds Used at Thornburg,
Iowa,

From the Marine Journal.
Goldfish grow and thrive in the nat
ural state, and frequently attain q
length Of from ten to fourteen inches.
The United States has several goldfish
hatcheries. the largest of which is In
the vicinity OF Thornburg. Iowa, where
there are seventeen ponds in which
these beauties of different varieties are
kept. Cooked oatmeal is the staple on
which they are fed. and their vegetable
food consists of nibbling on the abund-
ant moses that abound, in the ponds.
A prime necessity for goldfish is pure
water. without which they cannot live.
In order to insure their being abund-
antly supplied in the hatchery at
Thornburg. windmills are employed to
pump the fresh water up from deep
wells. 1t is only when kept in proper
surroundings that these fish acquire
their brilliant colorings SO much ad-
mired by those who love to make pets
of them in glass tanks or bowls.

Forest Road Plans
Meet With Approval

Formal approval has been given by
the secretary Of agriculture to the
three year construction plan Of forest
roads adopted by the state highway
commission and the United States for
est service.
The plan calls for an expenditure in
the national forests Of Oregon OF $l,-
ll4.194. To this the counties interest
ed appropriated s131, ,694. The state
and federal government will each con
tribute $491, ,250.
The construction work will be done
by the United States office Of public
roads independent of the state.
OF the ID projects included in the
plan only three have been surveyed,
They are the Mt. Hood loop in Hood
River county, the Mckenzie pass in
Deschutes county and the Crater lake
road in Jackson county.
II is probable that actual eonstrue'
tion will begin ON these three projects
this year.
The amounts Of money set aside for
them are AZ follows: Mt. Hood loop
1926 900, Mckenzie pass $150,OOO, Cra-
ter lake $4,000.

Suit May Test the
Road Bond Measure

Under the terms Of the $6O00,0O
state road bond act the highway com
mission is authorized to issue 4 ,0O0,-
900 this year.
The commission Is preparing to call
for proposals and has asked firm
of Boston attorneys, specialists in the
legality of bond issues, to render an
opinion as to the soundness Of fhe pro
posed issues. This will probably make
unnecessary friendly suit in the sup.
rene court.
The bonds are to bear four per cent
interest, but owing to the abnormal
conditions there is some doubt as to
whether bond buyers will offer to take
them at par.
A number of dealers in bonds have
advised the commission that it is not
likely they will be taken at par. This
is no reflection on tile financial abil-
ity of the state but it is due TO the
prevailing high rate for money.
As an alternative proposition the com
mission has given informal considera-
tion to the suggestion that contractors
be paid in bonds at par value instead
Of cash.
1t is appreciated, however, that con-
tractors will incorporate in their prices
the difference between the face value
of the bonds and what they would bring
in the market.
The commission has practically de-
cided to call for bids on the issue and
if satisfactory offers are not obtained
then consider another expedient.

Suggestions Made
For Motor Tourists

Summer and the exodus, of city dwell
lers into the glorious sunshine and in
yigorating air Of the open road is al
hand. The motor ear has entered into
its own. The situation is more pro
nounced this year in Oregon than il
ever has been before.
Aud it is admitted by the best in
formed authorities that this year will
witness an era of pleasure touring the
like of which Oregon has never before
known.
Long and short tours, weekend and
vacation motor journeys and family
and club tours have started and will
continue to increase in popularity as
the summer wears on.
Mistakes of motorists starting out
on such journeys in the past have been
given more or less publicity through
the medium Of the comic papers and
magazines. Therefore, the motorist in
starting out on a similar expedition
especially if it is his first experience
naturally pays little attention to these
humorously reported incidents.
But there is q decided moral to them
and to these q prominent auto distri'
butor has sent ont little device which
Incorporates the following suggestion
"Don't pack up everything in sight
when you start on your motor-eamp
ing trip; to take along your household
furniture may be ell right as pre-
caution measure, but its exceedingly in
convenient, may prove expensive anC
troublesome and is unnecessary.

SHORTAGE OF TIRES
MAY TEACH LESSON

A threatened scarcity of tires in the
present season, upon which the war will
have some bearing, will have the eff
| feet of making the motorist heed the
advice of the large tire manufacturers
in the proper care of their tires.
We never have advised, from a sell
| fish point of view, that motorists give
their tires every care and attention,
said H. j. Morehead, manager of New
York rubber store. All of the vast
amount of literature which we have is
sued on this subject has been sent out
with the idea of educating automobile
owners in the proper care of their tires,
so that they might get the maximum of
service from them. The seriousness of
this advice win be brought home to
thousands of motorists, in the present
year, for the approximate waste of $50
ear owner in the 1916 season has been
estimated eonservatively at $I50,000,-
600 for the entire country. All of this
has resulted from negligence of the
ear owner.
Tire manufacturers see hundreds of
living examples of this negligence ev-
cry day. A remedy must be effected
soon, for this extravagant waste can
not continue. 1t has been almost impos-
sible for the tire manufacturers to keep
pace with the production of new cars
and at the same time meet the demands
of cars already in use. An actual short
age in certain sizes exists at this time.
Owing TO the alertness of great many
dealers, it may be two or three months
before the consumer feels this short
age but it must come, and when it
does, motor car owners will be more I'M
pressed with the idea of giving care to
their tires.
