particular cities in certain way and
the poorest way of all to approach
almost any city Is by train. Never go
to Cadiz by rail. Better far. If You are
In mld-Spain and must use the roads
or the tedious ferrocarll. go to Seville
or over 70 Tangier in Africa and make
one OF those little voyages that are
regularly available, In order to come
upon Cadiz by way OF the sea. 1t is
generally acknowledged that there is
no other sea approach in the world
that Is so beautiful as this
Cadiz at such times and in such cir
cumstances Is a glorious picture In
white and blue. She rises up from the
sea on a small platform of limestone
rock which only a very narrow 18th
mus holds to the mainland. In ma
jestic silver beauty the houses with
their azoteas. or fat roofs. seem to
rise Ike fairy city above the deep
blue of the sea. their miradores or
view towers surmounting them. All are
heavily coated with whitewash fire.
quently renewed.
Always White and Clean.
Thus the city is always white, quite
smokeless. and is kept spotlessly clean.
1t giistens in the sun against the blue
Andalusian sky. with waters tapping
1t nearly all around. The poets and
the descriptive writers have almost ex-
hausted themselves In their use of fine
adjectives to describe its beauty and
yet they feel they have failed Span
iards call 1t their '.tazitn de plata" or
silver dish; some of them say it Is
more like "palacio de platan beauti-
fully chased. and from another aspect
floa ~ out upon the waters. No terms
are too stpng in which to speak of
Cadiz thus seen from the sea, for she
is indeed very beautiful. veritably "a
white pearl set in a crown of sapphires
and emeralds."
The interior of no city could COM
pletely match such an outside view.
but yet Cadlz, within, is good and
pleasant also. and is always extremely
clean. But 1t is very practical place.
and though It has its cathedral with
q spire rising over all, 1t has little in
the way of art-one of the Oldest cities
of Spain though 1t be-to attract the
visitors who need 1t for their Iinger-
ing at any place. 1t is a place to
wonder at, to tarry at for but little
while. and then to leave. knowing 1t
full well to be unforgettable. But in
the new days of travelling that are be-
ginning. no person who wanders
toward the south of Spain should.
through neglect, miss seeing Cadiz
from the water. 1t will live in his
memory when he has forgotten many
pictures. 1t will hold Its place in his
esteem even when he comes face to
face with the Incompatible Bay of

Los Angeles, Calf, Dec. 21.-Wash-
ington D. Vanderlip, who obtained q
sixty year lease Of the kamchatka
Peninsula from the Russian govern
ment for Los Angeles syndicate, ex-
pressed confidence, in a statement Civ
en- out here that the trade contracts
with the Russian government he
brought back with him will do more
to restabilize the world than anything
neace treaties or the league of nations
has been able to accomplish
Russia must have supplies and she
wants to buy them from the United
States rather than any other country
because she considers this country is
the only real friend She has in the
world" said Mr.. Vanderlip, who re-
turned to his home here.
"These orders which l have receiv-
ed have already exerted tremendous
prssure upon the governments OF
France and England. AS soon as the
news of them was given to the world
the British government assumed a
more reasonable attitude in dealing
with the Russian trade commission
headed by Kameneff."

An explosion damaged the interior
OF the Capital steam laundry just af.

Fire which followed caused consid,

w. B. Couch, Immediately after the
fire was eXtinguished, called for a
corps Of wOrkmen, and he declared
there would be practically no inter
Tuption of business. All the machin-
cry appeared intact. he said.
The explosion originated in a gas:

There was terrific force to the blast
Practically every window on the first
floor was blown out. Several employ.
es were thrown down or against ma

" is considered remarkable that
there were no serious injuries. Clara

the laundry, was cut about the face

Cne or two others were bruised

The blast rocked the building and

Mr. Bagly.
The forged securities, he said, were

Two proposals for legislation for
the benefit of the cities of the state
may go before the legislature. They
are:
That the cities be permitted to
levy a tax for advertising pur.
pv,uS.
That the cities be permitted to
levy Il tax to he used by an ass0-
citation Of cities in cOnteSting util-
ity advances which affect many
cities.
The Bismarck Commercial club has
issued bulletin in which the pro
posal to ask the Legislature for au-
thority for the levying of tax fol
city advertising purposes is outlined
1t is proposed that cities have power
20 levy a tax not exceeding one mill
each year, to be kept in a special
fund until the city is ready to use it
for the purpose of advertising the
city's possibilities and advantages to
the world as a home and as a location
for factories and other legitimate en-
:erprises."
A further provision is made as fol-
lows: Provided, however, that in
case there is such body of citizens
organized as a Commercial club and
incorporated under the laws of the
state for the purpose of developing
such city and protecting and ad.
vancing it's interest, the governing
body of such city may in it's discre.
tion turn over such fund or any part
thereof to such association for pay.

tising and publicity as aforesaid"
City Attorney O'Hare, when the bull
letin was read at the city commits.
sion meeting last night, advanced
the second suggestion.
Cites Telephone Case
He said that in such a case as the
telephone rate case, which is now
pending before the state railroad com
mission, the telephone companies ask
ed increases covering practically al
of the large cities and towns of thu
state and toll taxes. The telephone
companies doing a state business, pre-
+ serted their case as applying to-thei1
business as whole and single rep
'esentative of single city could no
hope to match such testimony, ht
said.
His proposal was for an association
of cities, with power to levy tax
Or to derive portion of tax fol
advertising. This association coult
contest such rates suits, employing
experts to make investigation of the
case as whole he said.
Some Of the members of the com
mission felt that the railroad com
mission ought to have experts to rep
resent the public, rather than merely
sitting as judicial body, but generally
approved the idea for body repre-
senting all cities to act in all mat
ters in which cities as clash are
affected.

COON STRIKE

New York, Dec. 21.-One hundred
and thirty-eight fire insurance COM
panies are suspending their business
in Mississippi where their aggregate
covering policies amount to approx
mately $1,25O,OO0,OO0 This action is
an outgrowth of a suit filed against
them by the state revenue agent Of

the same rate the companies have
created a combine in restraint OF

Announcement of the suspension
was made here today by the national
board of fire underwriters.
1t was explained that the state rev.
