American Consul Overlooked
Some Possibilities.
High and Mighty Ruler of Zanzibar
Suffered, and Major Riley Came
Back to America.

Nice little nations Of the western
world are being feted and petted and
cuddled nightly by Uncle Sam these
days. Hardly month passes that the
urbane and diplomatic secretary Of
state, Mr. Hughes, doesn't hold love
feast with a group of them, writes
William Pickett Helm in the Wash
ington Star.
Central America is having her turn
now. A while ago it was that Tacna-
africa business. Next month, likely as
not, new batch Of wrinkles will be
ironed off the map Of the two Amer
icas
We treat these proud and spunky
little fellows with all the courtesy and
decorum accorded the ambassadors Of
our mightiest neighbors. We make
them feel at home. We say mister"
and please" But it was not always
thus. Oh, no!
We used to use cuss words and
shotguns and shirt sleeves Take the
case of Major Riley and the queen Of
Zanzibar.
Major Riley, years ago, was the
American consul at Zanzibar. He
lived in a house that overlooked
lake and to the lake there came daily
male and female inhabitants of Fan
zibar to disport themselves in the
placid and cooling waters.
The frank untutored natives Of the
domain Of Zanzibar had never heard,
1t seems, the ways of the white man
on the bathing beach. Not knowing,
they had to shift for themselves in
natures garb.
So, by long established custom, it
became a common sight for the consul
and his staff to behold the beach well
filled with bathers unadorned For
many years they came thus and bathed
and went.
Riley protested. There was no
abatement of the practice. He pro-
tested again and again, but still nude
bathing beauties cluttered up the view
from his front porch.
One day, however, Major Riley had
visitors from afar-white men and
women who had come to spend few
days at the consulate. And. Of course,
the visitors were shocked and hOrri-
fed. They hurried to their host.
There are Il thousand naked dark
les in your front yard" they told him.
"Are you going to stand for it?"
81 am not" said Riley. 1--WE
warned them once and I've warned
them twice; yes, three times. Here's
where show 'em they can't get away
with me-"
So he took down rusty old shot
gun, loaded it with birdshot and went
into the yard, while the visitors
watched to see what would happen
next.
"Skidool" he yelled. twenty
three!" All of which was snappy
slang in that day and time
But the natives merely looked up
and smiled. They kept on bathing.
Riley put the weapon to his shoulder,
squinted down the barrel and pulled
the trigger.
Wild yells. Great animation. A
deserted bathing beach. Smiles from
within the consulate.
The next day Riley received a note
from the queen of Zanzibar In sub
stance 1t said:
"Please send me your white man
medicine man. I haven't been able to
sit down since yesterday"
Riley had filled the queen Of Zanzi-
bar with birdshot. A short time after
that he was recalled.

WATER RUNS THROUGH
STREETS OF PORTLAND
AS RIVER OVERFLOWS
City's Bridges Ordered
Closed as Unsafe for
Traffic.

Portland, Ore, Jan. s.-Driving
with resistless power, the willamette
river at Portland today had risen to
more than % feet above normal, flood
ing the docks and water was running
in lower streets along the water front
and causing great damage.
The huge volume of water, pouring
down the Willamette valley and fed
by a hundred tributary streams, bore
immense quantities of logs and drift
of all kinds, which lodged against the
piers of the city's bridges and rendered
them unsafe for traffic. They were
closed by city officials.
Reports from points southwark
through the Willamette valley were
that many river tributaries to the
Willamette had begun to fall and it
was hoped that the crest of the flood,
the worst experienced in western
Oregon in 80 years, would be reached
here today. Official weather forecast
gave promise of moderation of the
flood after today, but a continuation of
rain, with warning from the Column
bia rivers entrance, of an approaching
southerly gale, gave rise to apprehen-
sion.
The upper Willamette valley yester-
day resembled great inland sea. Its
waters Tapped the thresholds of hun
dreds of homes in both city and coun-
try far flung through the level valley
land.
Cities and hamlets between Eugene
and Portland, distance of 125 miles,
reported extensive damage.
