Amsterdam, July 1. Do believe
me, I've bad another full day. From
three tfclock this morning, Just
barely daybreak, to lafe at night
there'! boen something doing every
minute. For several hours in west
ern Germany the German farms and
the large manufacturing towns were
a study. Soon, came the Holland
frontier where we were obliged to
pass customs. We have now passed
through the ordeal some five times
but always without, difficulty and
with but little delay. The more
prompt one Is and the more free
to open ; the baggage the less the
officers are disposed to disturb
one's effects. They .ususlly inquire
whether we have any cigars and
cigarettes which seems to be the
chief grounds of offense among
smugglers in a small way.
But rural Holland!' From the
very borderline to the moment we
reached Amsterdam the low, white
corniced, steep-roofed, brick houses
were seen in country, villages and
even in the towns. Many of the
country homes are thatch roofed.
There . is more waste land in east
Holland than I supposed either i
boggy marsh land or light sand. Of
this latter, I was told by a bright.
young Hollandlsh son of a bulb
merchant on his return from Ger
many where he had spent the year
acquiring the language, great quan
tities are transported to the bulb
growers' gardens in the west or
Holland around Tarlem and Leyden.
They do it to lighten the boggy soil
and strangely enough, this sand has
to be applied about every third
year. It works' down into the sub
soil." This young gentleman Is an
artist too, He promised to paint a
little saucer with Holland scenery
just a hurry sketch for souvenir pur
poses. He would accept no pay. I
paid him well for postage. I won
der if he will.
As we approached Holland the
characteristic features of rural
Dutch life became more and more
pronounced. Small farms, ditched
harrow lands, varied crops with pas
ture and hay predominating, neat
and well kept premises, heavy wheel
ed carts, Holstein cows, goats,
sheep, geese, ducks, chickens and
scattered somewhat thinly as far as
eye could reach, the world ' famed
windmills. Occasionally I saw a
modern mill such as we are accus
tomed to at home.
In the afternoon we took the
celebrated trip to the Isle of Marken
and to Edam where the far famed
Edam cheese derived its name and
is still made to some, extent. We
pasesd through a rich dairy district
where the farmers at this season,
with excessive rains and cool wea
ther, are having an excessively hard
time to cure their hay crop. The
Edam people some 2000 of them
in the quaint little town have tak
en on modern ways as to dress. They
had just begun elaborate decora-

brate July ,23 and 24, the one-hun-dreOth
anniversary of an historic
event the comparative indepen
dence, both commercially and poli
tically, of the nation.
The little town of Vollendam of
equal size, has refused to part with
their ancient costume, ' (blouse
trousers for the men and long dress
es and aprons and a sort of whit
bonnet-csp for the women and girls,
and wooden shoes for all.) Those on
the Isle of Marken. about 1300 la
all, are even more pronounced In
their isolation. They grow hay and
pasture all over the Island hut the
principal Industry Is fishing. About
80 good sized sail boats were mass
ed in the harbor, row on row, like
soldiers, with bayonets.
Some have grown almost wealthy.
All take pride in displaying their
clean homes with wall beds, delft
were sanded or painted floors and
richly colored garments. The men
wear blouses too, only shorter. The
wooden shoes, made for the most
part of willow, and 'used by the
rural people and poorer classes
throughout Holland are left at the
door, everyone wearing heavy wool
en hose and some having house slip
pers besides. The people have a
church, the minister having but re
cently returned from a world con
ference of Reformed ministers.
We had short time for Amster
dam but enough' to visit the great
Dom church where Queen Wllhel
mlna who is greatly beloved by all
her people), worships during her
short stay Here for a period of fes
tivities In the fall. At present she
lives at her summer palace In a
little town which we passed through
early this morning while her real
home is at The Hague, the capital,
where we shall be tomorrow. Her
Amsterdam palace, used only occa
sionally for bref periods, is one
of the marvels of old Holland. It
was built to be the town hall In
the glorious days of Holland's gold
en age when she dominated the
world in commerce and to a good
degree In art.
With partitions of imitation mar
ble the great corridors were cut up
into splendid receptlm rooms, par
lors, dining rooms, etc. , The su
perb paintings,, statues, allegoricnl
sculpture, base reliefs and rich tap
estries still remain and reveal the
genius and splendor of past day..
In the gallery -we found pictures by
Rubens, Rembrandt and other cele
brated masters among them "The
Night Watch" one of the master
pieces of the latter.
Having made a hurried visit to
the diamond cutting establishment,
taken some street car excursions
about this ancient city with its hun
dreds of bridges and having observed
and mingled with the great mass of
Saturday night promenaders I have
come again to bedtime. So good
night.

ABOUT THAT QUEER ACTION
IN SELLING PARK AND STREET
Editor Reflector: Mayor Nichols
in a heated article in your columns
yesterday, ending with threats of
"exposure" of former councllmen it
they dare criticise him, makes what
he calls a defense of the city com
mlssloners' sale of the Third street
pafk. It is not clear what "expo
sure" has to do with the matter nor
Is his assumption that there is
knocking on Mr. Irey well taken.
The former city administration ex
tended the park idea, not curtailed
lt.r Nobody blames Mr. Irey; all
admire his smartness In getting for
a song the park property and part
of the street thrown in, and are
glad to see he is to make a hand
some profit.
The park was small to be sure
but it was something and if as May
or Nichols, says, it was a "dumping
ground" it was his business to see
that it was kept clean. In pretending
to give its cost to the city be con
ceals the cost of putting water on
the lot which was done so It might
be kept green. The property was
bought when lots were worth about
one tenth" their present value. So
the city did not nearly get Its money
back, considering the Interest He
has allowed the expensive shrubs to
die and sells It because it was not
kept up. His claim that it will
bring in some taxes is also true of
cutting up the city hall park, the
court house grounds and the school
ground DoAi the favor doing
that?
If the city wanted to sell the
park why did not the commission
ers openly advertise It and sell to
the highest bidder. Instead of on the
aulet? Would Mr. Nichols or Mr.
Johntz or Mr. Schreiner handle
their own property that way? He
knows very well that it would have
brought more money that way If
public sentiment had not stopped
the whole proceeding.
Ik Is a fine state of affairs when
a city park can be sold off hand and
part of a street vacated and thrown
In for good measure with no notice
to the public. We had one shining
example of the workings of com
mission government when petty
politics forced J. K. Forney off the
board and now we have another. It
is a wonder that the mayor has the
nerve to defend his action and his
attempt to ston, criticism by threats
of exposure is about the limit.
