ELD Z T WILLIAMS LETTER

From Naples to Rome

Editor of the NewsMy last was mailed at Naples

and covered our journey from Ath-ena

¬

to NaplesWe spent two full days at Na ¬

ples The next day after our ar ¬

rival we visited the ruins of Pom-

peii¬

and Mt Yesurius Pompeiiisnbout 15 miles by rail from Na ¬

ples and we arrived about 0 30oclock in the morning We sawthe ruins first and they were be-

yond our expectation in extentIt is an ancient city unearthedwith the tops of all the buildingsremoved to about the second sto¬

ry All the streets are perfectthe shops and dwellings theatersand courts just as they were whensubmerged It is impossible forone to describe the grandeur andimmensity of this old city unearth ¬

ed On August 28d 79 A Dthis thriving city of 80000 inhab-itants

¬

were totally submergedanddestroyed by the eruption of Ves ¬

vius It lasted three days pour-

ing¬

out torrents of inflamablematter pomace stones boilingwater and ashes utterly destroy-ing

¬

the city with about 2000 peo-ple It remained undisturbed for1800 years until 1814 Excava ¬

tions wore begun in 1848 underCharles III with some interrup-tions

¬

but since 1868 the work hascontinued without interruptiontfpw tho work is about completed

The houses are all built after onep lan The streets are narrow undwell paved with stone with verynarrow side walks There aresome ruins of very fine residencesindicating ancient wealth and lux ¬

ury We were shown one richmans house with court galleryfine bedrooms with specimens ofvery rare paintings well preservedfininghall kitchen with ancientvessels of copper and furnaces for-

ookingc instead of stoves as we-

ave now The paintings are fre-

scoed and welled preserved Inthe Museum of Pompeii there arebodies of men and women petrifi-ed

¬

and the bodies show the agonyiu which they died some withlegs drawn half up others on theirfaces j and two persons who musthave been husband and wife whoseem to have embraced each otherand then fell apart cementingtogether their lower limbs Onedog well preserved shows ho died

in great agony one boy eight ornine years old and all kinds ofdomestic animals All the peoplehad warning in time to have got-

ten out but about 2OQQ remainedand perished So it will be in thedayof judgment People are be-

ing warned now of the judgmentbut they will not heed

After we were through seeingthe ruins of Pompeii we arrangedto climb Vesuvius We engagedcarriages part of the way wenthorseback part of the way andhtetway youcome to where you must walkthen it is difficult I was notijrerywell that day and I stopped at thefoot where the climbing beganand waited for my friends to re ¬

turn watching the grand old furnace as it belched forth a cloud oblack smoke every few minuteswhich floated majestically in the

redair until the mountain was clearagain Lconcluded I was a nearas I cared to be It was more ac ¬

tive that day than it had been forsometime About the 18th to the15th there were some eruptionswhich did some damage to therailroad which climbs the moun ¬

tain nearly to the top While ourparty was on top a very large puffcame forth with stones and cin ¬

derv which frightened them verymuch Que large Bone fell witHcazfiYwagnot go plo ef

The party down we mountedsteeds to return to Naples I bada very large strong grey horse toride up the mountain and I un-

dertook ride him back but Ino sooner mounted in the sadduntil he rared up before and be-

hind¬

until he got me up in the airand then I was dashed down amongthonggyph

on Vesuvius but when I felt pfi r

J

t

myself a little and got up I foundthere was no serious damage doneand I felt thankful for the escapeand walked most the way downUpon investigation I found thatthe old horse was a regular bucker and no one could ride him attimes I offered the man we con ¬

tracted with a halffranc to ridehim but he refused

Vesuvius is rather a dangerousvolcano Since its first eruptionin A D 79 when PompeiiandHerculanum were destroyed therehavebeen fifty others recordedOne of the most destructive occur ¬

red December 16 1531 when TerreAnnunziata and Terre Del Grecowere destroyed and 8000 peopleperished The last one of anynote occurred April 26 1872 inwhich fifty persons perishedMany people fear that there willbe another eruption at any time

The next day we visited theplaces of interest in the wily ofNaples The museum is the mostinteresting one Italy Most ofthe things of interest found atPompeiiare in the museum at Na-ples There are some very finestatues there among the most im-portant

¬

are those of the RomanEmperors That of Julius Cesaris the best in existence a colos-

sal¬

sal bust adorned in military troph ¬

ies is very fine The statue ofTitus Trajan Vespasian any manyothers are seen there The acquarium here is one of the best in

FROM CALIFORNIA

siWAUXENABDITOB OF NEWS

It is an old and true adage That itshard to tell Wheres Wandering Wil¬

lie So I suppose it will be no sur¬

p rise to my Kentucky friends to knowthat Fm now located in the beautifulvalley of the San Joaquin River ip this

Golden btater California-

I left Hlllsboro Texas on the morn¬

ing of May 17 and arrived here fivedays later Language Inadequate todescribe the many wonders which Isaw pn my trip After leaving FtWorth we reached the plains of WestTexas and to say that the scene isanything but Inviting is putting itmildly The only vegetation visibleis a small prickly sedge a few dwarfmosquito bushes I was told that ithad only rained once in 15 monthsBut it was only when we struck the

American Sahara in eastern Califor-nia that It seemed as though we hadpassed the dead line As far as wecould see in every direction was noth ¬

ing but sand valleys of sand moun ¬

tains of sand and clouds of sand Theheat in this forsaken place was almostunbearable and it was indeed a reliefwhen we reached the Dragoon Mountains on the peaks of which we couldsee snow One thing which we wit ¬

nessed on the desert that was entirelynew to most of the passengers and eS-

pecially to me was the mirage of thedesert In the distance you can appar-ently

¬

see large bodies of water so per¬

fect is the vision that you can see talltrees mountains etc reflected on itsbosom But as you approach theseplaces the imaginary water vanishesand the burning sand is all that is leftto greet your tired and dust filled eyesWe were told that many years ago num-

bers¬

of travelers lost their lives in try-ing to reach these enticing yet de-ceitful and treacherous places

Waukena is located in the center ofSan Joaqin Valley and is in the midstof the wheat district For miles andmiles in each direction from here thereissue continuous field of wheat Onefirm in San Francisco own over 15

thousand acres of this land which isall in cultivation and will yield thisyear about ten bushels per acre Thisis slightly over halt the ordinary yieldyet more than twice what it has beenthe past two years owing to the unu ¬

sual drouths of those years Harvest ¬

ing began about June the first Thewheat Isjcut threshed sackedand dropped In the field ready for marketbyone machine and it requires 34 horsesto draw one of these machines Thewages paid men in the harvest arefrom 2 to 400 per day and at pres-

ent¬

figures farmers can not hope to re¬

alise more than 45c per bushel fortheir wheat Thus it will be seen thatafter paying rent as most of them do

their income will be small this yearBut as beautiful as are these unboun ¬

ded fields of wheat they become a wIl-

derness¬

compared with the orchardsand vineyards south and west of hereneveroseen anything of the kind these or¬

ange groves are Immense and beautifuloY fer cen us¬

ters of delicious grapes banging froevery vine and of lovely orange groves

ladened with ripening fruit and sweetwith the perfume of opening blossoms

and it seems very nice but to prQper-

lappreciate these works of art and na¬

ture you must see them And anyonewho has an opportunity to visit thiscountryand fails to embrace it loses

much of the beautiful of America

The climate in this valley is almost

perfect Although gets very warmduring the day the nights are cool andin the absence of mosquitoes are in¬

deed pleasant It is no very uncom-

Integrity DemandedIf the American Philippine Com-

mission under Judge Tafts direction is to bring about at an earlydate the removal of American ar-my officers performing the func-tions of civil service in the Phil-ippines and to substitute civilianappointees it is earnestly to behoped that the appointments willbe made only after the most rigidenforcement of the civilservicetests for fitness and capacity

While it is better as a matterof course that the American civilgovernment to established in thePhilippines shall result in theelimination of the army officerfrom civilian post it must yet beborne in mind that it demands ahighclass civilian to fill the offi

cers place The otters methodsare the methods of the militaryadministrator it is true but theyare also inflexibly honest straightf-orward and correct

The carpetbag scandals thathave disgraced the American pro-visional government in Cuba mustnot be repeated in the PhilippinesUnless it is the policy of the syn-dicate imperialists to allow our

colonialoffiCIals to share in thethe looting of the colonieshonest and capable men aloneshould be named to colonialoffice The United States Govern ¬

ment is on trial before the worldin this new field It is to becomea Government of Empire ratherthan a Republic it can save someshreds of its selfrespect by at leastinsisting upon an honest adminis ¬
