AIRSHIP A SUCCESS.

In an airship GO feet long and 16
feet in diameter and designed and
wholly built by himself, Lincoln
Beachley startled all of Washington
on June IA, by sailing his machine
wherever he pleased. He circIed the
Washington monument, sailed around
the dome of the capitol, landed when
and where he pleased. and wound up
by gracefully alighting in the White
House grounds. Beachley has been
assistant to Roy Knabenshue, who
sailed at the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition.
Beachley modelled his machine after
Knabenshue's. and started his flight
from 4 point i'm Virginia, five miles
down the Potomac. His approach to-
wards the capital was heralded by the
pages and other employees, and sena-
tors ard representatives watched his
course with evident pleasure. Beach
ley demonstrated to the satisfaction
of thousands that he had solved the
rudiments of aerial navigation. He
employed a gas bag with n capacity
of 10000 cubic feet, and made of $50
yards of Japanese silk.

FIRE INSURANCE FRAUDS.

The san Francisco disaster has been
a decisive test of American fire in
surance companies. BY the standard
of their conduct in this case, will the
companies be judged hereafter. 1t is
an epoch in the commercial world, as
far as the status of fire insurance is
concerned.
Only about 40 companies out of 200
carrying risks in San Francisco will
pay dollar for dollar" on their poll
cies. The remainder will shirk the
responsibility and will seek to crawl
out Of their obligations through every
possible technically.
As a result of the dishonesty OF
these fake concerns, California is now
agitating the question of making a
uniform fire insurance policy for the
state, for use by all firms doing bust.
ness in the state. The first require.
ment of the new insurance law will
be unquestioned reliability. No com.
pany which by any legal or technica
excuse could avoid paying the full ex
tent Of every loss, will be permitted
to enter the state.
This state law regulating insuranc,
companies is perhaps a first step to
ward state-owned insurance. If tn,
state must pass rigid laws and appoin
examiners, special inspectors, expert
and other officials to watch and reg
ulate the private companies, why no
put the same officers in charge of
state insurance company which tn
people, will know would be absolutel
safe and reliable?

"The Sketch is out, says the Ore

publication, local in character. of
which Arthur n. Green, formerly dra-
matte critic and special writer on the
staff Of the Oregonian, is editor, and
Murray Wade, a local artist, Is bust
ness manager.
These youpg men, in an effort to
give Portland a weekly worthy OF the
city. have started by doing more than
we'll The initial number is highly
creditable. There Is n full-page car
toon of Jonathan Bourne, jr.. from the
pen of Murray Wade, and the other
illustrations are sketches and hall
tones of good quality.
The new publication is devoted to
politics, society, art, the drama, music
and town gossip. Automobiles and
sports come in for their share. Per-
haps the most clever bit of the first
number is a column of bits under the
caption People You Know" which
gives news written in country weekly
style. There Is real humor in 1t, and
1t Is worth reading There are also
impartial reviews of current books
and a chauffeur series and puzzle pic
ture series that are commendable.
"The Sketch" is born with n good
bit of advertising patronage, and II II
keeps up the standard of the first
number, should become popular and
prosperous.

DEATH CHANCES IN BATTLE.

In Homeric days a battle was a
conflict of armed mobs. The nearer
you got to your assailant the better
was your chance of killing or being
killed. The bigger the man the better
were his chances in the strife. In
these piping times of mechanical war
fare, the situation is reversed. Bat
ties are fought at ranges of a mile
or so. The smaller the man the less
are his chances OF being hit. An in
genious mathematician has figured out
that perhaps the casualties on the
japanese side must have been con-
siderably loss than those of the Rus
slams in the recent war If it be assum-
cd that the craftsmanship of each
was equally good. The advantage OF
the japanese was inversly as the cubes
of their height and breadth. The
average targets offered by each to
the enemy are of the cubes of 1886
and 1912. or as 106 to 11S. an advan-

HIGH-PRICED LAND.

An irrigated farm of $50 acres, To-
Gated in the Yakima valley, recently
sold for $4,000. A 12-acre irrigated
tract at wenatchee sold the same
week for $500 per acre, or a total of
$4,000 for the small tract.
There is no reason why the same
values should not be placed upon ir-
rigated land in Umatilla county, when
the county reaches the proper stage Of
settlement and development.
The climate Of Umatilla county is
better adapted to fruit and berry cul-
ture than either North Yakima or
Wenatchee. Echo, Hudson Bay, Una
tilla, Milton, Hermiston and Butter
creek have all the Datural conditions
necessary to develop the most re-
markable irrigated districts on the
continent. There is every reason to

The other night a street evangelist
was preaching what might be called
an "exclted" sermon on a corner a

arms and shook his head. Suddenly
he quieted down and asked

OREGON AT JAMESTOWN.

Within a radius of 200 miles around
the historic town of jamestown, Va,
are about SO,OOO,OOO people.
1t is safe to estimate that two
thirds of this number will visit the
jamestown exposition, in addition to
millions from farther away.
Thousands of the people in that
20O-mile radius are hungering for Il
new home, a wider scope, a new breath
of life. They have heard of the glory
of Oregon and the Pacific coast.
They would come here to join in the
upbuilding of this empire upon the
slightest inducement.
1t seems that the opportunity of the
century to advertise the state is now
presented TO the people of Oregon. A
good exhibit at the jamestown expo
sition, a state building filled with the
products of the state, would be a
revelation to the people of the east.
The oregon Legislature should be
generous with the jamestown COM
mission. Oregon should not be halt
represented there. She should either
send a first-class exhibit, or stay
away. The fullness of the states re-
sources should be shown. Sufficient
funds for a. brilliant display should be
provided.
Fasteners have caught a glimpse
| of Oregon through the Lewis ant
Clark fair. They will expect some
| thing from the state at jamestown
They will expect to hear and Sc,
something of the actual wonders o
which they have read.
Oregon should not disappoint them
There should be a beautiful stat
building, filled to overflowing with tn
varied products of the state.
1t will cost something, it is true
But did you ever get good result
from advertising without a generou
expenditure? There will be $4,000
left over from the Lewis and ClarI
fair to turn into the jamestown funt
Let the legislature add to this suffi
ciently to make a first-class exhibit a
the historic old city.
Oregon cannot afford to be see
there half dressed.

GOVERNMENT CEMENT.

The irrigation policy is driving the
United States government into the ce-
Matchmaking business. 1t has been
making cement in quiet way, and
seems likely 10 extend operations in
that line.
To construct dams for the "a irriga-
ton projects under way in the west,
the government either was compelled
to ship cement from Europe or from
the far eastern seaboard, or manufac-
ture its own product.
In the Salt river project in Arizona
test has been made which is very
satisfactory to the government. Hun
dreds of barrels of cement are being
turned out daily, at cost far below
the market price. Many of the gov
ernment works are remote from rail-
roads, and cement beds are adjacent
to them. So thoroughly aroused are
the people of the 13 states and terri
tories to the necessity for completing
these projects that they will insist that
the government proceed with the
manufacture of enough cement to
complete these projects.
Private enterprise will thus also be
induced to later take up the manu-
facture of the commodity and materi-
ally reduce the cost to other consum-
ers.

HOME DEFENDERS.

The capitalists are warning their
victims, who are living much like the
animals of the stalls, that socialism
will break up the family. This is to
cover up their own actions. which
have broken up millions of homes by
forcing daughters into brothels. fore
ing others to go out into domestic SER
vice. and sons to leave home and
tramp oyer the land in search of a
master who would permit them
enough to eat for their services. oh
tho capitalists are such friends OF
home 1t would make a donkey smile

| for the moral weil-being of theii
slaves. Pass the smelling salts.-Ap.

believe that when family is placed
upon every 4O-acre tract in the irrl-
gated section of this county, that
prices will range from $1,000 to $4,000
per acre for the sandy loan of this

There are ut least $4,000 acres OF

LEADER OF THE PEOPLE.


The Arena Magazine is preparing
to publish an original poem on eco
monte subjects from living American
authors, each month for year or so,
and the first of the series. "The Lead
er of the People" by Edwin Mark
ham, appears in the June number.
The poem is as follows:
Swung in the purpose Of the upper
sphere,
We sweep on to the century anear
But something makes the heart of
man forehode:
There is new Sphinx watching by
the road
Its name Is Labor, and the world must
hear
Must hear and answer to its dread
Question-yea,
OR perish as the tribes of yesterday
Thunder and Earthquake crouch be-
yond the gate:
But fear not: man Is greater than his
fate.
For one will come with Answer-with
word
Wherein the whole worlds gladness
shall be heard:
One who will feel the grief in every
breast,
The heart-cry of humanity for rest.
So we wait the Leader to appear.
Lover Of men, thinker and doer and
seer.
The hero who will fill the labor throne
And build the Comrade Kingdom.
stone by stone:
That Kingdom that is greater than
the Dream
Breaking through ancient vision.
CLEAN by gleam-
Something that Song alone can
family feel
And only Songs wild rapture can re-
veal.
Thrilled by the Cosmic Oneness he
will rise.
Youth in his heart and morning in
his eyes:
While glory fallen from the far-off
goal
Will send mysterious splendor on his
soul.
Him shall all toilers know to be their
friend;
Him she'll they follow faithful to the
end.
Though every leaf were a tongue to
cry. Thou must"
He will not say the unjust thing is
just.
Not all the fiends that curse in the
eclipse
Shall shake his heart or hush his lyric
lips.
His cry for Justice. it will stir the
stones
From Helrs black granite to the
seraph thrones!
Earth listens for the coming of his
feet;
The hushed Fates lean expectant from
their seat.
He will be calm and reverent and
strong.
And, carrying in his words the fire
of song
VIII send a hope upon those weary
men,
hope to make the heart grow young
again.
y cry TO comrades scattered and afar:
BE consolidated, star by circling star:
Give to all mortals justice and forgive:
License must die that liberty may live.
Let Love shine through the fabric of
the State
Love deathless. Love whose other
name is Fate.
Fear not: we cannot fail
The Vision will prevail.
Truth is The Oath of God, and. sure
and fast,
Through Death and He'll hords onward
to the last.

CANADA Will KEEP 1T.

A very rich discovery of a deposit
OF cobalt was made in Canada the
other day. Just when the mining
sharks were about to gobbe it up,
the Canadian government decided to
keep the whole mining district-about
100 square miles-as public property
forever, and to mine the cobalt for the
benefit of the nation at large.
Canada has taken a lesson from

a sloping beach. Here the boat was dragged up
and the seamen were ordered to wait while Simon
and Awkward started on their errand.
