WHAT DID LUCK DO FOR THEM7
Has Chance Advanced Most of Our
Successful Menf

When We consider the few who owe
fortune or position TO accident or
luck" In comparison with the masses
who have to fight every inch Of the
way to their own loaves, what are they,
in reality, but the exceptions TO the
rule that character, merit-not fate, or
luck" or any other bogy Of the imaS-
ination-control the destinies Of men!
The only luck that plays any great
part in a mans life is that which IN
heres in a stout heart, a willing hand,
and an alert brain.
What has chance ever done IN the
world? Has 1t invented telegraph or
telephone? Has II laid an ocean ca
bic? Has It built steamships, or es-
tablished universities, asylums, or hos
p,tals? Has It tunneled mountains,
built bridges, or brought miracles out
Of the soil?
What did luck" have to do with
making the career of Washington. Of
Lincoln, of Daniel Webster, OF Henry
CLAY. Of Grant, of Garfield. or Of Elihu
Root? Did ii help Edison or Marconi
with their inventions: Did it have any
thing to do with the making Of the
fortunes Of our great merchant princes?
DO such men as John Wanamaker,
Robert Ogden. or Marshall Field owe
their success 70 luck:
have never known man 70 amount
70 much until he cut out OF his vocab-

all the Il can't words and the Il

in the English language more misused
and abused than luck" More people
have excused themselves for poor work
and mean. stingy, poverty-stricken ca
reers by saying luck was against

One Variety Makes Home Uuder-

The burrowing bees are commonly
ranked with solitary insects. Certainly
they are not social" living in organ
lied communities like honey bees. But
one might venture to call, them
'neighborly insects" for they love to
make their cavernous hermitages In
well-eQuipped neighborhoods.
Their burrow sites are preferably
upon hard, dry spots with bit ct
slope maybe. Therein the mother Will
sink a shaft eight or ten inches deep
and about three-eighths Of an inch
wide. On either side she will dig out
small ovate cells, five or six In all,
which she duly provisions and supplies

The burrows are about the bigness or

foot or so with sundry enlargements

In the young are bred. In the height
of the season these bee neighborhoods
are the scene of busy life. The air
resounds with the hum Of wings sas the
insects fly to and fro on parental duties

pollen and honey Of the flowers. But
Just inside each burrow gate an inter-
esting phase Of insect life goes on.
Beyond the gateway, which Is about
the length of the bee, there rises ves-

MORE FOREST RESERVE.
Proc Iamation Signed BY President fo'
New Area of 7,4O6, ,556 Acres.

Washington, Nov. 9. - President
Roosevelt, before leaving for Panama,
signed a proclamation creating four
new forest reserves in Idaho, and en-
larging two others, adding to the re-
serve area of the state 7,406,556 acres.
He created every reserve recommends
ed by the Forest Service, including
the ShOshOne reserve in Northern
Idaho, which was so vigorously fought
by Senator Hepburn. Creation of
these reserves exempifies the admin
istration's disregard of Heyburn's pro
test and leaves Hepburn nothing more
to fight for.
Great Occur d'AIene Reserve.
The Shoshone reserve is created in
conjunction with the Coeur d'Alene
reserve. adjoining it on the north, and
two others to be known as the Occur
d'Alene re serve. Their aggregate area
is 2,25O.00O acres. They lie in Sho-
shone and Kootenai counties, extend
ing northward to the middle Of Lake
Bend dOreille.
In creating these various reserves
it is stated that all their natural re-
sources will be available for use and
development but they will be admin

braces 1.346,460 acres in Lemhi and

Rocky Mountains.
Great Tract on Salmon River.
The Salmon River reserve in Lemhl
and Custer counties embraces 2,20l.-
12O acres. 1t comprises solid block
of mountainous country lying between
the Salmon River and the middle fork
/ of the Salmon river.
In Cassia and Oneida counties 291,-
1876 acres have been set apart as the
Raft River reserve. embracing many

Numerous additions are made to the
Sawtooth reserve, their aggregate area
being 1,371,760 acres. These addi

BRIDGES GONE:

Rainfall Causes DiSd. trOuS Floods
in Willamette Valley.
M ain Line of Southern Pacific Block.
AIDED by Swollen Streams and
Weakened Bridges - Santiam and
CIackamas Rivers Causing Much
Damage.

Portland, Nov S-FloOds in the
Santiam and Mollala rivers, caused by
the recent rains, have washed away
two Southern Pacific bridges and rem
dered another unsafe. The main line
of the Southern Pacific is effectually
blockaded, perhaps for weeks. The
bridge across the Santiam at Jeffer-
son was carried away last night, block
ing the main line. The South Santiam
bridge on the WoodburnNatron
branch was washed out yesterday. The
Mollala bridge is SO shaky that it will
not permit the passage Of trains. The
bridge of the O. w. P. across the
Clackamas near Oregon City is unsafe.
Other damage has been caused and at
tinued to rise
Passenger trains to California and
the Upper Willamette valley are being
routed over the West Side division of
the Southern Pacific to Corvallis and
over the Corvallis & Eastern tracks
to Albany, beyond which place the
Southern Pacific's line is reported
clear. Freight is refused at Portland
for points north of Albany on the East
Side. Local passengers and freig'
the wrecked bridges.
The Overland leaving Portland yes
terday morning had a narrow escape
from a disastrous wreck. scant
half hour after the train crossed the
bridge 100 feet of the falsework sup
porting the structure was swept away.
The river continued to rise rapidly and
late last night the remaining false
work went out, allowing the 2O5-foot
steel span Of the new bridge in process
of erection to fall into the raging river.
The Santiam bridge has been under
going reconstruction for some time
and falsework had been built to sup
port the weight of trains while the old
wooden structure was being replaced
with a new steel bridge. Had the new
bridge been in or the old one left In
tact no damage would probably have
occurred The Overland train, due in
Portland last night, was diverted from
the main line at Albany and this ar
rangement will be continued until
damage is repaired. Passenger trains
will be operated locally between Port
land and Jefferson.
A wrecking crew was put to work at
the bridge yesterday and an attempt
made to save it from going out, hut
the Santiam, swollen by the heavy
rains of the past few days, continued
to rise rapidly. At a late hour last
night it was reported as rising six
inches an hour.
The flood also disabled the Southern
Pacific bridge on the Woodburn- Nat
ron line, and caused heavy damage to
sawmill men by the breaking OF
booms. Quantities of cord wood be
longing to the Lebanon paper mills
were also washed away. Reports from
.Je fferson indicate that much more
damage will be done before the flood
subsidies.

 Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio, de- feated for renomination after twenty years service, not consecutive.
 James w. WadSworth of New York, defeated for reelection after twenty years service, not consecutive, because of his opposition to the bill regulating the packinghouses.
 Rufus E. Lester of Georgia, died last summer in his ninth consecutive term.
 John F. Lacey of Iowa, defeated for reelection after eight terms, not con- secutive.
 Binger Hermann of Oregon, retired after eight terms, not consecutive, be- cause of alleged participation in the Oregon land frauds, and now under in- dictment.
 Joseph w. Babcock of Wisconsin, defeated for reelection by the influence of Senator LaFollette after seven terms consecutive service.
