But the best message l can take
back to my people from the presi-

to see the islands absolutely indie

devote much space to picturing with
French art the personality of Wilbur
Wright
This man." says Franz Reichel in
the Figaro, lis strange and cold, but of
a colGness that is smiling and sym
pathetic He is tall thin, severe-a
man that IS tempered like steel The
countenance is remarkable, curious
the head that of bird. long and bony,
and with a long nose. The face is
smooth shaven and tanned by the wind
and the country sun. The eye is a
superb bluegray. with tints of gold
honorable. gentle. resolute and intelli-
gent Those golden glints bespeak an
ardent flame, for Wilbur Wright is a
fanatic"
Wright's method of getting away on
a start, while not appealing to the
experts as the most practical solution
of the problem of launching his ma
chine, pleases the French emotional
sense.
He is launched into space" writes
one critic, and there is nothing can
stop him. He either flies or falls. The
danger of this moment gives one a

at the sight of a cyclist jumping an

the camp, after a terrible FIVE days
ride across the burning desert, reached
the mining town alive by the
narrowest of margins.
Braly was taking the company's
automobile through from Los Angeles
and picked up Miss Davis on the way.
They went into the Death valley
country by way of Mojave, and the
trip from the latter place to their des-
tination should not have occupied more
than eight hours.
The terrific reughness of the road
threw the machine out of gear fre-
ouently. The Garden station was
reached after 40 hours of alternate re-
pairing and travelling The occupants
were then exhausted. Ten miles north
of Ballarat the machine broke down
and the man and woman decided &c
walk to the stage station at Wild Rose
They were so affected by the heat
that they were able to crawl but a few
steps at a time. At o'clock in the
evening Braly collapsed and was un-
able to arise. Miss Davis staggered
onward and in eight hours she had GOV
cred the four miles to the stage sta
ton, arriving at O'Clock in the morn
ing.
A relief party was sent out to Braly
who was found in an unconscious con-
dition. The physician said he could

IROQUOIS BRAVES
GUST W.R. HEARST
Editor Candidate Asked to Re-
sign From Old Democratic
Political Organization

William r. Hearst has been uncere-
club The stalwarts who compose the
organization have decided that the
editor candidate has wandered too far
afield for further usefulness Time was
when Hearst worked side by side with
the other members of the democratic
organization, but ambition for career
his first love for real affinity in the
shape of the independence league
There is no fury like a woman scorned,
so when Hearst came TO the coast a few
days ago and renewed his attentions
to the old party he was unfeelingly or
dered off the premises.
Hearst was member of the Iroquois
club In the old days. but during the
busy era of financing, floating and in
cooperating his independence league
he allowed the local democratic insti-
tuition to slip from his mind. 1t was
only the other day that he received the
regular notice Of arrears in monthly
dues, and he straightway paid up to
date and sent, in addition, a check in
the sum of s12 for two years in ad-
vance.
At the next. meeting of the club the
secretary called attention 10 the COM
munication from Hearst. A chilly
silence followed. Then motion was
made that the si2 be returned to the
sender, and that Hearst be asked to
resign from the club. The motion was
put and carried without a dissenting
vote.
Accordingly. the s12 check was re-
turned and with Il a letter stating thai
Hearst's resignation was desired Nc
reply has yet been received, but in case
Hearst neglects to withdraw, method
less diplomatic but just as effective
will be invoked to expunge his name
from the rolls.
