AVIATOR SWOOPS TO
DEATH ON ROCKS

Gan Sebastian, Spain, April Am
other French aviator has met death
while making fight in an aeroplane.
Hubert Leblon, who, prior to his TAX
ing up aeroplaning was a noted auto
mobilist, was killed while making an
exhibition fight here yesterday.
He was circling the royal palace of
Miramar at height of 14O feet when
his motor broke. He attempted to
glide back to the shed, but the ma
chine turned and swooped with terrific
force against the rocks. The aviator
was crushed.
Nine. Leblon witnessed the accident
and when the body was recovered from
the sea, she rushed shrieking towards
the ambulance to which it was being
carried. She threw herself upon the
lifeless form, kissing it repeatedly and
refusing to be led away. AS the. wealth
er was stormy, Leblon's flight was un-
expected and only a few people as.
sembled to see the start. After the
start, however, an enormous crowd
quickly gathered and followed the body
to the police hospital. There was ar
examination, but the doctors were only
able to confirm that death must have
been instantaneous.

ITALIANS CHEER ROOSEVELT.
Seen in Theater at Naples-Receives
Grand Ovation.

Naples, April A. Ex-President
Roosevelt was given a tremendous re-
ception at the Theater San Carlos,
where he attended a performance to-
night. The Americans in the boxes
started the cheering, which was taken
up by great body of students seated
in the third gallery. Colonel Roose-
welt rose and bowed his acknowledge
ments, which only served to increase
the tumultous applause.
During an intermission students to
the number of 200 marched to the rear
of Colonel Roosevelt's box, where they
were presented to the ex-president by
Professor Boggiano, of the University
of Naples, who, in graceful speech,
recalled the colonel's parting iniunc-
tion to President Taft, that the great
est problem for the United States was
the maintenance of the moral we'll
being and strength of the people.
Professor Boggiano said that this was
also the greatest problem for all coun-
tries.
Colonel Roosevelt, replying, appeal
ed to the students to aspire to the high
est ideals, but warned them that their
aspirations must be coupled with prac-
tical methods.
"Life is struggle, he said. "You
must not keep jim the clouds. Your
ideals must be such as can be real
ized."

MILLIONS TO FIGHT SHARKS.
Plan Is to Charge Only Legal Rates

on Furniture Security.
New York, April 4.-Mrs. Russell
Sage has inaugurated statewide plan
to thwart the loan sharks who fatten
upon the necessities of the poor She
has returned from her trip across the
continent to put into immediate effect
measures to save the unfortunate from
the exactions of the usurer.
The Sage millions will capitalize a
chain of model loan establishments
which will advance money to the poor
on their household goods at the legal
rate of interest.
The plan has been prepared by the
Sage Foundation, in cooperation with
Orion H. Cheney, state superintendent
of banks, and awaits only Mrs. Sage's
final approval.
Mr.. Cheney, who has been waging a
bitter war upon the loan sharks, said
today:
"When the Sage Foundation enters
this field not only will it accomplish a
most worthy mission. but at the same
time it can be made financially profit
able. The concerns which take unfair
advantage of the unfortunates who are
financially embarrassed will be either
driven out of the business or forced to
conduct their business on the same fair
basis as the Sage Foundation.
Mr.. Cheney said he believed the poor
who have to resort to the securing of
loans on their furniture should be cared
for in preference to the class that Sc
cures advances on salary.

Water for 1000 Acres.

Salem-At meeting of the. desert
land board recently State Engineer
Lewis and Attorney General Crawford
were authorized to enter into a con-
tract with the Almoral-Evans company
for the reclamation of 73, 900 acres of
arid lands in what is known as the
Powder River valley project. Negot-
iations have been pending for year
since the first announcement of the
project was made.
The total cost Of the project will be
SO, 100000. 1t is, in fact, two separ-
ate projects combined, and the segre-
cation to be reclaimed lies in Baker
county within easy access from the
main line of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company. About 10000
acres only is government land, the rest
being in private ownership. The work
will go ahead as soon as the necessary
withdrawals can be secured from the
Interior department.
The largest project includes a dam
in Thief valley ITO feet high and a
concrete and solid rock distributing
canal nine miles long, with a carrying
capacity of 500 cubic feet of water per
second. The other division will bring
water through Creston hill by means of
a cement lined tunnel two miles long
from Balm creek. All the smaller
feed canals will be cement lined.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
EXTEND PORTAGE ROAD.
State Commission Arranges to FL
nance Project at The Dalles.

State Commission Arranges to FL
nance Project at The Dalles.
The Dalles-Work will be commenc-
ed on the construction of the extension
of the state portage road from Big
Eddy to The Dalles as soon as the
contract can be signed up and the con-
tractors get their plant on the ground.
Judge w. j. Mariner, member of the
state portage commission, and Mr..
Newell, of the engineering firm of
Newell, Clossett & Walsh, who at the
suggestion of the commission has done
the engineering work on the extension,
had meeting Ewith the city council
and arrangements were made that in
sures the speedy completion of the
road.
1t was explained by Mr.. Newell and
Judge Mariner that the cost of the ex-
tension would be about $4,000, and
that only $50, 900 of the appropriation
made by the last legislature is avail
able. Therefore the commission would
be short about $40, This state of
affairs was anticipated by the city
council some time ago, and an ordin-
ance was passed authorizing the sale
of $40, 900 bonds, the money to be ex-
pended in building bulkheads at the
lower terminus of the portage road and
the inclines leading to it.
The extension of the portage to be
built commences at Big Eddy, some
three miles above The Dalles, and
reaches navigable water and a safe
harbor at the foot of Washington
street. At the terminus will be bulk
heads on which freights may be con-
veniently transferred from river
steamers to wharf boats or onto cars
that may be run in on the incline, OF
may be discharged from cars directly
into the steamers.
The construction of this extension
will complete the connecting link OF
river transportation with the lower
river and the upper Columbia and
Snake rivers. Since the completion OF
the state portage around the falls OF
Cello there has been connection be-
tween the upper and lower river, but il
has not been practicable to handle
heavy freight over this line, because
of the poor facilities for transferring
it from boats to the portage road al
the lower terminus.

Klamath Falls Depot Finished.

klamath Falls-The finishing touch
es have been put on the magnificent
depot erected by the Southern company
in this city. No date for the formal
opening of the building has been an
nounced and will not be until word is
received from San Francisco.
When it was announced that the rail-
road company had decided to erect in
this city depot that would cost in
the neighnorhood of $40, 900 few peo-
pie believed that that amount would be
invested in the structure.
But instead of a $4,000 structure
the company has given the city one
that will cost nearer $40, 900, and one
that surpasses in elegance anything of
it's kind in the west. The fact that
the Southern Pacific has seen fit to
give klamath Falls such fine building
is indicative of what that company ex-
poets this city to be. The depot is the
direct outcome of the petition that
was sent to Chief Engineer Hood, ask
ing that this city be favored with what
the company expected Klamath Falls
to be.
