Lorimer Willing to Pay.

Washington, March Am item to
reimburse Lorimer for expenses in
defending his title to his seat was
struck out of the general deficiency
bill by the senate tonight, on motion
of Lorimer himself. Even after Lori

BRYAN TO RUN NO MORE.
Democratic Leader Says T. r. and
Taft Carry Out His Policy.

Chicago - Replying to a humorous
sally of the postmaster at Press club
luncheon here, William Jennings
Bryan reiterated the statement that he
would not be a candidate for office
again. DIR, G. Frank Lydsten, the
POSTMASTER, had remarked facetiously
that the running for Office Of Colonel
Bryan had become an institution
rather than an instance.
Mr.. Bryan, in his reply, declared
that Roosevelt and Taft had borrowed
Democratic doctrine, "so," said he,
why should seek the hardships of
the White House when can get other
men willing to carry out my policies?
Do not think, however, that because l
am not candidate for Office, | am out
of politics.

uMATlLLA PLANS HIGHWAY.
Fine I5-MiIe Boulevard to Run From
Pendleton to Athena.

Pendleton - Umatilla county is to
have at least one permanent highway,
Notwithstanding the failure of the
good roads measures before the recent
legislature. The county court, backed
up by the Umatilla County Good
Roads association, many prominent
farmers and heavy taxpayers, will un-
dertake the construction of a modern
highway from Pendleton to Athena,
by way of Adams, distance of Is
miles.
Plans were under way to construct
this road in accordance with the pro-
visions of the Tuttle road law, but
since the legislature repealed this
measure the only thing left to do is to
build it, and this will be done.

FLIES FAR OVER SEA.
Daring Air Man EcIipses All Across
Water Flights.

Nice. France. -- Lieutenant Bague
accomplished a sensational and daring
feat Sunday by flying over the Medi-
terranean from Antilles to the little
island of Gorgona off the Italian coast
He covered more than 200 kilometers
PAS miles establishing new
record for oversee flight. This he
did without the assistance of tugs,
torpedo boats or any other craft to
guide him or to add to his confidence.
Bague started at 7:30 o'clock in the
morning in Bleriot monoplane, with
the intention of landing on Corsica
and proceeding thence by way of Sar-
dinia and Sicily to Tunis.
The aviator left the ground, rising
at once a considerable height. He
shaped his course southwark and soon
vanished. Aided by a strong wind,
his progress was rapid and dispatch
was finally received here that he had
arrived at Gorgona. This island lies
between Corsica and Leghorn.
Bague landed there at o'clock in
the afternoon, the decent being made
with awkwardness and with danger on
account of the trees and rocks. The
monoplane struck heavily and was
badly damaged, but Bague was not
hurt. He had intended landing at
Ajacio, on the west coast of Corsica,
but, losing his way, he shaped his
course too far north, going further
than he intended. Bague's oversee
flight breaks the previous held by j.
A. D. McCurdy, who, on January 80
last, flew from Key West to within
ten miles of the Cuban shore, dis
tance of 81 miles.

to Augusta to spend a week or 10 days
in taking life easy, playing golf and
forgetting for a short time all about

Walked Home.

Any pigeon fancier who wants to en-
ter a bird in a slow race need but com.
municate with Charley Otto. He has
one he thinks is positively the slowest
feathered hiped In the world. Otto has
been a pigeonist for good many
years and during the st. Louis exposi-
ton of 1904 he took part in the pigeon
fy. His birds were all marked by the
usual identification bands on their
legs, of course. All got in but one,
and in the seven years that have pass.
ed Mr. Otto had completely forgotten
about that bird.
"But the other day when went into
the COTE" says Otto, 81 saw an old
pigeon there that looked familiar He
seemed to be perfectly at home, so by
and byNI picked him up. Sure enough,
it was Thunderbolt H., the pigeon that
didn't report after the st. Louis race"
"And was he in good health?'
"Oh, yes" said Mr.. Otto. Perfectly
good health. A little thin, perhaps
trained down pretty fine by the exer-
ton Of the race-but otherwise all
right only his toe nails were worked
down to the quick by the long walk

TWO KILLED IN FIGHT.
Sensational Battle With Desperate In

Whitesburg, Ky, Nov. ls.~One of the
most sensational battles IN Leieher eoun.

yesterday afternoon, when Special Pat.

hold all the Offices. The truth Of this
statement is plainly apparent, and it
is further true that no state in the
Union has so many Office holdTs IN
proportion to population as has YER
mont. Again is it true that the YER
mont Office holder is the best paid ar
tiele Of the kind in the country, pop
ulation considered. All this is because
the political life Of the state is control
led by a few, and such a condition
is dangerous one as is shown by the
states meagre measure of growth and
development in the past score years.
While we would not claim that YER
mont is short Of Office holders it is
pertinent to ask if it has any super
fluOus office holder. It it has, name
them. 1t must be remembered that the
tendency of the past decade has been to
put more work upon the state The
time was when the town had full con-
troll Of the educational work and the
highways of the state but now the
state bears a large proportion Of the
expenses of these lines of work. There
was time also when there was no
supervision of corporations by the state
but now the state has greater control.
All of these things have increased the
number Of state officials and these Off
Gals are doing excellent work for the
state.
We dare not deny the statement that
the Vermont Office holder is the best
paid according to population Of any
state. But we do say that no man hold
ing an official position in Vermont, who
is qualified to hold that position is draw
ing as much compensation as he would
be able to receive for the same amount
of labor in some private occupation.
The matter of Offices and compensation
may need attention and revision but
the man who makes strong statements
as those quoted above Is assuming
weak position Let us be fair and can
did in the charges we make against con
ditions in Vermont and what we say will
have more weight The political con-
troll of the state should rest with the
people just as far as they will assume
the burden but the people should be
told the truth about present conditions.

Misrepresents Vermont.

Tn the course Of an excellent editorial
endorsing an organization OF all the
friends of Vermont, including residents
and non-residents and people OF both
sexes into New Vermont association,
The Landmark of White River juno
ton makes a statement that grossly
misrepresents conditions in Vermont.
This is the statement:-- while the
population has remained almost station
airy, and farm values have enormously
decreased" etc, There has been no enor-
nous decrease in farm values. On the
contrary there has been a material in
crease. According to the United States
census the value Of land and buildings
of Vermont farms has increased from
SS307 500 in 1000 to Sll2,5ss,275 in
1910. The average value Of all farm
property per farm in 1900 was $3,2T0i
in 1910, $4,445.
A statement to the effect that farm
valves have decreased enormously is a
most misehjeyous one TO make at the
inauguration of movement for "a New
Vermont association" because it is I'M
true and discouraging to the real friends
of the. state. There is reason for
the increase Of the value Of farm lands
in Vermont, Government statistics show
that it is more productive per acre in
wheat, corn. oats and hay than the 9th
or states producing the greatest amount
of these staple crops. These are the
statements that should be impressed
upon any friends of the state who may
wish to form progressive organization
in Vermont because it shows they have
good material with which to develop
agricultural and business life in the
state. Vermont has the land and other
resources to warrant an organized effort
for its development. All 1t needs is
strong and persistent organization to
work for more productive and there
fore a more prosperous and progressive
Vermont.

In speaking of the politicians in this
same editorial the contemporary says
in effect that their one concern is to
keep Vermont stagnant that they may

What He Deemed Disaster Brought
Him a Fortune.
The miners Of New Mexico tell a
queer story which illustrates their be-
lief in luck A miner was trudging
along one hot day through a gulch,
with the sun shining on his back, when
he smelled smoke and presently, to his
dismay, discovered that his knapsack
was on fire.
Like all miners. he carried a large
lens for the purpose of examining spec
linens, and for want of room he had
hung the glass on the outside and the
rays of the sun had been concentrated
on his pack.
AS among the contents were fifteen
pounds of powder he lost no time in
dropping the dangerous burden and
getting as far away as possible. The
haversack fell between two big rocks,
while the miner from safe distance
mournfully watched the smoke rising
from his sole worldly possessions.
Presently there came deafening ex-
plosion, and the miner went TO gather
up what he could find. Then his eyes
almost started out of his head at see
ing the quartz that had been blown mp
fairly glistening with gold. His pow
der had literally blown open a gold
mine, and he was made d rich man in
an instant. He named the mine the

1.-THE MEETING AT K. C. HALL.

The meeting Tuesday night at the
K. G. hall, called by P. A. Miller, sec
retary of the Citizens Association, to
consider the question of erecting arch
es for electric lighting on the business
portions of Eighth and Washington
streets, was fairly well attended. Ed
win Schuette of the Electric Light Co.
was present and stated that the cost of
an arch would be cents per front foot
a month for the first year and there
after 3 cents foot, or dollar month
for the first year and Is cents a month
thereafter on frontage of 20 feet.
Most OF those present seemed to be in
favor of the proposition. The Electric
Light Co. will put up few arches
within couple of weeks to show the
effect of such additional lighting. A
committee consisting of =. A. Miller,
Arthur George and d. c. Chapman was
appointed TO take the matter up with
business men on the down town por-
tions of Eighth and Washington streets
and see whatca be done in tn : matter
and report at the next meeting.
