John B. Moisant and Arch Hoxsey,
aviators extraordinary. were killed
Saturday. Both fell out Of the treach-
erous air with their machines-neith-
er from q vast height-and Moisant's
remaining minutes Of life were SO few
a. to count for naught. Hoxsey was
killed instantly. Moisant met his
death ut. 1855 q. m, attempting to
alight In . field few miles from
New Orleans, La. Hoxsey who went
Into the air early in the afternoon at
Los Angeles, lay at 2:12 p. M,
crushed, lifeless mass in view Of the
thousands who were watching the
aviation tournament. Thus the last
Gay of 1910, in bringing the total num-
her Of deaths of those who have
sought to emulate the birds to thirty
five, capped the list with two Of the
most illustrious Of those airmen who
have been writing the history of avia-
ton in the sky of two continents.

INTERDEPENDENT.

Philadelphia Inquirer: The inter
national commerce Of the world for
the current year is estimated at $780,
OOO,O00,O00, about equally divided be-
tween imports and exports. These are
the total figures for all Of the civilized
nations as reported. OF course, they
are not wholly accurate, but must be
substantially so. And it is noteworthy
that these figures apply for the most
part to about one-third of the popula-
ton of the world. Asia does not con-
tribute anything like what one would
imagine from its population of a good
deal more than half Of the world. Af-
rica cuts very small figure. Europe
and North America do most. but
South America Is making enormous
strides.
This shows how the people of the
world are becoming more and more
Independent. In civilized nations
practically every one depends upon
the rest Of the world for some of his
necessities of life, as we'll as some lux
uries. In this country we could get
along If foreign trade were suspended
but it would involve much change
and no little financial disaster.

In a country with nearly 100000
600 inhabitants, the question of pub
lie alimentation is the first and most
important, especially in view of the
rapidly growing prices of all kinds of
animal food.

the masses considted, besides varying
quantities of animal substances, prin-
cipally of cereals. cruciferae (cab-
bages, etc., cucurbitaceae (melons,
ecs1, and a few other kinds of plant
food. The potato did not enter into
1t to any appreciable extent. Now
this is rapidly changing and the po-
tato is more grown and more valued.
This years potato crop proves to
have been in many parts so abund-
ant that the markets are filled, and
prices for good table or Industrial po-
tatoes are as low as to s 1-2 cents
per measure Ga little over 36 pounds)
and dealers have purchased in viii
lagos potatoes as low as 1-2 to 4
cents per measure. Naturally this
could leave little or no profit for the
growers, and in many places they have
tried to solve the difficulty by extract
ing the starch and selling 1t to trea-

A TARDY COMPLAINT.

The Portland Oregonian, true to
its usual parsimonious proclivities. is
now objecting to the appropriations
made by the legislature for the vari-
Gus district fairs of the state. 1t
overlooks entirely the benefits deriv-
ed from the holding of these fairs. It
forgets that the fairs stimulate the
farmers, horticulturists and stock
growers to do better and better work
in their respective lines and that
these lines of industry are benefited
and the wealth of the state increased
through the holding of the district
fairs. The Oregonian can see only
that the state is spending some money
and spending it outside of Portland
The Oregonian had no objection when
the legislature voted a cool $500, 900
for the benefit of the Lewis & Clarke
fair. That paper shows poor grace
ii nothing else in objecting to the
small sums the state now pays out
in premiums at the district fairs.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.

In taking preliminary action tow
ards securing a new high school
building the school board has made
a timely move and it is a move that
will be approved by the rank and
file of the people of this city.
That the present high school is an
tiquated and unsatisfactory has long
been known. 1t is doubtful if there
Is another town in oregon of the size
and Importance of Pendleton that
does not surpass this city in high
school accommodations. In view Of
this city's wealth and of the fact that
Pendleton people pride themselves
that this is a school town the old
structure on the hill is a disgrace.
The present building would have
been supplanted before now had it
not been that local conditions during
the past few years have been unfavor-
able for voting improvements Now
that Pendleton is entering upon an
era of advancement and improvement
the time is at hand for securing a new
high school. The sooner a fine high
school building is erected the better
II will be. There will be some who
will object to the expenditure and will
argue that the present building will
do for a few years longer. The same
arguments were used against street
paving and against almost every 9TH
er improvement ever made in this
city. But it is poor business policy
to delay improvements when those
improvements are actually needed
and may be had. Civic improvements
such as good school buildings and
good streets bring on other better
ments and produce a spirit of pro-
gress-one Of the very best assets of
a growing community.
Now that tle school board has
started out to secure a new high
school building this year they should
be encouraged in the move. Civic
improvements are now in order In
ing by voting a new high school
building-a building that we may
truthfully proclaim as the best struc-
ture Of its sort in eastern Oregon.
