FIGHTS LONG
WITH CURRENT
Enterprise Man Has Exciting Adven-
ture While Fortiing a Stream
Nearly Drowned.

Jonathan Haas had an experience
! in the Imnaha river last week that
he is not anxious to repeat. He has
not come back from the river yet,
but c. F. Graves was in a few days
and told of the incident says the En-
terprise Record -Chieftain.
1t seems that Mr.. Haas had set out
TO go up Horse creek. AT the mouth
Of the creek he had to cross the I'm
naha to get on the south side where
the creek flows in. He was riding
one mule and leading another that
carried pack.
The mule Mr.. Haas was riding was
tender footed. As it was urged into
the river 1t flinched on the rough
stones and refused to keep it's course
straight across. Thus 1t shortly got
into deep water where it had to
swim. The rider became alarmed and
slid off into the river and struck for
the shore. He got hold of overhang-
ing brush and was in fair way to get
out on dry land when the mules, fol-
lowing along behind him crowded in
between him and the bank.
This forced Mr. Haas to loosen his
hold on the brush and he was car
ried away on the swift current. The
river is high from the. melting snow
in ting mountains and it rushes down
the valley in torrent that no one
cares to breast
The current, however, carried Mr.
Haas near the bank a short distance
down stream and he again seized a
friendly bush that hung over the river
This time the mules did not interfere
and he climbed out safe and sound on
the bank. He caught his mules and
found the chief damage done was
bad scare and a thorough soaking

er, Falls When Contrivance
Fails Him in Air.

SEATTLE, Wash. July 21.-Fran-
els L. Thayer, aged AZ. a parachute
jumper known all over the world, was
drowned Saturday while making a
parachute descent from the aeroplane
as part of. the Potlatch air sport.

Johnny Bryant At height of 500
feet he dropped from the aeroplane
and his parachute spread above him
and the descent began. At a height
OF 500 feet he broke loose from the
parachute and fell into the water.
Thayer was seen to fall turning
over as he left the parachute. He
was fully 500 feet above the water
when he fell. The man seemed to
realize his danger for he rolled him
self into a compact ball as he ap-
preached the water striking on his
face and left shoulder.
Wife Witnesses Fatal Accident.
Mrs. Thayer, Mrs. Frank Bennett
wife of the manager of the aeroplane
exhibition and Miss Mckay. an avia-
trice, were in a launch which was to
pick Thayer up and they made all
speed toward the spot where he went
down but were unable to find any
trace of the body.
Johnny Bryant will be remembered
in Pendleton, as he and Miss Alys Nc
Kay flew here several weeks ago. He
also made a flight from this city to
Athena and back delivering copies of
the East Oregonian. Bryant is re-
garded as one of the best aviators in
the country.

February, 1910, in one of the mos
notable special elections ever held ir
our country. The issues upon which
it was fought was the Payne-Aldrict
Tariff Bill, the endorsement of the
Taft Administration, and Cannonism
The fiercely fought contest attracted
the attention of the entire United
States and was distinct victory fol
the Democratic Party. The election
of the Congressman from the Sixth
District was the first expression by
the people on these issues and gave
emphatic testimony against further
dominance by special interests over
the affairs of this nation. Other vic.
tories quickly followed. Speaker
Cannon was dethroned and driven
from Congress. Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, now fills with honor the place
of Speaker, so long held by Joseph
Cannon. A Republican Congress in
both branches gave way to a Demo-
cratic Congress, with a majority Of
Democrats in both the House and
Senate, and a Republican President,
with his numerous patronage, was
swept from power and Democratic
President in the person of Woodrow
Wilson became the Chief Executive
