THE PEER OF THEM ALL.

Another man has given his life 10
the cause of aviation. and this time
the peer of all air navigators Is the
victim. Lincoln Beachy, the plon-
eer aeronaut of this country, began
making balloon ascensions when he
was II years old. He really gre"
ND with the flying game, and later
when the dirigibles or airships sup
nlanted the balloon, Beachey was the
headliner of all the big attractions.
MANY people will recall his flights at
the Lewis and Clarke exposition in
Portland in 1905. Still later, Mr..
Beachey began doing stunts with the
air crafts of to-day, using the bl-
plane mostly. About two years ago
he made the announcement that he
had made his last fight, but later,
when the reports were being clrculat-
ed of the wonderful success which
Pegoud, the Frenchman was achiey-
ing in various stunts Beechey
vowed that the foreigners could not
beat the Americans in flying and he
once more entered the game This
time he startled the world with his
wonderful mastery of his. air craft.
He "looped the loop consistently,
and also the perpendicular drop
the very thing which brought about
his death. Lincoln Beachey fell to
his death in San Francisco last Sun
day, before a crowd of thousands Of
spectators. The cause of the fall Is
attributed to the weakness OF the
monoplane, a new one which Beach
ey was using for the first time. In
the perpendicular drop, which he
had done successfully many times
before, the wings of the machine
crumpled and the brave aviator was
plunged with his machine turning
end over end, into the waters of San
Francisco Bay. 1t is estimated that
he fell three thousand feet.

PAYROLL OF $4,000 NAMES.

Nearly $20,000,000 was expended
by the Oregon Washington Railroad
& Navigation Co. in the states OF
Washington, Oregon and Idaho dur
ing the year 1914, according to fig
ures just compiled. The exact amount
is $19,735,703.73. The statement
further shows that more than 1000
names appear on the annual payroll
and that between $4,000 and $4,000
persons are dependent on the opera
tion of the Union Pacific system in
the Northwest. For the year end
ing June 30, 1914, the O-W. R. & N.
paid $1,390,69865 in taxes. In the
three states $5,042,425.71 was spent
in the construction OF new lines.

WORLD's GREATEST CATACLySM

In the Franco-Prussian war, 156,-
600 Frenchmen we're killed, $4,000
were wounded and disabled. The
Germans lost $4,000 dead and 101,-
600 wounded and disabled
In the Russo-Japanese war the
losses of the Japanese were about
10000 killed and wounded; Of the
Russians about 100000.
|. In our Civil war, which lasted four
years. the Union forces lost, killed
and wounded, 959,62S, and in pris
ons and hospitals enough more to
swell the total to 100000 men. The
Confederacy lost nearly as many
more.
In the present war in Europe, TAX
ing the accounts from all the coun-
tries engaged in the seven months
since the war began, the losses are
counted by millions. Last December
the estimated loss of the Prussian
army was 753,202 officers and men,
beside half the Bayarian army has
been put out Of action, which with
the losses in Saxony and WVrtem
berg armies swelled the list ofEer-
man losses in killed, wounded and
missing to 100000 men.
At the same time the estimate in
Vienna was that the Austro- -Hungar-
ian army had lost about 100000
men in killed, wounded and MISSING
Two months ago it was estimated
that the French had lost fully one
half of their soldiers. A month ago
the estimated loss Of the Russians
was 100000 men, and Russian pa
oer in December gave the loss in
Russian commissioned officers at 49,
600. Half Of the Belgian army has
been destroyed, more than half the
army of Servia, while it is known
that at least three Turkish army
corps have been wiped out. A month
ago Premier Asquith said, in the
House of Commons, that the British
losses to date amounted to 104, 900
men.
In the past two months there has
been almost constant fighting, but no
| figures for the appalling losses are
forthcoming.
The losses at sea have hardly been
noted, but really more ships have
been destroyed than in any previous
! fought and the great Armada was
shattered.
When the war closes Europe will
be as was Egypt, on that dreadful
morning on which there was not a
house in which there was not one
i dead Seaside Signal.

TWENTY MILLION WORDS.

If it be true that words were made
to conceal thoughts, what an APPALLING
amount Of cogitation must have been
hidden beneath the 20,000000 Of
them emitted by the Congress which
has just come to an end. And if we
could but delve into the bowels Of
this verbal Vesuvius and learn the
nature of the thoughts that are there
SO deeply entombed what revelation
it would be of purposes defeated, Of
hopes deferred, of ambitions quench-
cd and of pride humbled. For it
has been no secret that below its sur
face Of submissive pliancy there has
been a seething and a boiling that
,ver threatened to break through and
start something We have often
wondered at this outward placdity
and inward violence, but now we
realize that it was the avalanch Of
words that kept it in subjection, an
incessant, unremitting piling on Of
words that held the victim gasping
breathlessly through all the days.
That is one of the deadly, or, we
might say, asphyxiating, qualities of
words, and it is not at all necessary
that they be words of wisdom. On
the contrary it has long been observ-
cd that wisdom is found in words in
inverse ratio to their quantity that
a multiplicity of words is almost GER
tain evidence Of lack Of sense The
fool" says Shakespeare, "has planted
in his memory an army of good
words Pope expresses it in the

The 1915 Oregon Almanac is on
our desk. This is the official pam
phlet published by the State of Greg
on for the information of homeseek-
ers, settlers and investors, and put
out by the Oregon State immigration
Commission. The present issue will
no doubt be the last of this valuable
work, as the appropriation for this
commission was cut off by the last
legislature and there will be no
funds with which to do business. The
Almanac is valuable guide to the
people looking for locations in the
State of Oregon.

Mike Gibbons and Eddie McGOoFty,
if they perform at the limit Of their
abilities, should present warm bait
tie during ten round tonight at Hud-
son, Wis.
Gibbons, Of course, is the faVeEits.
and logivally so. The battles Of to-
nights two principles with Jimmy
,Clabby furnish a fair line on their
worth. Gibbons recently took 2 de-
cisiOn from the Hammond man. Nc
Goorty has tried to turn the same
trick three separate times and failed.
The fight of the two Irishmen a
couple of years back in Milwaukee
such be thrown out. Each man
seemed afraid at that time to take
chance and the result was very tame.
Each battler landed one stout blow
and rest of the half hour was taken
up in dancing. McGoorty proved the
more adept in grace and was given
the popular-or unpopular-decision.
Matters are different now, how.
ever. Gibbons and McGOorty stand
with Clabby at the very front of the
middleweight division and the one Of
trio who can place himself decisivelY
ahead of the other two can lay I'M

GUS, bases hope for the success of the bill:
 Notifications agreed to at Tuesday nights caucus, with a few verbal alterations. were approved today by Senators LaFollette and Norris, Re- publican Progressives.
 Three Democrats, Newlands of Nevada, Smith of South Carolina, and Lewis of illinois, are absent. Two Republicans, Penrose of Pennsylva- mia and Fall of New Mexico are absent. Thus in pairing senators, there is one Democrat who cannot be paired. It happens to be Senator Lewis, who is at Asheville, for the benefit of his health, under the ad- vice of his physician.
 One report tonight was that Sena- tor Lewis would be here tomorrow, but another said several telegrams appealing to him to return were un- answered.
 With Senator Lewis voting with the. majority of his party, and with Senator Norris in this alignment, the Democrats would gain t1e vote on the motion to recommit, and Vice President Marshall would cast the deciding vote.
 The Democrats, however, figure upon obtaining an additional vote, which they believe will remove all doubt as to their ability to prevent an unqualified recommitaI of the bill.
 The seven dissenting Democrats are ignored entirely. They refused absolutely to consider any compro- mise of any character.
 The caucus amendments have been prepared, but are carefully guarded by Democratic leaders. One is in line with that offered by Senator La Toilette, that no charter or lease of any vessel shall be for longer period than 12 months. Senator Nor ris said this restriction, in effect, committed the government to the policy of permanent government ownership and operation.
 Those who conferred with Norris also agreed to incorporate a provi- sion that no vessel shall be purchas- ed which sails under the flag of any belligerent nation, unless an agree ment shall have been reached first that will avoid international dispute regarding the purchase.
 With these amendments, Senator Norris said he would support the bill.
 If the majority is able to put this program through, Republicans say they w.ll filibuster until the expira, tion of the session.

Writes About Trip to Florida

We are back from a stay of sew
eral months in Florida. We wit
messed a heavy bloom on the orange
trees in March and enjoyed the fra
GRANGE and the fruit of the beauti-
full groves. Ripe oranges were still
hanging on the trees and they are
the sweetest ard hest Of all fruit
there. Barlow, where we visited,
is a pretty town about the size Of
Dawson, Ga. It it is near the cen
ter of the narrowest part Of the
peninsula and a little below Tam
pas latitude. The phosphate
mines were booming, strawberry
and truck farms we're splendid and
the melons in June were as large
and sweet as we ever saw IN Geor-
gia in midsummer.

preciated some last fall, but they
never felt the financial depression
that the people Of the cotton belt
realized at the beginning Of the for
eign war. Yankee energy and
Southern determination are doing
mach to bring Florida products to
high standard, and those same
characteristics are making harmony
and good will among the various
states of the Union, for they are
there from Maine to California.
They boost the Panama canal, talk
Of South Americas resources and
visit its port more than the people
elsewhere. Why don't the church
here get that neutral country on its
heart and send missionaries there,
instead Of China, Japan and other
countries across the oceans. Isn't
it duty we owe to those nearest
us? In attending to our neighbour
'7ants the German submarines
would have little opportunity to
+iniure those we send, and develop
ing those Latin countries would add
to the prosperity Of our states.
The Dixie Highway attracts much
attention in Florida and will rival
railroads for travel in future. There
are many Georgians in Florida, and
the newspapers Of this state are 50
widely circulated there, that tie
doings Of our people are widely
known. The sentiment voiced
among those people is that John NJ !.
Slaton will never sit in the balls OF
Congress from the Empire State OF
the South.
The flowers and the semi-tropical
growth in middle and southern
Florida are quite noticeable to visi-
tors. The Sage palm and banana
bear fruit and the date palm blooms
are there. The Australian pine
has quaint, pretty foliage with no
resemblance to our pines, except in
height. The Jaek-a-lanta of South
American growth, is q large tree
covered with tags Of showey laven-
der blooms. The Confederate Jesa-
mine is a mxuriant vine, bearing
clusters of dainty, sweet scented,
snow-white flowers.
But the climate, products and
advantages Of our own native state
equal and even surpass mos. Of the
countries, so win right where YOU
are and be satisfied.
