J--- L" ' HEROISM OF PEACEFUL SERVICE The recent death of eight poBtal clerks out of nine In the Wellington disaster calls attention to a type 1 heroism very generally overlooked. . The heroism of peaceful service, it might well be termed. There is no sounding of drums or flying of flags; no stir of a standup light, no shouts from the gallery to Inspire spectac ular efforts. - It Is the simple per formance of an Important duty in the face of great danger. In the last five years one out of every 21 postal clerks In the govern ment service haB either been killed or Injured. During the Spanish war this would have been considered a terrifying casualty record. And yet tha postal clerk goes on with his work, makes it possible for many mil lions of, people to get their letters or papers at the earliest possible mo ment and neither asks or receives - and recognition or reward. .A fine type of hetoism this; and JndcnUve of a new and'lmproved type . '6t courage. Those who think hero Ism has passed and tha rugged fight ing Bplrlt of our ancestors departed ' mistake tha symbol for tne suusiance Suth qualities have not disappeared, they have only changed. In the death -of these eight boys one sees the martial spirit devoted to the service of mankind rather thnn . to the destruction; and in the trlbutj - to their devotion there Is a const ruc- '2-live element rather than the revenw Ibe dream of universal peace rav pner be realized; but It Is not uu- .. JlkHy that the tlnie will. come whn . lieiolsm In peaceful service will br t as highly regarded and recognied , as heroism in war. Another significant feature of the records In this connection is the showing that a total of 2040 acres of allotted Indian lands have come Into the possession of. white farmers. This land Is of the average value of $40 per acre an3 Is also to be added to the taxable property of the county. i " A solid week of April temperature In that usually tempestuous month of March is a lltttle more than the av erage East Oregonlan can account for. However, there is no serious ob jection to the style of weather and If the gods that control the wind bel lows and rain cocks prefer to give Union county this extremely delight ful weather In March, why, well and good; there is no objection to it. Ev en the orchardist cannot complain for the frosty nights prevent premature budding of trees. Fairbanks to Re-enter Politics. London March 12.Farmtr Vice- president Fairbanks who sailed for America today declared before leav ing that he may enter politics at no dlBtant date. He declined to state what particular field he was consld erlng. where wheat flour was used. The feast was provided by Secretary Dick inson and was a unique banquet giv en with the view of showing that cot tonseed flour could be used in the place of wheat flour. Accept fallionn Stone Waaington, March 12. John Catd well Calhoun, congressman, senator. cabinet members and vloe president father of nullification and states rights, and one of the South's grent est statesmen, who died in Washing ton 60 years ago this month, has re turned to his former haunts in the national capltol In the form of an Imposing marble statue. The memo rial, the gift of South Carolina to the Hall of Fame In the capltol, was to day formally accepted by cougresa, with dedicatory ceremonies of an Im posing nature. He was elected to congress when barely 30 years of age, and from thnt time ' forth he was seldom absent from Washington, It was Colhoun, who as a member of the committee on foreign relations, reported the bill which declared for declaring War against England which passed in June, 1812. He was Vice-president of the United Staates under John Q. Adams and Gen. Jackson, but be came ft pronounced enemy of the lat ter, against whom he hurled his fa mous "nullification doctrine."

March li the next generation of Americans Is to be minus molars and will have to "gum" their food is the startling statement made In a local health and hygenic magazine. Already the "toothless" age Is approaching, ac cording to this authority, who attri butes, the dental decay to Improper diet, Impaired mastication digestion. The "Quick Lunch" habit is largly responsible says the editor. He Con Hnues: v v -r "The American people hie loosing their teeth. The same process of dental decay Is going on among all ctvlllzed natlonB. The investiga tor of the future who my happen to compare the skulls In the burial plac es of ancient day cemeteries with a sample of those exhumed from the modern burial places will be greatly tinnressed bv the contrast. The mound-builder's skull has massive and symmetrical Jaws, for the reas on that each Jaw contains 1G teeth, well-developed and well-worn by a great deal of usage, but Intact, free, from decay and held in places by a set or strong roota. The present-day skull, rarily if ever, contains 32,o or if it does it Is but a short time that Judging by the records in the of fice of County Assessor Strain, the 1 . forest service and Plnchotism are not serving to prevent the public domain In Umatilla county from passing Into the hands of actual settlers says the Pendleton E. C According to these records the aforesaid domain Is rapidly disap pearing and Is being added to the taxable property of the county and tate. '. . During the year a' total of 231 final proofs were made, the 231 claims represented thereby Including both . timber claims and homesteads.' A . total of 46,000 acres or exactly two townships are Included In these claims thus .indicatlnj the rapidity with which, tbe government land !. pass ing into the hands of Individuals. DAVIS ONiTHESTAND Washington, March 12. Chief En gineer A. ' P. Davis of the reclama tion service, continued his testimony today before the Ballinger investiga tion committee. He related Inter views he had with Ballinger wherein he defended the reclamation service from the criticisms of the secretary. The attendance at today's hearing was small and Utile interest shown. E. B. Perkins, a special agent and lecturer, engaged In publicity work for the reclamation service, received $500 a month from, the Harrlman roads in addition to his salary from the government, according to Davis. Director Newell demanded Perkins resignation when he learned of the matter. Davis said that In his pres ence Ballinger reprimanded Newell for interfering in the matter. He- knew he (Ballinger) was handling him personally. ' - j Attorney Pepper, representing Pln-j chot, presented certain correspond-j ence which Included a cam'plalnt from J. J. HiU 'who objected to Perlns' methods In "boosting" only those projects along the Harrlman lines. "After all these things . coming to light, does Ballinger still retain him at Chicago?" was asked. "Yes," repied Davis. Davis said that Perkins had always insisted he was under Balllnger's Jurisdiction, and not under authority of the rec lamation service. F. LAM'EREXCE WALKER .n jOl .MES 1 V ' ...
