WALSH WILL AFFORD CLOSE IN.
SPECTIOJf OF HIS MACHINE.
Aviator and His Men Will Reach . La
Grande en July Seventh. :
Spectacular flying, something that
Ufcion and Wallowa counties have
never seen, is scheduled for July 8th
and 9th. when Charles P. Walsh, the
world-famed blrdman will give an ex
hibition In the art of flying: in La
Grande. .' "
At last La Grande is to have a real
aviation meet All arrangements have
been, made and completed. .' The avi
ator, Charles F. Walshwill, according
to contract, arrive here one day ahead
of Hm br!:;!; Us Cut iW arman-
Wright biplane, and a staff of mechan
ics. The aviator will . ordinarily flv
from 20 minutes up, weather permit
ting of course, and will attain an alti
tude of not less than 100 feet. He
will also fly as close to the around as
It is possible to do, and should the
weather Interfere all those purchas
ing tickets will be given rain checks
for the following day. The aviation
exhibition, which Is to take place here,
Is without doubt one of the most pop
ular programs that any aviator could
attempt to carry out He will do
stunts within the grounds that hardly
Beem possible for any one even to at
tempt without wrecking the machine.
The Start Interesting. .
The main point in aviation meets is
to see the way the machine gets off
the ground, and in fact, inspect the
machine itself, as well as to see how
close they can fly to the around and An
Just as good work as , though . there
were higher in the air. Many people
Imagine that by standing outside of
tne grounds they can see the flight
Jus;t as well as If they were within
the grounds. This is not the case, be
cause it gives a very poor idea of the
working of the machine.
Charles P. Walsh has been very suc
cessful in all his attempts of aviation
and has practically met with very few
accidents, none of them serious. While
some of his attempts have been even
more daring than some of the other
aviators, and the fact that he recently
made a record breaking flight at Peta
luma, California, to Santa Rosa, a
distance of 14 1-2 miles in 12 minutes
and 32 seconds, goes to ehow that he
must be something of an aviator. In
this flight Just mentioned he got away
apparently with as much ease as a
bird, which goes to show that a man
can run an aeroplane Just as easily as
he can run an automobile, providing
that he does not get too reckless.
used by civilized man. Having plen
ty of It. we not only get all these
things cheaper ourselves, but can sell
It to those states and countries that
have no forests. ' e
"Lumbering is an important indus
try in the Pacific northwest It brings
about 1125,000,000 a year, or more
than $332,000 a day, into the five states
mentioned and nearly all of this mon
ey is paid out for labor and supplier
so that every family shares It It
contributes to every line of Industry
as well as to the farmer, the merchant,
the mechanic aod' tha jJrofcsiIonal
man. No other product of these states
furnishes employment for so many
people or brings In 'so much money.
Lumber makes up 75 per cent of all
the freight we ship out of these states
by rail or boat
"Our forests are uesful and neces
sary, as they keep the flow of our
streams even,, preventing floods in
the wet season and furnishing water
for Irrigation and power during the
dry Beason; they pay taxes to sup
port our roads, our schools and our
government; they shelter our wild
game and flah, and in many other ways
make our country healthier and p!m-aulei-
io uve in. In most of our west
ern states, the public schools are
supported largely by the sale of tim
ber from state forest lands.
' "Although not always as serious as
they were last year, forest Area In Or
egon, Washlnton, Idaho, Montana and
California, annually- destroy timber,
which, if eaved for manufacture,
would bring In $40,000,000. We not
only lose, this income, but we have
to pay higher taxes on tha rest of
our. property and higher prices for
the forest material which etecapes.
These forests kill the young trees, so
new forests cannot follow the old
J ones, and, by leaving the ground
bare, also hasten the rapid run-off of
Bnow and rain and make our streams
low in Bummer. Other losesss are
human lives and , the destruction of
buildings and stock. '
"Primarily, our chief work is to en
courage legislation to protect our for
ests and secure the appropriation of
state funds to arry out the laws also
to provide for fire patrols, and to
'teach men, women and children the
value of knowing what to do, not so
much in the way of fighting fires as
in preventing them. We need the
support of the National Irrigation
congress to assist us in spreading the
gospel of Are prevention and with
that end In view hope to bring . the
matter to the attention of the con
gress in a formal way at the Chicago
convention.
"Forests are necessary to success
ful i.rigatioh, as the trees retain the
ralu and snowfall and thus assure
sufficient moisture for crop purposes
during the dry Beason. Irrigation,
which makes intensive farming pos
sible, Is largely responsible for the
well developed country districts in
the northwest, where the rural com
munities are so thickly populated they
resemble suburbs of cities.
"The extent of operations in irri
gated lands in the northwest will be
better understood when it is . known
that the value of the apple an d other
fruit crops In Oregon, Washington.
Idaho and Montana amounted to ap
proximately $22,000,000 in 1910.
"This is only the beginning of the
fruit Industry in the northwest, and
where millions of acres of land, now
flecked with the dusty green of sage
brush is awaiting the refreshing
moisture to make it blossom like the
proverbial rose. Irrigation does
much more for the growing crops than
rain, as the natural elements , give
nothing except moisture, while, the
waters diverted from the timbered
mountain aides bring with them new
fertility. ' : - v - - -; 1

, "Ten to 20 acres of land provide
shelter food and raiment for a family
and enable Its owner to put aside from
$500 to $1000 a year.' Scores of
hundreds of men and women, many
of whom came from, Chicago and other
crowded cities In the Mississippi river
' valley, are doing that much or better
today, and the development of the
country, yet In Its Infancy, will pro
vide a safety valve against the im
