has been said that Wallowa eauu- T
ty alone is capable of sustaining a jj
population ten times as great as U
has, and the same can truthfully be
said of the Grande Ronde valley.
And It Is the mission of. the. Com
mercial club to form some plan of ac-
tlon where each community may do
its part and yet all work together ini
one big effort to push the twp coun-,

THE FATALITIES OF FLIGHT.'
If a novice in -the, operation of 'n
high-powered automobile took his ma
Chine out on a stormy day arid raced
the car over rough mud-covered roads
and met disaster, the public would not
blame the automobile. ! Yet men soar
into the air In machines of such fra
gile, construction that a coniseientious
mechanic would bS asharned of them;
venture up when there are high winds
and come to grief in attempting reck
less exhibition ' feats besides which

heed, who ranks as an authority on
the subjects, shows that much of the
responsibility for aeroplane fatali
ties Is misplaced. He says: "Men are
prone to appraise casualty by Its hor
ror rather' than by Its statistics, and
the thought of one ndlvidum tumbling
from the skies grips harder on tha
popular Imagination than the slaugh
ter of a few scores In a factory Are,
or a million deaths from tuberculosis.
Yet 'the . statistical measure Is ob
viously the only fair one. This is un
wittingly conceded by even the most
uncompromising of critics, whose In
variable retort to the suggestion that
men occasionally meet violent deaths
otherwise than by aeroplane accidents
Is triumphant citation of the fact that
there are more of the other things
Incompetently piloted . automobiles,
fenderless ' street cars, disregarded
danger signals, or what not In use.
So be It. For It happens that the
chief reason aeroplane accidents are!
becoming more frequent and will con
tinue to become more frequent, In
spite of the definitely Improving safety
jof aeroplane travel, is the fact that
more aeroplanes are In use."
j After summarizing the progress hi
aviation, Mr. Louglieed points out that
there have been "about one death to
leach 60,000 miles of flight, which
Statistically, and therefore unpreju
dicedly considered proves human
flight to be only about l-60th as dan
gerous as It was two years ago." The
