At the present time considerable In terest . is displayed throughout the western country in aviation, and it is with no smalt amount of pride that La Grande announces to the outside country a successful 'flight first of all the Interior flties from .Portland to Boise. . Leadership In this is only an other evidence of the desire of this city to stay in the foreground. The big pay rolls, the splendid market, the ad vancement In real estate, the exten- elve improvements, the Chautauqua assembly, and in fact, everything you can mention this -city' Is first to obtain. We preceded Baker with a success ful flight two days. You may think great amount of : time, but the mere fact that this city was first' means something In the way of advertising. And it should and does mean, a; great deal to the home psople, for only those who piked and stayed on the outside are so thick skinned that they could not appreciate a stride of advance ment for La Grande. The substantial ekment of this city is glad the avia tion meet was held and the only re grettable feature of the whole thing was the disposition of cheapness and lack of loyalty on the part of some of the people who claim to live in the Grande Ronde valley. . WATCH MR. JJRYAJit bold opposite views. If a mixed Jury of men and women is kept together In a felony caBe until fall are agreed upon a verdict.. It six women and six men are lock ed In a room to determine the guilt or innocence of a person charged with a capital crlmet Relating to service of Jurors in the superior court the law adopted by the legislature of 1911, says: "Any women desiring to be excused from Jury service may claim exemp tion by signing a writttn or printed notice, thereof and returning same to the sheriff before the date of appear ance, and If exemption Is claimed by reason of sex, no fe shall be allowed for her appearance." . The law provides that the Jury sworn to try the Issues in felony caseg shall be ki-pt together and in custody of the officers of the court except dur ing the actual progress of the trial, thus putting t squarely up to the to solve .the problem allowing 'the question to solve Itself, if the wo men who desire- to serve as Jurors can not se'.tle it among themselves.

Norris, of the Fifth Nebraska district, who Is one of the conspicuous leaders among the insurgent republicans in the house was born on a farm in Sandusky, Ohio; July 11. 1861. His father died; when he was a babe, his only brother was killed In the civil war, and his mother was left in straitened circumstances. In his boyhood he was compelled t o work out among the neighboring far mers and his facilities for getting an education were , very meagre. He studied hard, however, and became proficient enough to become a country schoolmaster. With the money thus earned he attended Baldwin university and later took a course at the Indiana normal school. He later was enabled to enter a law school and was admit ted to the bar In 1883. Two years la ter he settled In Nebraska and soon began to be conspicuous in politics After threrj terms as prosecuting at torney he was elected Judge of the dis trict court and served on the bench from 1895 until his election to con gress in 1902, ' ' ORGIES IN NEW GUINEA. Wild and Bloody Scenes Whtn the Na tives Get Intoxicated. Of the unpleasant drinking customs of certain nations in New Guinea Wal ter Goodfellow writes: "We did not find the people down by the coast nearly so tractable or companionable as those at the headwaters of tbe riv er. They were also much more quar relsome among themselves. Tbey tap a species of sugar palm' up tbe river and make fermented drink out of it On this they get fearfully intoxicated, and wild orgies take place all day. Parties of them would go off In canoes and sit tinder the palms from which the drink was obtained. . In the morn ing they would return extremely drank, and fights used to be the re sult '; ' K-.,lmM 1V. !,. laataA nr two days at a time. In oar vicinity tbey more often than not took place at night Tbe natives then made such an indescribable din with their howl ing and their noises that we could not i sleep at our base camp. Spears and showers of arrows were discharged In alj directions, and one could hear tbe sound of their axes dealing blows on the bodies of tbe combatants. "After a time tbe women would Join In tbe fray, and their shrill voices add ed to tbe bnbel. making the noise greater than ever. When they be came Involved in tbe fights tbey seem ed to be worse than tbe men. .The cries were not like sounds emitted by human beings, but rather like tbe cries of animals." Chicago News. This talk of Woodrow Wilson or Judson Harmon grabbing the demo cratic national convention is not very havy. Each man Is showing some strength, but there is strength far superior to theirs which will be In ev idence at that convention. It is the imnuii. lit Mr Brvn. At oresent 1 iv.e,w, - ..... w ' i such a thing as his nomination may I not seem possible, but be not alarmed ! for' beyond the present horizon tWre is strong evidence of a garrison finish and a Bryan npminatlon. The fight would then be between Mr. Taft an! Mr. Bryan. How would ho like to take part in such a campaign? Perhaps such a thjng Is not possi ble, and perhaps i Is. Quite certain It is that Bryan with all of his defeats is by far the strongest man in demo cratic circles now and he will be the strongest when the national conven tion Is held, although.he may be Jug gled out of th nomination. DRAWING" TO A CLOSE. : The second annual Chautauquan as sembly is drawing to a close and its closing will mark another successful attempt at holding such a gathering Jn Union county. Whether the assem bly pays this or not there Is no doubt as to Its permanency. It has come to stay and will gain new friends each year. The strongest advocate of con tinuation are those who did the Chau tauqua in true Chautauqua style stayed out In their tents end enjoyed the whole meeting. A perplexing jr.mon of what to do with women who will be called to serve as Jurors with men when the Spokane county superior court con venes next September, is one of the Taxing problerog confronting the five members of the bench, leaded by Judge Henry L. Kennan. The Various clubs in Spokane have given out th statement that their members are wil ling and rfady to do Jury duty.

Thomson showed by an experiment thatbydro gen can be passed into a vacuum tube through an incandescent platinum window. In a similar way sodium passes through glass, and this is a useful; fact in tbe manufacture of vacuum tubes, because sodium can be passed Into the tube to absorb tbe residual oxygen. Itellntt. the Italian physicist, has shown that hydrogen can puss through cold iron. Matter may therefore be generally regnrded as full of holes.

The fact that ice la plentiful and cheap makes living, in Persia more pleasant than It would otherwise be. nd the fact that It can be obtained at all la Indicative of the Ingenuity of tbe people of the country. The ground Is so porous that water percolHteit through quickly. There are therefore few rivers or lakes from which Ice can be obtained, and It Is seldom so rold In auy part of Persia thai Ice. of n thickness suitable for packing would form uuder thn dlrert rays of the suit.

This he floods at night with water, and so be goes on adding Inch to Inch until he can cut a block of considerable thickness.
