Government's KOorts to lteducc Ter
minal Injuries Shown.
When the United States govern
ment's Safety First special reaches
1m Grande, as it will ere many
weeks now, Union and Wallowa coun
rty dhnuld mako effort to see it. It
-v..) be worth while. The United
estates government through co-opera-xion
of the Baltimore & Ohio, is en
deavoring, for the first time to ac
quaint the people of the United States
with tlhe various methods adopted by
the federal government to further
3personal safety. The special left
Washington some iittie time ago and
is gradually woikinc, towards La
Crnnde.
At various expositions and world's
fairs that have been held in the
United States, The Jederal Govern
ment's activities along the lines of
2ife saving and property saving lhave
been explained to those who were
fortunate 'enough to attend those
trreat educational affairs. Persons
who have visited the Nation's Capital
atlso have had opportunity to know
what the Government is doing in
tlhicse lines; but the great majority of
persons have little knowledge of the
-vast organization effected to protect
Die people in peace as well as in war.
The Government, therefore, intends
to dhow this to the people who have
not had the opportunity of seeing it.
To this end, the Honorable Frank
lin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior,

to explain their working, there is a
modern machine gun similar to those
now being used in the European war;
also a rapid fire IloU'hkiss gun of the
type formerly used by the navy. A (i

ships is also exhibited. An exact
model of the pre-drendnought "Ver
mont" type, and tho commercial r..ider
"Columbia" ure shown; the latter is
ail example of the obsolete type the
scout cruiser now hiking its place.
Perhaps the most interesting feat
ure in the navy exhibit is a torpedo,
the type of instrument that has caused
so much death and destruction in tho
European war. The navy men will
explain that each torpedo costs from
$4,000 to $8,000 and that many of
them have been used in tho present
war. The navy has obtained from
one of its submarines a portable wire
less outfit, which will be carried with
the train and will be in working ord

will bo received and sent daily and
visitors will bo permitted to witness
the actual working conditions.

Supreme court has affirmed the judg
ment of Circuit Judge Kakin in the
case of Norris Staples against the
city of Astoria and others in wtoch

more in Astoria than in Portland xil

Oregon comes by water right by As
toria's wharves.
