NEW LIFE TAKES HOLD Anim Shannon Monroe Describes Tragedy of Liincon Beachcy'a Last Flight Into Vnknown North west In Evidence. BY ANNE SHANNON MONROE. OREGON BUILDING. Exposition c:.n Francisco. March 15. A curiously fascinating psychological mdv is this srreat exposition. All these .11 thmn exhibits, all these rtual nieces of other states and coun trlea bodily transported to this shore are being molded and worked into one composite body. The physical trans porting and joining was the lirst step. but the thing that time ana expert ence and torn heart and vivid Joy alone could accomplish in the welding of all these peoples into one people Is rapidly being consummated. They are becoming, through common interests and common sympathy and common ex .rini'it. one neoDle. where a few weeks ago they were a city of isolated units, curiously staring each at an other. This atmosphere of unity envelops the thousands of guests that daily pour Into the gates; they apparently forget all care, all the anxieties that beset the life of the big outer world and viefd themselves up to the new life. that takes them by the hand the In stant the exposition portals are passed They are as one people. FlUcht Made on Glorious Day. I don't think th6 exposition has known so lovely a day as Sunday, the day Beachey made his last, long, gio rious flight into the unknown. The air was still, the sky blue, and from the ocean floated in soft wraith-like films of fog that softened and toned the sunlight into a perfect hue for the soft-toned pile that is the Expo sition City. Even the thousands of pig eons that nest in the Court of the Uni verse appeared unusually aware maybe someone had whispered to them that Ueachey was to fly up among them, to fly farther than the most daring of them dared to fly. Great white gulls circled and swooped about the gray old battleship Oregon, resting- against the blue waters of the bay, and every where people smiled gaily and dallied about courts and sauntered among the statues and gazed up at the soft-toned sky and said, "Beachey will have a great day." There was that about it that is a matter of growth, that could not be imported or bought that friendly love for Beachey. The newsboys were ac customed to pause just within the gates, making change, and with up ward turn of frowsy head, remark, "Beachey a-flyin"" and no customer was ever impatient for his change, for up went hie head, too and his ace, however set In the rigid lines of ordi nary life, would relax and he'd say, just to anyone, the newsy or a stranger or himself. "He's a great one, that Beachey." and always with the surging of youth and adventure in his voice. People Refuse to Believe. So. on this most glorious of all days set by Mother Nature for Beachey's last flight, everything was propitious. The people had come in immense throngs; the grounds were black with moving figures: long before 3 the guard rope about the Marina, from where he was to fly. was strained with the multitude pressing against it. He rose amid cheers. His first flight was beautiful, but short, and down he came to the ground. They tell us that his mechanician was uneasy; that Beachey himself was uneasy, but I some way cannot believe it. He was in a new machine. Ho went up again. We watched, straining eyes, necks, back; up, up, up, almost out of sight 6000 feet they tell us but we only knew that he seemed to be flying farther than he ever flew before, and we had a Finking feeling that maybe he would fly away from us to another planet and then he began to come down; he looped, came spirally some distance, while heads and necks and backs re laxed: then all at once his wings snapped and went fluttering. Down be was coming. There was a loud re port, then the rattling of broken and tangled machinery, and, straight as a stone, he fell into the bay. Even then me could hardly believe; we refused to believe. The monoplane might be broken, but never Beachey! Everyone waited, as If stunned; there was hardly a word, hardly a change of expression; they just waited. the most silent big audience I ever saw. Then divers came from the battleship Oregon, not 500 yards away. and at last the mangled machine, with poor Beachey still strapped to it, was lifted out of the water. The crowd broke into tears; hats came off men's heads and women cried as if their hearts would break. His mechani emits were crying pitifully. The throng followed the body, perhaps the largest mourning band a dying man ever had a man whose mission was to thrill. Meeker Telia of Orra-oa Trail. Especially to commemorate "Oregon First" day yesterday. Ralph Stateli. who has been entertaining large crowds In the Oregon State building lecture hall with moving pictures of Oregon scenes and industries, gave way to Ezra Meeker who showed his Oregon Trail pictures and told of his journey over the old Oregon trail from Tacoma to Washington, D. C. The old oxen, the worn cart and the picturesque driver made up a fine set of pictures and the casual, ruminating talk was much ap preciated. The well known oxen have been killed and mounted and with the cart now make an Interesting exhibit in the Washington State building. Mr. Meeker admits that it was hard to kill these good friends of his who stood so valiantly by him in the long cross country drive, but better to kill them than risk their growing Into old age uncared for; and now they make a lasting monument to a phase of the Northwest's history. The youngest Oregonian present to help celebrate "Oregon First" day was David Jamison McDaniel, born in Port land of parents born in Portland, two years old. and the only baby boy in Oregon who ranked 100 percent per fect by the eugenics test last June. Mrs. Thomas G. Halley. hostess for Oregon, and her daughter. Miss Gene vieve Hailey, were guests at the Neth erlands ball Friday night. Military gorgeousness on the part of the men and handsome gowns of both European and American origin make the assem blage a brilliant mass of color and heen. A supper In Netherlands style was served at midnight and pretty Hol laed Sir la in native dress added to the Dicturesaueness of the scene. Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Lively, of Portland, were also guests. Mrs. Eleanor Martin gave a hostess luncheon at the Franclsca club hon oring Mrs. Thomas G. Hailey, Oregon hostess. Miss Hemsley, of the Mary land buildlne- anil Mrs. Heth. a daugh ter of General Heth of the Virginia building, were also guests. At the Paul Elder booth In the Varied Industries Palace, in the midst of th most beautiful books published In America, I found another Portland resident. Miss Mina Kelly. Miss Kelly Is becoming well known for her clever short stories. D. O. Lively Pleases Kanaana, D. O. Lively, looking ail his name Implies, made the principal speech at the Kansu dedication recently, ana Pleased his resDonsive audience. The State of Washington celebrated salmon day at the Washington building with open house, music and salmon for everybody; not a little taste sucn as the food demonstrators tease you with in the food products building, but generous plateful, together with crispy crackers. The city officials helped re ceive the throng of guests and pretty Washington girls dressed as salmon swished their green-and-golden fish tails merrily here and there about the large reception room on the second floor. Washington has a beautiful fish exhibit in the food products building; the Gov ernment figures in the same building give Oregon's output of Chinook salmon at 43,720,523 and Washington's at 385,540 annually. But Washington makes up on the other varieties, such as silver, red and humpback. POSTAL TRADE SOUGHT POSTOFFICE ANSfOTTSiCES If AMES OF SELLERS OF PRODUCE. Portland Postmaster Issaea Balletia in Effort to Increase Shopping Threagk Parcel Fast. Not only has the United States Gov ernment gone Into the parcel post bus! ness in competition with the express business, but it Is acting as a business solicitor for the new package mailing system. Bulletins are issued frequently by postmasters and other officials that contain lists of producers of country vegetables, fruitB, etc, and are intended for distribution among city dwellers to enable them to get articles direct from the producer by means of the parcel post at a minimum of cost. Such a bulletin has just been issued by Postmaster Myers. It contains the names of about 100 producers in many parts of Oregon and Washington, tO' gether with their parcel post zone from Portland and the kind of produce they have for sale. It is a function of the postal depart ment to procure these lists and the postoffice receives addresses of pro ducers for compilation and distribution. The Portland office solicits correspond ence in regard to many features of the service from both seller and buyer, par ticular attention to be paid to satisfac tory features of the service, or vice versa, comment on packing methods, prices, failure of the system for any reason and suggestions. Postmaster Myers says in his bulletin it is the desire of the Postoffice Depart' ment to bring the producer and con sumer closer together and to build up helpful relations between them through the medium of the parcel post. For that reason. Portland people will be helped in shopping in that way with people in the country. It is suggested that pro duce be bought in some quantity, as In that way the postage is reduced mate riailv. For example, the rate on the nrst nound is 5 cents in the first and second zones, which include about all the ad dresses on the list, while the rate for each additional pound is only 1 cent. Postmaster Myers suggests that It will be a good plan for neighbors to buy supplies together, up to 50 pounds, in this way. He also gives a valuable suggestion as to directing shipments in harmony with the delivery system of this city. He says goods should reach Portland not later than S o clock Saturday mornings to make certain their delivery on that day. TUTBXTY-SBVEjr AT AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE LISTED.

RIVER'S EDGEJJFFICE SITE Engineer Harrington to Conduct Work 50 Feet From Bridge. VANCOUVER. Wash.. March IS. (Special.) When John Lyle Harring ton, engineer of the Columbia River Interstate Bridge, was asked many months ago, where his office would be. he replied. "Just as close to the Columbia River as it can be built." The office Is now being built on a concrete foundation started two years ago by the Portland Railway, Light & Tower Company for Its office in this city, but abandoned when wa ter from the Columbia covered the floor, and it was learned the bridge was to be built. A frame structure is being erected on this foundation, and here the resident engineer, with his assistants, will bave their office. It is within 50 feet of the site of the bridge, overlooking the river and at the foot of Washington street. MITCHELL POINT ROUTE ADVOOATED E. E. Coovert Declares Fail ure of State to Keep Faith Would Be Calamity. SPECIFIC PLEDGE IS CITED Representative of Mr. Benson As serts That Koadbuilding Done by Hood River Would Be Use less Without This Link. "If the State Highway Commission wants to keep its word and act in good faith toward the people of Hood River County It will appropriate the money necessary to eliminate the 28 per cen grade at Mitchell Point." said E. K. Coovert yesterday. Mr. Coovert represents S. Benson, who recently offered to advance the money necessary for building the Mitchell Point road and is greatly in terested in highway development and in good roads generaly. He and Mr. Benson, as well as other good roads enthusiasts in Portland, are taking sharp issue with State Senator Day, who has urged the State High way Commission to break its pledge to tne 1000 Kiver people and spend the money that it has promised for the Mitchell Point work on roads in another part of the county. The com mission, after listening to Senator Day on Wednesday, deferred letting the contract, but will take final action next Monday. "The people of Hood River County were promised definitely that the state would spend 150.000 or such part of it as would be required on the road at Mitchell Point." continued Mr. Coo vert. "and It was with that pledge in mina tnat tney voted to bond them selves for J75.000 to connect up with tne Columbia Highway at the Multno mah County line. Resolution Is Cited. The State Highway Commission few days before the Hood River County vole was taken, adopted a resolution agreeing to appropriate the money for this work within the year 1915. The commission at that time consisted of Governor West, Treasurer Kay and Secretary of State Olcott. Mr. Kay and Mr. Olcott still are members of te commission. At anv rate the rnmmin- sion should be bound by its former res olution. I can t see how it can repu diate that resolution without casting renection upon the good faith of tho state. jar. .Benson was present at the time the resolution was adopted. The Com mission specified that the money was to De appropiatea for the work at Mitchell Point provided the Legisla ture of 181a did not abolish the Com mission or impair the quarter-mill tax levy. On the strength of this promise tne nood itiver people decided to bond themselves for (75,000 by a vote of 4 to 1. Money Pledged Conditionally. "During the closing days of the Legislature, when I became confident that no change would be made in the existing . laws affecting either the Highway Commission or the levy. attended a meeting of the Commission at Salem and promised, on behalf of Mr. tfenson, to advance the money necessary to meet the payrolls until the state funds were available, if the Commission would order the Mitchell Point work to proceed at once. Gov ernor WIthycombe, Treasurer Kay and Secretary Olcott at that time consti tuted the Commission. It was in ac cordance with that promise from Mr. Benson that they ordered the engi neers to make the surveys of the work and advertised for bids. "The engineers' estimates were that the work would cost approximately (50,000, but it is a condition in favor of the project that the bids which were opened on Wednesday show that the work can be done for about $40,- 000, not including engineering costs. It is absolutely ' necessary to build that Mitchell Point road if the Colum bla Highway is to be of any practical value. Senator Day is wrong when he says the grade is only 17 per cetrt. The grade is precisely 28 per cent, and he ought to know it. Present Road Declared Dangerous. "Senator Day Is right when he says the present road over Mitchell Point has been in existence for 50 years, but It has not been used for 45 years. It consists of nothing more than a trail. It Is steep and dangerous and hangs out over the railroad at an elevation of about 700 feet. id hate to send my family over it. The plans for improving this road provide for a maximum grade of less than 5 per cent, it win connect up the Columbia highway in Multnomah County, upon which we have spent several hundred thousand dollars and which the people of Multnoman County take so much interest and pride. The Hood River people already nave built a road connecting with our nign way at the Multnomah County line ana extending to Cascade Locks. From Cascade Locks to Wyeth there is a good road. From Wyeth to viento a new road Is being built with funds accruing from the J75.000 bond issue. From Viento to Hood River there is a good road wltn the exception of the barrier at Mitchell Point If the state takes Senator uay s ad vice and falls to appropriate the money for the Mitchell Point road, as It has promised to do, the Columbia Highway will end right there. All the money spent by Multnomah County and by Hood River county win serve to pro duce only a scenic highway, but will not be worth a cent so far as practi cal benefits to the farmer and the tour ist are concerned. "Those are the facts In the case and hope the Commission will consider them. ODGE HEAD IS COMING I. BOAK TO ATTEND WOODMEN CELEBRATION 1ST PORTLAND. Twenty-fifth Anniversary of Organi sation to Be Observed Several Thousand Delea-ates to Attend. I. I. Boak. of Denver, head consul of the Woodmen of the World, will be the central figure at a big celebration of Woodmen to be held April 26 at the Portland Masonic Temple. The meet ing will be a state observancee of the 5th anniversary of the lodge, the grand silver jubilee to be held in San Francisco in August. The Portland celebration will be an event of more than passing Importance, because it will bring several thousand delegates to the city from throughout the state and several visitors from Washington and California. Inasmuch as there are 17,000 members in Oregon, of which between 000 and 7000 are members of the Portland camps, a con- clave of note is proposed and commit tees have been appointed to work out the plans of entertainment. George Rossman is general chairman of the committees and C B. Turlay is secretary and treasurer. To their aid they have called a large publicity com mittee, headed by William Reidt, of Webfoot Camp, and composed of the following other members: J. O. Wilson, Multnomah Camp; George L. Baker, Portland Camp; J. J. Jennings, Pros pect Camp; J. W. Boo the. Rose City Camp; H. J. Blaesing, George Washing ton Camp; L. W. Oren, Sunnyside Camp; Z. T. Saulcer, Arleta Camp, and A. L. Barbur. general representative. The celebration will be a prologue to the grand silver anniversary at San Francisco August 11,- when thousands of Woodmen from all over the country will be In attendance. Mr. Boak is one of the Idols of the lodge, having been at the head for the last 10 years. His visit to Portland will be auspicious, inasmuch as he will survey the progress of the Oregon lodges and will be a guest of honor at the big meeting of lodgemen. There are eight camps in Portland and these are preparing to send four drill teams to the a.n Francisco cele bration to take part in the competition for the $1750 cash prize. These teams are preparing for the event and some of them have won enviable reputations already. The flower of the lodges will be selected for the contest and officials of the local lodges are confident In their undertaking. Mr. Boak's position and personality make his visit to Portland consequen tial and the celebration planned in his honor will be attended by officials of the city, including the Mayor; offi cials of the state, including probably the Governor, and members of the clergy, as well as prominent business men in and out of the lodge. The cele bration will be open to the public and it is proposed to take in a class of 400 or 500 members at that time. There are 152 camps in the state. BOYS CAREER IS HALTED FRAZIER HOME FUGITIVES, 13, AD MIT WEEK OP ROBBERIES. J case James Emulated, bat Woman In BogRy Drives On. Heedless of "Armed" Youths. John Edgar and James Wilkins. two 13-year-old boys, who escaped from the Frazier Detention Home a week agro, were captured by Detectives Leonard and Hill and Patrolman Leisy at Second and Montgomery streets last night with loot, which they confessed stealing from four houses. The boys were armed with revolvers and had been sleeping in the open since their es cape. The youngsters confessed robbing one house, at 787 Water street, of a gold watch, three, rings and $5 in money. They left a bouquet of wild flowers in payment. "We intended to trade the flowers to the woman for some food said young Wilkins. "But she wasn't home, so we helped ourselves, and left the bouquet, anyway." The other houses robbed, according to the boys confession, were a res idence on Council Crest, where they secured a watch find chain and a flash light; a building at the foot of Mont gomery street, where they obtained the revolvers, and a house in Washougal, Wash., where they fetole some pies, a watch and a small amount of money. "We never held up anybody said Edgar. "Of course, we talked about being Jesse James when we got hun gry, but ' "A nice Jesee James you'd be," in terrupted Wilkins. "He tried to hold up an old woman near Washougal, but his revolver got stuck in his pocket and he couldn't get it out. '"Throw up your hands!' he yelled, and jumped out in front of the buggy. But the old woman just kept driving along and paid no attention." The boys said they passed one night under a pile of tiling, "slapping each other's faces to keep warm." Other nights were passed on the roofs of flat buildings and in bams and out houses. The lads admitted that the weather was cold for camping, but maintained that they had a good time. The youngsters had purchased a fry ing pan, a set of knives and forks and other supplies. These, with the loot, were carried in a bag marked "O. N. G." In large black letters. The boys were sent back to the de tention home last night. EXHIBIT DIRECTOR CHOSEN Fred R. Mellls, of Baker, to Have Charge of Mining Display. BAKER. Or.. March 18. (Special.) Fred R.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water, and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down urlo acid. Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is gene rated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kid neys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which k-eps accumulat ing and circulating thrcugh the sys tem, eventually settling in the Joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. . At the first twinge 01 rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drinU before breakfast each morning for a week. This Is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal ac tion, thus ridding tee Diood or these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent result? by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
