WOMAN KILLED
BY FALL FROM
HIGH TRESTLE
Mrs. Ana Wink. Daughter of
Pioneer Family, Meets Death
Tuesday Afternoon Near
South Beach.
Mrs. Ana Wink, aged 45 years,
daughter of one of the oldest pioneer
families of western Oregon, was kill
ed Tuesday afternoon about 4 p. m.
when she fell from the 60-foot trestle
on the logging lino of the Pivciflc
Spruce Corporaticn. The trestle is
located four miles sculh of South
Beach. According to tlia best inform
ation poesiblo to cb'.iin, Mrs. Wink
became frightened up-.n the approach
of a railroad engine operated by em
ployees of the Spruc9 Co., and fell
from the trestle brsaking her neck In
the 60-fcot fall to the ground. It had
been reported that the engine struck
Mrs. Wink, but examination of the
body by Dr. Belt, showed no signs of
being hit by the tender of the engine,
according to the coroner's Jury ver
dict. Mrs. Wink has been making her
home with her aged mother, Mrs. John
GuiMama. and her two brothers, Mark
and Newt., at the old family borne near
South Beach. The family 1s well
known and highly respected by the
people of the community and their
many friends are grief stricken over
the unfortunate affair.
Outside of her many friends
Mrs. Wink is survived by a 17-year-old
son and a daughter, her mother, two
Slaters and two brothers. Word has
not been received as to the funeral
service but it Is understood that it U
being held up pending the arrival of
relatives from other sections.
The coroners inquest was held at
South Beach Wednesday and its veis
diet was ag follows:
"South Beach, Ore., May 17.
Dr. F. M. Carter, coroner of Lincoln
county.
We, the undersigned Coroner's Jury
In the case of MVs. Ana Wink, deceas
ed herewith submit the following ver
dict: fit la our findings, base4 upon the
evidence submtttedy .that Mrs. Ana
Wink came to her death through una
voidable cause on the part of the em
ployees of the Pacific Spruce corpora
tion. In te operation of one of the
company's engines; that it is our fur
ther opinion that Mrs. Wink became
confused or exhausted and laid down,
on te trestle. At the examination con
dutcdo by Dr. W. C. Belt, there wag
no mark on her person to show that
she had been struck by the tender;
there is a possibility that she became
frightened and rolled off the trestle.
It Is our further opinion that the
Pacific Spruce Co., and employees are
absolved from any blame, the causa
of death being accidental and unavoid
able. .

Farmers Winning
In Congress Says
Miles Poindexter
Should Now Turn to Business
and Succeed by Combination;
Should Keep Away From Class
Legislation.
By MILES FOINDEXTER
U. 8. Senator from Washington
Relief of most of the difficulties of
farm marketing can be had throush
fanners cooperation.
It is an old saying that "God helps
those who help themselves." It Is
also a common observation that uie
fate of individuals depends upon their
own efforts more than anything else
combined.
I noticed the other day an account
In a newspaper of a month-old baby,
which had been abandoned In r. thick
et. A policeman passing by heard a
lusty cry from the infant and rescued
it. This Is a very good Instance of
the early age at which even the ques
tion of life or death depends upon
one's own efforts. If this baby had not
helped itself by giving Uie lalarm,

j M numose in montionlng thin Is to
, out the moral that farmers can
5 mo to? Zm.eTves than the
government can possibly do for them.
Nearly every legislative measure that
has been approved and requested
generally by farmers' national organi
zations during the term of the present
Congress, has been favorably acted
Upon, and although some of them hnve
been of substantial assistance to agri
culture, they will be of comparatively,
little benefit unless the farmer him
self takes those voluntary steps which
will put him In the way of gettlni;
tho benefit of conditions created by!00 expenses growing out of the
these laws. The farmer deals on the wnr. BU as interest on una national
cue hand with labor, which Is highly debt, payment on the sinking fund and
organized, and on the other hand with I $000,000,000 for the care of our needy
"big business," which Is also highly I veterans of the conflict, and an In

I am not In favor of class loglsia- Government has been brought down
tlon, and It Is not necessary that there to approximately what it was before
should be any class legislation. All w entered the war in 117.' declared
that Is necessarv is that the farmer .
should have the benefit of the same
right to organize enjoyed by labor and
by business. Heretofore he has bean
a lone Individual, dealing with power
ful organizations. By being organized,
both labor . and business are able to
command the highest quality of ser
vice. They have the ablest lawyers
to advise them both in questions of
legal difficulties, and in getting out of
such difficulties, in case they Bhould
got in. They have experts on efficien
cy and economy In marketing, not only
as to methods and facilities, but as .o
studying market conditions and prices.
The farmer has mado a great deal
of progress In the last two or three
years by way of national organization
through the Farm Bureau and Uie
combination of various other organi-
nations, acting Jointly in Washington
City. But these activities are con
fined very largely to political and leg
islative matters. If the same system
could be applied to the farmer's busi
ness. Including methods of producing
conditions, employment of his luuor,
buying of My farm Implements and
family supptlos, und placing hl3 crops
upon the market In good condition and
to the best advantage as to price, he
undoubtedly would reap the same ben
efits from such organization as the
I cot ton, citrus, and raisin growers of
California have enjoyed in the specific
cases where thoy lwivo organized along
I similar lines. There Is no reason at
;ull why this ennnot be done. All that
Ms required is the will to do It.

Government Cost
Being Decreased
By Administration
Senator Frelinghuysen Shows
Where 320,278 Persons Have
Been Taken Off Gov. Payroll;
Saving $320,000,000 Per Year.
Washington, May 16 (Special cor
respondence) "Excepting $2,000,000,-
owuhwh- i uu.i,bu hi in-nu
dress at Atlantic City, New Jors?7.
The Senator disclosed a memorandum
from Secretary Mellon which shows
that the estimates for the fiscal year
of 1923 are $3,700,000,000, or $1,800.
000,000 less than the expenditures of
1921. This Is a reduction of almost
one-third and It speaks volumes for
tho achievement of the Republican
party in lightening the burdens of
the taxpayers.
In addition to this Senator Freling
huysen cited the fact that the number
of persons employed In Washington
has been reduced by the Republicans
fromfrom 119,000 to 73,000, while
throughout the entire nation 320. 27S
persons were dropped from the Gov
ernment payrolls. Taking $1,000 as
i . . .
the average annual salary or a govern
ment emp.uyee, ims wuuia metiu a
saving to tho taxpayers of $320,000,000
on tills item alone., or $3 per capita.
The revenue law enacted by Uie
Republicans reduced the tax bit lo
thf eocuntry by $818,000,000. and while
it is not perfect and will undoubtedly
be vastly Improved In the next year
or bo, It removed many burdens and
nulsunce.
"The reservo of the Federal Reserve
Bunks lias increased from a little more
than 40 per cent to over 77 per cent,"
says Senator Frelinghuysen, "and re
discounts rutes in the financial cen
ters have fallen from 7 per cent ts
i'4t per cent. Interest rates generally
fire doollnlm; and the banking system
of the country Is In a position to meet
the legit Imate needs of agriculture and
Industry."
