BALLO O N
St. Louis, Ju n e 30.— W hipped help­
lessly to and fro by a 60-mile gale in
a dense, black storm cloud, 10,000
feet above the earth , John B erry and
M. A. H eitnann today were very near
death.
B erry, the w inner of th e In d ian ap ­
olis distance cup, and H eim ann, who is
seeking a balloon
p ilo t's
license,
ascended in the balloon Melba shortly
a fte r noon. They w ere carried Bwiftly
to an a ltitu d e of 10,000 fe e t into a
thund r storm . H ere th e fra il bag was
dashed about by a hurricane.
A t tim es the balloon lay on a level
w ith the b asket as the w icker was
pitched high up by th e wind. The two
men, coatless and freezing, th rew out
all b allast, y et the balloon would not
ascend.
B erry clim bed a lo ft on the
frail cords and tied th e appendix, but
in spite o f th is th e bag telescoped and
the balloon came down as a parachute.
They landed safely.
D escribing his
experience, Berry Baid:
“ When we entered the storm cloud

phere w as so black we could scarcely
see the sw aying bag above us. The
feeling of being carried helplessly

application of the D eschutes Irrig a tio n

Wood made an exhaustive argum ent,
charging th a t the D eschutes Irrig atio n

place the land on the m a rk e t; th a t the
company is heavily burd ned w ith fi­

th a t $75 a day appropriated by the
term s of C hapter 89, laws of 1909, be
used for the operation and m aintenance
of the e n tire portage railw ay Bystem.
U nder a s tric t in terp re tatio n of the
act, the am ount would not be available
for anything but the construction of
the line from B ig Eddy to The D alles,
and the balance of the line w culdfiave
to q u it business for lack o f money
w ith which to operate.
The attorney
general, how ever, decided th a t it would
be safe to be guided by the evident
in te n t of the leg islatu re ra th e r than
by the s tric t w ording of the law.
Judge W. J . M arriner and L. A.

mission, are in Salem to consult w ith
the s ta te officials regarding the m at­

In all the circle of all your ac­
quaintances. In all the circle of all
yonr reading, do you know of a single
billionaire?
I don't mean—do you
think you know. I mean—do you know
th a t you know of a single capitalist
who Is really a billionaire? T hat is a
lot of money, you know, says Agnes C.
f.aut In Outing. At 4 per cent Inter­
est It m eans an income of three and a
th ird million dollars a month. Pm
not talking of capital th a t Is a qu arter
w ater and a q u arter hot a ir and only
half hard cash or convertible realty.
I'm talking of w ealth th a t can be
handled w ith your hands and measured
w ith your eyes, w ealth th a t doesn’t
require convulsions of frenzied finance
to be converted Into term s of the mint.
You acknowledge frankly you don't
really know of a single billionaire In
the history of the world. Much less do
you know of any group of capitalists In
th e world whose combined w ealth
would make tw enty billions and whose
tw enty billions pay a yearly dividend
of seven blllloiiB. A dividend of
$7,000,000,000 a year means an Income
of $580.000,000 a month, or $19,000,000
a day. T alk of the fate of M idas!
Any capitalist or group of capitalists
who had to take care of th a t much
money a day would have genuine con­
vulsions lu frenzied finance.
Such a capitalist, collectively. Is the
United States farm er. Such a divi­
dend, collectively, does the soil of the
United States yearly hand out to the
farm er-m an. By the last census the
capital invested in agriculture in the
United States was tw enty billions, and
by the last report of the agricultural
departm ent the products of the farm
for 1007 yielded a grand total of seven
billions. Com pare these figures to the
billion-dollar steel tru st, over which
the whole world went daffy a few years
ago; and the m agnitude of the great­
ness— and of the growing greatness—
of agricultural Interests in America be­
comes apparent. In fact, it would be
hard to put your hand on a single de­
partm ent of industrial life, or construc­
tive work in the United States, which
would com paie In im portance to the
perm anent value and yearly yields of
the farm . Then remember, too, th a t
of all the m anufacturing Interests in
the United Slates 75, per cent are de­
pendent on the farm for raw products,
