Site began to fill at once, but we hoisted a sail and got her outside, where we anchored. A steam pipe broke, and this left the vessel helpless. , We could not keep out the water with the pumps, so we threw overboard" a large quoi.tity of oil and coal. Then we knew she was sinking, and took, to the boats. -I followed the captain's boat, but when I saw slid was headed for the shore I took to the open sea and drifted till we were picked up by the Oshkosh. . We had lost on -man. Martin Olson, who. was washed off by a heavy sea while we were getting off the bar." E. Salmoni-on. one of the crew of the Argo. n ils about the same story of the wreck. "We came in over the bar In the South Channel and the Argo struck about half ebb tide. The current running out from the bay was so strong we could hardly buck it. She struck several times and when a pteampipe burst we lost control of her. Tlie k-el and a number of planka were wrenched off. which let In the water rapiuiy. Crew and passengers all set , to work balling her out. but even witn the deckload lightened two hours aftir she struck she had four feet , of water iiv her engine-room. "There was no excitement on board, and everybody kept cool. At the time the boats put off there was five feet of water in t.er. ' The boats were about a mi! from- her when she tipped and linally sank. This was about quarter past 9. "'After we we're picked up by the Osiikotji'at midnight we cruised around tip and down the coast looking for the captain' boat, but could see no trace of it.-'- All accounts of the wreck unite In blaming tiie poor condition of tlie life boat at the Uaribaldi station for any loss of life.

When pass inc the Columbia River lightship he was signalled to come in close, but the heavy sea prevented 1 him from golnc close enough to hear what was said.

Congressman Mann, chairman of the special commit tee on wood pulp and print paper of the last Congress, who prepared the pro visions on these items, as first reported to the House by the Payne tariff bill, but who was overruiea ny toons' final passage of the tariff law. took the position today that the country may well be alarmed at the danger of a tariff war with Canada growing out of tne tana. wood pulp and print paper, under tne Payne act. 1 Mr. Mann will Introduce in wns'"" several bills and Joint resolution nhiect. One measure joint resolution to postpone the PP"c tion of maximum tariff from April I next to January 1. 19H- J0"'"hS- ',:; that the maximum tariff of the United States shall be held not to apply to wood pulp and print paper Imported from Can ada.

" Mr Mann says that under the rules of the House If the ways and means com mittee declines to report upon his prop osition. - ha can bring thera before the House at any time by motion to take then away from the committee on ways and means and refer them to hla own committee. ' in the last Congress, when the ways and means committee Was endeavoring to smother the bill introduced by Mr. Mann to prevent the importation of moking opium, he sent a nonce io , member of the House that on a cerU. n morning he would move to take the bill from the ways and means committee and refer it to a friendly committee. The re sult was a passage at arms between Mann and Payne, of the ways and means committee on the floor of the House, but Payne was compelled to report Manns opium bill and it became a law.

While reclining In a chair In James Grecco'a barber shop at 558 West One Hundred and Eighty-first street, a customer found himself gating dreamingly into a mirror which reflected clearly the view of a rear window overlooking a stone-flagged court. Just then the mirrored window was darkened for an instant. The cus tomer leaped out of the chair, shouting: "A woman dropped past that window." There had been no sound and Grecco thought hia customer was craxy. The man appeared almost overcome with the shock, so Grecco's son was sent to the court to investigate. He returned a few minutes later, completely unnerved. There-s a woman lying on tne nag ging," he said. The body was Idenuiiea as mat oi airs. Caroline Gazil. She had been ill and de spondent.

' Strong Digestion and The Dyspepsia of Old Age variably Mean a Long and Healthy Lite. There- Is a process known as jneta bollitm going on constantly In th. body, and by which the tissues are built up. and after having served their purpose in the physical economy, are torn down and cast off. So long as the due relation between waste and supply is maintained, nutri tion, and the various functions of the body are continued. But after middle life and in old age there comes a time when waste exceeds supply, and when the various elements which constitute the different fluids, tissues and organs no longer hold their due proportion, and the principle of life Itself becomes enfeebled, the body no longer having power to assimilate new material as it once did. As-old age creeps on, all the functions gradually fail, especially those of diges tion, absorption and assimilation, and the system being deprived of its full quota of nutriment, slowly wears out. If the nutritive and digestive processes of old people could be maintained un impaired, life could be prolonged al most indefinitely. There are many old persons iri whose stomachs the gastric function is almost entirely suspended. When this trouble occurs, the problem Is, how to digest the food and get along without the natural stomach juices. There is but one way to overcome the effects of this condition, and that is to supply artifi cially to tho stomach a powerful dlges Uv. substano. to tak. th. plae. of th. 1 -n A.' .SJMPSON, riftfSJZK. . ITER ADOS VALUE Reclamation Has Added Wealth $15,000,000. to 768,000 ACRES IRRIGATED AVork of Government in -Advance of Settlers' Demands, for 343,000 Reclaimed, Acres Have Not Been Taken. tTp. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Nov. 27. Fifteen millions of jnii.r. nH iinwards have been added to the wealth of the West through the nrdncts of the soil on Reclamation Service works. This does not take into .n,mt of course, the enormous lucre m,r tn land values which has been .lii-Aoi result of reclamation. The year 1909 is really the first In which notable returns have been made. Tr i now seven years since the reclama tion act was passed. During this in terval surveys and examinations have been carried on throughout the western ial of the United states, uarge proj ects have been laid out and the most important structures have been built to a point where 768,000 acres have been supplied with water or urouBm i condition where settlers, by proper ap plication to the Land Office, can imme diately take tne water to uitu neius,. Irrigated Farms for Sale. Tho work Is much In advance of the needs of the people, for out of this 768, 000 acres applications for water rights have been received for only 425.000 acres, leaving S43.0UO with water ready for the plow. The great problem, therefore, is no longer that of engineer ing, but how to put this land Into the hands of the men who will Immediately utilize It for crop production. The ap proximate Investment in this 343,000 acres, which Is now standing idle, is a little over $10,000,000. so that In one i sense these $10,000,000 are locked up until the farmer makes application tor the water and returns to the Govern ment his proportionate share of the an Adequate Nutrition In- Juices which It fails to secrete' naturally. For this purpose there is nniniug superior to siuakts st-croi.-v TABLETS known to medical science, as they supply the deficiency, and are sucli a reliable ajid thoroughly efficient sub stitute for the natural gastric Juices, that if two or three are taken after each meal, the food will be digested In so complete a manner, that the natural digestive fluids will, never be missed. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be used by all old and middle-aged per sons. In order to prevent or cure the dyspepsia of old age. Through their use complete digestion of the food is assured, with a consequent Increased nutrition of the body, and a. staving off of the sensibility and decrepitude of old age. This remedy Is, however, not only good for the Indigestion incidental to advanced life, but is also applicable to the dyspepsia and stomach troubles of any age, from, youth up. Secure a package of this famous dys pepsia remedy from your druggist for 60c and if you find that as you get older, your digestion and assimilation become weaker, this remedy will as sist the stomach in the performance of its functions, so that the general sys tem will not suffer from . the delin quency of the digestive organs.
