SPOILERS OF SANTA
ADD
Wreck Set on Fire to Make it Easier to
Up And Prosecutions May Follow
Unknown persons fired the Santa
Clara last night. Four men working
the boat saw them apply the torch,
and it is said nre willing to identify
the arsonists. The fire burned all
night and this morning the heat ex
ploded one of the tanks of oil, throw
ing the flames 200 feet in the air. It
is said the upper decks are destroyed
but the cargo in thp hohl is uninjured
It is not believed that machinery is in
jured as most of that was below the
water line, Those who were engaged
in salving the vessel are greatly in
censed at this act and are loud in con
demning those responsible. No ar
rests have as yet been made but it is
believed a full investigation will fol
low. ..The Santa Clara is still in the same
position and little worse for the beat
ing surf than she was a week ago
Tuesday when she was driven on the
sand at Bastendorf's beach, the open
sea harbor just south of the bar nnd
entrance to the harbor.
Merchants having large shipments
of goods on the Santa Clara urged the
North Pacific Steamship Co. to make
an effort t3 get them on", but this was
not done. Becoming desperate, a
fund was raised to hire men to light
cr the vessel and save as much of the
goods as possible. This resulted in
failure for tho mem were overcome by
hundreds of "pirates" who also en
gaged in the work of saving the goods
but for themselves. Finally after a
half day's work, the vessel was aban
doned and turned over to the public.
Probably the one factor which caus
ed the attempt to unload the vessel to
be a failure was the finding of numer
ous cases nnd casks of various brands
of liquor which was freely distributed
and in a few moments the major part
of the crowd were gloriously drunk
Since Friday, men with long ropes
have been taking goods off in any old
manner to get them
Usualy eight or ten men worked to
gether part of the gang would board
the vessel, the ropes to a quantity of
goods, then throw the bundle over
board and the remaining number of
that gang would gull the goods ashore
and care for same. Two or more were
stationed to stand guard, for if a bund
le or package was found unguarded it
was a cr.s of possession being nine
points of the law worked
Many people were there after sou
venirs and did not make an attempt
,to take off the more valuable freight
One had a big wrench which he used
to take olf the big whistle, another
took oir thecompass, the bell and so
on, which wejfeof little vulue to the
newly made owners.
Those who worked systematically
took off large amounts of valuable
goods. There were nearly 500 tons
of freight aboard, in which was ev
erything imaginable from flour to
automobiles.
The big oil tanks of the vessel were
sprung and thct bottom of the vessel
was practically filled with crude oil,
which not only ruined a large amount
of the freight but nuide the work of
pirating a slippery and disagreeable
job. Fully one-Half of the freight
was in the hold and below the line
raised by the flowing oil-
Some one started the idea of putting
a largo quantity of dynamite under the
bow of the boat :rt low water which
would bo sufficient force to open the
the ship nd permit pirating from the
outside. Dynamite was purchased
and a long "fuse" was attched, with
it was tim-ni at threo hours.
Most every ono get out of t o.way r.nd
as a result the old time and well train
ed pirates went to the bottom of he
hold and picked over he best- of the
freight, while others were awaiting
at a respectable distneo for the dynn-
mite explosion.
There was a shipment of over 200
sacks of parcel post aboard the vessel
most of which is entirely ruined. The
No h Bond p.irtioi of about 20 sacks
was on top and was the first to be re
moved but t'io extents of each sack,
uiiloss of metal were practically ruin
ed. Some of the clothing was saved
but all paper goods was completely
destroyed. The Marshfield shipment
suffered worse than did ours. This
was not only ruined by the water und
the oil, but hud started to deeny, am)
wan n tttiriblo fiul mnolJ'i.g iiwen uh
bundle after bundle was sorted mid mi
attempt mmh to ferret out .h mimes
or make Idontlfientioii.

Slide Causes Delay
The Portland Telegram of the -Uh
says: "That pesky slide in the Pann-
ma canal has played havoc with the
wholeslo grocers in this city, as well
as elsewhere along the Pacific coast.
Stocks which come from Now York,
are running low, and unless the
wholesalers bring supplies by rail
which means increased cost to them
tot he retailer and to the consumer
a real scarcity in eertnin lines is bound
to exist in the near future. When
the slides occurred most of the local
wholesaler had heavy shipments en
route here by water. The vessels ar
riving at the canal were delayed ow
ing to the slide. Some of them re
mained there a few days, others for
some weeks laboring under the belief
wie siiiie woum oe quicKiy cleared nnu
the canal reopened to traffic. Upon
learning it would probably be the fust
of the year before this task could be
accomplished, they started on the long
journey around the Horn, and will not
arrive for some time to come "
THE WRONG WAY
Of late is has become quite fashion
able to 'dispose of "various questions
by putting them up to the , voters,
through a supposed waiving of respon
sibility by legislative bodies. On
this theory the Anti-Saloonleague is
advocating tho plan to obtain rational
prohibition through an amendment to
the Federal Constitution. The league
is at pains to explain that members of
congress are not to l,e usKed to declare
themselves in favor of national pro
hibition, but they will be urged "to
vote to allow the people of the nation
by states, through their representa
tives to determine yds question in the
manner provided therefor y the'fra
mers of the constitution. Now this is
a false and vicious doctrine, and the
Unpopular Review is to be- commend
ed for its efforts in showintjup the
fallacy contained in. it. The essence
of the Anti-Saloon's argument is to
"Let the people deeide.".But the people
do not decide for or against a propos
ed amendment to. the Federal Consti
tution. Chosan representatives de
cide and it is as much the duty of Cou
gressto consider any 'question on its
merits as it is for any state legislature
to approach thes vubject in tho same
spirit. For Congress to shirk that
duty 'is a uowardly nnd wholly inde
fensible procedure. It is entirely
false to assert that the action of the
legislatures of three foir.th of the
sates in adopting tho proposed pro
hibition amendment would be the
voice of the pccplc inasmuch as tho
action of tho smallest state weighs
just as heavily in the equation as that
of, the largest. Wo nre not now defend
ing this system nor condemning it.
We simply point out that it was not
the design of the constitution that this
instrument should be umendmcd by a
popular vote but through tho action
of representative bodies. For that
reason it is of prime importance that
the bodies so concerned, both national
ind legislative should express genu
ine and conscientious judgment. To
urge any other course is both specious
and unpatriotic.
