Special to the -Evening Review.
WEDDERBURN, Or., Nov. 25
R. D. Hume, the millionaire salmon
king and former member of the Ore
gon legislature, died at his home here
today, after a long illnesB of Bright's
disease., He was 63 years of age.
MARSHFIELD, Or., Nov. 25. R.
D. Hume born at Augusta, Me., Oct.
31, 1845. - He came to Curry county
in 1876. Before settling in that
county he worked for his brother,
George Hume, in a cannery on- the
Sacramento river in California and
later built and conducted a cannery
on the Columbia river. He was twice
married. His first wife was Cecelia
A. Bryant, a relative of William Cul
len Bryan, the poet. His second wife
was Mary A. Duncan before her mar
riage. His only near relatives are
the wife and two nephews, one In
Seattle and the other at Weddorburn.
Mr. Hume occupied an unique po
sition in Oregon. He was known as
the "King of Rogue River," and In
reality lived un to the title given him.
When he first came, to the Const he
made the trip by way of Panama
and was not without money. His can
nery on Rogue River paid extensively
and he acquired great wealth. He
became the owner of over 6000 acres
of valuable Curry county land and
paid one-sixth of the taxes of the en
tire county. He prncticnllv control

led tho financial affairs of the local
ity. Mr. Hume first built a cannery at
Gold lleach. This was burned in
1893, and he built another and more
modern plant at Wedderburn. He
recently constructed a $35,000 cold
storage plant and owned and oper
ated the only private fish hatchery In
Oregon,
The Hume home at Wedderburn is
a spacious one, and besides this, Mr.
Hume has a $40,000 residence al
Piedmont, Calif. His personal In
terests, however, have been chlelly
in Curry county and he spent most of
his time there. Mr. Hume was a
staunch Republican and had always
been active in politics. His only grati
fication of political ambition, how
ever, was one term In the Oregon
State Legislature as Jbint Repre
sentative from Coos and Curry coun
ties. A great lover of turf sports, Mr.
Hume for years owned a fine string
of. running horses and annually con
ducted a race meeting at Wedder
burn, which was always largely at
tended by prominent horsemen. He
was always recognized as an author
ity on racing matters and never spar
ed his wealth in advancing legiti
mate racing.
Mr. Hume also owned a newspaper,
the Wedderburn Radium, and Is now
published as a weekly. It has been
said' of Mr. Hume that he held large
tracts of laud without developing or
opening them to settlement, but a
few months ago the salmon king of
fered to actual settlers tracts of land
with house, cattle and other live
stock to any good citizens who would
come to Curry county to live. A
number of persons took advantage of
the generous offer made by Mr.
Hume.
During recent months Mr. Hume
made frequent visits to Coos Bay.
He showed a spirit to enter into tin
general development work of South
ern Oregon and a short time ago at a
public meeting stated that he realized
that he was soon to step out of activi
lifo and desired to do all he could
to further the Interests of 'those who
would be benefitted by the growth ol
Oregon.

caught fire outside the harbor today
and was benched. It is believed that
at least 100 of the passengers lost
their lives. The Bteamer had just
cleared the harbor when flames burst
from her hold, followed by an ex

men and children, mauy of whom
leaped into the sea without life pre
servers. The crew was unable to
extinguish the flames, and the liner
Willi be a total loss. The majority ol
the dead are Greeks, while the re
malnder are Britishers.
Seventy-five . bodies have been
brought ashore and tugs are still
searching for others. Survivors tell
of most terrifying scenes aboard the
burning ship, following the explosion,

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.
To the list of equestrian statues for
which Washington already Is fnmou3,
another was added today when a
handsome statue of General "Phil"
Shoridan was unveiled and formally
presented to the city. The statue cost
$r0,000 and was modelled by Guston
Borglum of New York. It has been
placed In the center of Sheridan
circle, at the intersection of Massa
chusetts avenue und Twenty-third
streets. At the dedication today
President Roosevelt delivered an ad
dress and there was a considerable
military display. The event was at
tended by the widow and other mem
bers of General Sheridan's family.
President's Kulogy.
In his address, President Roose
velt Bpoke as follows:
"1 am glad to take part in the un
veiling of this statue to General
Sheridan. His name will always
stand high on the list of American
worthies. Not only was he a great
general, but he showed his greatness
with that touch of originality which
wo call genius. Indeed this quality
of brilliance has been In one sense a
disadvantage to his reputation, for
it has tended to overshadow his solid
ability. We tend to think of him
only as the dashing cavalry leader,
whereas lie Was in reality not only
Hint, but also a great commander. Of
course, the fact in his career most
.':ail:!y recognized was his mastery
in the necessarily modern art of
handling masses of modern cavalry
so as to give them the fullest pos
sible effect, not only In the ordinary
operations of cavalry which precede
ind follow a battle, but In the battlo
itself. But in addition he showed in
the civil war that ho was a first-class
army commander, both aa a subor
dinate of Grant and when in inde
pendent command. His record in the
Valley campaign, and again from
Five Forks to Appomattox, is one dif
ficult to parallel In military history.
After the close of the great war, in
a field where there was scant glory
to be won by the general In chief,
ho rendered a signal service which
has gone almost unnoticed; for in
the tedious weary Indian wars on the
(ireat Plains it was he who developed
in thorough-going fashion the system
of campaigning in winter, which, at
the cost o( bitter hardship and peril,
finally broke down the banded
strength of those formidable war
riors, the horse Indians.
"His career was typically Ameri
can, for from plain beginnings he
rose to the highest military position
in our land. We honor his memory
Itself, and moreover, as in the case
of the other great commanders of his
day, bis career symbolizes the careers
of all those men who in the years of
the nation s direst need sprang to the
front to risk everything. Including
life Itsetf. and to spend the days of
their strongest young manhood in
valorous conflict for an ideal."

Supreme Court Decides Posting

SALEM, Or., Nov. 24. On the
ground ihot the County court of
I Grant county did not comply with
the provisions of the local option
law of the state. In failing to give
notice of election on the question of
local option In several precincts of
the county In proper time, the bup-
reme court, in an opinion written by
Chief Justice Bean, declares the elec
tion by which Grant county went dry
by a very small majority Invalid.
The local option law requires tha
five notices be posted In each pre
clnct 12 days before election. In one
1 precinct no notices were posted; fn
another the notices were posted 1
days; fn another, only 10 days; while
in another only three nonces wer'
posted, and for only eight days. Th
opinion Hays that in a general elec
tion In which the date and place an
officers to be elected are provided h

not invalidate the election. WU thi
