LEWES, Del., Nov. 18. After
winning a race with death, 368 pas
sengers and crew who spent a har
rowing night at sea aboard the
blazing Clyde liner Lenape were
safely landed here at daybreak to
day and cared for by the towns
people. All persons aboard the ship,
which left New York yesterday for
Jacksonville, were safely account
ed for, except one.
Robert Leverton, of Holyoke,
Mass., whose body was picked up
by a fisherman late this morning.
More than a dozen persons were
injured and nine of them were tak
en to the Beebe hospital here.
Three or four others also were
treated and left. Those In the hos
pital were suffering from exposure
and bruises.
Two members of the crew were
burned about the feet and two
others of the crew suffered broken
ankles fighting the flames. They
are In a hospital here.
No Panic On Board.
According to passengers and
kiembers of the crew, there was
no undue excitement and the trans
fer of all hands from the burning
vessel to rescue ships was accom
plished as smoothly as circumstan
ces would permit.
There were many women and
children among the passengers and
some of them left the blazing ves
sel In the dark hours before dawn
scantily clad. Some were in only
their night clothing. All wore lire
preservers until they were landed.
Following the safe removal of all
passengers, the Lenape was scut
tled inside the Deleware break
waters, the Clyde line announced
today. Officials here estimated
the damage to cargo and vessel at
3.ooo.noo.

Every phase of agricultural pro
duction and marketing in the coun

two-day aession. Committees on
general horticulture, prunes, vege
table crops, poultry, dairying, live

game which started shortly before

for the year and the school will
immediately turn Ita athletic ac

Preceding the contest today the
athletic field was officially dedU
rased. Th field has been named
Vlulay Field, In honor of Dr. 11.
('. Kinlay, former coach and ath

name having been chosen by the
alumni and student body.
The field was officially pre

association. It was accepted by
Don Ferguson., president of .the
hlKh school student body.
Although Roseburg is not lim
ed to win today's game, the teuni
la expected to conclude tha sea
son with real fight. The high
school has been working under a
terrible handicap this year. Only
four men on the team had ever
seen a football game, while all are
very light. In tptte of- this fact
a fighting team has heen develop

An effort, originating In Port

Portland land office will be carried
Into congress at the coming- ses
sion, according to Information re
ceived here today. R. E. Smith,
president of tbe Lumbermen's Treat
Company bank of Portland, la lead
ing the movement to retain tbe
RMfeurK land office, and haa anted
the Mport of the Portland Cham-
bee of Commerce In this matter.
For several years the go re ra

of the Roseburg land of
tire -with tha Portland office, and .
It la understood that a bill will be
Introduced at the next seaalon to
consolidate the two at Portland. .
Owing to the fact that tha largest
part of the government owned land
in the state is In the southern sec

Robert Smith, who for many
years was a resident of Roseburg,
has taken a personal Interest In th.
matter, and Is starting a sentiment
in Portland against tha proposed
chance. He has written a letter to
the Chamber of Commerce of Port
land.' pointing out the fact that It
would be poor policy for the me
troiiolls to seek the change, owing
to the fact that It would be apt to
develop hard feelings.
In a personal letter to Roseburg
friends, Mr. Smith otters to aid In
any possible way In writing to con
gressmen and aenatnra or. In any
manner deemed advisable. ,
His letter to Mr. Dodson of the.
Portland chamber Is as follows: -

DtuirJKMl:
Ilafe Jus learned that the de
partment of the Interior has under
consideration the advisability of
consolidating the Portland and
Roseburg land offices. While 'I; of
ronree, appreciate that this more
j I . lint made by the Portland
nam oe r or i.ommerce or otner
Port land bodies, never-t he-less. If
ihe Roeeburg office was moved to
Portland, all of the southern Ore
gon towns from Junction City to
the California line would feel that
Ihe move had been made at the In--itfcntlon
of Portland people for tha
purpoHe of bringing a pay-roll and
other traffic to Portland which
proNr)y should belong tn southern'
Oregon, and consequently. III feel-
wntim nniinuoteuiy oe engen
derc.1 thereby.
' Inasmuch as 90'$ or 95' of the
government Isnds In western Ore
gon are situated In southern Ore
gon, -there Is a great deal of merit -In
keeping the land office at Its
present location. Although my In
terests In Roseburg are largely
sentimental because of my former
resilience there, nevertheless, I
lull In let the Roseburg and other
southern Oregon boys know that I
have not been contaminated by the
Portland virus to the extent of
working against southern Oregon
when all of the merit lies on their
" " -,",..
i'H. therefore, if you get any
'"r cnnies 10 your attention in any
rapacity, i want you to
watch your step and be careful to
throw your Influence on the right
nld The moving of the land office
to lortland means absolutely noth
ing to Portlsnd but means lot to
southern Oregon and from the
slandiMiInt of rooperatlon through-
jout the stale, I am sure some very
