TWO KILLED AS
BOAT HITS ROCK
Steamship Spokane is Lost on
Alaskan Shore.
Passenger Totaling 158 Pass Night
en Stony Reefs Art Rescued
and Sent to Seattle.
Victoria, B. C Two women pas
sengers died of shock when the ex
cursion steamship Spokane, which for
years has been osed only for carry
ing tourists to the glaciers and towns
of Southeastern Alaska, and which
was fitted up for this service and
was laid up except during the sum
mer, struck a rock In Seymour Nar
rows, B. C, and was beached In
Plumper Bay to prevent her sinking
in deep water.
The women who lost their' lives
were Mrs. G. P. Williams, of Wash
ington. D. C, and Mrs. J. E. Strauss,
.of Philadelphia. Their bodies have
been placed on a steamship bound
for Seattle: At first the women were
reported missing, and It was feared
they had been drowned. A search
of the steamship was made and their
bodies were found In their cabine,
where. It Is supposed, they died of
fright.
All the passengers except these
two were landed in the small boats.
The passengers passed a night and
day on the rocky shore, camping,
and were taken off by the steamship
Admiral Sampson and conveyed to
Seattle.
Conflicting accounts of the cause
of the women's death have been re
ceived In the brief wireless dis
patches sent by the steamships Ad
miral Sampson, Prince George and
City of Seattle that hurried to the
assistance of the distressed steam
ship. One message asserted that the
women died of fright in their state
rooms, where the bodies were found.
A private dispatch said that they
were drowned.
Mrs. Williams was accompanied by
her husband and two daughters, all
of whom escaped uninjured.
At latest advices the Spokane lay
with hurricane deck awash. The
boat was valued at $400,000, and was
the finest ship on the Alaska run.
The scene of the wreck was near
the place where the steamship Cot
tage City foundered on January 11,
last. The Cottage City was a total
loss, but all hands were saved.
Plumper Bay is 125 miles north of
Vancouver.

strait two miles long and only 3H

Constant Turmoil.
Los Angeles Following an
out-1
break precipitated last week when
Rose Driscoll, recently committed to
the school from San Granclsco, at
tempted to escape, seven girls, in
mates of the Whittler State School,
were brought to Log Angeles and
locked up In the county jail. The
Drlscoll girl, said to be one of the
most incorrible ever committed to
the Institution, broke from the school
but was captured by Xightwatchman
Bartley.
When she was returned the other
girls made a demonstration, assert
ing that the oflicer had been unne
cessarily rough in handling her, and
they aroused the neighborhood with
outcries which continued until long
past midnight. Windows were smash
ed, all the dishes were broken, and
the kitchen range was reduced to
scrap Iron. The girls several times
rushed the gates in a body In at
tempts to escape. Bartley entered
his resignation.
The girls made no attempt to
harm attaches of the reformatory,
but several hatchets and knives with
which they had armed themselves
have not been recovered.
Pickle Tub Yields Opium.
Ran Francisco False bottoms of
the pickle tubs in the Nippon Mam's
steerage pantry, on which smugglers
had rested their hopes of escaping
the vigilance of the Customs In
spectors, yielded 109 tins of smokine
opium. Another seizure of 32 tins
was made by the Inspectors in the
bilge of the engine-rooi.i of the liner,
which arrived from the Orient. To
escape the penalties now Imposed
on the masters of vessels which are
caught carrying undeclared goods,
Captain W. E. Filmer made a search
on his own account during the voy
age from Honolulu.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
CONVICTS TO BUILD ROAD.
Governor West Plans Route From
Portland to Salem,
Governor West's proposal to we
convicts in building a model highway
between Portland and Salem has
aroused Interest and approval among
business meti, good roads enthusiasts
and the people who live along the
proposed line of construction.
Not only would the road shorten
the length of travel between Port
land and the capital. It Is said, but
a long desired Ideal of connecting
Oregon's metropolis and the Willam
ette valley with roads easily traver
sable would be realized.
Two routes are open. One leads
through the country on the east side
of the Willamette through Oregon
City and Is shorter than the second
route on the west side of the Wil
lamette passing through Newberg
and Dayton and Including the 12 mile
stretch between Rex and Tlgardvllle.
That convicts build good roads Is
demonstrated by the stability of high
ways In other states where they have
been put to work. The value of the
mad in shown by the Increase In
the value of the land through which
It is built. In southern Marion coun
ty, for instance, the prune growers
got together and taxed themselves to
build rock highways. They did this
when they found that they would be
steadily losing at their business with
out roads over which they might
haul their crops to distributing cen
ters. The increase per acre in the
prune belt was from $25 to $0; the
cost averaged about $2 an acre. The
prune growers find that building and
maintaining good road Is exceeding
ly profitable. It Is said the convict
built road which Governor West pro
poses would be even more profitable.
and the construction might be made
to include both sides of the river.
WIDE FIELD BENEFITED.
Showers Have Been General Through
out Pacific Northwest
Soaking rains that fell throughout
Oregon and the Northwest the first
of the week have been of Immense
value to farmers, according to re
ports from Oregon and Washington
towns. Coming on the heels of one
of the longest dry periods known In
the state, when In some districts
the crop outlook was approaching
zero, the jubilation of farmers Is
marked. While grain generally Is
pretty well along, they say the rains
wil have a tendency to fill out the
crop, and that the quality will be
greatly Improved.
In twelve hours a little over half
an inch of rain fell, making a total
precipitation of 35.5R Inches since
September 1, 8.22 Inches under nor
mal. The indications are that show
ers will continue In the eastern part
of the state the showers being more
general over the Willamette benefit
ing practically the entire state.
The rain extends over Eastern
Washington and Northern Idaho,
where .2 i of an Inch fell. Lincoln
county. Washington. Is assured a
IS.onn.oon-hiishel crop as a result of
the showers.
UNITED WORK PLAN.
Three Organizations to Labor for

League has determined positively
what action it will take In helping
the association to advance the good

The legislative committee of the
State Orange will be asked to meet
the directors at an early date to
discuss proposed laws covering the
road question. C. E. S pence, of Ore

of fish on ii Lilt have been small, and
as a result the cannery pack Is

Only fish weighing .10 pounds or

storage plants, as the packers are
not anxious, owing to the condition
of the market, to secure a big cold

full power to sign the treaty and the
Administration so far has failed to

It is said that, not withstanding an
impression to the contrary, the treaty
conserves to the utmost the consti
tutional powers of the Senate In
treaty-making and that every ques
tion to be submitted to arbitration
must first receive the approval of the
Senate. But It Is pointed out that
the very negotiation of the treaty
will almost certainly have tne effi-ct
of lessening the number of Issues to
be arbitrated.
This Is explained by the fart that
through the creation of a commission
of Inquiry, comtmsed of disinterested
members of The Hague Tribunal,
most of the Issues that may arise i
between the two governments can be
settled satisfactorily by the adoption
of the findings of that commission
and without the necessity of pro
