Cold Snap Which Had
Withstood Many Years
V Momlflv Raw the cold Hpcll broken
And Jack Frost, wlio for a week hos
elasiicd th country in bis frigid cm
brorn, has lost bis Icy grip. Wanner
weather witli the prospect of mill is
the robability.
- The cold snap has been of the long
est duration of any known for many
years in tho Rogue River valley.
Though the thermometer only fell
low na 20 above, it fell to this register
,for several nights in 1 succession, with
i the result that water pipes throughout
' the city burst and tho plumbers r en pea
a harvest.
A1 p'pe. on tho city tank at the park,
whi,cli has withstood cold snaps for 15
( years, burst Sunday, aplit asunder its
entiie length. Tho water mains of the
' Crater Lake Lumber, company's box
; factory burst throughout 1 the plant,
flooding the floors cracking the en
: gine pump and doing dumage estimated
,! at 200.
"Piill a divnn nutnmnhitoR wnrn ln-
.jnrcd by tho freeze, the wnter .jackets
S boing burst through negligenco of own
.' era in not drawing off tho water.
Xll over tho city pumps and pipes
wore put out of commission for the first
time, but little serious damage resulted.
I ROOSEVELT WH.I KEEP
OUT OF OHIO SITUATION
WASHINGTON, "Dec. 21. President
. Roonevelt has declared in a positive
manner that thero ip absolutely no
truth in the stor ythat he has had any
disagreement with Judge Toft about
the candidncy of his; brother, Charles
: P.' Tnft, for senntor from Ohio. The
- president, it is learned from high
sources, states that the subject of tho
.Ohio seimtornhip has never been oven
remotely touched upon in conversations
t between himself and Taft, as he has
,!. no thought of in any mnnner intrrfer
; ing in the content in that state.
Tho While House has been annoyed
' by. reports of differences between the
president and Tnft, about the senator
ship. These have been further added
'. to by stories that tho prosidunt.deuie-s
that, there is any difference between
him and Judge Taft on this question,
and intimates thilt tho president was
possibly in accord with Judge Taft as
to his brother's candidncy. it is made
perfectly plain that the president does
not wish to be drawn into tho Ohio
senntorship fight, either by an expres
sion of opinion as to whether Onirics
T Tnft should or iihnuld not have en
tered 1 ho race, in view of his relations
with W. H. Tnft or as to whether Tnft
should or should not be elected senator
over the other candidates. , -r

Off Rio de Janeiro a dozen or more
allurs were lolling on the forecastle.
It was a still, clear night, and the full
moon uiade all nearly us light as day. -
"I seen more light one night," said
one with rings In bis ears.
"Oh, come. Philosopher Jack. la this
u alurter for one b' . your spooky
yarns V" i'
' '"i'bure's tu)WJ0yau. knows ao ni'ucb,"
thy plilloHopher retorted contemptuous
ly. ' "n a y' can't . .fell 'em notliln.
What's -this yere earth aliantJji to?
Can y tell me that?"
There was a alienee, deuotlug that
1!a ittfstlitii ivari above the uudlcnce.
PliIluKop!icr Jack continued:
"I'll Kpiu y" a yiiru us Is u yarn an'
if y' van ox plain It Vbeu git through'
III tv.rn y' over my grnjr an' duff for
Hit' rest o the cruise. Y don't know
ulmt the earth's hungln1 on to. an' y'
don't kmto vtvit becomes of us yvben
we 'go aloft.', i .".
"The ritpii V" the 'Clara' Keep frns'
the worst tyrant that ever walked a
quarter deck. We was lu lierlng seu
for seals an not gettlu' uny. This
made the cap'n wo'se'n ever. He did
nothlu" but cuss u from sunup till
miiKct um' durin the night, too. when
he was on deck. There was one u'
the men. Tom Iiluke, the cap'n seemed
to bate v.o se n tho, rest o' us, a leuu,
corpse-like looklu- feller with great
big eyes t hi C stared like the blinkers
o' a dead man. We couldn't make out
whether the cap'n bated Tom wo'bu
or was afraid o'. Mm wo'se. i Leasta
ways, Tom would look at the cap'n
out o' them great eyes o' hisn. an' the
cap'n would git Into a passion with
him nt oucet. .Hut I always noticed
that b trembled In bis rage. '. , v
"One day ' the cup'u ordered Tom
to go aloft. The mercury stood 20
degrees below zero, the ship was
H-rollln', and the spray was Uiuklu'
lee high upon the ratlines, even on to
the spars.
' 'I'm so cold.' said Tom, 'that I
couldn't git up there, an" if I did I
Couldn't bold ou f
.'"'You git up there.1 yelled the cap'n,
seizin' a belayin' pin, 'or I'll bmln yV
. "Tom went on to the ratlines, an'
when be got a little ways up he
looked down at tbe cap n, an be said,
says be:
"Tin goln' to my doom, but 1 tell
y t'up'n Tonikins. some day I'll git
even with y !
"He climbed ou up the ratlines art'
crawled out on to tbe yard, where the
capi had ordered him. A big wave
struck us, there was a cloud o Icy
up ray, an' when It cleared Tom was
uowheres.
"I cctildn't make out whether tho
cup'u was satisfied at glttin' rid o'
Tom Bluke or whether he felt In the
dumps about It Leastaways be didn't
cuss ui3 so much after t hat nn' was
kind o crlugln'-llke.
"After spemlln' a good while In
Bering sea we passed through the
straits. Oue tilght we was ben tin'
northward into the Arctic ocean. Our
latitude was soin'eres about 07 degrees
north, longitude 170 west, midway he
tweeu Point Hope and Cape Serdze.
Well, thnts the night I was referrln'
to a spell ago. I never seen such an
atmu-a In my life before. It was
a-flashln nn a-fllckerlu' an' n-flmterln'.
sometimes like a million o' little white
flags or straight searchlights shootln'
up to the sky. 'The cap'n wns on deck,
an' It seemed to kind o 'terrify him.
You see, nlthough It was so light, we
couldn't make out nothln'.
'I believe the devil's try In to
wreck us.' he said, an', coming down
off the poop deck, be went for'nrd nn'
stood ou the bowsprit so's be could see
better.
There seemed to be a white cloud
ubead. l.castnways It looked like a
cloud, but with the Aurora dancln'
about It wasn't always there. The
cap'n stared at it, try in to make it
put, I stood down on the fo'castle
look In' too. First thing either of us
k no wed we heard a grind, tho bowsprit
snapped, an' a lot o' Ice fell on the
dock. One chunk that must 'a' weigh
ed a ton struck the cap'n au knocked
him overboard.
"We didn't all of us hear It. Bill
O'Brien said he did, but Pete Gallo
way, who was standln1 near as any of
us, says he didn't."
'What, the lee comin aboard?
The Ice, no! Out o' the mlstv look-
In mass It wns an Iceberg we struck.
Heard as plain as 1 ever heard any
thing the voice o Tom Blake savin'
softllke: '
"Tin here, Cap'n Tnmkins"
The speaker paused Not ii w.rd
