Board of Pilot Examiners Wants State to Purchase Schooner. dumper Crop in Southern Oregon Is Sure to Attract People. Salem.—In its annual report to the governor the state board of pilot examiners recommends the purcha- e and maintenance by the state of a pilot schooner. It is the only method by which the state can hope to exer cise any control over the pilots, and set down any rules governing pilot age at the mouth of the Columbia River, according to the commission^ It is set forth that the life of a pilot is hazardous, it involves risks and hardships that are not generally known to the public, and the board feels that the Columbia river pilots have been at times unjustly criticised. Assumption of responsibilities are greater also on the Columbia bar. ac cording to the board, than is gener ally realized. It is believed the serv» ice is as efficient as possible under present regulations. It is recommended that the legisla ture amend the present pilot laws, giving the commission authority to examine and license pilots, to revoke licenses for cause, to make rules and regu'ations for maintenance of ef i i nt pilot service and require all licensed pilots to report to and fur ni-h such information to the board as s' all be required, so that the commis sion m y lie fully informed of all mat ters relative to the service.

Jacksonville Post Star of Bengal Loses 110 of Crew and Kg Salmon Cargo. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, OREGON Seatt’e, Wash , Sept 23.—Advices last night from Alaska by the United States signal corps say that 110 men, .»eluding nine whites, were drowned n the wreck of the American bark Star of Bengal, on Coronation island, .vest of the Prince of Wales archi pelago. Twenty-seven of the vessel’s crew ind passengers were saved. The Star if Bengal belonged to the Alaska Packers’ association, and was on her vay to San Francisco with a cargo of 54 000 cases of salmon. In addition to her crew she carried 100 Chinese and Japanese who were employed in the canneries of the company and taken aboard at Fort Wrangel. The Star of Bengal took ab. «arci cargo at Fort Wrangel, consisting of ■aimed salmon, and started down Summer strait in tow of the tugs Hattie Gage and Kayak. As the ves seis neared the open sea. where the sailing craft would have sea room to work off shore, t'c wind was stead ily freshening, blowing on shore. The ugs struggled valiantly to keep the- ship clear of the rocks, but the wind drove it down on the rocks lining the shore of Coronation island, w hich be at the mouth of Iphigenia bay, and to save themselves from destruction the steam vessels were forced to cast off the lines and head out to sea. The Star of Bengal went onto the rocks in such a position that the tugs could not get near enough to give any assistance, and 'the Gage headed for Fort Wrangel with news of the dis aster.
