SIUSLAW
FLORENCE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MAY G, 1914
RHODODENDRON FESTIVAL TO
i
BE ELABORATE AFFAIR
NUMBER 14
In spite of telegrams sent to outside papers and
' rumors that the Hugh Hogan would be a total lois, and
that those on board weredn danger of living drowned,
the schooner is now at the Tlfle W ater. Mill - Cwnpanv’a
dock and no lives have been lost.
’
j-
\\ hile it looked as though thè schooner might have
been driven to a position on the beach where it would
have been impossible to pull off, at no time were those
on board thought to be facing death.
The life saving crews came from the Yaquina and
Umpqua to be present if conditions developed that would
endanger life, and to carry lines to the schooner.
Reports printed in the Oregonian and Coos Bay papers,
dated at Florence, must have been written by some one
greatly excited, or without knowledge of what had
happened, and they will create an impression that the
Siuslaw bar is very dangerous and strewn with wrecks.
Making a sensational write-up at the expense of a
community is costly, and it is to be regretted that in
this case such articles were sent out for publication.
A rumor that the schooner was ordered Out by the
mill owners was also given considerable publicity, but
was absolutely false and untrue.
— The editor of this paper was oh ' thè launch ‘ which '
took Mr. Johnspn Porter to the mouth of the nver in
response to a message that the Hugh Hogan was in dis
tress, and Mr. Porter, was heard to remark. “ I trust
in Capt Jones’ judgement, and I am confident he would
not have attempted to cross the bar, unless conditions
were favorable. ”
Rumors that affect the character or business interest
of people are nothing but scandal, and are nothing else
when printed.
