Men Aboard Steamship Dora Report
That All Life On Island Has
Been Extinguished Ship
Forced To Flee
SEWARD, Alaska, June 8. Four
volcanoes in the Aleutian Mountain
range have burst into activity and are
throwing out great quantities of,
smoke and hot ashes. The awakened
peaks are Iliama, St. Augustine, Re
doubt in the Cook Inlet country and
Katmai, which overlooks Shelikoff
Strait. Numerous shocks were exper
ienced here today and the sun was al
most obscured by vapor coming from
the west.
Land and sea for miles in every di
rection from the mountains in erup
tion are covered with ashes. Lava
and rock are pouring forth and devast
ating all in their path.
That all life on .Kadiak Island and
the mainland has perished in the fiery
rain belched forth is the belief of
those aboard the mail steamship Dora
plying to points along the Alaskan
peninsula and Kadiak Island
The Dora's master says that 1500
persons engaged in the salmon can
ning business may be dead', as it is
the height of the cannery season and
large crews are employed. The Dora
arrived at Seldovia yesterday.
Mount Katmai's outbreak was de
scribed by the crew of the Dora as
terrible in its violence Deafening sub
terreanean explosions, they said, are
occurring at short intervals and the
hail of hot ashes and monster bould
ers has covered the earth four feet
deep
The sea- in the neighborhood of
Mount Katmai, they reported, was
lashed into foam by the plunging of
red-hot missiles hurled from Katmai's
throat into the sea. The vessel was
struck by a number of small boulders
and its deck was blanked a foot and
a half in ashes.
Shelikoff Strait, from where the
Dora fled, resembled a monster steam
ing cauldron. Smoke fronr the blaz
ing mountain obscured the sky for
hundreds of miles and the day was
as night. So dense was the smoke
the Dora's captain was obliged to
Bteer a course 50 miles from her usual
route in order to pass Kadiak Island.
The wave indications in Shelikoff
Strait were such that the Dora's mas
ter did. not atempt any landings, fear
ing that here had been a general shift
ing of the ocean bottom near shore,

CHICAGO
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT EX-PRES-"
IDENT WILL ATTEND BIG
CONVENTION
FLINN WON'T START 'ROUGH HOUSE'
McKinley.Director Of Taft Bureau, De
nounces Roosevelt For Com
ments On Alabama
Contests
CHICAGO, June 8. That Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt in person is com
ing here to direct his fight for con
testing delegations before the Repub
lican national committee was the flat
announcemnt here today of William
Flinn, a state senator of Pittsburg,
leader of the progressive Republican
element of western Pennsylvania.
Flinn is hot over a report that he him
self planned a "popular demonstra
tion" to impress the National commit
tee wit a the fairness of the Roosevelt
claims. .
"It's all a damn lie" was Flinn's an
swer to a request for verification of
the report
The Pennsylvanian asserted that
Roosevelt was coming here but he
could not say when, adding:
"The committee already is under
suspicion. I feel certain that it is
plotting to deprive the people of their
rights. The colonel is coming to
show the people that he is still their
friend and representative.
"Roosevelt is going to be the nomi
nee of the Republican party. Don't
make any mistake about that. In ord
er to evade the issue, some of Taft's
machine leaders say I am here to im
press mob rule over the committee.
This is such a foolish statement that
it would not merit an answer, only
behind it rests the entire campaign
of evasion and misrepresentation
which the Taft people have put be
fore the public since they started out
to try to steal the national conven
tion." William B. McKinley, director of
the national Taft bureau, this after
noon denounced Roosevelt for the col
onel's comments at Oyster Bay this
afternoon on the Alabama contests.
He said he understood that Roosevelt
had abandoned the idea of incorporat
ing in his platform the recall of judic
ial decisions, adding:
"Roosevelt would like to make a dra
matic entrance into (Chicago, enter the
convention hall amid the acclaim of
his followers, which would be music
in -his egotistic ears. Like Ajaz defy
ing the lightning, he has defied ffie
unanimous verdict of the Republican
national committee, including his 'own
friends.
"Roosevelt needs the stimulus, of
thousands behind him to arouse his
fighting blood, which is at the lowest
ebb when he stands alone. He would
invade the convention hall at the psy
chological moment, demand the floor
and attempt to sweep the convention
off its feet"
BIG TACONA LUMBER

TACOMA, Wash., June 8. Mill "A"
of tfce St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber

000. The fire was caused by a blaze
which started yesterday afternoon 150
feet away from one of the ,sheds.
Workmen thought they had put the

broke out anew, and before the entire
fire fighting force of the city could
come to the scene the covering for
about 30 acres was enveloped in
flames.
The St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber
company was started in 1888 by Ever
ett Griggs, -who died a year or so ago

the city. At the present time it em
ploys about i200 men. In boom times
it runs up many more.

Griggs, president; A. G. Foster, Har
rison G. Foster, vice-presidents; Char
les A. Foster, secretary-treasurer;

CHERBOURG, June 8. The French
submarine Vendemaire, while partici
pating in naval maneuvers here today,
collided with the battleship Saint Lou
is and instantly sank in 180 feet of
water. Twenty-four men $rere aboard
the suo-marine, and it is believed im
possible that they can escape. A res
cue ship was at once rushed to the
scene of the disaster. The minister of
marine declared the entire crew of
the vessel probably has perished.
The divers sent down to search for
the Vendemaire could not reach the
bottom. Experts say that submarine
currents are strong at the scene of
the disaster and that they probably
carried the vessel far from where she
sank. ' '
All hope of saving Lieutenant Pri-
oul, Ensign Audio and their crew of
22 men has been abandoned. The nav
al maneuvers have been called off.
If you saw it in the Enterprise it's
so.

Retire At End Of Term
Chances Are He Will
Not Be Opposed
George A. Harding, the eldest mem
ber in point of service of the Board
of Directors of the Oregon City
Schools, has decided to become a can
didate for another five-year term. Mr.
Harding had hoped that he might be
relieved of the duties, inasmuch as he
had served so long as a director, but
when scores of friends urged him to
again offer, he felt that it was his du
ty to the city to do so. Members of
all political parties have signed the
petition asking him to make the race,
and there is little probability that he
will have opposition. Mr. Harding is
the present chairman of the board,
and no man in Oregon City is as fa
miliar with school affairs as he. Since
his first election the schools have
been so improved that no city in the
state offers better opportunities in
educational lines than Oregon
City. The petition and Mr. Harding's
letter of acceptance follow;
To Geo. A. Harding:
We, your neighbors? townspeople
and fellow partisans for good school
government, believing in your fitness
and qualification, earnestly desire that
you become a candidate for Director
for the five-year term, of School Dist
rict No. 62, Clackamas County, Ore
gon, at the annual election to be held
June 17, 1912.

Gentlemen:
Your - kindly expression that I be

as Director of School District No. 62
has been presented to me and it gives
me a great deal of pleasure and sat
isfaction to know that my years of ser
vice in behalf of the taxpayers of the
Oregon City school district are appre
ciated to such an extent as is shown
by this petition signed by so many
citizens of Oregon City. '
I had contemplated declining anoth
er term as School Director, but it is
apparent that when so many of the
people of the District desire my re
election it would seem unappreciative
of their recognition to refuse to serve.
I have been a member of the Oregon
City school board longer than any
other man now a member of the

One of the most successful rose
shows ever given in Oregon City was
held Saturday. It was on a much

a large representation, iany of the
children being dressed to represent
Puritans, and several were dressed in
white wearing wreathes of - roses,
while many of the boys carried large
American flags. Maple Lane was rep
