Crew
MARSHFIELD, Or.n Nov. 1 Five
lives were lost on the Coos Bay bar
this morning, when tne little gasoline
schooner Osprey was wrecked and
when her captain, refusing to be the
only one of the crew saved, leaped
to death on-the jetty rocks.
Even the bodies probably will not
be recovered, and what littls is left
of the boat is being torn to splinters
at nearly the same point on the dan
gerous submerged jetty where, about
a year ago, the North Star No. 1 a
gasoline launch, was wrecked and six
lives lost.
Heroic attempts were made to savs
the men by the tug Roscoe, but with
out result. The lifesavers were out,
but were' unable to do anything, as
the sea was rolling high, and an air
ship flight was made over the bar by
Aviator Christofferson, of Portland,
in the hope of locating some of the
men, but they had met death so quick
ly and the waves of the bar had so
rapidly accomplished their work of
destruction that there was no chance
to do anything when the news of the
disaster reached this city.
The correct list of the dead follows:
Captain Gus Johnson, of Wedder
burn, master of the Osprey; Chester
Johnson, of Coquille, engineer of the
Osprey; Joe Peitscn, of AUterdeen,
seamon of the Osprey; Captain H.
Jacobson, formerly master of the
wrecked Berwick, passenger; Indian
Ned Harvey, of Wedderburn, pasen-ger.

Plan Is to Give Shippers Relief Fror
Heavy Tolls McCourt Prom
ises to Assist in
Work
SALEM, Or., Nov. 1. Representa
tive Hawley has taken up with Unit
ed States Attorney IvlcCourt, at Port
land, the matter of the speedy acqui
sition by the Government of the locks
at Oregon City. It seems to have
been the general impression that
since the Governed and the state
provided the funds for the purchase
of the existing locks and their repair,
there would be no further delay in
the passing of the title to the United
States.
Mr. Hawley found that persons us-
ing the locks were still subjected to
the usual tolls, and he set about to
determine the cause anu urge expe
dition in the transaction, so that ship
pers could have an open river. Mr.
McCourt advises Mr. Hawley that the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company recently submitted an ab
stract of the titles to the lands sought
to be acquired; by the Government,
but that upon examination of ab
stracts it was found dost of the land
embraced in tlie property had' been
included in platted townsites and the
plats tllereof had never been placed
on record.
As the descriptions in the convey
ances referred to the tracts by lots
within these townsites, it was impos
sible to determine whether the land
extended over the land covered by
the locks.
The United States Attorney return
ed the abstracts to the company with
the request that the "original plats be
secured or a survey made that would
definitely identify the property. The
company has complied with this re
quest but a number of defects are yet
supposed to exist, these being large
ly incurable. The company has had
exclusive possession of the property
for years so title under the statute of
limitations has probably vested, so
the War Department probably will ac
cept the titiles in spite of the defects.

Men' Favoring Henry George Plan Use

Great Britain are With
Them i
(By special cable from London, to
the Oregon Equal Single Tax League,
relaed from Portland.)
LONDON, Nov. 1. When Premier
Asquith, of England, learned for the
first time today that the single taxars
of Oregon had been representing that
his government, himself and Chancel
lor of the Excnequer, Lloyd George,
were in favor of single tax, .he was
exceedingly indignant
The Premier immediately had is
sued the following official statement
from his office at 10 Downing Street:
"Mr. Asquith stated in the house
of commons July 30 and in a speech
at Ladybank, October 5, thai the pol
icy of government does not include
single tax."
It is against the policy of the Pre
mier to give out interviews but his
private secretary furnished your cor
respondent with a copy of Mr. As
quith's speech at Ladybank in which
he said:
"Whatever the proposals of the gov
ernment may be they will not embrace
what is called the policy of single
tax, which to my knowledge has not
a single supporter in the present cab
inet, and which in my opinion and I
believe is the unanimous opinion of
my colleagates also, by singling out
for the purpose of bearing the whole
burden of taxation of the land to the
exclusion and relief of all other forms
of property is consistent neither with
justice nor with expediency:'
Your correspondent could not get
in touch with Mr. Lloyd George but
Mr. Asquith's statement that not one
of his colleagues favors the exclusive
land tax certainly covers him. George
Lambert, Member of Parliament, In
formed your correspondent, however,
that Mr. Lloyd George had given him
permission to say that the chancellor
was not in favor of single tax. Mem
bers of tha cabinet who, owing to
their official positions vfere unable to
declare themselves on the policies of
another country, were mortified to
learn that Oregon single taxers had
chosen to lie . deliberately about their
attitude.
Republican Nominees, Including Dis
trict Attorney Tongue and Other
Prominent Speakers to Make
Addresses
Believing that they will be success-'
ful at the polls next Tuesday and en
couraggu by many offers of support
from various sections of the county
where the Democrats are strongest,
the Republican candidates have ar
ranged monster rally to be held in
this city tonight. The meeting will
be held in Woodmen Hall and the
largest crowd of the campaign is ex
pected to be in attendance. All the
candidates for county offices, includ
ing E. B. Tongue, condidate for re
election for district attorney, and oth
er prominent men probably will make
short addresses.
The candidates, besides Mr. Tongue,
who will speak are E. C. Hackett,
nominee for sheriff; J. F. Nelson, nom
inee for assessor; E. P. Dedman, nom
inee for recorder and Gustav Schnoerr,
T. M. Gill and C. Schuebel, candidates
for representative in the legislature.
The candidates conducted a big rally
in Milwaukie Friday evening. The
speakers were enthusiastically receiv
ed, and were assured that the city
and neighborhood would give a large
plurality for the national, state and
county tickets. The meeting was held
in Milwaukie Hall, and, despite a
woman suffrage, meeting in the thea
ter, the hall was crowded.
The meeting tonight at Woodman
Hall is expected to be the largest of
the campaign and all citizens are in
vited to attend. That the hall will be
crowded is Assured. George C. Brown
ell probably will be one of the speakers.
