ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 9 With the
arrival cn shore today of Erie Lincl
jnark, carpenter, and Joe Slenningv
quartermaster, 'nearly 60 hours after
the Rosecrans struck on Peacock Spit,
it was learned that 32 perished in the
disaster, now reckoned as one of the
worst in local marine history.
There were 36 men on board the ill-
fated Rosecrans. Only three remain!
to tell of the terrible experience The
body of Joe Cagna, who died after
being rescued, was lost at sea.
Just what big part the strong heart
of a seaman plays in disasters of the
sea; just how men will battle, not to
save themselves, but first to save
others, and the bitterness of the
struggle that follows when a trusted
craft goes to pieces in a furious gale,
and aid seems a forlorn hope, were
but bits of pathos brough out in the
stories by the two rescued men who
told with trembling voices and shat
tered nerves of the Rosecrans' fate
and he long fight against death that
followed.
When the men told how they kept
up life by encouraging each other, as
they clung to their perilous perch in
the fury of the gale and the frenzy
of the breakers, they brought tears
to the bystanders.
With the jump from the rigging to
the water as the last hope of being
rescued by the lifeboats, hope which
had long been gone returned but only
temporarily as in another half hour,
the rescued men found themselves
fighting the storm anew in the disab
led boat of their rescuers. It was on
ly when they were taken aboard the
lightship long after dark on Tuesday
night that hope which springs eter
nal resusitated the confidence of the
men. To the abiding glory of the
life saving crews of Point Adams and
Cape Dissappointment will be the
.stories ef the rescue as chronicled by
the rescued lien today.
Although the bar was breaking
clear across, the Port of Portland tug
Oneonta faced the breakers at an
early hour this morning and running
alongside the lightship about 8 o'clock
took the Point Adams life saving
crew and the two survivors, who had
been marooned on the light -vessel
since 6:45 Tuesday evening, aboard.

PENIO
II BILL HIT
BY WOMAN'S CLUB
PRINCIPLE IS FAVORED BUT
MEASURE IS DECLARED TO
BE UNFAIR
TYPHOID PATIENTS ARE GIVEN AID
Plan Urged to Take University and
Other Publis Institutions
f Out of Pol
itics T,he Women's Club at a meeting
in the Commercial Club parlors Thurs
day afternoon declined to indorse
the Widows' Pension Bill. It was an
nounced that the main object of the
measure was approved, but there is
too much discrimination in the draft
that will be submitted to the Legis
lature. The bill provides for aiding
children whose fathers are dead, but
makes no provision for aiding those
whose fathers have deserted them.
Members of the club declared that
this was not right.
Indorsement of a measure placing
the state university and other insti
tutions on a basis which would keep
them out of politics was given. The
meeting was called to order by Mrs.
David Caufield, president. Applicar.,
tions for membership by Mrs. John
Bradley, Mrs. H. F. Pfingsten and
Mrs. C. .A. Nash were referred to a
committee to report at next meeting.
At the last meeting in 1912 Mrs.
Duncan Shanks suggested that the
club make an effort to supply a nurse
to aid the poor suffering from typhoid
fever. The plan was to have - the
nurse go from house to house where
there were typhoid patients and give
suggestions as to how to care for
them. The motion was adopted and
the Willamette Pulp & Paper Com
pany donated $35 and the Oregon City
Lodge of Elks $25 to help pay the
nurse. It was found, however, that
there was need of the employment of
the nurse for only one week and the
money not expended was returned to
the donors. Several persons also con
tributed to the fund.
Mrs. J. W. Norris reported that Dr.
C. H. Meissner was the physician in
attendance upon a girl who was in a
serious condition' from typhoid fever
at the Oregon City Hospital. She an
nounced that the Lodge of Elks was
paying her hospital expenses and the
Willamette Pulp & Paper Company
the salary of a trained nurse.
The club indorsed the plan of the
University of Oregon to publish a
compendium of the laws of Oregon
relating to women and children.
Mrs. Caufield, chairman of the Red
Cross Seal Committee, announced
that the total receipts this year were
$7C55. A -vote of thanks was extend
ed to the press, persons who purchas
ed seals, the merchants and young
women who assisted in selling seals.
Mrs. Anna Downey, of Willamette,
who had charge of the literary pro
gram, . read an excellent paper on
"Women in Politics."
The next meeting of the club will
be held January 23, which is known
as "Red Letter Day" to the federa
tion of clubs.
SHAW'S SALARY AS
CHIEF IS HELD UP
Circuit Judge Eakin Thursday
granted a temporary restraining or
der against M. D. Latourette, city
treasurer, cashing the checks of E.
L. Shaw, for salary as chief of po
lice during the administration of
Mayor Dimick. At a hearing several
days ago the court declined to grant
the order, but since then B. N. Hicks,
representing Mayor Dimick, has in
cluded in his complaint as defendant,
Oregon City. The case will be heard
upon it3 merits in a few days. Shaw
as custodian of the city jail will de
mand that the warants be paid. That
office was created by the city council
and he appointed to i, when it be
came a question of doubt as to wheth

EMTE
ROAD LEGISLATION
FAVORED BY
ALL
LEGISLATORS DIFFER, BUT THERE
ARE EVIDENCES THEY WILL
GET TOGETHER
CAUTION IS ADVISED BY
Representative Gill Probably will In-
troduce More Bills at coming
Session than any Other -
Member
That road legislation will be the
most important subject to be consid
esecTat the coming session of the leg
islature is assured, and the views of
the representatives in that body,
from this county are. consequently
pertinent. W,. A. Dimick, State Sen
tor, has expressed himself as follows:
The Legislature must be very
careful as to the kind of legislation
it passes along this line, especially
in the establishment of a board or
commission to supervise the construc
tion of roads. , . .
"AH legislation of this kind should
be brought nearer to the people for
the Legislature wants the people to
cooperate with it. The road machin
ery men and automobile clubs can
not expect to jam through the Legis
lature a road programme similar to
the one put up at tne last session, re
gardless of the electorate of Oregon.
The men back of this legislation -must
recognize the other . factions. The
Grange and the farming community
must be recognized more than these
men have been willing to consider
them up to date.
"I believe that by the different in
terests getting together aqi each side
recognizing tne rights of the other a
little more than has been done in the
eacoinn o nrl i Ioa rha a a rrna mitAm a
tnat tne initiative road bills met.
"So far as the good roads question
is concerned," says C. Schuebel, - "I
supported and favored the Grange
bill, but as I understand it, a bill is
to be introduced at the ' coming ses
sion providing that each road district
shall have charge of its own road
funds, to be organized along the same
lines aa school districts, and be au
thorized to issue bonds for road im
provement. Such a bill would meet
with my hearty approval."
Perhaps the most lengthy program
of legislation that any member of the
coming Legislature 'proposes to int
roduce if that of F. M. Gill, of this
county. Here are some of the bills
that Mr. Gill will launch or assist on
their journey toward the statute
books:
A bill to provide that registration
shall be permanent while a voter re
mains in the same precinct, which is'
calculated to do away with much of
the swearing-in Of voters at the polls;
Sinnott's grain sack bill, which Mr.
Gill will introduce; a bill to stand
ardize the weight of a sack' of pota
toes; a bill to prohibit hunting game
birds with dogs; a bill to require
hunters to have permits from own
ers of premises on which they hunt;
a bill to provide that a person may
fish or hunt in the precinct where he
resides without a license; a bill to
provide for seconds-choice voting in
primary elections; a bill to provide
that the common name of initiative
and referendum bills be placed on the
ballot together with the name of the
author of the measure; a bill to pro
vide for proportional representation;
a bill toprovide that all political par
ties casting more than 5 per cent of
the vote shall participate in the pri
mary; a bill to provide that sample
ballots shall be mailed to voters 10
days before election; a bill to pro
vide tor the purity of clover seed
and of seed grain; a bill to raise the
marriageable age of females with nar-
ental consent from 15 to 18 years; a
bill providing that road districts
shall have a government similar to
a school district, with corporate now
K p , 7 y ,
ers, a board of directors, clerk and
road foreman, and full charge of all
taxes raised in the district by dis
trict or county levies for road purpos
es; the Grange gross earnings tax
bill.
"I may not introduce all these bills"
said Representative Gill "but I shall
endeavor to secure their enactment.
He favors the Clackamas County
road program agreed to at Oregon
City by E. E. Brodie, B. T. McBain,
Mortimer Latourette, C. E. Spence,
W. A. Dimick and himself. Accord
ing to this program a state tax of
one-tenth t0 one-twentieth of a mill is
to be distributed to those road dis
tricts that vote special taxes in the
proportion that taxes s0 voted bear
to the whole - of the state tax. Thus
a district voting $500 of special tax
in a year when the total of such taxes
is $700,000, would receive one one
hundred and fortieth of the amount
raised by the state at one-tenth of a
mill, $90,000, or $635.71.
The Clackamas County program al
so demands a license of 50 cents a
horsepower on automobiles to be us
ed on trunk line roads; a bill to make
operative the convict labor bills adopt
ed November 5; the road district bill,
making road districts municipal cor
porations with corporate powers.
Jail Is Crowded with Hoboes.
The Oregon City police force was
kept busy Wednesday evening, when
11 hoboes were placed in the city jail
for the night.' All were released the
next morning and ordered to leave
the city. Peter Hansen was arrested
and jailed on . a charge of being in
toxicated. . ,

The Clackamas County Automobile
Club at a well attended meeting
Thursday adopted a resolution intro

amend the automobile law to provide
that the money raised from the licen-;
sing of motor vehicles, amounting to
about $05,000 per annum, be expend

the expenses of administration be

ing for its object the betterment of
highway conditions and a programme
that would have, as far as possible,
tne united support of the members ot
the local automobile club,. Early in
the session the club adopted a resolu
tion recommending an annual license
of 50 cents per horse power and an
equitable license on all vehicles, oth
er than motor driven, the money to De
expended under the direction of the
State Engineer. When it was point
ed out by Mr. Spence that in Clack
amas County the owners of wagons
and carriages on the farms would
probably pay a greater amount of li
cense fees than automobile owners
and that the farmers would object to
the limiting of the expenditure of the
fund on trunk roads, as provided in
the resolution, the vote was reconsid
ered, and the matter dropped.
H. E. Cross condemned the present
system of road construction, declar
ing it is wasteful. He said since the
present cash road system was plac
ed in operation $",000,000 had been
spent on Clackamas County roads and
much of the money wasted.
The automobile club served an ap
petizing luncheon at noon.

DEL ROSA, Cal., Jan. 6. (Editor
of the Enterprise) Will you allow
space in your paper for a few re
marks from an Oregon City woman,
who came to California "The land of
sunshine and flowers" to escape the
Oregon winter?
They have the sunshine all right,
but most of the time we can not See
the sun for the dust and if I vant
flowers I will have to go back to Ore
gon. I have not seen as many flow
ers or as much green grass in the
whole of California as I can see in
one block in Oregon City.
I have found a section of "windy
Kansas" planted here in the San
Bernardino Valley sixty miles east of
Los Angeles, and it is doing honor to
that famous state. The wind is blow
ing a hurricane and has been for sev
eral days. It is. now past noon and
the water pipes are frozen solid. I
am in one of the most comfortable
houses in the valley and have my
bath robe on over my dress and am
sitting by a hot stove, and yet I am
not comfortable. Give me Oregon and
the "Oregon mist.' This is a very
healthy country, people never die
here. They live to be very old and
then they are supposed to dry up and
blow away. I am in the home of a
Methodist minister. He has been in
this field three years and four months
and says he has never had a funeral
and no one else has had one in bis
territory, (no other denomination.)
There is an immense crop of oran
ges and the people are asking for
seasons of special prayer for the sav
ing of the oranges from frost. I am
certainly disappointed in California,
It may be warm here in the summer
but well Take me back to Oregon.
