AO ONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT Htraensc Hole Tora i& Steravrheel er' Hall Barely Time to Rna for Beach, Where She Sank Twen ty Passengers Were Aboard. TACOMA, Oct 28. The well-known sternwheel steamer Capital City, Cap tain Edwards, operating between Olym pla, Tacoma and . Seattle, and the small Canadian freighter Trader, Captain H. Parsens, which was en route fromSte veston,. B. C, to Tacoma with a cargo of canned dog-fish salmon for export on the steamship Tremont, collided about 6:30 this evening oft Dash Point, three-quarters of a mile past Brown's Point, towards Boblnson's Point.

An Immense hole was torn In the stern wheeler's hull, on tho port side. Just" abaft of the forward companlonway. She filled rapidly, and had barely time to run for the beach, where she sank. It was within a couple of hours of low tide when the mishap occurred, and the after top of the Capital City's house aft was barely out of water, her paddle-wheel entirely out of sight. Forward the main deck was clear. At high tide only the Texas was out of water. The Trader's stem was torn off and a hole gouged In her bow above the water line. She made port In safety. A court of inquiry will be necessary to determine blame for the accident. The captain of the Trader claims that he sig nalled twice to pass the Capital 31ty on the starboard side. The first whistle was not answered, but the second was re sponded to with the starboard signal. The next thing he knew the Capital City attempted to cross his bows. The cap tain of the Capital City says he did not see the Trader. The night was perfectly clear. SETIMEIVT IS DIVIDED. Tendency, Outside of Mining: Circles, to Favor Forest Reserve. BAKER CITY, Oct. 27. Specials Public sentiment is very much divided on the question of the proposed Blue Moun tain forest reserve. A great many citi zens treated the matter rather lightly until lately, when they discovered that it was very grave problem. The statement, of the Government offi cials is to the effect, that, after a careful examination, they found"" that the limited supply of timber demanded that some steps be taken to prevent the utter de struction of the forests, and the conse quent heavy loss to farmers, ranch owners and miners on account of the great scarcity of lumber that would be sure to follow .the reckless destruction of the forests. The-trend of sentiment seems-to be in favor of the reserve, outside of the min ing interests, and it is said that when the purpose of the Government In estab lishing the reserve shall be fully under tood there will bo a general inclination .to accept the avowed motive of the Gov ernment as stated by the experts, even by the mine owners and- operators.

Only a wife and mother can fully understand the grand benefit which Wine or Cardui is in cases of barrenness and pregnane. After fivo yeara of married life most of the time in ill health, with irregular, scanty and extremely painful menstruation I became completely discouraged. I kept getting worse and worse. The doctor said that if I could have a child I would be much better, but inflammation had set in and I was in such poor health generally that I was simply unfit to be a mother. My 'sister had a beautiful boy and she told me what benefit she had derived from Wine, of Cardui so my husband decided that wo would stop the doctor's visits and try Cardui. I wish I had only known of this before. What misery I would have been spared! But I was' grateful for the speedy relief I obtained, and so pleased to find that I gradually was re turning to health, happiness and new life and hope. Within four months I was like a changed being 'and now found that the long hoped for happi ness was to be mine as I expected a child. I kept taking Wine of Cardui all through my pregnancy and a lovely daughter blessed our Kome. Child birth was almost painless and my husbancfand I both thank you a thou sand times for the sunshine and happiness Wine of Cardui brought to our home. THE greatest ambition of men arid women is to have happy homes blessed with healthy chil dren. Because wites are weak and sick thousands of homes are barren and desolate. Hqw many there are today suffering irregularities "and bearing down pains, menaced with the probability of becoming childless wives. Thousands of heretofore childless wives are becoming moth ers by having these troubles relieved by Wine of Cardui.
