AVater While Passengers Bound
for Valdez Work Fran
tically With Buckets.
SEATTLE Oct. 3. (Special) Colonel
William N. Armstrong, a well known
mining man going north on the Santa
Ana, telegraphed from Neah Bay the fol
lowing story or tne aisasier to me
"The steamship Santa Ana was beached
here, in a sinking condition. The passen
gers have lust landed. The women ana
children were sent ashore in the first
boat. At noon yesterday when fifty miles
outside of Cape Flattery, bound for Val
dez, the ship sprung a leak, 'ine wind was
blowing a gale from the southwest with
seas running mountain men.
'The ship was put about and headed
for Neah Bay. Seas continually broke
over her. All the pumps were started,
but soon the firemen were standing an
kle deep in the water, while trying to
keep steam. Then the captain had all
the passengers notified and all the ship's
boats cleared away for launching, but
it was decided to stick to the ship as
long as possible, as it seemed impossi
ble to launch a boat and get clear of
the ship in such, a raging sea.
"Steam was got up on the donkey
boiler between decks, but Btill It was
found necessary to slow down the en
gine so as to keep steam for the pumps.
The deckhand pump was started and
finally the mate served notice on every
malo passenger on the ship to start a
bucket brigade and bale for their lives.
Darkness came on and we could see the
coast line of the breakers where the
Valencia was lost near Cape Beale.
Water Rises to Firemen's Knees.
"The firemen were now up to their
knees in the water, which was sloshing
to and fro under the furnace grate bars.
We had? a little head sail on the ship,
and this, with the donkey boiler, prob
ably saved her, for we Just managed all
night long to skip the ends of those
awful reefs along Vancouver Island
coast.
We could not get steam enough to
work up to windward for Neah Bay, so
just skimmed along the edge of those
breakers all night, making about two
miles an hou. . Every man was working
for hts life. If we let the water up
another six inches the fires would be
put out and those big pumps would
stop und all was lost. About midnight
the captain had the women and children
moved up into his room on the upper
deck, so as to be close to the lU'eboarts.
Vessel Beached at Clallam.
"But ail this time we were slowly
working up the Straits, and about day
light we commenced to get out of the
sea some, so we could slowly work over
on the Washington side of the Straits
and out of the sea.
"Here at Clallam wo beached the ship,
as the water had put out the fires and
every man was wet, hungry and ex
hausted. "The passengers are now all ashore,
and they are trying to save -the mall.
The chief engineer was badly hurt and
one other man slightly.
"The ship Is now full of water, but
lying easily on a sand bottom. The
passengers are being cared for, dried
out and fed at a house on shore, and
will be sent to Seattle on the Alice Gert
rude, leaving here at 10 o'clock tonight."

MORE THAN HALF MILLION
SUBSCRIPTIONS POUR IN
ALASKA FAIR STOCK.
TO
Directors Will Not Receive Any Con
tribution That Has a Con
dition Attached.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 3. (Special.)
Fifty thousand dollars In subscriptions
to which conditions were attached have
been rejected by the directors of the
Alaska-Yukon Pacific Exposition. Most
of these subscriptions will probably be
amended, but the fair directors will not
accept any contribution for stock that
imposes any condition upon that man
agement. One $25,000 contribution was turned down
by the board before the subscription books
were opened. Though the fair manage
ment does not say so, it is understood
this was the proposed subscription of the
Central Labor Union. The fair directors
did not object to their request that union
labor be employed on fair buildings, for
that will be done, but refused to accept
any donation with a string tied to it.
Since that time other subscriptions, run
ning from small amounts up to $2500, have
been turned back because they are not
free from restrictions.
An actual count late tonight showed
$579,070 of accepted subscriptions checked
and recorded and enough of other contri
butions in process of auditing to run the
fund up to $603,530., In addition, there were
several large steamship and railway cor
porations to be heard from and a large
mail, on the way. Last night's estimate
of $650,000 in subscriptions will be realized
easily.
The fair was originally incorporated
for $500,000, but the capltalizatUfn will have
to be raised to accommodate all those
who wish . to subscribe.

JUST LIKE THE MEN
W. C. T. U. Delegates Logroll
for the Presidency.
TWO CANDIDATES ARE UP
)
Mrs. Additon, Who Has Held Office
for Two Years, Has a Strong
Competitor for the Office
In Mrs. Unruh.
NEWBERG, Or., Oct . 3. (Special.) It
goes without saying that the W. C. T. U.
Is almost a unit on the question of wo
man suffrage and this probably accounts
for the good-natured logrolling that is
going on among the delegates in attend
ance at the state meeting, in anticipation
of the election of officers for the coming
year, which will take place at the morn
ing session tomorrow. If women are to
have the right of suffrage they must get
into the political swim sooner or later,
and, why should not the leaders among
women get their first stroke at one of
their state meetings?
So far as appears on the surface the
only contest where generalship will be
shown will be in the election of presi
dent. The friends of Mrs. Additon, who
has held the office for the past two
years, are rallying to her support for a
third time, while Mrs. Lnruh, a worker
of national reputation as a lecturer, has
a strong following. A poll has no doubt
been taken by both sides with the re
suit tucked away in a sleeve, but since
other delegates are booked to arrive be
fore the fray begins some slates are
liable to be broken.
The leading feature of last night's ses
slon was the annual address given by the
president, who in a very able paper re
viewed the work of the past year and
gave loving words of cheer for the
future, closing with the words:
There are many phases of this mighty,
surging movement In which we are engaged
that I long to bring to you, but time is
short, the problem deep as God's love, broad
as humanity's naeds, and It is life life here,
life eternal. What is life? Forenoon, after
noon, night; forenoon, afternoon, nlgut
forenoon, afternoon and what? The empty
song repeats Itself no more. Tea, thai is
life. Make this forenoon sublime.
This afternoon a psalm, this night a prayer,
And time is conquered, and the crown is won.
At this morning's session the county
presidents were on the progromme, each
outlining her plan for work lor tne year.
Mm Lizzie A. P. White, of Newuerg,
the first woman called to the work In
Oregon was made a lite member, as well
as a number of others-
Memorial services were held at the
close of the session when loving tribute
wo nald to departed members.
In the afternoon a thank offering ser
vice was held when the president gave
recommendations and good counsel to tne
delegates.

test was held In Duncan's hall, the con

P. A. MAC PHERSON PREPARES
TEXT OF BILL.
Suggests That It Be Submitted' to
Next Legislature Slakes
Many Changes.
PORTLAND, Oct 3. (To the Editor.)
From the fact that the laws of the State
of Oregon are quite lax concerning the
insurance companies of all kinds. I would
suggest that our next Legislature pass a
law governing old-line Insurance com
panies as well as laws for the govern
ment of life, accident, stock company,
fidelity surety and guarantee companies,
mutual companies of all kinds, such as
fire, marine and fraternal Insurance.
There are but very few states in the
Union but what have adopted stringent
laws' for the government of all kinds of
Insurance companies and organizations.
I would suggest the following hill to the
consideration of the members of our Leg
islature at their next session:
An act reoulring additional Information to
be incorporated In the annual reports of life
inmirnncfl comDanies doing business in this
state, and the publication of an abstract
thereof by such companies.
Section I. Be It enacted oy tne legislature
of the State of Oregon, that. In addition to
any other matter which may be rcqulrea by
law or pursuant to law by the Insurance pe-
partment, to be stated therein every annual
report of every life insurance corporation doing

of taking the tablecloth out after each
meal and shaking it on the ground, to the
edification of the dog, cat. chickens and
birds? As a boy we used to delight in

or a pretty girl had hold of the cloth. No
other motion, not even the rhythmla
dance, set off her figure to better advan
tage, and the minxes knew It and always
managed to give those flirts when ad
mirers were handy by. But some one In
vented a brush and a pretty receiver and
a new fashion was set.
