TORN TO PIECES IN STORM Thirty or More Crushed to Death, Some Drowned and Survivors Are Picked Up From Wreckage. KEY" WEST. Fla.. Oct. 23. 8urvlvors from one of the houseboats on the Florida East Coast Railway extension along the Keys tell a harrowing tale of death and destruction caused by the storm of Thursday. W. P. Dusenberry. civil engineer in charge of the work on Long Key, arrived here on the Russian steamer Jennie, among other survivors rescued. He says houseboat No. 4, on which were 150 men, was struck by the storm at 5 o'clock Thursday morning and was driven out Into the gulf. At 6 o'clock the houseboat began to break up and as the great waves hit her. men. singly and In bunches of two and three, were washed into the sea and drowned. Some went below for protection, but when the top of the boat was carried away, the waves rushed In and the boat soon went to pieces. 31 or 40 of the men being crushed to death in- the collapse, the others grabbing timbers to save them selves from drowning. Dusenberry was in the hold, but succeeded in getting on to a log and floated until Friday night. On one piece of timber 16 men were clinging and trine were hanging to an other. The sides of the houseboat were crowded with men. It turned over three times, each time reducing the number. The steamer Jennie sighted the wreck age and succeeded In rescuing the 99 men who were brought here. Three other steamers were picking up dead and alive men when the Jennie left the scene. There was another houseboat with 150 men on board at Long Key, which Mr. Dusenberry thinks was also swept to sea. There were in all ten boats at Long Key. mortar mixers, dredger and other boats engaged In the work. The survivors were furnished food and clothing from the East Coa.t Railway commissary here and were given medical attention.

OREGOMAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Oct, 21. American farmers inter ested In the manufacture of denatured alcohol under the terms of the bill passed at the last session of Congress, can gather a helpful hint from a statement recently issued by the Department of Commerce and Iabor. showing the manner In which the German farmers are manufacturing alcohol from their waste products. The statement, in question follows: "Representative E. J. Hill, of Connecti cut, who assisted the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to formulate the rules under which the free alcohol law went into effect on October 1. spent most of the Summer In Europe with Commissioner Yexkes In investigations on this subject. Mr. Hin states that Germany was the country in which the most progress was found to have been made in the direc tion of applying denatured alcohol for the development of industrial purposes. There are 70,000 farm distilleries in Germany, many of them being very small, and Mr. Hill was asked how the German Govern ment could afford to furnish an inspector to each one of these distilleries. He re plied: There is no difficulty in that respect. The stills have to be made In a certain way, which Includes a tank that can be locked with a Government lock and sealed with a Government seal. The small farm distille ries do not operate all the year round. They operate In the Winter when the farmer has leisure to do something: other than straight farm work. The farmer has to give the Government 30 days' notice as to the time he wants to begin to operate his still. Some time during the 30 days an inspector comes along and looks the still over to see that It is clean, etc.. end then he locks and seals the tank, after which the still is ready for the farmer. He may go ahead and distill until the tank Is full. Then he Informs the person who Is to buy the alcohol from him, after which he notifies the Government, and an Inspector comes and removes the seal, meas ures the contents of the tank, and collects the revenue. If the farmer wants to denature the alcohol on the spot he can do so In the presence of an Inspector, when the amount of the tax will be returned to him. But gen erally the farmers sell through the great central selling agencies, which denature at a central point and in large quantities, and collect the rebate from the Government in considerable sums. Thus the Government agents are not required to spend any appre ciable time at any one farm, and one in spector can cover a large territory. Mean while the central selling agency pays tha farmer on the basis of beverage alcohol and rebates for all that Is denatured. It is a good system and is not very expensive to the Government.

DEMOCKATS Rt'N INDEPENDENT Three Men Will Try for .Cou nty Of fices in Lewis. CHEHAL1S, Wash.. Oct 21. (Special.) For the first time in a number of years an Independent ticket has been put in the field in Lewis County, the-candidates be ing nominated by petition. There are three of them, all Democrats, and their candidacy is an outgrowth of dissatisfac tion at the results of the recent Demo cratic convention, held in this city. The convention nominated a complete ticket and this one and the Republican county ticket are the only complete .tickets which will appear on the official ballot. The independent candidates, who have bolted the regular Democratic candidates for the same positions, are: Theodore T. Spurgcon, for County Attorney; George Geissler, for Sheriff, and C. W. Long, for County Commissioner of the second dis trict. SVnrgeon and Geissler are resi dents of Chehalis. Ixng is a resident of Roistfort Precinct, and was the regular Democratic candidate for Commissioner of this district two years ago. Geissler. was defeated for the nomination for Sheriff in the Democratic convention, the honor going to Edward Deggelier, of this city, who was for two terms Sheriff, up to four years ago. . Spurgeon was not a candidate before the Democratic convention this Fall; neither was Mr. .Long, but other men wore, and it is alleged that the nomina tion went to ex-Attorney M. A. Lang horne for Attorney and to Charles Gessell for Commissioner by trickery. Meantime Republicans are pretty generally united in support of their ticket, and the success of it from Representatives down to Cor oner Is predicted. B. L. Morrison's Will. VANCOUVER..

A Rare Opportunity To Secure Safe Deposit Tell your friends about our bargain offer for Safe Deposit Boxes HILL FIGHTS HARD Opposes Invasion of Puget Sound by Every Means. COUNCIL. ACTS : SLOWLY Plan of Campaign Is Very Similar Against Three Great Transconti nental Unes That Are Trying to Reach. Salt Water. . SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 21. :Speclal.) James Hill is fighting, bitterly to prevent the coming of more railroads to Seattle, yielding- an inch at a time in the effort to protect, this territory for the Northern PuQlilej Great Northern nnri Burlinirtoii; Every step the Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Union Pa- j cine and Canadian facinc nave ia.eii has been opposed by Hill, and there is a. Bimilarity in Hill's manner of meeting each new attack by a new road that suggests St. Paul officials .have in. Btructed local representatives, to stand on a fixed policy of opposition. Hill tied up the Chicago. Milwaukee & -St. Paul franchises here unt.l the piibllc'took the question from the "Sands of the -Council in the last municipal campaign and virtually compelled the granting of the St." Paul's franchise on the terms the road proposed. Then Hill executed a flank attack on. the St. Paul's right to enter the -city by way of Cedar River Valley, ' through land ac quired by the city to protect its munici pal water supply. . With almost Identical tactics to those employed in fighting the St. Paul, Hill has tied up Harrlman's franchises here since March. The Harriman interests were in no rush for a franchise when the application was made, but since that time hafe tried strenuously to overcome the opposition of the Hill ln terjsts. Canadian Paciric Hides Hand. Though Canadian Pacific officials have stated the line would ie extended to Seattle, there has been no buying of terminals uncovered here, and the Ca nadian Pacific plans are shrouded in mystery. The Canadian Pacific now en ters Seattle over the Northern Pa cific's coast line under a trackage lease. This lease was extended another year In May, and it temporarily provides for the Canadian Pacific. That road will probably have to come in from the north, and Hill is buying a new right of way across the northern entrance to the city, to be found sitting in the door way when the Canadian line attempts to enter. Hill officials believed for years they had Seattle closed to rival lines. The Northern Pacific has cramped yardr at Argo, adjoining the city on the south, that nearly close up an entrance to the city from that direction. Hill interests proposed to acquire lands in the -north end that would plug up that entrance to the city. On the east are the hills, and on the west the waters of the Sound. Hill delayed too long In clos ing a deal for the property that would block a northern entrance, and Harri man secured It as a part of his local terminal scheme. Strategy of the St. Paul. The St. Paul overcame the Northern Pacific obstacles in the south by secur ing a 99-year trackage agreement from the Columbia A Puget Sound, a small inforced twenty-six-inch concrete walls, steel lined,, with electric wiring of the latest device to show the slightest tampering.

"coal road" owned by the Pacific Coast Company that' has a right -'of ' way -fo"r-two tracks leading into the city-. Har riman will' force a crossing over the Northern Pacific's tracks. When the St. Paul began its fight for a franchise the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Columbia & Puget Sound Immediately asked for trackage rights on th streets' the St. Paul wanted to use. On one thoroughfare the Hill lines already had tracks, and IJili agents inspired a protest from property-owners against granting any fur ther franchises on the street. But the big fight was made by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern against tracks on Whatcom avenue, a water front street fronting on the property the St. Paul had bought for docks. Both roads demanded franchises. When popular sentiment compelled the Council, at the close of last Spring's mu nicipal election, to grant the St. Paul's franchise, the Northern Pacific and Great Northern dropped their demand .for. track age rights. Though there is room on this street for more tracks, the two Hill roads lost interest in it when the St. Paul won Its fight. . . . Sanitary Experts Brought In- Dr. Parke Willis. Northern Pacific sur geon, was in the East a- short time after the St. Paul obtained permission to build through the Cedar River Valley over land acquired by the city in the protection of its water supply. Dr. Willis brought home a theory that the railroad would contam inate the water supply, stirred up the op position of the King County Medical So ciety and compelled the St Paul to em ploy five sanitary experts to disprove Wil lis' claims. Before the city was satisfied three of the most prominent, experts in this country were brought here as municT ipal arbiters, and they agreed with the St. Paul's experts that the road would not Injure the water supply. Hafriman's franchise application drew attention from the St. Paul invasion, and the Hill opposition was turned in an ef fort to keep put Harriman. The Harri man interests own more terminal ground in Seattle than all the Hill roads com bined, and .have already invested more money here than all the other railroad in terests combined. For Hill's benefit the entire tideland district in the southern part of the city was replatted and a number of street, va cations were made to accommodate his terminals.' But when Harriman asked the privilege of . entering to his passenger de pot grounds over Fourth avenue, the Hill Interests immediately precipitated a bitter fight. With half a dozen exceptions, every property-owner along the street protested and lined up with Hill to fight the en trance of the Harriman road. Right of Way Covered With Water. Fourth avenue at present is shown only on the maps. Where the street is planned the tides ebb and flow, and the only way one might pass over the thoroughfare would be In a boat. It will cost a fortune to fill the street $3500 per lot, it is esti mated, if street, sewer and water im provements are added but the Hill oppo sition declared a principal thoroughfare would be ruined .if Harriman were per mitted to lay tracks on Fourth avenue. The public regarded the fight with more or less indifference, consoling itself with the belief that Harriman would come in somehow; and the Council has been con fronted for seven months with a bitter opposition of property-owners and the Hill interests. So the Council procrastinated until local Hill officials went from excuse to excuse, until, they finally proposed a joint right of way for both the Hill and Harriman lines up Fifth avenue. Then Harriman executed his coup by bringing condemnation proceedings to force an .en trance to Seattle. There Is a striking similarity between the two Hill campaigns against the St. Paul and the Harriman system the op position of property-owners; the applica tion for l-Illl franchises where rival roads wanted them and tne procrastination of a Council .that has been listening to Hill for years. The St, Paul won its fight be cause an opportune municipal election gave the public a chance to demand action of the Council; Harriman is forcing the issue by an appeal to the courts.

( Special. ) With chilling frosts prevailing and the Winter coming on, Spokane faces a fuel famine. Coal is not to be had. Inquiry of all the fuel companies discloses empty bins and no prospect of shipments. The supply from Roslyn has stopped and the Wyoming mines are sending none at pres. ent. Wood dealers stated today that they have on hand enough to supply the city's fires for only one day. More is coming by railroad, but a prolongation of the cold snap would mean a cleaning out of every yard. Wood retails for $7 a cord and the price . is advancing. Pullman ana all points in the Palouse country are threatened with a fuel famine. In fact, the famine is now being felt In many places. . There is no coal or wood to be had In many towns, And prices are steadily advancing. Wood cannot be se cured here, and the last sold at $7.50 de livered. Not a carload of coal has been received for several weeks, and there seems to be little prospect of the shortage being relieved in the near future. The price of coal has not advanced, but it is impossible to get It . at any price. Dealers say they have had orders In for three months, and have no information when they will be filled. The situation Is growing serious, and should a cold wave strike the country soon, there will be suf fering for want of fuel. New Northwest Rural Carriers. ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash., D. C. Oct. 21.
