TATOOSH GOES TO RESCUE
Sighted Off Gearhart Park Las!
Evening and Tug Is Certain to
Reach Her Before She Goes
Ashore Danger Xot Grave.
' ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.)
A report was received from North Head
about 3:30 this afternoon that the Brit
ish bark Amazon, -which sailed this
morning for the United Kingdom, was
drifting inshore near Tillamook Rock
and was signalling for a tug.
The tug Tatoosh was eent at once to
the rescue, and will probably not return
before morning. The bark is known,
however, not to have been in so immi
nent danger as the first report would
Indicate, for at 6:30 this evening she
was off Clearhart Park, flve-or six miles
offshore, and the tug was certain to
reach her shortly after that time.
Even without the assistance of a tug,
the vessel would be in no grave danger
so long as the present weather condi
tions continue, as the anchorage there
(s good.
The Amazon was towed out this
morning by the tug Wallula, and was
dropped shortly after 10 o'clock well
offshore about a mile beyond the Light
fehip Station. There was a light north
west wind blowing, sufficient to give
lier steerage-way, and she headed oft
the west-southwest. She must have
lost the wind soon afterward, for the
tug Wallula went after the French
hark Amiral de Cornulier, and as she
was crossing in over the bar at 3 o'clock
this afternoon she sighted the Amazon
grading inshore about half way be
tween the Lightship Station and Tilla
mook Rock, and some five miles off
shore. The bark was flying signala
but at that distance they could not be
read.
The Wallula brought her tow inside
and, meeting the Tatoosh goingf out to
assist the distressed craft, came up to
her wharf.

E THE T
Unbounded Enthusiasm Marks
Meeting of Clubs in the
Capital City.
PURSE STRINGS NOT CUT
All Tom Richardson's Enthusiasm
Does Not Bring Forth Any Money
to Boom the Place Other
Speakers Laud the Town.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 12. Opeeial.) Un
bounded enthusiasm characterized the
"booster" meeting at the Grand Opera.
House this evening, when Tom Richard-
rEOHJD KIT, LED BERK TABLKN FROM
son, of Portland, delivered the principal
address. But the enthusiasm did not lead
any one to respond to Richardson's call
for subscriptions to a fund for advertis
ing Salem. After Salem speakers had re
ferred to Astoria and Eugene as "vil
lages," Richardson told the crowd that
Eugene raised a ilO.000 advertising sub
scription in 40 minutes in an audience
not one-fifth as large, and that Astoria
raised $10,000 in 25 minutes. He declared
that there are men in Salem "who could
buy and lose the men who raised the
money at Eugene, and not mles them."
He repeatedly challenged some one to
start a subscription, but without re
sponse. It was evident, however, that Richard
son's stirring address made a strdng im
pression, and there is no doubt thht Sa
lem's present advertising fund of $5000 a
year will very soon be Increased. Rich
ardson's exclamation, "A town that
hopes to keep to the front must get on
the 'paying' band wagon, for it can't get
in free," aroused tremendous applause,
which was renewed when he said that
before a town can grow it must quTt
dinky subscriptions. The booster spirit
was In the air, and Richardson's address
gave it new life. His epeech was a very
practical one, detailing the plan of or
ganization and management of the up-to-date
commercial club.
At Richardson's suggestion a committee
of Salem business men will go to Port
land tomorrow personally to Invite Port
land business men to come here February
18, when the Salem Board of Trade will
give a smoker in celebration of the com
pletion of the Portland-Salem trolley line.
Other speakers tonight were Mayor
Rodgers, who announced that Salem has
arranged to spend $250,000 on paving; Mrs.
P. H. Raymond, president of the Wom
en's Club,- who told how the club haa
improved the public parks and estab
lished a public library; August Hucke
stein, president of the Business Men's
League, who advocated the "home in
dustry" policy; F. W. Powers, of the
Booster Club, who compared Salem with
Eugene and Astoria, and Congressman
W. C Hawley, who told of the pleasure
of returning to the Willamette Valley
from the ice-clad East.
President F. G. Deckebach, of the Board
of Trade, presided and introduced the
speakers in a pleasing manner. Music
for -the occasion was furnished by the
McElroy Orchestra, the Stalwart Quartet,
the Salem band and Mrs. Hallle Parrish
Hinges. The meeting was one of the
greatest "get-together" efforts ever made
in Salem.
H TO IURK YOUR VOTE
INSTRUCTION'S TV B-VLIOTIXG ON
INITIATIVE PETITIONS.
Those Who Wish tho Bill to Become
a Law Must Mark Cross Be
fore Word "Yes."
SALEM, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) That
there Is a general misunderstanding as
to the manner in which ballots should
be marked in voting upon referendum
measures . Is indicated by the fact that
In addressing a public meeting a few
days ago a prominent speaker made the
assertion that in order to defeat a ref
erendum measures one must vote "Yes."
This was an error. Ballots are to be
marked in exactly the same manner as to
both Initiative and referendum measures.
Those who wish a bill enacted or a pro
posed constitutional amendment adopted
should mark their ballots before the word
"Yes." ' Those who are opposed to tt
should vote "No." Whether submitted
under the referendum or proposed by Ini
tiative, the measures appear upon the
ballot in exactly the same form. A bill
that has been passed by the Legislature
and has been referred to the people
stands in the same position as a meas
ure that has been proposed by initiative.
SALEM
I
OWN
The fifing of a referendum petition has
the effect of suspending an act of the
Legislature and such an act cannot go
into effect until it has received an af
firmative majority of all the votes cast.
Should the vote be a tie, upon either a
referendum or an initiative measure, the
measure would be defeated. No bill or
amendment submitted to the people can
become effective unless a majority of the
voters voting upon that measure mark
their ballots in the affirmative. Ballots
not marked upon any particular measure
are not counted either way as to that
measure. .
To illustrate the matter and make it
perfectly clear, let a question be stated
Just as it will appear upon the ballot.
The university appropriation bill, for ex
ample, was1 passed by the. .Legislature
and was held up by the filing' of a. refer
endum petition. The question will appear
upon the ballot in the following form:

Those who wish the bill to become a
law, thus increasing the appropriation,
will make a cross (X) between the num
ber 314 and the word "Yes." Those who
wish the bill defeated and the appropri

Coroner's Jury Renders Ver
dict on Wreck.
TRACK IN GOOD SHAPE
Section Foreman Testifies There Was
Nothing Wrong Engineer and
Conductor Can Give No Rea
son Funerals Held Today.
FOREST GROVP. Or., Feb. 12. (Spe
cial.) The coroner's jury empaneled to
hold an inquest over the bodies of those
killed in the wreck of the Sheridan local
last night at this place, returned a ver
dict simply that Sarah Bates, Howard W.
Bates and J. A. McDonald came to their
death in a wreck on the Southern Pa
cific Railway, and that the wreck was
caused by a broken rail.
The jury empaneled by Coroner Brown,
who came up from Hlllsboro, consisted
of Charles E. Hines, C. Ev Geiger, A. B.
Thomas, G. S. Allen, J. W: Cornelius
and Walter Hodge. At the Inquest noth
ing new in regard to the affair was
brought out. Conductor . S. Thompson
testified that he had been on this run
for the past year and a half and was in
charge of the train that was wrecked.
He said that the train had not yet at
tained full speed when the three rear
coaches suddenly left the track. He
could not tell the cause of the wreck and
did not know any of those who were
killed. The train crew remained caring
for the injured and getting out the dead
till 9:05, when they proceeded with the
mail and baggage car with guch passen
gers as cared to go on.
Blmet Zimmerman, engineer on the
train, stated that they were a minute
ahead of time at Forest Grove, and
waited for this time to pass before
starting slowly. He said that they were
going possibly 20 miles an hour when
the wreck occurred. He has been on
this run over three months, but said he
could give no reason for the accident.
Charles Crampe, section foreman, tes
tified that he had been over the track
where the wreck occurred every day, and
considered the track in good condition.
The break in the rail which threw the
cars off the track, was about 15 or 20
feet from the east end of a 40-foot tres
tle bridge. The engine and baggage and
mail cars passed safely over the trestle.
The first and second passenger coaches
fell clear off the trestle, toppling over on
their sides, the last car being tipped only
half over. The damage to the track was
slight and repairs could easily be made
for the morning train to pass.
The body of J. A. McDonald, one of the
killed, was shipped to McMinnville this
evening. He was a brickmason there and
leaves a wife.
The funeral of Mrs. Bates and her baby
will be held at the Congregational
Church tomorrow afternoon.
RAIIROAD WlXiIi HOLD INQUIRY
Southern Pacific Seeks to Determine
Cause of Wreck.
Official inquiry to determine the
cause of the wreck of the Sheridan pas
senger near Forest Grove Tuesday
night will be held this morning by
officials of the Southern Pacific Com
pany in this city. The following men
constitute the board of Inquiry: Gen
eral Superintendent of Harrlman Lines
M J. Buckley, Superintendent of South
ern Pacific L. R. Fields, Division Engi
neer Ballons and Master Alechanic
Younger.
There seems to be no doubt that a
broken rail caused the derailment. That
these accidents will happen occasional
ly, despite every safeguard that the
operating department of railroads can
place around them, is the testimony of
railroad men. Broken rails probably
cause more derailments than any other
one thing, but flaws in steel rails are
hidden and there is said to be no" way
to make every rail perfect The Oregon
Railroad Commission will make an in
vestigation today at Forest Grove, to
place the responsibility, If possible, for
the wreck.
The injured are doing as well as
could be expected, and It is believed all
will recover ' The injured are being
cared for for the most part In the
towns near the scene of the wreck, and
Assistant Superintendent Morris, of the
Southern Pacific, who returned last
night from Forest Grove, reported that
all were doing well.
B II. Grant, of Portland, who suf
fers from a bruised hip, but was not
seriously hurt, returned to the city
yesterday, and it is expected he will
have entirely recovered within a few
days.
The derailed cars will be brought
back to the city today for repairs. One
of the coaches was picked up yester
day and placed on the track by the
wrecking train, whi,oh left Portland
yesterday morning, and' another car
was blocked up, ready to be set back
on the track. The wrecker stopped
work at dark last night, but will re
sume and complete its task today.
The report yesterday that there was
a fourth victim of the wreck, and that
a young mam of Sheridan was lying
dead beneath the derailed cars proved
to be false. The wrecking crew proved
the falsity of this report, for they
blocked up the cars, so ,they could see
beneath them.
The equipment of the ill-fated Sheri
dan passenger was damaged but little,
and after ' the overturned cars are
brought to the Portland shops and a
few repairs made, and paint ajid var
nish applied, they will look as good as
new. But little of the woodwork on
the cars was crushed.

YAMHILL CANDIDATES FILING
Five County Aspirants Declare In
tentions to Run for Office. .
M'MINNVILLE. Or., Feb. 12. (Spe
cial.) Five aspirants thus far have
.filed with the County Clerk their Inten
tion to come before, the people at the
primaries as candidates on the Repub
lican side for various county officers.
Arthur Branson and Martin Miller are
candidates for Assessor; J. H. Reece,
for Recorder; B H. Evans, for' Sheriff,

the first-named will very likely have
competitors In his own party. As yet,
Mr. Jones has no opposition for Clerk,
although be Is seeking a third terra,
having been elected two years ago by
an overwhelming vote.
Legislative candidates are not yet in
evidence. Yamhill's Senator is a hold
over, but the district, comprising Yam
hill, Tillamook, JLincoIn and Washing
ton, will elect a Senator. Senator G. S.
Wright, who has served the district
one term, is non-committal as to
whether or not he will again become a
candidate for re-election. It Is under
stood, however, that Washington Coun
ty is willing to furnish a candidate for
the office. This county will elect two
Representatives to the Legislature.

H. L. Corbett 337,010
Charles Altschul (The Road Co.) H,5)
William Hanley Co.. B9.S60
Jennie Devlne estate . 41,130
And those, five can be now reckoned as
really only four, because the H. L. Cor
bett interests and the Hanley company in
terests have . been consolidated." This
county is assessed on the basis of one
third cash valuation but the large hold
ings of the Willamette Valley & Cascade
Mountain Wagon Road Company- and
others ae listed at an average of about
$2 an acre, while the cheapest scrip now
on the market is $S.25 an acre and school
scrip is $8.75, so the assessment is not
even one-third. Hereafter, the property

is also a general demand that the land of
the non-resident speculator shall be as
sessed at the same rate as fhe land of
the resident home-maker, which is of the
same charactter.

K. W. HAINES.
Dated at Forest Grove, Or., February 11,
10O8.
It will be seen that The Orefronian
Forest Grove correspondent waa care
ful to say that It was "implied" that
W. B. Haines' discharge had been for
"an alleged connection with the de
ficiency In the bank's vaults." If this
was not the Inference, it is hard to
understand why W. B. Haines should
feel called upon to deny at the meeting
that he "had dishonestly taken one
cent from the bank." B. W. Haines has
since that time seen fit to make a
statement exonerating "W. B. Haines,
which is, no doubt, what he should do
In the circumstances. But that Is his
affair, not The Oregonian's, which Is
Interested only to the extent of up
holding the integrity of its news re
ports. The Oregonian's Forest Grove corre
spondent was asked last night about
the Haines statements. He said that
his report of the Saturday meeting was
correct.
Truth
and Quality
appeal to the Well-Informed In every
walk of life and are essential to per
manent success and creditable stand
ing. Accordingly, It is not claimed
that Syrup of Figs and Elixir o!
Senna is the only remedy of known
value, but one of many reasons why
It Is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact.that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal
organs on which, it acts without any
debilitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from
time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all
objectionable substances. To get its
beneficial effects always purchase the
genuine manufactured by the Cali

SIMPLE WASH t.LRKS ECZEMA.
Itching;, llurnlng Skin Dineasc Routed
Without Vae at Injurious Druje".
Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of Dr. Decatur D.
Dennis, the eminent skin specialist of
Chicago.
- Dr. Dennis, In his own office prac
tice, discovered that pure vegetable oil
of wintergreen, properly mixed with
other simple remedies was practically
a sure specific for Eczema, psoriasis,
barber's itch, salt rheum, and other
itching skin diseases. But the oil of
wintergreen alone wns found .inef
fective. It required other mild ingre
dients such as glycerine and thymol
compounded with the wintergreen, to
produce the real eczema cure.
This compounded D. D. D. Prescrip
tion positively takes away the itch at
once the instant it is applied to the
skin. This vegetable liquid does away
with the delettrlous drugs so long
used In an attempt to doctor the blood,
whereas modern science has deter
mined that eczema is first and all the
time a skin disease.
If you want to know more about
the merits of D. D. D. Prescription, call
at our store. We vouch for this remedy.
