raim Hedberg, of . Cumberland. Wis.,
whil en route here, accompanied by his
daughter, has been partially cleared up.
Hedberg disappeared from the train at
Umatilla, Or., August 5, 1908, and it was
supposed he met with foul play. For
months no trace whatever could be found
of him and the search was about given
tip. Several weeks ago a human head
was found in the vicinity of Hermiston,
Or., but even this discovery was not
deemed sufficient to identify the remains
as being those of Hedberg.
G. H. Hedberg, Western Union line
man, located here, and a nephew of the
missing man, has Just received a letter
from an official at Hermiston that. In
addition to finding the head, they have
also found a coat, in the pocket of which
was a railroad ticket to Ashland. Or.,
signed with the' name of E. Hedberg,
duly witnessed. The ticket was sold
August 1. 10S.
This grewsome find Is now in the pos
session of officials at Hermiston, and a
dispatch from there to the nephfw in
Ashland received this afternoon an
nounces that other portions of the re
mains. Including various papers, have
been found and that the identification Is
complete.
G. H. Hedberg expects to leave for the
north tomorrow to aid the authorities
in investigating the matter.

At Risk of Life Clambers Over Rocks
and With Breakers Dashing Over
Him Gets Line to Distressed ..
Craft Loss Is 960,000.
MARSHFIELD. Or.. March u fas
cial.) The big four-mast schooner Mar
coni, which was wrecked ! last night, is
being, dashed to pieces in a cove south of
the entrance to Coos Bay. Nothing of
the boat or cargo can be saved, and she
will be a total loss of about $60,000 for
the Simpson Lumber Company, of North
Bend. Like all other boats of the com
pany, she was uninsured.
Captain B. W. Olson, of the steam
schooner Nan Smith, and formerly of the
steamer Alliance,, proved a hero and
risked his life to help save the members
of the Marconi's crew. The Nan Smith
was lying in the""1ower bay awaiting a
favorable opportunity to cross out when
the accident occurred. Captain Olson,
with a mate and seaman, succeeded in
getting to the wreck first.
Olson Risks His Life.
He reached the top of the high rock
where the Marconi struck and was low
ered over the cliff on a half-inch rope
into the breakers, where he was in dan
ger of losing his life. A flshline was
thrown from the Marconi. The breakers
dashed over Captain Olson and threat
ened to sweep him down on the rocks,
but he finally secured the .fiehline and
with it connected a heavy line with the
wrecked boat and the shore and rescued
two men before the life-saving crew ar
rived. The latter had a hard time reaching
the ship. They had to cross the bay and
carry tackle two miles over a mountain
trail to get at the wreck. Using the
breeches buoy, they did prompt and brave
work under the command of their leader,
Captain Boice. All of the Marconi crew
were safely brought to shore.
Xo One Blamed for Wreck.
The accident- was not thought to be
the fault of anyone. The Marconi was
in tow of the company's tug Columbia.
When the tug started out the bar was
quiet and conditions favorable, but be
fore crossing entirely over the bar the
boats were struck by several heavy seas
and a hard wind. The hawser broke
and one end wound around the propeller
of the tug. It was with great difficulty
the Columbia was saved. The Marconi,
although dropping her anchors, was driv
en by the sea to Tunnel Point, south of
the bar, where she lodged and later
washed back into a cove.

tributed during the day to boys under 18,
who are to compete for prizes furnished
by the State College of Washington and
the O. R. & N. Company. At every sta
tion the train was besieged with farmers
who desire to obtain samples of Canadian
seeds for experimental work. But 10
half-bushel sacks can be furnished, and
these are given to the most progressive
farmers In the community, whose names
have ben handed in by the Farmers'
Union. A trainload of these field peas
could have been used to advantage on

The trajn is making a tour of the Palouse
L-uuiltry ttuci will Close iiie ween ttt v
Walla Saturday afternoon.
X year ago the first train wsia sent
through this section. Then it was almost
impossible to get interest. At places
where but few people came last year,
hundreds come now. The schools are
usually dismissed, and the children'are
marched to the cars to inspect the dis
plays made by the colleges and to hear
something of the dignity of farm life
when properly lived.
One of the most interesting features
of the exhibits is a new Fall wheat known
as bluestem. Bluestem is naturally a
Spring grain and freezes readily. For 10
,years the college has been propagating a
wheat that will produce the same grado
of flour and yield as readily on ordi
nary land. This has been produced and
the seed is being distributed to farmers,
as far as it will go. In small lots for ex
perimental purposes. This grain prom
ises to raise the yield of land fully five
bushels to the acre.
The train will cross Snake River to
morrow and the remainder of the week
will be spent in the Walla Walla country.
