As the sailor were me enlr people on board who had to w ork, they did not stand up well under tl-.ls arrangement so many of the pas .ncrs volunteered their willingness to live on short rations. The fresh water "upply became exhausted and distillation was resorted to. Later It became ncessrv for all on board to rcartlre living on a limited diet.

Is about the most welcome sik-nt mat anyone can exnerience." sulrt colonel A. W. Miller, of Portland, sur vivor of two aea disasters, yesterday, after reading of the fate that befell the passengers on tho Titanic. Colonel Miller 'was a nassonirer on the ateamer Great Republic that went to pieces on band Island, at the mouth of the Columbia River,,. April- 19, 1879, and also was on board the transport Thomas which caught ilre whllb travel ing from Galveston to New Orleans on the Gulf of Mexico, Christmas day. 18S5. The wreck of the Great Republic is well remembered by many Portland people. The vessel was bound from San Francisco to Portland, and had 1250 passengers on board. As she neared the mouth of the Columbia she encountered a storm that drove her onto tha beach of Sand Island. She lay. there for nearly a day. the waves all the while pounding against her side. Late In the afternoon she started to go to pieces. It was then that the Government lighthouse tnnder Shubrtck made its way out from Astoria and ef fected a rescue. The women and chll aren were put into the lifeboats sent out from the Shubrick nnd conveyed on mi vessel. .exi the men were taken away. The crew attempted to follow, but 14 of their number were lost. It was late at night when Colonel Miller left the ruined ship, he being among me last to De rescued. "That relief ship coming, to our res cue certainly looked good." said Colonel aimer yesieraay. io one who never baa been the victim of a shipwreck can realise how the nasaens-era on the Titanic relt when they saw relief in sight. Although some among them had to be separated from membera of their families, they must have experienced a certain Joyoua thrill when they saw the other boata coming to pick them up after drifting about In the lifeboats for a few hours. Colonel Miller retains the ticket for nis passage from San Franclseo to Portland. It waa not collected after the wreck. Altnougn tne burning of the steamer Thomas, upon which Colonel Miller waa a passenger, threatened the double dan ger of destruction by fire aa wall aa by water, no lives were lost. AH handa had a narrow escape, however. Miller had Just been mustered out. of the Union Army following tha close of the war, and was traveling through the South to recover his health. The Thomas waa a cotton transport, but carried a passenger list of 200. 6he had Just entered the mouth of the Mis sissippi when the cotton in her hold caught Are. All efforts to extinguish the flames were unavailing. Panre reigned among the crew and passen gers. By running at full speed the boat was able to make New Orleans nd discharge her passengers. Then ha wss sent across the river, where he was beached and allowed to burn out. They can say what they want about drowning bng an eaey death." said MI'ler, '"hot when you are an .a ablp wrerked vessel and think that may rau- Charge Mnde That Firm Was Barred Froin Sale. Alleging that other dealers In second hand machinery had combined to. pre vent them from bidding at "a sals of second-hand machinery by the city at the Albina shops of the water depart ment yesterday morning, AL Barde & Son called upon the Mayor at noon and prevailed upon him to prevent the de livery of the goods until the matter in be further Investigated. Those who attended the sale were: J. Simon & Brother, H. B. Davis. Nick Brown. Harry Weinberg. Zimmerman. Wells & Brown, and J. Levy. The en tire stork of pumps, piping and other Junk supplies was auctioned off for a little more than 11500. When Jack Barde, representing the firm of Barde & Son, appeared before the Mayor to have the sale blocked. I he declared that ha would give J1000 mere than the total bid made by the comnctltors and was willing to de liver a check for the entire amount on the spot. Purchasers of the goods had already gone to Albina to haul them away when the order from the Mayor restraining delivery, pending Investiga tion, was received, and as a result the office of the Executive waa besieged all afternoon by Irate bidders, who In sisted upon their right to take their purchases Immediately. Mr. Barde Insists that his firm was not notified that the sale was pend ing, and asserts that the other dealers had entered Into some sort of agree ment to prevent him from getting a chance to bid. "The supplies which were sold yes terday for between 11200 and 11500 were worth at least 17000," said he. "I Intend to have the matter looked Into thoroughly and find out Just why It was that our firm waa not notified In time to have a man on the grounds to bid." Portland and California is greater than it is between Seattle and the South Service between Portland and Seattle is considered - adequate. Portland Is thj gateway for all the California travel originating In the Northwest, and the greatest part of It flows through this city without touching Seattle.

TAKE THE PICTURE WITH AN ANSCO. Woodard, Clarke & Co. SERVICE MAY BE DELAYED n hvv Faster Train to San Francisco Not to Be Put On at Oner. Inauguration of the Southern .Pacif ic's new fast train service between Portland and 8an Francisco, which has been in contemplation for several months, may be delayed until late in the present year, but its necessity is becoming so apparent that passenger officials declare It is Inevitable. "We have discussed it many times." said John M. Scot, general passenger agent yesterday, "but nothing definite haa been determined. The question has been taken up by the heads of the traffic department at San Franclaco. nd It Is probable they will act aa aoon as the service becomes necessary." The Southern Pacific has under con sideration two methods of meeting the present heavy travel between Portland and San Francisco. One is to place the Shasta Limited, now operating between Seattle and San Francisco, on a faster schedule, snd the other Is to place Into romm'sslon an entirely new train be tween Portland and Pan Francisco, al lowing the Shasta to run on Its pres ent time.
