said:

"U'MKliuira from fli vessel was ev
erywhere, aiid many passengers were
held fast under the floating debris,
making the rescue work hard. As soon
as I could gather my crew ashore, I
obtained two sras boats. One I sent to
Petersburg with Instructions to noti-
IV ally panning c;ri ft vu, i.iuuiji..
The other I loaded with, the injured and
the bodies of the dead which we hail
recovered from the wreck and headed
for Juneau, 90 miles away. This boat,
carrying the dead and injured, met the
steamship Jefferson and notified Cap
tain Nord of the disaster. Captain Noru
took the boat's people aboard and hur
ried to Gambler Bay, where the Jeffer
son arrived at 5:0 in the afternoon.
The survivors who had remained at tne
cannery were taken cn by the Jeffer
son, which curried them to Juneau.
"Too much praise cannot be given
the men of my crew for their perfect
VjisHpline. and to the people of the can

survivors and fitted them with warm
clothing:. The officers r.nd crew or the

VESTER THAT SUCCEEDS IT.
ATHENA Or.. Aug. 18. (Special.) Displacing 20 good mules, approximate
ly valued at $7000. the big caterpillar engine recently purchased by E. A. Dud-,
ley. one of the big wheat raisers ot Athena, is pulling his combined harvester
over 60 acres or ground each day in a heavy stubble, yielding between 45 and
50 bushels of wheat an acre.
Mr. Dudley has one of the most complete harvesting outfits in the Inland
Empire. Two gasoline engines operate the machine. A 40-horsepower sta
tionary engine runs the separator and th header equipment, while the cater
pillar furnishes the tractor power. The operation of the machine is causing
considerable interest among wheat-raisers of this section, and it is probablo
that the new method of harvesting larga acreage will be adopted generally
here.
BRIDGE ELECTION
10 BE PETITIONED
Bond Issue for Columbia Span
Likely to Be Submitted to
Multnomah Voters.
$1,250,000 1S SUM WEEDED
Committeeman Tells of Advantage to
Portland of Crossway Borden
Will Be Lighter Here Than
In Clarke County.
The first active step towards a
movement to secure funds to construct
Multnomah County's end of the pro
posed interstate bridge, connecting
Portland and Vancouver, for which
Clarke County, Wash., voted J 500,000 in
bonds last week, was taken yesterday
at a meeting in the Commercial Club
building ot members of the interstate
bridge committee of the Portland Com
mercial Club. Those present were
Chairman Frank B. Riley, J. H. Nolta,
E. G. Crawford and M. G. Munly. of
the committee. State Representative
Lofgren and ' County Commissioner
Hart.
It was decided that Multnomah Coun
ty should vote 1. 250.000 in bonds,
$500,000 to be used in a filled roadway
for a permanent approch and the bal
ance for the bridge proper. Although
Commissioners Hart and Holman ex
pressed their willingness to call a spe
cial bond election for the date of the
state referendum election, November 4.
it was decided to petition for it. Only
1000 signatures are necessary.
The advertising feature and the op
portunity of getting some degree of
popular expression on the proposed
bond Issue prompted decision In favor
of this method of procedure.
. Width to Be 24 Feet.
The bridge will be 24 feet in width.
Originally a 38-foot bridge was talked
of. at an estimated cost of $2,000,000.
The lesser width will enable the struc
ture to be built, however, for about
$1,250,000.
It has been decided that there should
be two approaches, one on Union ave
nue leading to the heart of the city
and the other on Patton avenue, lead
ing to the Peninsula district These
would merge in a single roadway long
before reaching the 12,000 feet of
slough bottom near Hayden Island. At
present it costs Multnomah County
nearly $40,000 a year to maintain the
wooden trestle across the slough,
whereas the filled roadway would be
permanent and would pay for itself In
a dozen years or so.
The Interstate bridge committee
members, or such of them as are in
the city, probably will hold a meeting
with the County Commissioners this
afternoon to discuss further details.
Speaking of the bridge last night, W.
L. Boise, of the committee, said;
"It would be a great beneflt to Mult
nomah County, as it would make Clarke
County practically a suburb and bring
us in close touch with Southwestern
Washington, not to mention an impor
tant connecting link of the Pacific
Highway. It would give Clark County
and surrounding territory a bigger and
more accessible market and better
transportation. The standing of Port
land and Vancouver as a harbor would
be Immensely -Jielped.
Burden Comparatively Llfcfct.
"As soon as Uie Celllo Canal la fin
ished and the task of opening the Up
per Columbia is undertaken we would
be in a better position to demand as
sistance from the State of Washington
in that project. Clarke County voted
$500,000 in bonds on an assessment of
$14,000,000. If we voted $10,000,000 it
would not be more than half as great
a burden upon us. considering the rela
tion of the asse&Bed valuations of the
two counties.
"Clark County has voted for a toll
bridge and we shVuld have to do the
same. As such the structure would be
self-supporting. Another thing to re
member Is that we would more than
make the price of the bridge back al
most immediately in increased value of
realty. I realize- that the people here
have net taken kindly to bond issues of
late, but this is a different thing. It is
one of the biggest and most necessary
projects undertaken fcr years. People

All Possible Aid Offered Multnomah
in Bridge Matter.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Aug. 19. (Spe
clal.) Vancouver and Clarke County
were much interested today in the re
port that Multnomah County had set
the date for the bridge bond election
for November 5, when referendum
measures will be voted upon at the
same time.
That Multnomah County set the elec
tion date so soon after it was learned
that Clarke County had carried the
issue, is encouraging to the residents
on this side of the river, and if they
can In any way assist 'the Oregonians,
they will be pleased to do so, according
to President Henry Crass, of the Van

CAREY ACT CRITICISED
GOVERNOR WEST SAYS RESULT
NOT SCTFICIENT.
State and Federal Co-operative Rec
lamation Work X'rged On
Secretary Lane.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 19. (Special.)
"The Carey-irrigation act has not pro
duced the results its friends antici
pated," said Governor West, who re
turned today from Eastern Oregon,
where, he, with Secretary of the Inte
rior Lane, made an investlgtaion of Ir
rigation work. "If the arid lands of
the state are to be reclaimed at a rea
sonable cost, the work must be done
by the state or Federal Government or
through their co-operation.
"Secretary Lane was shown the irri
gation possibilities of the eastern part
of the state. He was shown over the
Central Oregon irrigation project and
the Madras country. This is a. large
district which the state and Federal
governments plan reclaiming.
"I became convinced during the In
vestigation, and so told Secretary Lane,
that the Carey act projects could not
be completed properly, except by the
state or Federal Government or
through the co-operation of both.
"Our irrigation projects are so targe
and difficult that private concerns will
not undertake them unless they are
convinced enormous profits can be
made. This would work hardships on
the settlers that ought to "be avoided.
"The Tumalo project, formerly the
Columbia Southern, which is now in
charge of the state, will prove that the
plan to have the -work done by the
state of Federal Government is the
better one.
"The Government appropriates mon
ey for the improvement of the water
ways which is good" for all the people.
I see no reason why money should not
be appropriated for improving land,
which is now useless, which would be
good for all the people. It makes the
Btate bigger from a productive point of
view and aids everybody in proportion.
I think the state would benefit from
the reclamation of land more than from
the improvement of waterways."

HOOD RIVER GIVES HELP
Merchants Demand Better Accom
modations to Travelers In City.
Hood River, Or.. August 19. (Spe
cial.) The City Council took action
last night at the instigation ot the
Retail Merchants' League that will
lead toward more convenient and com
fortable means of travel for the east
side orchardlsts who come here to shop
with the Hood River merchants.
The merchants called the attention of
the Council to the fact that two blocks
of State street, over which tne orc'iard
lsts would have to travel, had not been
paved nor hard-surfaced, although the
rest .of. the business streets had re
ceived a surfacing of Hassarn concrete.
This stretch would have become muddy
during the Winter months, and the
merchants asked it improved.
On the report of the street commit
tee it was recommended that a board
walk be built from the O.-W. R. & N.
Station to the Underwood Ferry land
ing for the accommodation of the citi
zens of that district across the Co
lumbia. TRAIN OF LOGS RUNS WILD

track when they reached the wagon
crossing on the main road to the har
bor. Monster logs were piled high in

To get around the wreck it was nec
essary for the auto men to go back
some distance and go on the Grays

their premises. It is believed by the
council that Salem can be made a much
prettier city than it is. The ordinance
provides that property owners who- fail
to have weeds in front of their prop
erty cut at intervals shall pay for the
work which will be done by the strett
commissioner.
"Won't the people cut the weeds in
front of their premises?" asked Coun
cilman Waring of Street Commissioner
Cornelius.
"They will not." replied the street
commissioner. "You must pass an
ordinance making it mandatory that
they do so if you expect the parkings
to be clear of weeds."
Aunt Sally's Advice
to Beauty Seekers
K. C. F., says: "My skin becomes so
greasy every Summer, and this so at
tracts dust and dirt that I have an
awful time keeping my face clean
looking. Can you suggest anything?"
The method mentioned in reply to
Eloise will overcome this condition.
D. N. A. writes: "How can I get rid
of crowsfeet and wrinkles about the
mouth corners?" Use a wash lotion
prepared by dissolving 1 ot powdered
saxolite in Pt- witch hazel. This
tigittens the skin, tending to disperse
wrinkles, and Its tonic effect is mors
than temporary.
Eloise says: "My freckles are worse
than ever this year, made doubly con
spicuous by a pallid complexion. Is
there any cure?" Ask your druggist
for an ounce of mercolized wax, apply
nightly like cold cream, removing in
the morning with warm water. As the
wax gradually and harmlessly absorbs
the affected cuticle, not only will the
freckles vanish, but the new and
younger skin which appears will have
a healthy color. Probably you will
need to continue treatment a week or
more. VomRi'n Realm. Adv.
