ABERDEEN. Wash.. Dec J. (Spe
cial) Pounding- to pieces just outside
the Grays Harbor Jetty, a four masted
schooner either the Espada or Bal
boa Is ashore, and five members of
her crew wore rescued after passing
many hours dinging to the rigging, to
which they were driven by the terrific
sea which sent the vessel on the beach
and placed all in great peril.
Late tonight it was believed the lives
of the others on the wrecked ship will
be saved. It Is said there Is no hope of
saving the vessel, owing to the heavy
surf and her position on the beach.

The tugs Daring and Traveler are
standing by and the rescue work Is
being dono by the Westport lifesavlng
crew, which passed many hours fight
Ing against odds, trying to get a line
sboard the stranded Teasel. The res
cues were thrilling. It Is believed she
went ashore about daybreak this morn
ing.
Captain Nygreen. of the atearem Fair
Oaks, who sighted the wreck, said he
was unable to tell whether it waa the
Espada .or Balboa.
It Is said the schooner met disaster
after falling to find the harbor mark
ings at their customary places.
The Balboa and the Espada, both of
which have been reported off the har
bor from Callao. coming to load lum
ber, are slater schooners of 77 tons
Kross measurement. The one Is on the
beach and the other ia anchored two
miles south of the bar.
Part at Jetty la Lest. (
One thousand feet of the north Jetty
Just completed at a cost of 11,000.000
has been carried away by the terrible
storm which has swept the coast for
the psst week. The great wall went
out Friday night, it Is believed.
All telephone communication ia down
end detailed report Is utterly Impos
sible. Seagoing tugs are In the lower
gtarbor and cannot be reached. ,
It is known that the Jetty ia out.
"however. The sea is breaking so high
that the Jetty cannot be seen from ves
sels passing close by. Also the harbor
buoys are out of place and entrance
at this time is extremely dangerous for
snail reft.
It was thought here until late today
that the wreck either was the W. J.
Patterson, the S. M. glade or the Ma
weema, all schooners which have been
lying in the lower harbor.
One of these was seen to pass out by
Jetty employes.
The launch Alexander, the mall boat
between Hoquiam and Westport. was
icported in trouble in the lower harbor
and fears have been entertained for
her safety.
Starlight AIM Ashore.
The fishing launch Starlight went
ashore on the Jetty and is thought to
have. been pulled with all safe by the
launch Redwing. This was before the
storm had reached Its worst point.
Fifteen thousand dollars' damage was
done the Northern Pacific right of way
between this city and Hoqulatu and on
the South Bay-Ocosta branch out of
this city, by the floods and freshets
of Saturday. One of the two tracks
tu Hoquiam will be out for two days
at Uast. It will take $3000 to repair It.
The Ocosta line is declared to have
sustained many washouts and 'It will
take ten days to repair this damage
( a cost of $10,000.
Telephone lines to north and south
beaches are down and will be tor days
because of the Impassable condition
of the country they traverse.
Rivera An Threatening.
Storm reports from various parts of
the county show that the Satsop. Quln
ault and Wynooehe rivers are cutting
badly. The territories through which
'they flow, have been inundated for
days. The Qulnault is cutting a new
thannel from the lake of that name.
Hoquiam was in total darkness all of
'last night, and since Saturday night
had been without street lights because
of the Grays Harbor Company's plant
in this city being disabled by high wa
ter. Gas service was resumed late today.
The break in an electric power line
across the Hoquiam River interfered
with the lights In that city. The break
was repaired today.

SALEM, Or,' Dec. 1. (Special.)
Because of the Inability of the State
Tax Commission heretofore to antici
pate state expenditures and make ap
proximately uniform levies, the levy
this year, according to figures given
out by the Commission today, will be
the largest in the history of the state.
The total assessed valuation of the
stato Is $934,382,374, an Increase of
4.270.fS5 over last year, and, despite
this increase, there will be a levy of
at least 5 mills as against a levy of
1.4S mills last year. -
T!sy appropriations and other expen
ditures of the last Legislature, which
must be paid from the taxes to be col
lected, next year, are responsible for
the increase. It Is estimated that
$l.?0O.OC will be needed for state pur
poses. The amount this year was
ei.122.214.4s.
Letlea) te Be I alform.
Th last Legislature, however, passed
a law giving the Commission power to
anticipate such expenditures and as a
result levies in the future will be more
uniform.
The full cash value of all public
service corporations in the state Is

$172.S52,4j1 last year, and the tax

OREGONIAN ANNUAL, JAN
UARY 1.
Following a custom of many
years' standing. The Orejronian,
on January 1, 1914. will issue a
review of the year's progress in
Oregon. This special edition
will be large and profusely illus
trated, calling attention to com
mercial and industrial develop
ment, to important legislation
that lias been enacted and to
gains along edncational and so
cial lines.
As usual the Annual will hare
one outstanding feature. This
year it will b; ocean shipping
and the importance of an open
and deeper Columbia River to
all that va--t area included in the
Columbia River Basin. Men who
are best informed will contribute
signed articles telling what has
been accomplished in improving
the river at its entranee and on
the upper stretches, including
the channel to Portland and the
Celilo Canal, which is nearing
completion. The necessity of
this work, in view of the ap
proaching opening of the Pan
ama Canal, will be emphasized.
In all of its departments the
Annual will be thorough and
authoritative. More than 80 citi
zens w hose names arc well known
throughout the state will con
tribute to its columns. A com
plete statistical review will be
among the valuable features. In
every way, both as to test and
illustrations, the Annual will
maintain its reputation as the
greatest medium for the adver
tising of Oregon, her resources,
opportunities and development.
DYNAMITE LAID ON TRACK
Investigation Bclnjr Made by Rail
way Agent Near C'ornclins.
CORNELIUS. Or, Deo. 1. (Special.)
How a stick of dynamite came to be
placed on th'e Oregon Electric tracks
just this Side of Varley. and less than
a mile from Cornelius, Is a mystery
that special agents of the Oregon Elec
tric are trying to solve.
C. C Beers, a farmer, found the dy
namite, broken In several pieces, lyln.
beside a rail, and reported the matter
to the company.
Although the force of a single stick
might not have been great enough to
causo loss of a life. It would have been
sufficient to derail the cars, if a train
passed over.
Two years ago several sticks of dy
namite were placed on the tracks near
Beaverton, and the facta in that case
have never been cleared up.
Special Agent Ltllia hns been con
ducting an investigation in the vicinity
of Cornelius, and every effort haa been
mado to keep the affair quiet.

BINGHAM. Utah. Dec 1. Whether
Ralph Lopez, the slsyer of five peace

dead In the Utah-Apex mine, or
whether, avoiding tho deadly gases In
the mine, he still planned a dash for
liberty, waa a question unanswered to
night. Knowing his resourcefulness, there
waa no let-up in the watchfulness at
the tunnel' mouths, on which search
lights were trained while the sheriffs
of seven counties and their acores of
deputlea kept unrelenting guard.
PoUoaewa Gases Ceatlaued.
Since early morning, through open
ings In the bulkheads constructed at
each of the tunnel mouths, poisonous
gases have been directed. Tonight an
automobile, carrying 1000 pounds of
sulphur was rushed here from Salt
Lake City In order to keep the smudges
going until a fresh supply-arrived on
the train tomorrow morning. In ad
dltlon to sulphur all the chemicals!
capable of generating poisonous gases
that could be obtained here were being
used In the smudges.
The only word from Lopez today
came early this afternoon when he ap
proached the bulkhead at the mouth
of the Andy tunnel and called for
his friend, Julio Corrello. When asked
what he wanted, he called again for
Corrello, but before the latter arrived

SALEM AGAIN IS

Above 700.
LOSERS EXPECTED TO CONTEST
Pendleton Turns Down Com
mission Form Heavily.
CITY POLLS HEAVIEST VOTE
Larly Returns Indicate Complete
Rout or Socialists at Albany.
Women Active In Many Cities
but Vote Light Generally.
SALEM. Or, Dec. 1. (Special.) For
the second time In one month the anti
saloon clement lias made a clean
sweep in this city, the amendment to
the city charter to prevent the licens
ing of saloons having won at the elec
tion today by a majority of about 70".
The majority for local option at tho
November election was 1ST.
Rxplanatlon of the Increased major
ity Is that the saloonincn did nut mako
aa determined a fight at the election
today as at the other one. and that they
bavo determined to make their final
stand In the courts. Every ward iu
the city gave a majority for ttc amend
ment. In Ward 1. It. N. Hoover, "dry" can
didate defeated William Gilchrist,
"wet candidate, by a majority of 6
and James UcClellan, "dry" candidate,
defeated W. 1L Dalrymplc, "wet can
didate, by a safe majority.
The only other charter amendment,
besides that to prevent the licensing
of saloons, that appears to have car
ried is that providing for public play
grounds. One providing for a three
mill tax levy for street and highway
maintenance was defeated by a large
majority.
When it became evident that the
charter amendment had been carried by
a large majority, the liquor Interests
declined to say what action would ba
taken in an effort to keep the saloons
open. They will hold" a conference with
their attorneys tomorrow and it Is not
Improbable that a mandamus suit will
be brought to compel the City Council
to Issue licenses on the ground that the
ordinance providing that persons reg
istered uuder the permanent registra
tion law, which was declared Invalid
by the Supreme Court, could vote today
upon showing their certificates of reg
istration, is Illegal.
Legal Coa teat Proaalaed.
There also is a report that the saloon
Interests mill file suit to enjoin the
City Recorder from issuing an oidur
declaring the reault of the election to
day. The failuro of the City Council at a
meeting tonight to renew the saloon
licenses which expired last Saturday
night Indicates that such action will
not tc taken. An adjournment was
taken until tomorrow night without
any business having been considered.
It is evident that the saloonmen pin
their greatest faith in eventually win
ning on the outcome of the suit to have
the November election for local option
declared Illegal. Circuit Judge Gallo
way so held, basing his opinion upon
i contention that the election should
have been held on the date of a reg
ular state election, or a regular city
election, the November election being
a special one for the reference of state
measures.
Coart IJeelaloa Awaited.
He held that the time for a regular
city election was the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November.
It probably also will be contended by
the saloonmen that the election for the
amendment to the city charter, pro
hibiting the licensing of saloons, should
be held at the time of a regular city
election.
It became evident early in the count
that the amendment had carried by a
large majority. The Third Ward, which
gave a majority of 23 against prohibi
tion at the November election, gave a
majority of 29 for the amendment to
day. Other wards showed similar
gains, and the saloonmen were not Ion-;
in admitting their defeat. The election
was a quiet one, and there was no dis
order at any of the voting places.

PENDLETON. Or, Dec 1. (Speci;.l.)
After one of the most spirited elec
tions In the history of Pendleton, tho
commission form of government wus
defeated today by nearly 200 votes.
The First Ward gave a majority of
one vote for the new charter. Yb
other wards gave decisive majorities
against it, though one precinct in the
Fourth Ward was 133 to 124 for Ite
adoption.
The vote was heavy today and many
who bad neglected to register were
sworn in at the polls. It is estimated
that more than 1400 votes were polled.
Many were women.
