THE SU2TOAY OEEGOiNIA, POKHB, NOVEMBER 20, 1904. 1 HANDS ARE LOST larkentine Makaweli Piles Up on Vancouver island. CARRIED crew fifteen hen pLumbw-Laden Vessel -From Tacoma Believed to Have Turned Turtle In Great Sterm That Rage'd Along the. Coast. A great storm is raging along the Pacific Coast from British Columbia to the California line. Reports received from many localities, even far inland, tell of the great Telocity of the wind and, of heavy rain storms. In some places the Trlnd attained a speed, of 100 miles an hour, and few points T report less than 85 miles an hour. At the -mouth of the Columbia River the wind blew 90 miles an hour, churning the ocean into a foam and roughening the sea so that shipping was com pletely tied up, commanders fearing to risk their vessels in attempting to cross out. Like conditions are re ported from all along the Coast, ves sels being storm-bound at every port on the British Columbia, "Washington and Oregon -Coasts. Only one marine disaster involving great loss of life and property had been reported up to midnight, the San Francisco barkentine llakawell, lumber-laden from Tacoma for Mazatlan, Mexico, belnr lost on the west coast of Vancouver Island with all on board. Further reports of marine disasters are expected. CTORIA, B. a, Nov. 19. The barken- je Makawell, Captain Neilson, lumber- len from Tacoma to Mazatlan, Mexico, 5as foundered on the west coast of Van- rcouver Island, at Clayoquot, all hands perishing. The Makawell left Tacoma Oc tober 30, passed Tatoosh on October 31, and was not again heard of until the re port arrived from Clayoquot this after noon announcing her loss. The Makawell was built at Oakland, Cal., In 1902, was 821 tons net and was managed by Hind, Rolph & Co., of San Francisco. News of the loss of the vessel was brought down by the steamer Queen City. An Indian at Clayoquot, while searching for wreckage near Leonard Island, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, came upon the stern of a large vessel, badly shattered, as if it had been pounded off in a storm. He also found a life buoy marked "Makawell, H. R. & Co., San Francisco." All over the shore were strewn rough and dressed lumber, which looked from the markings as if it had formed part of a ship s cargo. Later news from Clay oquot reports Immense quantities of lum ber coming ashore all along the coast. It Is believed by seafaring men along the coast that the Makawell was overloaded on deck and turned turtle In the terrific gales of the 15th, 16th and 17th, insts., which swept the coast from the entranca to the Strait of Fuca to Cape Scott. The Makawell has not -been reported Trom any part of the coast as having been seen standing off, and as all parts of the coast are constantly fished by the Indians, it Is believed that she drove In during the night and met destruction on the reefs of Leonard. Island, her whole crew of over a dozen white men perish ing in the tremendous seas that were run- inlng there. Owing to. this heavy sea. fhere Is little chance of any remains of derelict escaping absolute dlslntegra- lon among the reefs and rocks. SAN FRANCISCO. ,Nov. 19. A dispatch ! to the Merchants' Exchange from Vlc- Storia, B. C, says that the bark Makawell has been wrecked off the west coast of Vancouver Island and that her crew is lost. The Makawell is owned In this city. The dispatch from Victoria says that the beach Is strewn with lumber from the wreck. The owners of the Makawell say she was coal-laden and they think that an error has been made In identifying the wreck. The Makawell sailed from Ta coma October 31 for Mazatlan. She had a crew of about 15. STEAMERS SUNK AT WHARVES Great Damage Done by the Storm at New Westminster. NEW WESTMINSTER. B. C, Nov. IS. (Special.) A terrible storm raged all day from the southeast.

In one of these the officials found 13 traps with false bottoms, which could be raised when full of fiBh. From each of these traps 500 fish were taken the day the offlcialsferrived. This practice had been going or. for years, and the wonder is that the salmon had not been killed out altogether.

This may read as though we were put ting It a little strong, because it is genr erally thought by the majority of people that dyspepsia In Its chronic form Is In curable or practically so. But we- have long since shown that dyspepsia Is cur able, nor Is It such a difficult matter as at first appears. The trouble with dyspeptics is that they are continually dieting, starving them selves, or going to opposite extreme, or else deluging the already overburdened stomach with "bitters," "after-dinner pills," etc., which Invariably increase the difficulty, even If In some cases they do give a slight, temporary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What the stomach wants Is a rest Nowi how can the stomach be come rested, recuperated, and at the same time the body nourished and sustained? This is a great secret, and this is 'also the secret of the uniform success of- Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets. This Is a com paratively new remedy, but Its success and popularity leaves no doubt as to its mgrlt. Ahe Tablets will digest the food any way, regardless of condition qt stomach The sufferer from Dyspepsia, according to directions, is to eat an abundance of good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal, and the result will be that the food will be digested, no matter how bad your Dyspepsia, may be. because, as before stated, the tablets will digest the food, even It the stomach la wholly Inactive. To illustrate our mean ing plainly. If you take 18C0 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place It in a temperature of 96 degrees, and put with It one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, It will digest the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as if the meat was enclosed within the stomach. The stomacn may be ever so weak, yet these tabletswill perform the work of di gestion, and the body and the brain will be properly nourished, and at the time a radical, lasting cure of Dyspepsia will be made because the much-abused stomach wilbbo given, to some extent, a much needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that, of all the many remedies ad vertised to cure Jjyspepela. ix of the-m have given so complete attd geaeral satis faction as Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets, and not least . in Importance la these "hard times la the fact Mat they -are alee the cheapest as-d give the meet'geecL fer- the least JBoaey.
