Levi Snyder and nine survivors of the wrecked Argo on Tillamook beach laBt week, arrived here today1 on the lighthouse tender Manzanita fiom the Columbia lightship where they took the refugees early Satur day morning. Coincident -with the arrival of the survivors in thjs port were rumors that the official investi gation trial will produce a sensation. Captain Levi Snyder, formerly of the Coquille, and eight others ship wrecked in the Argo disaster at Til lamook last Friday1, who had been, given up as dead, were saved in a miraculous manner, according to stories appearing in the Portland pa pers reaching here today. The news conies as highly gratifying to the many friends of Capt. Snyder, his brother, .1. H. Snyder and Purser Stimpson and Mate Johnson, the lat ter two having formerly been mem bers of the Alliance crew. Andrew Wickman of the Southern Oregon Company, stated today that ho expects to leave on the Alliance for Astoria and Tillamook in hopes of being able to recover the body of his brother, Henry Wickman, who was drowned while going to the Ar go's aid. Aside from the message announcing the fatality and another one Sunday night that the body had not been found, ho has had no in formation from there. Astoria dispatches give the follow ing particulars of the rescue of Captain Snyder and his crew and of the Argo disaster: "Providence intervened in the bat tle which Captain Snyder, with nine o'f his crew, and Tony Delborte, a passenger of the wrecked ship Argo, had waged for seven hours with death, and at the moment when hope was abandoned a lifelino from the lightship Columbia guided the wreck victims to safety. "It was 9 o'clock Friday night when tho steamer Argo, bound from Portland to Tillamook, crashed into Double Headed rock, midway be tween Til amook bay and Nehalem, on the Oregon coas.t It lacked but a few minutes until 9 o'clock when Captain Snyder, forewarned, ordered the crew and passengers of the Argo to take to the two lifeboats. Mate J A. Johnson commanded the first boat, in which were the Argo's pas sengers and a part of the crew. Cap tain Snyder commanded the second boat, containing the crew and one passenger. ' "Aid came to Mate Johnson's boat within two hours after it had put off from the ill-fated Argo, when the steamer Oshkosh rescued Johnson and his passengers. Captain Sny der's boat, buffeted by heavy seas and strong winds, was swept out to sea, and it was not until 4 o'clock Saturday morning that the flght with the waves was ended, when the boat drifted alongside .the lightship Columbia, 12 miles off the Colum bia river bar, to the west. Tho news t the rescue, of Captain Snyder's boat was brought to Astoria by the bar tug Wallula, which reported that she had been signaled through the megaphone by tho lightship and learned that the master of the Argo and hh crew were safe. Because of heavy seas, It was Impossible for the Wallula to get near the lightship, "With the rescue of Captain Sny dei"'s br,at, the list of wreck victims diminishes to threo persons 13-year-old Anna Hunter, of Napa, Cal.; 'rs L.

The Union Republican Club smoker Intended as a preliminary to the call for a $,tito assembly received an awakening jolt from Judge Henry E. McGinn, ll may be that President S. C. Pini, who invited Judge McGinn to speak, referring to him lovingly as "one of the best Republicans in Oregon," d'.d not know, "it was loaded" who'i he got the old time Simon warhm-30 headed towards his little band of loyal followers. Judge McGinn began his speech by saying that he desired to thank the. club for its fairness in Inviting him to speak, because he presumed that the officials and members knos" that he believed In the primary stv, in Statement No. 1, in the Init.-ifvi' laid referendum, the methods of prjs;iots and was opposed to the assembly and the reversion to old conditions. Primary Law Necessary. "The direct primary law came to us as the result of the most corrupt politics any state has ever known," continued the judge. "If there had over been an honest election of United States senator, or an uncon trolled convention, or decent pol itics of any kind under the old sys tem, there would have been no di rect primary law, no Statement No. 1, no initiative and referendum. These things are the result of the protest of the people against the rot tenness of the old plan and the old politics and the old leaders of tho state. I know this, you all know It, It know It because I was a part of It, be it said to my shame. I, as a young man, went through the school of the old system and I do not want to see any young man of the present day go through the same experiences that I went through before the pass ing of the old regime and the com ing of the new. For that reason, if for nothing else, I am against the assembly and what It means. "We all know that people used to be bought on the streets of the city here for $2.50 each. We know that men high in life were engaged in tho work. Refers to Old Scenes. "I remember the scene in Wood ward's hall when Joseph Simon and Charles H. Carey came to blows over the control of tho convention being held there. I remember when Larry Sullivan and his shotgun kept tho voters from the booths. I re member when George H. Williams was not allowed to cast his ballot. "Because of these things we got the primary law, because no one could name a convention that was not corrupt and not controlled for tho selfish Interests of some man or set of men. "I do not want to see the. Repub lican party in the hands of any self appointed saviours. If it is right it will need no saviours. If it is wrong Its saviours will not save It. And I want to know what you mean by 'Republicans' In your talk about the assembly, or the convention, and tho support of its dictates. If you mean tho Aldrlches, the Paynes, the Cannons, then I am not a Repub lican and never will be; If you mean the Beverldges, tho La Follettes, tho Hughes, the Rooslts of the par ty, then I am a Republican, and no man can read mo out of my party. I stand for the progress of the party, for its advances, nor for its retro gression. Party Disrupted Itself.

A mixup over the engagement ol the Marshfield band for Monday eve ning by tho opposing factions in city politics for next Monday evening was harmoniously adjusted last eve ning at a meeting at the Straw head quarters. Hugh McLaln said that they had started out for a harmoni ous campaign and that ho thought the haimony ought to be extended to the musical organization as well and a resolution was passed where by the Straw forces waived their claim to tho organization. Tho ac tion was taken to relieve J. Albert Matson from what threatened to be an ambarrasslng situation. McLaln explained that the mlxup happened something like this: Mr. Matson, who Is manager of the band, was in the barber shop getting shav ed when Tom Nicols popped his head In the door and called "Albert, tho band is engaged for Monday night." "All right," retorted Mr. Matson. Tho latter stepped outside and met C. F. McKnlght who Informed him that the Straw forces wanted the band for their Monday night rally. "All right, I was Just told of It," responded Mr. Matson. Then, it slid along until Mr, Matson dis covered that Tom Nicols had spoken for tho band for the I. S. Smith rally Instead of tho Straw rally and then thoro were things doing. However, when the situation was explained, they began to see the humor of It I GAUGliS THIS EVENING CITIZENS NOW E TICKET Peter Loggie Heads New Fac tion In North Bend's City Politics. At a meeting at Loggie's hall last evening, the Citizens Ticket for the North Bend municipal election was formally launched, tho following be ing nominated: For mayor Peter Loggie. For councilmen Manley M. Strawn of the North Bend Mercan tile Company, Edgar McDanlel of tho North Bend Harbor and J. A. Jacobson, a North Bend furniture dealer. The meeting was largely attended, between 125 and 150 being in at tendance. Addresses were made by a dozen or more, Peter Loggie and L. A. Frye delivering tho principal talks. Tho meeting adopted the platform announced by Peter Log gie a few days ago as tho platform of the ticket. H. I. Reese was chairman of the meeting and L. Henschel secretary. Tho ticket stands for a liberal pol icy In municipal government and for a continuation of tho municipal im provements that have beon started or projected and instead of raising all the money required for this pur pose directly by taxation, to float a bond issue and allow tho improve ments to earn and pay tho cost. It was decided not to take up the city recordershlp or city treasurer ship. For recorder, it seems that A. II. Derbyshire will bo without op position for reelection and tho treas urershlp will be adjusted by the two banks, probably either J. II. Gardi ner or W. S. WInsor being tho only candidate.

SIMPSON'S STOCK IS PICKING UP Rumor That Kinney Forces Will Rally Around Him Citizens' Ticket. The North Bend city caucus this evening promises to be the, scene of some of the liveliest fireworks that have ever been touched off on tho Bay in connection with tho great American game. There will be yel low lights, white lights and plenty of red fire, according to the state ments In North Bend this afternoon. Unless something unexpected hap pens, Judge Guorry will be chosen for chairman of the caucus. It is last understood that the meeting night at which the Citizens' ticket was chosen, indorsed him and so far as known he is satisfactory to tho other factions. L. J. Simpson and his supporters have been throwing themselves Into the fray with their might and main today, and those who thought that Mr. Simpson might suffer from apathy on account of his resigning before the expiration of his previous term, are likely to get a severe jolt. There was considerable betting that "L. J." or "Louie," as they all call him in North Bend, will be one of the two nominees of tho caucus. Second place, according to the bet ting, lies between A. W. Myers and Poter Logglo. However, It is all pretty much up In the air, and some wild guesses aro being hazarded all tho way around. It Was reported this afternoon that Major Kinney's following was swing ing over to Simpson and thero was a rpport current that Major Kinney would personally retire in favor of Mr, Simpson at tho caucus this eve ning. , Tho caucus is called for 7:30. At 1:30 this afternoon, City Re corder Derbyshire had registered 421, a considerably larger number than qualified for tho city election last time. Another report that was adding to the Interest In the caucus this after noon was that Rev. Dan Shannon would personally endeavor to parti cipate in tho caucus. Mrs. Shannon will speak at tho revival meeting this evening In plnco of Mr. Shan non. Those opposing tho Btand that Mr. Shannon has takon, declare that ho will not be allowed a voice in tho caucus on the grounds that he Is, a non-resident. JAPS RETURN HOME.
