Those who were thrown into the . I 1 water managed in many cases to seize wreckage and hold i'L t on till rescued by the boats from the other steamers. Un- occupied rafts were picked up by the Roanoke and the schooner Daisy imxcncii. Captain Doran proved himself a brave mariner and. although he knew that It was doomed to deatruotlon within a very few moments, he remained at hi post and directed the attempts of the crew to save the lives of the passen gers. The time was too short, however, to accomplish much and the heroic cap tain lost his life In vain. The vessel filled rapidly after she wms struck, tons of water pouring through the great hols torn In her aide by the Ban Pedro's bow. She sank with taoredtble speed. When the water was within a few Inches of her upper deck she gave a quick lurch and went to the bottom of the sea like a chunk of lead. Boats and life rafts, which hsd been partly cast loose by the crewL were all wept far away by the quick sinking of the vessel, and many of them were beyond the reach of the people who were cast Into the sea. Some of the sur vivors managed to catch the rafts and were conveyed safely to shore. Survivors of the wreck suffered ter ribly before they wereplcked up by the steamer George W. Elden The night was cold, and drenched to the skin and clinging desperately to life rafts and bits of wreckage, their plight was piti able. Several went Insane through the horror of the catastrophe and attempted to Jump xrom the rafts Into the see, their lives only being saved by the re straining clutch of their companions. When the Elder hove In sight many of the unfortunates dropped to their knees and offered prayers of thanks giving. Others, frenited with Joy, danced jul snouted like maniacs. After being taken aboard the Elder the survivors of tne Ill-fated Columbia wars given dry clothing and food. The majority soon recovered from the 111 effects of their Involuntary plunge In the sea, although some were in bad shape when the steamer started for Eu reka. Sapor twain? Bodies. Up to noon the Eureka wire was still down and no definite word could be re ceived from that point Incoming vss Nli reported seeing the Elder entering Eureka harbor with survivors yester day morning. From the same Indefinite source the report was received that 100 persons survived the disaster. Passen gers on the Roanoke who saw the San Pedro while In tow of the Elder say that what appeared to be bodies of men and women, were seen on the decks of the Elder and San Pedro. Report also had it that Purser Burns was not drowned as was supposed. None of these reports could be verified. During the earthquake at San Fran cisco the Columbia was almost de stroyed In the drydock at the Union Iron Works, the blocks and stays that held her In place being dislodged and the ship careened, damaging her hull and upper works. Much money was re quired for repairs ana when the vessel went neck on her usual run she was In first-class condition. It was the Inten tion of the etesmahlp company to operate the Columbia In conjunction with the Lawton, which was recently purchased from the government. Tne Costa Rica was to be laid off from this run. SSa-a,. GOES DOWN WITH SHIP The Journal Educational Contest.

Memphis, Tenn., July 22. Federal Judge John McCall has decided that Standard OH officials must answer in his court for offenses committed within the boundaries of Tennessee regardless of the lucatlun of the headuuarters or tne company. Portland people, whose friends snd relatives were on board tha Columbia and who are supposed to have me death when the Ill-fated steamer went to the bottom, are anxiously awaiting definite news from Eureka regarding those who were taken thence by the George W. Elder. Out of the total of 88 survivors in Eureka, It is reported that 40 of these belonged to the ship's crew. Cap tain Doran being the only one of the members who lost his life. This would leave a balance of 48 saved from the list of passengers on board. With a large part of the survivors hoverinsr between life and death as result of their awful experience and their numbers scattered from one end of the city to the other in hospitals and private homes. It is not probable that the complete list of the saved will be known before tomorrow.

Official ad vices have been received here of a de cision of the secretary of the Interior which affects adversely about 160 eet- ers on the St. Joe river, many or whom have been in possession from hr to five vears. When tne govern ment survey was completed and the time came for the state to use Its prior right of selecting lands under govern ment grants, the state land had about exhausted its grants and In order to pro cure a base for filing on these lands it relinquished its school sections in the Coeur d'Alene Indian reservation, took lieu land scrip therefor and used this scrip to displace these settlers. The Northern Pacific also claimed the lands ou scrip and a three-cornered contest en sued. The state fought its own set tlers and the railroad fought the state. Attorneys for the settlers say they will now carry the case Into the federal court for final adjudication. The lands In controversy are heavily covered with white pine timber and have become very valuable, but they are not considered to be worth as much' as the lands the state relinquished, hence the action of the etata in surrendering these Coeur d'Alene lands, to which it had itinquestlorved title, for the purpose of taking chances in a fiirht for Ta An. : glrable lands It not understood here. - a year ago.

Elder. Steamship Offloes Besieged by Anxlons Ones. Everv effort Is being made to secure the names in order to pacify those who are besieging the steamship offices for word concerning the rate or reltlves and friends. J. H. Dewson, general agent of the San Francisco & Portland Steamship company of this city, received a dis patch at noon from Manager R. P. Schwerln stating that Captain Dunham of the steamship Roanoke, who brought the news to San Francisco, believes that 100 passengers were drowned and that 98 were saved by the steamship George W. Elder, Captain Jessen. Captain Dunham reports that com munication with the Elder was very difficult because of the high wind blow ing at the time, and he is also of the opinion that by reason of this fact the rescue work on the part of the officers and crew of the George W. Elder was extremely difficult. A Belative of X. B". nelscnner. Philip Gosllnsky of San Francisco, who was a passenger on the Columbia, is a brother of Mrs. I. N. Flelschner of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Flelschner, who went to Seaside last week, expected to meet Mr. Gosllnsky today at Astoria. Whether he is among the survivors ot the wreck is not yet known. Mrs. E. Harris, stewardess on the Co lumbia, who has many friends in Port land, was among those lost. Her home was in San Francisco. Frank Spencer, manager of the whole- ssle firm of Allen & I-ewls, narrowly escaped the fate which overtook the assengers on me uoiumDia. Mr. cencer had been in San Francisco on his wedding trip and he and his wife had made arrangements to take the Co lumbia on her trip north to Portland. Luckily he reached the docks to find that the steamer had departed and he and his bride came north by train, ar riving here this morning. Waltar Barely Missed rats.

He could undoubt edly have leaned Into one of the boats and saved his life had he not clung so tenaciously to tne neller that every true master will see his passengers safe or perish with the doomed ones. Captain Is Martyr. Captain Doran had a host of warm and devoted friends here who admire his heroism end believe he made him self a martyr to a cause he had alwavs sdvocated "to stay with ths ship to the last." Among CaDtaln Doran's closest friends In this cltv Is CaDtaln B. S. Ed wards. United States Inspector of hulls. Always when upon arriving here with the Columbia Captain Doran would call upon Mr. Edwards for a friendly chat. He would drop Into Mr. Edwards' office on his way to the office of the collector of customs where the vessel had to be entered and cleared, and would remain for an hour or two discussing current events. With this exception he would seldom leave his vessel. Was Writing- Book. During the past several month Cap- ad been devoting his spare FEAR FOR EDITOR'S Mother, Brother and Sister of R. D.
