THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND SUNDAY MORNING. APRIL 18, i 1915. 12 'DOOMED TO STAY IN SUBMARINE,' WROTE SAILOR ABOARD F-4 James L Colwell, Seattle Man., Unconsciously Pre dicted His Fate. HAD GREAT DEAL TROUBLE Jitney Bi Drivers Axe Up In Aimi Against Own Organisation. Seattle. April 17. The Ill-fated sub marine F-4 as in such condition as to cause fear of her among; the men who made up her crew, according to James Ij. Colwell, of this city, whose son, Iiarley Colwell, was chief electrl- - clan on the craft. In less than a month before he lost his life, the young man in a letter to his father here unconsciously pre dicted the fate that was to be his. The letter was dated February 27 of this year. " "I am doomed, it seems," he wrote, "to stay in the submarines the rest of my life. They cannot hold me here longer than 1916, and then, if I can arrange it, I am going to try to get on one of the submarines in Seattle.", ' This letter was received by MrQ coiwen dui a lew nays ueiore ino r -1 sunk near the entrance to Honolulu harbor. .Young. Colwell's letters tell trouble with the macninery of F-4 as far back as July, 19 13. wrote frequently of mishaps to machinery which necessitated the F-4 being put in drydock very often. He wrote, July 23. 1914, of the F-4 having "to hobble around from port to port on account of engine trouble." It was February of last year that Colwell wrote his parents he had left his quarters on the boat to live ashore, saying he did not like it aboard any more than Was necessary to do his work. He intimated to his par ents that to remain aboard was dan gerous though he dkl not state it in : that way. : The last letter received from the young man by his parents was date.1 March 10, less than two weeks before ; the F-4 was lost. It was not received until after news of the sinking had been told. It was of the same tone as numerous other letters he had written home. Colwell enlisted In the navy in 190S in Seattle. or the He the ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY RICH IN NATURAL RESOURCES BBH,,,, sSssSSSSSSSSSSMSSSSSl BSSSSBSSSSSI -----a-. .- ' 1 " " -- j " aV": :'i -:- x, i i . 4, ' i 4 : I :.f, w ,, 11 - , ' - 'v ! . , , i V - --" '-.'' - ;1B Win tgaaawnpymt Jitney bus drivers have rebelled against their own organization, the Seattle Auto Transit association, be cause of the system of its board of directors of advocating $2500 bonds for jitney drivers, as required by stata law, which is to be attacked by the referendum if the supreme court per mits. ' An act was passed by the last leg islature requiring that Jitney buses must obtain liability bonds so that the passengers riding in the bus might be protected if injured by accident. This bill carried an emergency clause. making it become law April 17 instead of in June. The jitney drivers ap . pealed to the supreme court to test out the emergency. If the court rules the' bill was an emergency the refer endum cannot be evoked against it. In the meantime the officers of the Seattle Auto Transit. association have demanded that the drivers take out the bonds with a coast concern which ; Is Writing them in Northwest cities. One hundred and five drivers rebelled, however, holding a meeting of their own, and organized a new association to be known as the Auto Drivers as sociation. The Insurgents charged i that the old association was not working for their interests.

The Il linois valley was one of the first set tled districts of southern Oregon, yet1 it is today one of the most undevel oped districts. Gold was discovered there in the very early fifties, and soon a rush of fortune hunters from the fields of California gave it a pop ulation that numbered thousands. Kerbyville, later the county seat of Josephine county, became the metrop olis, and the river upon which It was located and from which the valley takes Its name, ran yellow with the mud washed into it from a thousand placer mines. Some of the smaller tributaries of the Illinois,, notably Jo sephine and Canyon creeks. . are re puted to have paid a million dollars to the mile for several miles of their length, and fabulous strikes were made. Every- year since the Illinois valley mines have sent out a constant stream of golden wealth, though the palmy days of the pocket hunter are nearly gone, and Kerbyville, now Kerby, shorn of its former glory as a metropolis and as the county seat, is a village of a few score people. A . new day is dawning for Kerby and for the Illnois valley, however. Placer gold could be mined and taken to market, though the means of trans portation be by muleback. but the de velopment of the quartz mine and the copper deposits, the logging of the pine, fir and redwood, and the Inten sive farming of the fertile vales and creek and river bottoms must await the coming of rail transportation. And rail transportation Is now assured with the announcement that Twohy Top, left to right View of the Illinois river near Kerby; mining for gold near Waldo. Bottom, left to right Map showing railroad route from Grants Pass, Or., to Crescent City, Cal., via Illinois River valley. Only locomotive on first unit of Oregon & California Coast Line. Brothers of. Portland have taken over the contract for the completion of the Oregon & California Coast railroad, the line that Grants Pass, under the leadership of Dr. J. F. Reddy, has been striving for two years to promote and finance. This line will find tide water at Crescent City, Cal., 90 miles from Grants Pass, and the country that it traverses is rich in its possibilities of tonnage. The Illinois valley Is about midway on the route between Grants Pass and the coast terminal, and It has been termed the richest in resources of any section of the Pa ciflo northwest yet untouched by rail road. Ten miles of the proposed road to the coast has already been built by the city of Grants Pass, which voted a bond Issue of $200,000 for this purpose. This first unit extends from the cen ter of the city to Wilderville, on the Applegate river. So much did the building of even this small line stimu late business and industry that two sawmills are now In course of con struction on the banks of the- Rogue river in this city. With the continu ance of the line Into the Illinois val ley and through to the coast many mills will spring into being, and mines, with the ore already blocked out and waiting means of transportation to the smelters, will be come alive with activity. The possibilities or the Illinois val ley In an agricultural way are just as great as are its possibilities In mining and lumbering. The floor of the main valley Itself, as of its tributaries, es pecially Sucker and" Deer creek val leys, is of the most fertile soil. There is ample water from the numerous mountain streams that come down from the snow capped ranges that hedge it about ' to amply Irrigate the vast tracts susceptible of cultivation. Today it is largely given over to stock raising and dairying, the 40 mile haul to the railroad at Grants Pass or 60 mile haul to the coast making the pro duction of fruit and grain unprofit able. With rails connecting it with the outside world, the Illinois valley will become an empire within Itself, picturesque and inviting, rimmed about by mountains, and with a climate un equaled in the clearness of its atmos phere, and the balm of its summer sun shine.
