W. F. Butcher, candidate for con

Impossible to Ascertain as Yet Who
the Dead Are and the Number of
Lives Lost The Steamer Burned
to Water's Edge Searching for the
Bodies.
Cairo, 111., April 21. A blackened,
misshaped wreck, lying on tho Ken
tucky shore, 18 miles above this
city, is all that is left today of the
handsome steamer, tho City of Pitts
burg, which was burned to the
water's edge Sunday morning. The
ruins are still too hot to search for
the entombed bodies. Scores of pas
sengers and members of tho crew
were caught like rats in a trap and
roasted alive. It is still Impossible
to ascertain the actual number of
the dead.
The burning of tho vessel 1b ac
counted as one of the worst river dis
asters in recent years. The panic
that followed the fire was such as
was seldom before witnessed on a
river steamer. The people rushed in
every direction, some jumped
through the windows onto tho deck
and then into the river, not even
stopping to put on life preservers
It is now estimated that about 60
persons perished.

Beals Is back from! his trip to oast
orn Oregon, says the Portland Tolo

dlcton, Weston, La Grande, Wolsor

serving stations and ascertained tho
needs of each.
At Welser Mr. Beals mado arrange
ments for installing a now river
gunge oin tho Snake river, tho old
guago having been washed away by
an Ice jam last winter. Tho guago Is.
used in taking the measurements of
the rise and fall of tho river, and is
of considerable value to tho depart
ment In making reports of tho rlvor's
heights in tho spring. Tho river has
not risen any to speak of this spring.
Mir. Beals mado somo lengthy in
quiry into tho crop conditions, and
learned that whllo tho season Is
somewhat backward, wheat and fruit
are in a promising state, and with
a Bingle exception no injury from tho
frost has occurred. In Umatilla tho
wheat was badly frozen out last win
ter, but a now crop has been seeded
and it has a good start, so tho farm
ers in that section aro qulto hopeful.

years ago this coming harvest and a
few days ago John Hlndorman, who
was plowing up tho samo field whore
the watch was lost, found it. Ho
picked up tho watch not knowing
whoso it was or how long it had
been there. Mr. Hlndorman knocked
tho dirt off tho caso and started to
wind it. As soon bb the watch was
wound it began to run and has boon
