FATE OF 20 ON
WRECKED SHIP
STILL UNKNOWN
Seattle ) The fate of twenty
men aboard the fur schooner Ellsif
wu shrouded in Arctic silence Mon
day after the reported wrecking of
the vessel last Saturday,
Concllcttng radio messages from
the region off North Cape In the
Bering sea, where the El Is If was
last reported, said the schooner
had been wrecked either by being
crushed from ice floes or by being
pushed on the beach. The mes
sages said the men were safely off
the ship and none was believed to
have been hurt In the reported
Another unconfirmed radio said a
Russian steamer named Stavatoll
was heading for the marooned men.
although how close she was to them
was . unknown.
What preparation the erew of the
Elislf had against the arctic weath
er was not revealed in the meager
reports received here. However,
mariners thought it probable that
enough supplies had been saved off
the ship to prevent too great hard
ships among the survivors.
The Ellsif left Seattle under the
command of Captain Olaf Swenson,
of the Swenson Trading company,
July 10, 1928 and a few weeks later
was tee bound. She was freed from
the tee only two weeks ago on July
31, 1929, and was reported to be
proceeding toward Siberia.
Historic Buildings Burn
At Independence Sunday;
Racing Landmarks Vanish
Independence Fire believed to have started from ciga
rettes destroyed the historic buildings at the race track
about noon Sunday. Adjoining property was menaced by
grass fire and the department, aided by volunteers with
sacks and buckets of water, had difficulty in getting the fire
under control. The old barns were located on the west side
of the Henry Hill estate and used
only for sheltering stock. It
has
been 15 years or so since they were
used for their original purpose.
About 30 years ago a race track
association was organized here and
owing to the quality of the soil, was
considered one of the fastest tracks
In the country and many records
for race horses were established
here.
In 1905 these buildings were
erected as also was a large grand
stand. The grand stand, blew down
a few years ago with a high wind.
But Sunday's fire brings memories
of days when the Independence
Driving club was known from Mex
ico to British Columbia. Such men
as William Perclval, C. A. Mc
Laughlin, J. W. Klrkland. P. M.
and Johnnie Klrkland, S. B. and
W. H. Walker, many of whom have
passed away. These were the men
who organized and kept the Driv
ing club alive for many years.
There Is yet In the community,
some of the running stock whose
sires and dams made records on the
old jrace track, but the buildings are
now In ruins.

11 BRIDGES ON
ELKHORN ROAD
ARE REPAIRED
Phillip Fisher, bridge builder for
the county road department, was in
Salem Monday just back from the
Santlam country where he has fin
ished work of building or re
pairing 11 orldges up the Little
North Fork from a little this side
of Elkhorn on Into the mining
country at the end of the road.
He states that four bridges were
entirely rebuilt and that consider
able repair was made on all the
other seven. There are some very
high bridges on this mountain road
where they span canyons carrying
little streams down into the North
Fork.
From about a mile this side of i
Henllne creek on Into the end of
the roadway a little above Gold
Creek, a distance of about 14 miles,
the road is all a one way road, but
he states It is maintained In pretty
good shape for a mountain road.
The principal object of the road Is
to serve the mines, forest rangers,
tourists and fishermen. The road
is a necessity for the forest ward
ens.
Fisher will take his crew this
week up onto the Ankeny-fiidney
road which is now being improved
a market road and where a
number of new bridges are required
on the new alignment of this highway.

He touched off everybody In the
place with a few strokes. Two
young men lived In the bungalows
at Passage on the other side of tnc
creek. Anderson Royle's father had
pots of , money which young Royle
helped to burn. He specialized In
racing motor boats. Royle had at
tacked Martin Somerfield, a young
American who did motor boating
records. He lived In the second
bungalow.
Anr then there were the Sea-
brokes. Pell gave a most accurate
and lntertaining sketch of the com
mander. His account of Miss Sea
broke was vaguer and more con
strained.
It was on Mr. Fothertaury and
Newplace that Pell enlarged most
freely. Newplace had been a Dan-
done by its ancient owneds. Mr.
Fotherburv had bought it three
year ago when the last of the Red-
Mad cs found himself compelled to
part with It.
The Redslade family, who had
owned New place, became poorer
and poorer In late years, and
finally could not afford to keep up
the establishment at all. This very
house at Wood cot was the refuge
for the last Redslade, reputed to be
a gambler who had died a suicide.
Mr. Fotherburv. some time alter
entering Into possession, had found
the substratum of Roman remains.
Pell himself was Interested in Ro
man things, and fond of digging,
he had come down to lend Fother-
bury a hand.
Then there was a vignette of Dr.
Eastlay. And. of course, Pother-
tury's chaplain. Mr. Marling, whose
church and house were Inside the
walls of Newplace.
And thus and thus, snaenuy ne

fuse.
