REACTION BOUND TO COMI PERISH IN SIGHT OF RESOUE. ing Lake bteamer Grand Haven. Mich . May 11.— Five lives were lost and 75 people had a perilous escape from death the when the steamer Naomi, , of t Company. Crosby Transportation burned early today tn the middle of Lake Michigan, while on her night trip from here to Milwaukee. Four of the victims were coal passer». pen ned down in the forecaatel by the flames, where many of the rescued passengers from the decks of the freighter Kerr and the steamer Kan- ass saw them at the portholes, vain- ly imploring for help. J. M. Rhodes, a passenger from He Detroit, was the fifth victim, was terribly burned In his berth and died soon after reaching the hospi tal at Grand Rapids. Fifty passengers snd all of the crew except four coal passers were taken off in small boats by the steam er Stratford and the Kansas, which was en route from Milwaukee to Grand Haven The loss to the Na omi, which was In comnmand of Cap tain Traill, ta estimated at *225.000. The fire started in the vicinity of the kitchen, between decks, and spread so rapidly that the whole ship was a seething furnace before the crew could get the fire apparatus working. Fire swept the whole length of the ship and the upper works burned like tinder. It is con sidered miraculous that the passen gers all but one escaped. Many of them were taken off In their night clothes, while scarcely any one was more than partly clad. Captain Thomas Traill was the last man to leave the steamer alive, and his clothing was almost burned off him. Sol Waterman, of New York, said “Never will I forget the picture of those poor fellows in the forecastle who were burned. The ship was a mass of flames. Suddenly the four men who had been asleep in the fore castle thrust their heads from the portholes and called for help. The captain of the freight steamer or dered a lifeboat to go to their aid. The boat went, but the men were un able to squeeze their bodies through the portholes. We could hear them calling pitifullly for help and see them through the flames, but the lifeboat crew came back and report ed it could not reach them. The cap tain ordered the boat to return and got the names of the men. Then we could hear the questions and an swers as the men told their names and residences. Finally one man called out. "Good bye: I'm gone," and fell back into the flames." ULHHV BLASON OPlNS Hood R vsr Valiev Thronged With Pics era of Many Kinds. Hood River—For the first time tn two years Hood River will have a characteristic strawberry season, with all Its attendant rush and ex citement. For two seasons the river has not been high enough tor boata to land at the town and deliver their merry cargoes of berry pickers from both up and down the river, This year there is high water. The boats began landing at the town today, and from now on until the season ends. Indians. school teachers, residents of Portland and towns lu the Willam ette Valley and along the Columbia River will pour into Hood River tor the berry season. Hood River mer chants always expect a brisk busi ness during the berry season. In some years more money Is realised from strawberries than apples, and the returns being quicker, it gets to circulation at once. Pickers who are adept and industrious earn from *2 to *3 per day, and some as high as *3.50. A ride through the valley during the season shows strawberry fields everywhere dotted with pick ers in a variety of picturesque garbs, from girls tn blue overalls to the stately Indian in hla flamiug red blanket or head dress.
