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."

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

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
