The Death of Mrs. TtHN-ock Will Proh

Ashhury I'ark. Mitrch 2. The clrcum
slunre conm-cled with tho sudden death
of Mrs. Knthcrlne Hubcock about two
weeks ago will very likely be lnvcstlgatod
by the pollco authorities. Mrs. Hubcock
was an active worker In tho Woman's
Christian Temperance llnton. and Inst
fall was sent hs a delegate from Ocean
drove to tho national toniporance con
vimtlon In Dullimore. She died, aged 78,
a: the residence, of her adopted daughter,
on Second avenue.
A strange story of alleged foul play
came to light It night. On tho morn
ing after Mrs. ltabcoek's douth tho body
was hastily put In a coffin, which had
btien ord,rMl several hours before the
end came. Tho undertaker was told at
the time that he must be ready to take
the body away to Hillside tho samo after
noon. Tie said that would be unwise
and would create suspicion, but those In
charge Insisted so strongly that the un
dertaker compiled.
Meanwhile Mrs. Tlabcock's friend In
tho local temperance union commenced
to grow auspicious, and Mrs. Hlshop,
who was a co-laborer with the deceased,
wrote Mrs. Habcock'a relatives nt no
cheater, relating the strange elrcum-
lannn of tier death and suggnllng thai

COLVMBIA CANNERYMEN.
Thought that a Combination ot Some
Kind Will Bo Effected.
Portland, March .-The salmon can
nerymen who have been In session here
for several day have chosen a name for
the contemplated association. It Is to be
known as the Columbia RH-er Packer'
Association. The capital stock Is to be
entirely paid In by member. All meet
ings have been thus far behind closvd
doors, and It la impossible to get any re
liable Information as to what has been
accomplished.
Il Is understood that C. S. Norrls, of
tho A. Itooth Packing Company, has ub
mlttvd a proposition for consolidation,
but' nothing material resulted. Chief
among the aubjects under discussion,
aside from the grievance against whole
salers. Is an atrctnpt to tlx the price
upon salmon lower than that paid last
year. In the event that Norrls' prop,
oaltlon for consolidation falls, there are
two other schemes of consolidation, eith
er of which will solve the problem now
confronting th cannerymen.
More work waa accomplished today
than at any previous scission, and mat
ter are Hearing a focu. It Is confidently
expected .that some definite results will
l accomplished tomorrow, and that a
combination of some kind will be erTecttel
Is almost certain. It now seems only a
question of detail.

Th following lmVreatlns; letter was re
ceived yesterday by Chaa. Finch from his
brother In Juneau, Alaska:
Juneau, Alaska, March , ISM.
Dear Charlie:
We arrived In Juneau all right and are
enjoying th beat of health. The trip
up was so far beyond my powers ot de
scription that I will not attempt to go
Into detail, but can only aay that I
never enjoyed anything more In my life.
W left Tacoma on Tuesday on th
steamer Topcfca. Quit a nujnber from
Tacoma took passage, and every berth
was taken. Fortunately I secured mine
In advance, and bad but one companion,
and he of my choice. Others were leas
fortunate. fully twenty people being
obliged lo sleep on th taldea and floor,
and It was necessary to set two table
for each meal. I sat at the head of on
of the table and was well provided for.
W did not stop at Beadle, but took on
freight and passengers at Port Town nd.
The waters of the Sound are simply
beautiful and as deep and as clear as
they could be. The mountains rise right
out of the water and It would be Impossi
ble to find a beach In most places. All
the country Is covered with a heavy
growth of timber, and th strangest part
of It Is'that It grows right down to th
edge of the water. It Is Just like this
all the way up to Alaska, although th
tre-w are not quit aa large further north.
We do not get out Into the ocean at all
on the way up. but take the Inland pas
sage. Mountains are on each side of
the strati, sometimes being over Ave
thousand feet high. The water Is over
ten mile wide In-aom place and In
others only a few hundred feet- Wherever
one goes, th depth la over a thousand
feet, and In many places over a mile.
In some places the mountains rise almost
straight out of the water and on- won
der how tbe tree can grow on them.
Many waterfall are seen and a one gets
near Alaska, they are froaen solid. We
met several small Icebergs, but It Is too
early to see many of them yet.
At Victoria we took on passengers and
some freight and nearly every one took
In the town. It Is as slerpr a place as
one could find and so different from
American cities that we were Inclined
to laugh at It. They have an immense
stone government building that will soon
be finished, but aside from that there Is
not much of Interest In the place.
The next atop was at Nanalmo, where
we took on coal, remaining over night
and half the next day. as one of the pas
sengers died suddenly and the coroner
had to hold an Inquest. They have Im
mense coal mine there, but they are a
number of milea Inland and so we did
not see them.
From Nanalmo to Mary Island I a
long run and the scenery Is fine all the
way. At this place we took on custom
house officials, who examined baggage.
We stopped at Wrangle in the night
time, so did not get a chance to see
the place. As soon as we got Into Amer
ican territory we began to see Indian
village and stopped at some of them.
They are a very queer people and some
time I will tell you something of their
customs.
We arrived In Juneau Sunday night and
I was met by my old friend, Lloyd Win
ter, of the well known firm of photog
raphers here. Winter ft Pond. It la
pretty cold here, with about eight or
ten feet of snow on the ground and the
thetrmometsr away below the freexlng
point. There Is ice everywhere and the
windows are frox.'n every morning when
we get up. There Is not a vacant house
In town, and a great deal of building Is
going on. Rents are extremely high and
property Is very valuable, so one has to
have quit a capital In order to do busi
ness here. Winter goes out every year
In his boons to get new view and haa
Invited me to go with him In about three
weeks over the Chllcoot pass. This Is
the route that the Yukoners go over and
we will be with some of them all the
time. Then I am to go hunting bear
and caribou and flsh for salmon and
halibut, so that you see I am In a posi
tion to enjoy life very much.
The town Is full of miners and fellowa
who have come here In search of work,
and aa each steamer comes loaded you
can Imagine the result. It Is almost Im
possible for a man to obtain employment,
and so those who have any capital buy
an outfit (about $250) and try to g-et Into
the Yukon country. It Is a very difficult
trip and requires lots of nerve and en
durance, and when a man gets in he Is
not sure of anything. Nearly every day
we ret reports of men freexlng hand and
feet, and occasionally a death Is reported.
One party had to eat their dogs, as they
became stalled and ran out of provisions.
The thermometer goes down to ) and 80
below aero and It Is almost Impossible to
keep comfortable. Circle City, located
on the Yukon river, has about 100 In
habitants, and la growing every dsy.
Everything- commands a fancy price, as It
Is difficult work getting anything Into
that country. I will probably go aa far
as the lakes that form the head of the
Yukon river.
An Immense mountain towers above
this town, and at the present time Is
covered with fifteen or twenty .feet of
snow. Some places are too stejp for
snow ty hold on to and so It mak-s tl.?
picture nil the more fascinating. Th?
mountain Is filled with gold ledges and
numerous claims are being worked nil
th time. The Silver Bow basin Is about
three miles up the canyon, while dirrctly
across from Juneau Is the celebrated
Troadwell mine, which operate two hun
dred and fifty stamps, and turns out
$75,(XX every month from a low grade
ore. There Is a small city over on the
Island that Is entirely supported by this
mine. The mills are operated by water
power and run day and night, Sundays,
holidays and all tho time that they can
work In edgewise.
Yesterday I fished for herring with
what Is called a rake. This la a long
pole with sharp nails for about thte
feet from the end. It Is put Into the

THE SURPRISE PARTY.
To the Editor:
W had a surprise on Mis Dealey,
Shtvely School, Room 4. this afternoon.
Nearly everyone In the whole school
knew about It but the teacher.
When the teacher cam In she was
much surprised at the party and did not
see how we could keep It from her.
When tha refreshments ware passed
around every on In th room had some.
W sent some to all the teachers In
the building.
W had cake, oranges, nuts, candy,
cookies and lemonade, and had a very
good time. ONE OF THE BOYS.
SALVATION ARMY.
Exchange.
The news about the Salvation Army la
rather disquieting. Balliiurton Booth,
the son ot the general, has becoro an
American cltlsen. He like America
and American way. Naturally he em
ploye Atneiioana to do his official work,
and why shouldn't ba? But th old
gentleman, who visited this country a
while ago, doesn't love us. He Is Eng
lish, you know, and wants to officer the
American Salvation Army with English
men and to give a decidedly English
coloring to th whole concern. Bo he
has ordered his son to resign, and it la
rumored though I hop It Isn't true
that he Intends to oust all the native
and put English men and women In their
places. Not that the work Isn't being
done well, but that It Isn't being done
on the English plan. It looks as though
the roirrmander-ln-chlef cares a good deal
more for English souls than he does for
those of the American type. He puts
his nationality ahead of his religion, and
If he persists In that sort of thing the
Salvation Army will very soon have
seen Its best days. It would be a pity
If the man who started the grand move
ment should break It all up In conse
quence of his personal prejudices.
FOR THE SOITH POLS.
Exchange.
An expedition Is about to start from
London for the South Pole, or the region
thereabout. The prime object Is. of
course, commercial! that is to say. to
catch whales. We don't need as many
whales aa w did years ago, and the
fishery has to a certain extent died out.
If the whales can get along without vs.
we can get along without them, so long
as coal oil holds out. What with kero
sene and Incandescent lights, we can
manage to find our way without stum
bling. The whales have a value, and
are worth catching If It doesn't cost too
much to find them. It Is supposed that
they are holding a mass meeting some
where In the Antarctic regions, and these
English adventurers are going dotrn
there to report proceedings. The ex
pedition will take along with It some
scientific gentlemen, who will explore
that rich field as far as possible, but
the South Pole has always ben more
shy than its sister In the north. How
ever, there are deep sea soundings to be
taken and the flora and fauna of the
depths are wonderfully worth investiga
tion. DESERVED CONS1DF.RATION.

Early thl mornlrur new reached thl
city that tha British ahlp Olenmorsg.
bound for thl port from Cailao, had goo
ashore on Lone Beach, about thr nut
north of Ocean Park. Wash., and about
seven mile north of th scan of th
wreck of th steamer Point Lorn a, at
IJO o'clock Thursday afternoon. 1
Th first Intimation of th disaster
reached Ocean Park about t o'clock,
when one of th seamen of tha lTI-fated
vessel called at (he residence of Mr. Tay
lor and asked that assistance be sent
to the wreck. Th newt aoon aproa4
to Nahcotta, a small place near Oceaa
Park, and within a short time a larf
crowd had rathered on th beach, near
th stranded vessel, where th captain
ano crew, two 01 wnora naa neen siuea
and four Injured, were found.
The ship struck at high water ant
la lying- port ride to the shore. Front
Captain Carrie It was learned that th
first intimation of danger waa th cry,
"Breaker on th port bow," from th
man on the lookout. A heavy fog pre
vailed at the time, which accounts for
the vessel sailing past the mouth ot Uf
Columbia.
Immediately after th warning the cap
tain attempted to wear around, and bad
almost succeeded when the vessel struck
and swung broadside on, with her hfad
to the southward. Th after port and
starboard boat were at once el'ared
way and lowered. Th mate, who Lad
charge of th lee boat, attempted to
put out to sea. but, owing to th strong
current, was forced to allow her to drift
In shore. The boat which had been low-
J ered on the weather side, whtl rounding
I the item, waa caught by a treraendoua
j wave and dashed up under th ship's
I counter, crushing th occupant In a
j frightful manner and badly damaging1 th
t beat. Her air tank, however, k"pt her
S afloat: otherwise all would hav been
I drowned. Captain Currie was In chant
' of this boat, and after the accident, lew
j ered the forward boat, reaching bore
1 In safety about an hour later. On land
I Ing It was discovered that two men had
1 been killed and four seriously Injured.
' One of the men bad an oar-lock Jammed
' through his skull and died instantly.
1 The otyr's head was mashed to a felly.
I A wagon was procured and the dead ra
i moved to 8ealand, while the survivor
; were conveyed to Ocean Park, where th
1 Injured were cared for.
1 The dead are: John Readdie, ordinary
, seaman, and John Adams, able seaman.
The Injured are Richards, lea; and ankle
' broken: BJckler, Sllverwood and Begg.
all of whom received Internal Injuries.
I The British vice-consul at this port,
; P. L Cherry, received a telegram from
: Captain Currie yesterday statins; th dead
; would be burled at Ilwmco on Sunday,
j Captain Currie refused to make any
I statement in regard to th loss of th
I vessel, reserving the facta for the court
. of Inquiry, which will be held soon,
j Owing to th fact that th vessel struck
! seven miles from th Ilwaco Beach life-
saving atarion, 'the services ot the life
: savers were not used In rescuing th
j crew. However, a life boat was hauled
I to the seen of the wreck.
'. The crew ot th Glenmorag conalsted ot
I twenty-six men all told. The cook of
I the vessel Is a brother of John Readdie,
' the man who was killed, and witnessed
I the distressing accident from the mate's
, boat. The Glenmorag la a full-rigged
Iron ship of 1S7 tons register, and waa
built on the Clyde In 1875. She is owned
. by the Allen line, ot Glasgow, and la'
; the last of that company's one large Una
. of sailing vessels. She sailed from
- Shields August 15 and arrived at
Cailao Dec. , 1895. The same company
owned the ship Sirathblane, which was
. wrecked about eight miles . south ot
Ocean Park on tha night of November
23, 11192.
1 The Glenmorag Is lying high and dry.
i At low water one may walk around her.
Parties who returned from the beach
! ay they do not think she will go- to
, pieces for some time, as tho aea Is quit
smooth. The probabilities are that she
may be hauled off. but It Is thought the
largest and most powerful tugs on tha
coast will be required for the work. Th
: Glenmorag was In ballast, having about
' Sua tons aboard, and was not listed aa
' being on the way to this port. '
I As the sea was smooth at the time of
; the disaster. It Is difficult to give the
; cause of the wreck. The fact that It
I was broad daylight made It possible for
. soundings to be easily taken. A party
: of newspaper men will leave tomorrow
for Long- Beach, and an effort will be
made to get a statement from the cap
, tain.
I The crew of the ship speak In the high
, est terms of the captain, and state that
j he Is a most skilful navigator and very
' careful. Tho result of the Inquiry, which
; will be called by British Consul Lalillaw,
1 of Portland, la awaited with much ln-
ter est. In all probability he will order
j the consul at this port to conduct the
inquiry.
V Ice-Consul Cherry received last even
ing by the steamer Ilwaco a brtef writ
ten report from Captain Currie In which
he merely stated the fact of his dis
aster. "The ship went high and dry on
the beach at almost high tide, the
weather being thick, wind southwest:
two men were killed In the starboard
1 life boat, while leaving the ship: one
! man's leg was broken and three injured
Internally, the funeral of tha men killed
will be held Sunday at Ilwaco. Some of
the men are In camp at Ocean Pork,
and some at Sealand."
