Prolonged Cold Spell Prevents Dig
ging the C ro p .
Salem—From $5,000 to $7,000 worth
of potatoes have been frozen in the
ground in the vicinity of Salem since
the recent prolonged cold spell began.
Because of peculiar w eather condi
tions it has been impossible to dig the
potatoes thiB fall and probably more
than half of the crop still rem ains in
the ground and now the report comes
from different localities th a t the pota
toes in the ground have frozen.
The
earth in some districts is frozen to a
depth of five inches.
The early fall began w ith heavy
rains and the farm ers were unable to
take care of the potato crop.
Follow
ing the continued rains came the cold
spell, increasing in severity until the
damage has followed. Some growers
say th a t p a rt of th e ir crop th a t was
dug was ruined while others are keeping
fires in th e ir potato houses all in the
effort to save the crop th a t was gath
ered.
Potatoes are selling in Salem a t 50
cents a bushel, but in view of the dam
age done grow ers confidently expect to
get $1.25 before the new crop comes
in.

Captain o f Ill-Fated S tea m er Czarina
L ast to Go.
Marshfield, Ore., Jan . 14.—One by
one six men, who had clung all night
to the frozen rigging and shrouds of
the doomed Czarina, jumped to their
death in the foamy breakers, a thou
sand persons who had kept vigil, set
ting bonfires to cheer the wreck vic
tims, witnessing each desperate leap.
In the throng th at lined the beach
was C. J. Millis, fath er of Harold
Millis, who a t dawn this morning was
descried gripping the rigging. Near
him Captain Duggan clung, his face
turned toward shore.
Every leap of the doomed half-dozen
men was deliberate, all stripping to rid
themselves of w eight if, perchance, the
breakers swept them toward shore.
When Harold M illis’ turn came he
waved his coat in farewell and dived
into the turbulent sea. His father in
agonizing suspense, would wait for an
other glimpse of his son. He was led
away.
Captain Duggan was the last to
make the mortal dive. Stripping him
self, he rubbed his limbs to force cir
culation, straightened at full length
and hurled himself far into the
breakers.
H e was the last to leave the ship—
the last seen. Preceding him young

Then the waves dashed higher and
higher over what was left of the wreck.
Nothing could bo Been but the remains
of the mainmast and even that, at
times, was covered from view by the
combers, which piled one upon another
with death-dealing force. The wreck
was over. Those who stood for 24
hours watching and working in an at
tempt to save the lives of the unfor
tunate men turned away. There was
nothing left to do but to leave the
Czarina to the sea, the crew and young
Millis to their ocean graves.
Only one escaped from d eath ’s grip

assistant engineer. Twenty-four dead
