NANY P O T A T O ES ARE LO ST. 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 ___ Assistant ^ Engi- Millis, Mate McNichols, neer Robinson and two seamen hud leapod into the sea. None rose to the surface, 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 on the Czarina—H arry Kcntzel, first assistant engineer. Twenty-four dead was the toll of the Coos Bay disaster. W ashington, Ja n . 17.— For the third tim e the house of representatives passed a bill today giving separate statehood to the te rrito rie s of New Mexico and Arizona.
