CAPTAIN A0 NINE MEN SAVED

NEWI'ORT, Or., May 3. Eleven of
the officers and crew of the steam
schooner Minnie E. Kelton, lumber
laden, from Aberdeen, Wash., to Han
Francisco, were killed or drowned as
a result of a gala Friday night. The
steamer is lying at anchor half wrecked,
about a mile off shore, between Yaquina
Head and Cape FnnlwntbcT. Cpts.in
James MeKenna and nine of bis crew
were saved.
Friday 'tb Kelton ran into a strong
head wind, which increased a the day
proceeded, until by midnight it wat
blowing a bard gale. Th vessel eon
tinually shipped Large volumes of water
and labored heavily in tbe ea. Tbt
rough weather continued until the vet
sel reached a point eight mile soutn-
west of Yaquina, when th deckload
shifted and started the bulkhead of tb
fireroom, and tbe vessel began filling
from the bunkers and engine-room to
the bold. The pumps proved unavailing
against the inrush of water.
When she had drifted north of Ya
quina Head tbe captain, seeing tb
hopelessness of bis vessel's condition,
ordered the craft abandoned, and di
rected that the lifeboat, which was
large enough to hold the entire crew,
be lowered. While engaged in clearing
the lifeboat, the vessel suddenly shipped
a tremendous sen, which swept overboard
he Uecklond of lumber, and with it
the after deckhouse, both bouts and 11
of the men. Tlio lifeboat was pitched
onto the flouting lumber, one end bang
ing at a sharp angle.
in climbing into the boat the men
capsized ber. They succeeded in right-

National Drainage BUI May Become a
Law.
Washington, May 4. Friends of
the national drainage bill are very
much encouraged by reason of the
fact that that measure has passed
tbe senate, and been referred to the
house committee on public lands.
While there is very little time left
for Its consideration In the house.
there is a slight possibility that It
might get through tbe lower branch
of congress before adjournment, but
this will only be possible in the
event that there la general support
of the measure, both in committee
and in tbe house. It there is aa
much difference of opinion in the
house aa prevailed in the senate, tha
bill will probably go over to tho
next session.
The bill. In effect, ereatea a na
tional drainage fund, similar to the
national reclamation act. orovidlna-
that all moneys received from the
sale of public lands In states not con
tributing to reclamation fund shall
be utilixed In draining swamp and
overflowed lands. The drainage fund
wHI be amall In comparison to the '
reclamation fund, for the bulk of
the receipts from land sales Is util
ized for Irrigation. However, the
cost of reclaiming desert lands, and
one dollar in the drainage fund will
go as far as five dollars In the re
clamation fund.
