Low one-way colonist rates to the
Northwest are helping k rgejy in set-
tling np the ■Utna.of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho.
These reduced fares
are perhaps the greatest factor in in
ducing Immigration outside of the pub
licity work of the various chambers of
commerce of these states.
The rail
roads are working hand in hand with
the commercial bodies everywhere in
the Pacific Northwest to swell the num
ber of settlers in this territory
Colonist rales are not new in Western
railroading, but at no time previously
have they been so effective In diverting
travel this way as at present and the
biggest colonist movement In the his
tory of the Pacific Northwest is predict
ed for the four spring and fall months
of 1907 when the reduced one-way fai
are in effect.
The growth of the westward move
ment Is due to the better advertising
and exploitation methods of commercial
bodies and railroads and to the growing
density of population in the East, where
many are able to find more congenial
surroundings by moving away to a part
of the country where there is more el
bow room, where climate is more equa
ble the year around and where land is
cheaper and lees worn by repeated crop
ping for years.
These conditions contribute to the
constant “ trek” westward which is
significant movement in the history of
the American continent and which
dates from the days of the California
argonauts of ’49. By prairie schooner
and by ship the pioneers came to settle
wilderness.
Since the transcon
tinental railroads have been built, the
second generation has found an easier
mode of seeking out the great West but
the movement has by no means end«

Sunday, March 8.
Washington March 3.— Beginning at

of the session of the senate was devoted

an hour was spent by the borne in ob

necessary number was secured, bus in eta

tbe day's session was given to consider

agreed to the conference report on the

Augusta, Ga., March 4.— “ We e f
down and ou t," said J. B. McDonald,
president o f the Panama Construction
company, In discussing the rejection of
the bid of W . J. Olllvei for the con
struction of the Panama oanal. “ They
have taken tbe matter out of opr hands,
and it now rests with the president.
The responsibility should be placed
where It belongs.
“ I cannot see why our bid should
have been rejected, except that it is due
to the far reaching machinations of the
political influences that have worked
against all bids that threaten actual
construction of the big canal.
It la
hardly necessary to say that these in
terests are those of the trans-continental
railroads.
“ You w ill notice that, one by one,
the practical men who have been iden
tified with the canal have been picked
off by big financial interests. I t is not
difficult to «trace the relations.
This Is
very poor business, however, for tbe
canal is bound to come, if not during
this administration, then during anoth
er. I t la inevitable.
“ I cannot see where the president
and his associates are right, and do not

canal. Booner or later the ditch w ill
have to be dug under the businesslike
management of a constructor who has
figured cost down to a minimum. Our
company was w illin g to perform ever
item of the agreement required by the
government. I t was our understanding
that, when tbe conditions imposed by
the government were met, the contract
went to our company. W e have made

Eureka, March 2. — The steamer
Corona, Captain Boyd, considered the
best boat in the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company’s service between this-
city and San Francisco, lies straddling
the north jetty on the Humboldt bar,
a hopeless wreck.
The Corona, with
nearly 100 passengers aboard, struck
at 10:10 o’clock yesterday morning, a »
Captain Boyd waa attempting, in the
teeth of a stinging wind and a terrific
bar flood, to drive her into port.
Tbe usual scenes attendant upon a
shipwreck followed.
The passengers
rushed into the social hall. iS o m e of
the women were hysterical and some of
the men were palsied with fear, but
reassuring words from the crew and
some of the calmer nsseenger* brought
calm. Thereafter the passengers as
sembled upon
the hurricane deck,
where they remained until tbe rescue
work waa undertaken in the afternoon.
Soon after tbe ship struck, a boat, in
charge of Quartermaster Gunn, was
lowered away. I t contained three o f
the crew and three steerage passengers.
This boat capsised at once fn the l o l l
ing surf and H . Errickson. a Swede,
was drowned, ttutin and the others
succeeded in reaching shore, the life
saving crew under Captain Hennig
having come to their assistance.
A second boat, in charge of Second
Officer B. V . Joenn, waa pat off.
Badly battered and leaking like a sieve,
this boat reached the shore. Mean
while, T . F. So them, night saloon
watehman, formerly a marine in th »
United States navy,- stripped to the-
waist and attempted to carry a lino
ashore. The small line he had tied
about his waist parted, however, before
he had gone fiar. Sothern was picked
up by the life-savers. 8everal attempts
were made to shoot a line aboard with
the Lyle gun, but each time the line
fell far short.
Finally it was decided by Captain
Hennig and the life-savers to go oat In
the billows, and they made as gallant a
voyage as ever men undertook, finally
reaching the side of the Corona and
picking np the line.
W ithin a short time after the Cornea > «
struck, news of the accident was com
municated to Eureka and several thous
and people during the day went to the
beach opposite the wreck to watch tbe
work of rescue.
Several unsuccessful
attempts were made to work early in
the day, but it was not until 4:60
o'clock in the afternoon that Captain
Hennig and hie men worked effectively.
