Four men working the boat saw them apply the torch, and it is said nre willing to identify the arsonists. The fire burned all night and this morning the heat ex ploded one of the tanks of oil, throw ing the flames 200 feet in the air. It is said the upper decks are destroyed but the cargo in thp hohl is uninjured It is not believed that machinery is in jured as most of that was below the water line, Those who were engaged in salving the vessel are greatly in censed at this act and are loud in con demning those responsible. No ar rests have as yet been made but it is believed a full investigation will fol low. ..The Santa Clara is still in the same position and little worse for the beat ing surf than she was a week ago Tuesday when she was driven on the sand at Bastendorf's beach, the open sea harbor just south of the bar nnd entrance to the harbor. Merchants having large shipments of goods on the Santa Clara urged the North Pacific Steamship Co. to make an effort t3 get them on", but this was not done. Becoming desperate, a fund was raised to hire men to light cr the vessel and save as much of the goods as possible. This resulted in failure for tho mem were overcome by hundreds of "pirates" who also en gaged in the work of saving the goods but for themselves. Finally after a half day's work, the vessel was aban doned and turned over to the public. Probably the one factor which caus ed the attempt to unload the vessel to be a failure was the finding of numer ous cases nnd casks of various brands of liquor which was freely distributed and in a few moments the major part of the crowd were gloriously drunk Since Friday, men with long ropes have been taking goods off in any old manner to get them Usualy eight or ten men worked to gether part of the gang would board the vessel, the ropes to a quantity of goods, then throw the bundle over board and the remaining number of that gang would gull the goods ashore and care for same. Two or more were stationed to stand guard, for if a bund le or package was found unguarded it was a cr.s of possession being nine points of the law worked Many people were there after sou venirs and did not make an attempt ,to take off the more valuable freight One had a big wrench which he used to take olf the big whistle, another took oir thecompass, the bell and so on, which wejfeof little vulue to the newly made owners. Those who worked systematically took off large amounts of valuable goods. There were nearly 500 tons of freight aboard, in which was ev erything imaginable from flour to automobiles. The big oil tanks of the vessel were sprung and thct bottom of the vessel was practically filled with crude oil, which not only ruined a large amount of the freight but nuide the work of pirating a slippery and disagreeable job. Fully one-Half of the freight was in the hold and below the line raised by the flowing oil- Some one started the idea of putting a largo quantity of dynamite under the bow of the boat :rt low water which would bo sufficient force to open the the ship nd permit pirating from the outside. Dynamite was purchased and a long "fuse" was attched, with it was tim-ni at threo hours. Most every ono get out of t o.way r.nd as a result the old time and well train ed pirates went to the bottom of he hold and picked over he best- of the freight, while others were awaiting at a respectable distneo for the dynn- mite explosion. There was a shipment of over 200 sacks of parcel post aboard the vessel most of which is entirely ruined. The No h Bond p.irtioi of about 20 sacks was on top and was the first to be re moved but t'io extents of each sack, uiiloss of metal were practically ruin ed. Some of the clothing was saved but all paper goods was completely destroyed. The Marshfield shipment suffered worse than did ours. This was not only ruined by the water und the oil, but hud started to deeny, am) wan n tttiriblo fiul mnolJ'i.g iiwen uh bundle after bundle was sorted mid mi attempt mmh to ferret out .h mimes or make Idontlfientioii.

Stocks which come from Now York, are running low, and unless the wholesalers bring supplies by rail which means increased cost to them tot he retailer and to the consumer a real scarcity in eertnin lines is bound to exist in the near future. When the slides occurred most of the local wholesaler had heavy shipments en route here by water. The vessels ar riving at the canal were delayed ow ing to the slide. Some of them re mained there a few days, others for some weeks laboring under the belief wie siiiie woum oe quicKiy cleared nnu the canal reopened to traffic. Upon learning it would probably be the fust of the year before this task could be accomplished, they started on the long journey around the Horn, and will not arrive for some time to come " THE WRONG WAY Of late is has become quite fashion able to 'dispose of "various questions by putting them up to the , voters, through a supposed waiving of respon sibility by legislative bodies. On this theory the Anti-Saloonleague is advocating tho plan to obtain rational prohibition through an amendment to the Federal Constitution. The league is at pains to explain that members of congress are not to l,e usKed to declare themselves in favor of national pro hibition, but they will be urged "to vote to allow the people of the nation by states, through their representa tives to determine yds question in the manner provided therefor y the'fra mers of the constitution. Now this is a false and vicious doctrine, and the Unpopular Review is to be- commend ed for its efforts in showintjup the fallacy contained in. it. The essence of the Anti-Saloon's argument is to "Let the people deeide.".But the people do not decide for or against a propos ed amendment to. the Federal Consti tution. Chosan representatives de cide and it is as much the duty of Cou gressto consider any 'question on its merits as it is for any state legislature to approach thes vubject in tho same spirit. For Congress to shirk that duty 'is a uowardly nnd wholly inde fensible procedure. It is entirely false to assert that the action of the legislatures of three foir.th of the sates in adopting tho proposed pro hibition amendment would be the voice of the pccplc inasmuch as tho action of tho smallest state weighs just as heavily in the equation as that of, the largest. Wo nre not now defend ing this system nor condemning it. We simply point out that it was not the design of the constitution that this instrument should be umendmcd by a popular vote but through tho action of representative bodies. For that reason it is of prime importance that the bodies so concerned, both national ind legislative should express genu ine and conscientious judgment. To urge any other course is both specious and unpatriotic. Springfield, Mass, Union.
