PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, BEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25. 1934 OF ESCAPES DAMAGE Fl Confesses Killing Ro?u River peari aboard the steamship "Florldlan" storm-tossed the first of the week, when It at tempted to cross the Columbia river, suffered no damage, according to Robert K, Norrls, of the Pinnacle Packing company, who has returned from Portland. "The 32,600 boxes of pears con signed to New York, came out of the storm In good shape," according to Norrls. The Florldlan returned to Port land, where It la now undergoing repairs, with sailing scheduled for next week, . Ouy W.

' "It was a wonderful experience.", Norrla says Connor told him. ul am going to stay with the boat till she sinks or gets to new York." ny llnrry fl. MrNutt PORTLAND, Oct. 25. (Special) Twisted rails, broken bulkheads and other wreckage aboard the freighter Florldlan vividly show the effect of the Paclflo ocean's heavy artillery, trained on the ship Sunday after she left the Columbia river bound for New York. She came back Mon day, her officers thankful they had drifted no closer than they did to the Washington shore Just north of the river. In driving rain end mist, blown across the harbor almost horizon tally by whining gusts of wind, the vessel looked the picture of dismal defeat as she lay at Terminal No. 4. But not so with the master. "Oh, It was nothing." Captain George Johnson said with a smile, i "There's no story In It. We Just' couldn t steer, so we anchored, and when the weather moderated slipped our chains and came back. We ll be ready to go again In a few days." And the master was no more ex cited than that, so others aboard said, when the ship was drifting to ward the beach and her wireless was clashing an SOS call. On board was O. W. Conner, Med ford fruit shipper, accompanying the shipment of 32.500 boxes of pears stowed In refrigerated holds. "Officers and men were every-, where." Conner said. "They were j wonderful. Not one of them wes ex cited. They tried to corral the an chor but the seoa were rolling over the decks all the time. A cable drum! ripped loose from the forward deck and came charging aft. They tried to get that and eorral It but the waves were sweeping them against the masts and rails and bulkheads. Ohe sailor practically went over board. Another was trying to hang onto him and pull him but he waa going over too. A third saw them and caught the second man. Between them they managed to get back. "The men tried to use the hand steering gear but were almost swept off Into the sea. The gear Itself waa snapped off like matches. That waa given up on orders of the officers. One of the waves went clear over the bridge and tons of water poured Into the cabins and companlonwaya. It was knee deep In the rooms. "I heard one of the men ask the third mate what they could do. He replied 'that automobiles can't kill all of us, so we might as well drown." Repairs will be completed speedily, two new anchors will be shipped and the vessel will resume the voyage In a few doys. Captain Johnson said. 7 W. r Mrs. Bertha Talkington, 41, (up per) confessed shooting her husband (lower) to death, aay Watsonvllle, Cat., police.

SISKiYOU FOREST GRANTS PASS. (Spl.) Showing that Austrian pine Is probably the best variety of timber stock to plant In the Low Divide region of the Chetko ranger district. Siskiyou na tional forest, a report of experimental plantings has been received by the forest headquarters In Grants Pass. The report was made by District Ranger L. M. Hoist and showed that the Austrian pine had grown four feet higher than the taller of the other two varieties planted with it at the same time 23 years ago. The pine trees were planted in the fall of 1011. The Low Divide district is one of low timber producing value and the type of tree native to It Is of poor quality. In order to find a kind of pine that would be of more value In the district, the government tried planting the Austrian, Maritime and Scotch pine trees. The Austrian variety averaged 14 feet In height, according to Hoist's report. The Maritime averaged 10 feet and the Scotch pine 8 feet. All the trees are doing well In their new home as there had been no loss of trees since the last check, about four years ago. Only the Mar itime variety showed signs of Injury. These had some breakage from snow. The plantings are in the vicinity of the historic Low Divide road, which was the original road from the coast to Sailor's Dlggfn's, where gold was first discovered in Josephine county, and Into the mining country along the north fork of Smith river. -Here's the cf COLDS-CONTROL rTHLUlttfl oB.HoffmmM MtoroAD.
