wben tbe real tost comet of getting

make good.
It baa been deolded by a deoiiion of
tbe iapieme Coart that tbe three
mill tax cannot be collected by the
ooanty from clt.lea having a aeoial
road dlalrict of tbeir own. Bach a

of Hood River by Waaoo county for a
Dumber of yeaia and but a portion of
it returned in tbe ibape ot work on
atreet within tbe city limit. The
three mill tax tbla year will amount
to about $2,000. It la probable that
tbe city council will take over tb
eaat aide giade load in the city limiti
and demand that tbe whole amount of
tbia apeclal tax be returned to tbe
city. Ooanty Uommlealoner Uibbard
ha made the statement that tbe coun

Tbe meeting of the Oregon Prea
AMOoiation, or the State Editorial
Aaioolation of Oreogn. a It la now
called, at Portland laat week, wa th
moat successful in year. Owing to
tbe untiring effort of the offlore
elected at tbe meeting at Seaside In
AnguH, especially by Dr. Henry
Waldo Coe, a good turnout wa had
there wa life .to , tbe meeting and a
determination to get result. Ii
make tbe awooiatoo ot value to tbe
preaa of tbe state and rMpeoted by
tbe public, it need tbe inpport of
the entire list of editor of tbe state
aa members. A strong legislative
committee baa been appointed to se
cure legislation tbat will compel tbe
publishing ot public notloes and mat
tors that require publicity for the
protection of tbe public. Counties
will be organized among tbe newspa
pers for tbe purpose of correcting
abuses and unbusiness like methods
of the profession, to exchange ideas
and work to tbe oommon good.
Hood River is to make another at
tempt for oounty division whereby it
can obtain self government Ibis
time it will be bv the initiative. Tbe
repeated defeats in the legislature ol
former years, due to opposition from
Tbe Dalles, have not intimidated oar
people in the least, nor caused them
to give up tbe fight. On the oontrary
it has intensified tbe feeling of ani
mosity towards The Dalles, whiob can
only be removed by a change ot front
on the part oWhe oounty seat. It is
said that there is now a material
change "Ja sentiment at Tbe Dalles
and tbat the new move.will not be op
posed by them. It is hoped that
such is the case, In view of future
business and social lelatlon between
the two pluces. It will be to tbe ad
vantage of botb cities tbat harmony
should exist, if possible, However,
it will take all '.he energy ot an army
of worker to seoure tbe necessary
number of names to tbe petition and
everyone should help. Bee that your
name goes on tbe .petition, if you are
a legal voter, and luduce your neigh
boi to sign.

NARROW ESCAPE
A letter received by friends at Port
land from Honolulu graphically de
scribe tbe narrow escape from ship
wreck of a tramp ateamer on which
D. S. fsgdjogloo had takeo passage
for Vladivostok, and on whicb were a
shipment of Hood Rivet apples for
Vladivostok, ibe letter Is as follows:
From 12 noon Ilea 2.1 to tbe 25th
inst. the following events occurred
A storm from esst-soutbesst in
creased into a hurricane, a liigb sea
following steadily higher, sod to
ward 2 In the afteinoon we were un
able to steer our course any more and
we bad to beave to and go half speed.
Two skylights of tbe engine room
were blown open, and wbile we were
trying to shot tbem our quartet mas
ter, Woah Ka Wong, was blown clnan
overboard. We i mediately threw
overboard to turn a .if e-belt, but ow
log to tbe high aea and wind, It wat
quite impoasible to stop tbe tbip or
turn ber around. So we were unable
to do anything more to aave him.
Towarda 1 o'clock In tbe afternoon
an Iron bar abaokle of tbe steering
gear broke. We stopped the eogines
and ordtied alt hands on deck. Tbe
Chinese crew would not come on deck
even wben tbieatened with a revolver.
and all remained cooped up in the
toreoastle There wa a tremendous
toroe from aidu to aide on tbe rndder
and we tiled at once to make fast
with tackles which broke. The cap
tain, oHioers and engineer fien got a
614 'ion Manila rope and wove around
tbe quadrant like a tackle and man
aged to get tbe handgear Into work
ing order, and tbe moment after this,
said geai and Manila rope broke di
rectly behind it and again tbe rudder
started to bit from one side to anotb
er.
We tried again, but with no better
result. We then gut a 'A Incb steel
hawser and wore tbe same like
tackle round the quadrant on botb
sides and tben onto the steam wluob
and tbla was successful in holding tbe
rudder, whirl, we put a' out 25 to
starboard and tbeu started tbe en.
glues slow, half, full, a was oeoessa.
ly to keep tbe ship to the sea.
During all the time we were work
ing (eft the ship wa lying wltb a ter
rible sea breaking over botb ber lides.
Ibe forward starboaid lifeboat was
bioken clean from her lashing and
buried agaiust tbe wheel-house, star
ing In galley stove-pipe and damaging
tbe boat. Tbe aft starboard lifeboat
wa broken looae from it damp and
tbe stsuohlon bolts were wrenobed
from tbe deck and tbe plank opeued
up. Tbe aft port lifeboat wat foroed
with it clamps toward the inside;
tbe side-light shelves, botb port and
starboard, were washed away. Great
volumes of water poured Into 'he
stokehole through tbe grating and In
to tbe engine room through tbe brok
en skylight. In tbe oke bole tbe
floor plate were washed up by tbe
water and we bad to put out tbe Ore
iu tbe port lurnaoe. ibe b lges In
stokehole and engine room were full
to tbe top wltb water, ashes and ooal.
so tbat tbe pumps could not work, a
tbe suouou pice were blocked up.
With great difficulty could we keep
steam In tbe starboard boiler. Tbe
ship took a gieat list to pott, as tbe
cargo shipped oonsiueraniy.
Wben tbe iron bar for tbe steering
gear was repaired by the machinist
and tbe abaokle renewed we wore
tour-roped taekel to relieve tbe strain
and took off the ateel hawser from tbe
quadrant, and we kept the ship In tbe
ea at slow speed. The storm oontin
ued and tbe wind veered around to
tbe southeast and we steamed with
one boiler aotith-aoutbwest by tbe
compass. In the tunnel was tbree
feet of watar. To get tbe ship a little
straight again we started to trim the
ooal from port to starboard with all
bands. Towards 12 noon of tbe 21th
tbe storm quieted a little. We opened
a batch and trimmed the oargo from
port to starboard. Largo on 'Xneen
No. 1 was moved to port. Towards 5
o'olook tbe ship wa a little bit
straightened, wbile we only used the
ooal In tbe port bunker.
Wben we opened No. 1 batch a lit
tle water was ooming Into the bold.
Toward 8 o'clock we opened No.
hatch and trimmed tbe oargo troro
port to starboard. Tbe ship was now
about 40 over to port. The water In
stokehole and engine was belug
pumped out very slowly. Jo Nos. 3
Aud bilges there was 3-lnob walls.
Through tbe great lolling and pltob
ing of tbe ship tbe decks opeued out
and we saw little water iu No. 3
'tween decks, but tbe hatobes, wheu
taken off, weie quite dry. Ibe steer
ing gear again broke dowu on tbe
21th: the bar repaiied, agalu breaking
Iu tbe same plaoe.
We repaired by 3:30, substituting
wire hawser for the broken bar. Tbe
same day, 0:30 in tbe evening, tbe
steering gear again broke, this time a
link In the aft chain tartiug. Ibis
we repaired by 12:30 a. m.
You cannot Imagine the terrible
suspense iu wbloh we were during tbe
time we weie drifting at tbe meroy of
the angry sea an experleuce I hope
uevei to repeat. Any mrment might
have been our last. Tbe captain, offi
cers and engineer showed great cour
age and coolneaa In those trying
times, in striklog contrast to the dis
graceful oowaidloe of the Chinese
crew, and it waa simply owing to tbe
untiring effort of tbe former that tbe
ship escaped with ao comparatively
slight damage.
Ho terrible wa tb j sea that tbe cap
tain ordered oil to be poured on tbe
wave in tbe hope o. breaking tbe
toice ot tbem, but owing to tbe exces
sive rolling and pitching ut the ship
but little effect wa notioed. You can

INTERESTING LETTER

went on to Oakland. There we found
many obangea and improvement slnoe

a aubuib of Han Francisco. After re

Dear oid San Cranolsoo.
It would be utterly impossible for
me to describe tbe ruin and devasta
tion on every aide that mets votn
sight, no matter whiob way you look
or what car line you go out on. The
city bsll still stands as tbe earthquake
lett It, partly demolished, we could
only stand and gaze In astonishment
and wondei, to tee bow a -tiembling
of tbe earth oould so completely de
stroy so laige and appareu;iy well

tbat time 1 guess was a bard one,
Many laige and costly bulidiugs aie
under course of construction, others
are being repaired, almost retou
struoted, yet to me San Franoiaoo
seems to have before it an almost end
less tak befoie it oan, literally snoak
inn, be on its feet again, yet In more
ways than one I: seems tbe same city
ot old, full of bustle and bustle, the
people on pleasure bent. Hotel ao

able. Ihey had just bad rain and the
streets were very dirty and muddy, ao
we decided to go ou and stop over on

Interesting one, belug through a div
ert, non-pioduoing region About the
only thing of interest was the great
inland Saltou sea, covering acres aud
sores of what was a few year ag. .Ins
ert or grazing lands. Tbe body of
water is something or r 300 miles long,
don't know bow wide, and f om 90 to
100 feet deep Iu part of It, the whter
ooming from tbe in flow of the Colo
rado river, whose onrse was changed
by some irrigating company, which
waa dammed up and broke through.
It I really a wonderful light to auy
on wbo Just a fe yeara ago passed
over tbat desert to now see tbat body
of water 130 feet below sea level, there
being a mountain range west of it,
making it la reality a vast inland sea.

hom Vanoouvsr and very anxious to
again get back to Ojd's country,
where tbey would have something be
sidei sunshine and desolate looking
oountry, and 1 would teel the sau.c :
so we were not sorry to cross ovei the
border into Mexloo on Tuewl ij morn
ing, January 7. At Juuitz we had to
be Inspected, hag aud baggage at the
custom house, which was really a gbt
worth seeing. Such crowd ot tbe real
poor Mexloaiis, or "Peons" as tbey
are called here, were being sent by
the government Is tbe interior of tbe
republic to work and lira tbls winter.
Tbey were orowded in cars like cattle
and of course eaoh and every one bad
a bundle to be gone through by a cus
tom officer to make sure tbey did net
muggle aome little American article
across the line. . Wben tbe officers at
last got to tbe trunk baggage ot tbe
passengers it wa really a uosinito
see what tbe offloeis brongbt forth
from trunk trying to be smuggled
over. Prom one trunk even a ivddy
bear was hauled out. At last Inspec
tion was over and we stalled on our
journey through a dry, dusty appar
ently deseit country. Still hey claim
where white people are getting told
ot tbe land and putting it under cult
ivation and water bat it is very pro
ductive.: For my pat t 1 tbink they
earn all tbey get. The second day r e
passed through a better section, i.ftt-r
testing Ttrreou, a city of 40,000 ou
pie. but many of tbem being a low
clasb of Mexican and Indian mixture,
we saw ootton, grain and corn field,
aud occasionally a cotton if 1 11 and
cement factory. The cactus, from
whlob the national di ink is made, is
grown in largo field. Another kiud
of oactus, seems to be grown foi n
fenoe la place of building other kinds
