the seeding that is done this fall, ac
cording to the belief of T. O. Krause,
farmer of that district who was here j
recently. The hard red wheat brings
a lower price than the softer white

Lumber company is mov ng Its saw

Drift creek, near Silver Creek Falls.
The company expects to erect a per
manent mil! at this place, as there Is
available about 25,000.000 feet of tim
ber. The railroad shipping point will
be Shaw, and the output of the mill
will be hauled on trucks. This com
pany has just finished cutting all the
available timber on the J. T. Hunt
place, north of Sublimity.
Lebanon.—The shingle mill of the
Super Shingle company of this city
burned down early Friday morning
The m’ll was located on the bank of
the South Santiam river, just outside
the city limits. The fire had gained
such headway when discovered at <!
o'clock that all the fire department,
which responded promptly, could do
was to save a large stock of sawed
shingles near the plant. As the plant
was beyond the city limits it re
quired a long line of hose to reach
the fire.
Salem —Reports received from the
rural districts Indicated that the 1923
wheat yield In the Willamette valley
is the largest of many seasons.
Threshing has been in progress for
several days.' Fall wheat ranges from
25 to 40 bushels to the acre. Which
is exceptional for this section of the
state. Spring wheat has not yet been
cut. Growers said that market condi

lulu.
Navigation was dltllcult. There was
food for flve for 30 days—on quarter
rations.
Beaus from the Saginaw,
dried In the sun. bad been canned, but
they fermented. All but Halford be-
! came 111. The beans were jettisoned.
The flve fell back on desiccated pota
toes, three spoonfuls a day, then two,
mixed with the fresh water aboard as
ballast. Five days out the gig lost
her lantern. Halford tried mixing the
lantern's sperm oil, a five-gallon sup
ply, with the potatoes, The others
couldn't stand It.
He could, and
lived.
In twenty-five days the last of the
provisions was gone. Three days later
Halford knocked a booby bird on the
head. It made five portions, raw. with
the blood. The next meal came two
days later—a flying-fish fell on the
deck.
Pass Land in Night.
A day or two after that HalfOrd.
awaking, saw land astern. They had
passed It in the night. The men were
done up; some were dying. The gig
was leaking. A log four feet In diam
eter all but sank them. Then the
Kona broke.
Halford, best of them all physically,
dozed again. A cry awoke him—"Surf
ahead." A mistaken order from the
dying lieutenant and the gig veered
and was bowled over in the surf.
Halford held fast. The boat rode
clear. She righted. He hear-! a groan
One other man had come through. He
was caught In an air pocket under the
deck. But he was insane. Halford
got him through the surf, and with
him the tin box containing official dis
patches. Halford reached a footing
and collapse*!. Hours later he recov
ered. his feet still In the water, but
his head on land. His oue companion
was dead.
Of the many dots on the Pacific
charts one Is Llslansky island, bear
ing the name of a Russian captain
who bumped the isle in 1805. Thirty-
nine years later the American whaler
Holder Borden, Captain Pell, of Fall
River, wedged In the reef. No Ilves
were lost and the crew salvaged more
supplies than Robinson Crusoe saved.
They started gardens, hunted birds
and turtles, stored up brackish water
—there was plenty of It, through some
freak of nature, though five months
brought only twelve hours of rain.
Also, they fashioned saws of hoop
iron, and In those five months built a
35-ton copper-fastened schooner, the
Hope. With 24 men aboard and 11
left to guard the $30.«») worth of
salvage, the Hope sailed the thousand
miles or more to Honolulu In 24 days,
and was sold there for $1,409.
Lost on Reef.
Another Robinson Crusoe schooner
was that built by survivors of the
Hermes. Two British whalers, the
Hermes and the Pearl, were lost ten
miles apart In 1822 on the reef that
bears their names, A whaler picked
up the survivors In a short time, but
twelve stayed with James Robinson,
who had started building a schooner.
They took their chances—and arrived
at Honolulu all but starved, after ten
weeks at sea.
In 1866 two Kanakas saw a small
boat off the Hawaiian coast. They
swam out, shook hands all round with
the fifteen thin strangers aboard, and.
still swimming, guided the boat
through the breakers.
The fifteen
were the survivors of the clipper ship
Hornet, New York for San franclsco,
which flared up like a match—a wood
en ship filled with oil—a thousand
miles south of Cape St. Lu<-as, Lower
California, and 2,500 miles from Ha
waii.
There bad been three boats—two
quarter boats and the long boat. In
which a hole, stove In In the lowering,
was plugged with blanket* and shirt«
and kept plugged till the end. Cap-
tain Joalah A. Mitchell took a mate,
two passengers and eleven seamen In
the long boat and towed the other two
boats. Twenty-one days out he had to
let the smaller boats go by themselves.
They cut adrift with good cheer. Night
came and separation. The other two
were never heard of again.
Mads Boots Into Mush.
There were flying-fish for the long
boat and booby birds, dolphins and a
bonlta and a turtle. But before the
Knnakas shook hands, on the forty-
third day. the fifteen had gnawed the
bare bones of a ham, had eaten the
canvas wrapping of the ham. had
made tbelr boots Into mush, bad de-
voured tbelr handkerchiefs. Four bony
News of the Day Brings Tales ' j
Equal to Most Imaginative
of Fiction Stories.
New York.—Within two days of one
another, two tales of seafarers' daring
have come clicking over the cables,
bringing a moment's tang of adveuture
to newspaper readers.
The stories were those of the de
parture of the 45-foot yacht Sowitas-
goth from Hamburg for New York via
Funchal, and of the suffering of the
crew of the British steamship Tre
vessa—sixteen and eighteen men tn
two small boats, voyaging 3.000 miles
in the open sea. after their vessel
foundered in the Indian ocean.
There are daring and hardship of
different sorts in both these stories of
stout hearts. To the town dweller
they bring wonderment and the tribute
of admiration beneath the landsman's
sense of superiority in his security.
But to the men who know the sea
these are not things smacking of the
phenomenal—they are a part of the
day's work, some of the chances taken
by every man jack.
In taverns in many ports you can
hear stories of men In cockleshell
boats which make one wonder what Is
the limit to the prodigies of suffering
that can be undergone by the human
animal. Two thousand miles, three
thousand, four thousand. In boats
laden to the gunwales with men; no
water save rain; five days' food
stretched out to fifty; heat that mad-
dens, rights worse than the glaring
dayi and yet victory at last. A thou-
sand romances have been written
about such things, but of them all
there Is not one that approaches the
stark reality.
The Centaur, the Pandora, the
Bounty’s boat and the 8aginaw's gig.
the survivors of the Essex, which was
rammed and sunk by a south Pacific
whale In 1830—these are but chapter
headings in a romance that has no
end.
Of Another Category.
The yacht Sowitasgoth. with her
crew of three who hope to finish by
mid-August the first voyage of the
kind from a German port to New
York, is of another category, Yet
this alone, for all the implication of
pleasure in the word yacht, has its
heroisms and daring, Last February
six white men set out from China in
a twenty-seven ton yacht, the Shang
hai, bound for Copenhagen on a ten-
month voyage. Their route alone calls
up romance—Amoy, Batavia, the Sun-
da straits, Rodríguez (where the Tre-
vossa’s boats landed the other day).
Mauritius and Madagascar—the names
alone call up the glint of sua on break
ing waves and the sheen of palms.
An 18-ton yawl, the Mollie Lou,
made the 2.000-mlle trip from Hono
lulu to San Francisco in 27 days a
few years ago.
In some of these voyages cannibal
ism becomes more than a jlngier’s
jest.
The Medusa is the classic of this
sort, less perhaps from the disaster
Itself than from its celebration In
Gerlcault's painting, a picture consid
ered excellent in Its day and still as
big a drawing card In the Louvre as
''Washington Crossing the Delaware"
i
In galleries nearer the subway.
The Medusa was wrecked off the
west coast of Africa on July 2. 1816.
A raft was thrown together; 149 men
crowded aboard. Twelve days later
It was picked up In mid-ocean by a
British brig. There were fifteen sur-
vlvors left. Of the others, some had
drowned.
Five Men In a Blow.
Typhoon, trade, sirocco, monsoon—
all the winds figure In the tales of
small boats. In the case of the .Sag
inaw’s gig It was the Kona, bringing
rain, thunder and lightning off the
cliffs of the Hawaiian group. The
Kona raged when the gig'« five men
were worn out. William Halford wet
the sole survivor. He died only a year
ago.
In 1870 the Saginaw, a small naval
ship, went to Ocean Island, 1,700 miles
beyond Hawaii, to look for castaway«
and verify the Isle's position. The
Raglnaw hit the reef and all hands
crawled to the sandbank which is the
Island, a few feet high at most.
A 22-foot whaleboat was fitted up as
a gig and decked. Lieutenant J. G.
Talbot took command. Halford and
three other« vo[jjnteer^<l. Storms held
up their departure. At last the Sagi
naw's captain called all hands to

Judge Jesse Silwruian of New

James Cushing, with an empty

“If I had both arms I could

I'm only a poor old cripple.“

There was a corking good news
story written of this voyage when th*
survivors got to Honolulu. The writer,
a young reporter, made the Coast pa

Clemens.
Pitcairn Island. Inhabited now by
descendants of castaways, has annals
that stand alone. In 1789 the crew i
of the British navy ship Bounty mu

Lieutenant Bllgh. »nee with Captain I
Cook, was set adrift with eighteen !
men. Their 23-foot boat was so laden
that a fair swell was a crisis. They I

Mutineers Separate.
The mutineers separated; sixteen at
Tahiti built a schooner; the others
went to Pitcairn with the Bounty,
which they burnt, and settled down.
Two years later the warship Pan
dora was sent to get those at Tahiti.
On the way home she was wrecked
and four of the prisoners and thirty-
one of the crew of elghty-nlne were
lost. The survivors filled four str all
boats. They rowed and sailed 1,100
miles in eleven days, making Timor

passed through America during the
war, going to the front. It was 1808.

Christian, the mutineers' leader. Is
one of the men who cannot die. After
years, when the mutiny case had been

one of Bllgh's followers saw a man In

man caught a curious glance—and ran.

“Red Head»” Becoming
Rare, Scientist States
Washington.—The blonde girl has
become a subject of scientific re
search. Included In the annual report
of the Smithsonian institution, recent
ly made public, Is a serious, scientific
paper by Dr. Ales Hrdllcka of the
United States national museum, deal
ing with the color of the eyes, hair
and skin of 2,'SIO men and women
members of old American families.
The real blonde. Dr. Hrdllcka finds.
Is a rare object, but far rarer still
are the true redheads, and most rare
of all Is the absolute brunette. Among
men and women he found little dif
ference In the frequency of blondes
and brunettes, but there are fiva red-
beaded women to two red-headed men.
One out of every sixteen men haa
real blonde hair; one out of every 50
has red hair; one out of every 100
has hair that Is truly black.
One of every 14 women has blonde
hair; one out of every 20 women has
red hair; one out of 100 has solid
black hair.
Those In between are In the ma
jority—the mousy browns, the dish
water grays and those with no hair at
all.
One in every 200 men has pure
white skin, whereas one In fifty
women can claim that distinction.
