Tragic Story Told
On Note in Bottle
Found on Seashore
American Seamen, on Wrecked
Vessel, Make Way to Little
Island Only to Starve
LONDON, Sept. 15. (United
News) On a lltjle Island in the
center of the Indian ocean far
from the steamship lanes, may
be lying the bones of tlve Am
erican seamen, saved from drown
ing when tho Mary A. Boiling of
Philadelphia was wrecked in a
storm on March 18, 1924, ac
ccirdlng to a dispatch from Brus
sels to the Morning Post.
A nurse at a sanatorium at
Breedone, near Ostend, found In
the sands a bottle containing the
following message: "sailing ship
Mary A. Boiling from Philadel
phia wrecked In storm March
18, latitude 83, east, longltlude.
10 eolith. Five woro saved but
will starve unless somebody
comos soon. Please notify grand
father, P. S. Woods, 4103 Walnut
street. Philadelphia. For od's
sake, hurry."
The bottle with Its message ot
hope traveled many thousands of
miles before it was picked up In
Belgium. It had to drift south
and - west around Cape of flood
Hope at tho southern extremity
of Africa north along the entire
west African coast, Spain and
France, through the English
channel to the spot where 1t waa
plrked up.
How Jong It rested on the

It must 'have been 18 months ago
that the sailors, even then fac

Tom Frainey, Sought Here
Hears Of Brother's Death
And The Untold Secrets
Of Gold Mine
While his brother, John F.
Frainey, fought a losing fight with
death in a Portland hospital, holding
a secret of gold cached In the far
northlnnd. Tom Frainey worked on
a road being constructed by the
Deschutes national forest in the
Broken Top country. Frainey. still
employed at the forest road camp,
was notified, yesterday by telephone
that his brother died in Portland
on September 10.
."Ho "wilt "also lis (old that his
brother vainly searched for him Just
before his death, In order that
papers disposing ot gold mines in
Alaska might be signed. Both John
and Tom Frainey are uncles of I. A.
Towey, deputy coroner here.
It was when John Frainey was
notified by physicians in a Portland
hospital that he could not llvei that
he begged that his brother be lo
cated. But Tom Frainey had come
to the Bend country from the Natron
cut-off, and the search in the Klam
ath and Odell country was in vain.
Tom Frainey left from the Natron
cut-off about two weeks ago. A
group of Klamath Falls papers were
brought to the road camp several
days ago, but Frainey evidently did
not notice the) news stories about
ttio death of his brother.
In an attempt to locato the miss
ing brother, a radio message was
broadcast from Portland Just before
John F. Frainey died.

Thinks Method Senate Debate
Might Be Changed; Leaves
For North Tonight
That he will do everything In his
power further to aid Klamath tlm
bermen In their efforts to eradicate
the pine beetle, was the statement
made last night by Nick J. Slnnott,
republican congressman from The
Dalles, and chairman of the house
committee on public lands, who is
visiting for a short while in jClam
ath Falls, and who is registered at
the Hall hotel.
"Unquestionably," he said, "the
problem of doing away with the
beetle Is one ot great Importance.
To a degree, I believe, I was Instru
mental in raising the $160,000 ap
propriated by the government to be
used in this vicinity against the pest,
and I am convinced that a great
deal more money should be avail
able for the work."
Mr. Slnnott said that he is Just
"visiting" among residents of the
neighborhood, and Insisted that
there Is no particular significance
attaching to his appearance here.
Behind Kendrtrk Hill
He declared that, from, the start,
he has been behind the kendrlck
bill which, ho believes, would help
those persons Interested In 'reclama
tion projects. Irrigation, forest re
serves, public lands and' hlgsways.
In particular, are holding Mr. Sin
nott's interest.
He had nothing to say regarding
the proposal to cut out entrance tees
to national parks.
Regarding Dawes stand against
the senate, Slnnott simply said: "I
believe there should be some method
ot closing debato In the senate."
Sinnott left The Dalles last Fri
day. He expects to be In Klamath
Falls until this evening.

Council Decides to Act on Veto
of Strahorn Application At

Mayor Goddard's veto' Mon
day night of the council or
dinance ' passed September '8,
granting the Sawmill Engineer
ing and Construction company
the right to build a railroad
track along and near the east
shore of Lake Ewauna, , met
quick action with the city
council yesterday afternoon in
an adjourned session. It was
unanimously over-ridden and
the ordinance stands. The
spur line will be built at once,
according to officials of the
construction company.
The mayor claimed in his veto
message that building of the spur
line was another of the. so-called
Southern Pacific "secret"' moves.
The council, after weighty consid
eration, found the spur not to be
an S. P. move, and at the same time
a necessity and a boon to the Indus

The council also acted on the
Strahorn application to cross Sixth

delicate questions before the city
council over a period of the last
nine months. The mayor's veto,
which came months ago, was read
to the council and action deferred
until next Monday night. Action
will no doubt come then, one way or
the other. It is known that unless
the vote Is unanimous the mayor
will again veto the proposition.
