ro POUR DAHT CAPITAL JOUEKAL, SALEM, OREGON, TUESDAY, APBIL SS, 1912. COLORADO GERTAIfJLY GOES S0L1E IBMITID PttKiB U11ID Will. Sacramento, Cal., April 23. Copies of each of the Initiative petitions now being circulated In Colorado under the new direct legislation law passed In that state last winter were re ceived here today. Among these measures for which the people of Colorado are working are: A constitutional amendment estab lishing the recall of all elective offi cials ; a recall of decisions of courts declaring laws unconstitutional; the allowing of trial by Jury and before another Judge to anyone charged by a judge with contempt of court not committed in his Immediate pres ence; a "mothers" compensation bill, promoted by Judge Ben B. Llnd say, of Denver, providing pay for needy mothers to Btay at home and take care of their children, rather than having the state pay for the children's care in a state institution and a bill establishing state coal mines, whse product Is to be solddt rect to consumers as nearly as pos sible at cost. Another amendment sought Is to create a public utilities court, simi lar to the California state railroad commission. Still another would utilize all school houses after school hours as forums for the people for discussion of public questions. DOBBS TO SHOW HIS WONDERFUL FIXTURES HERE Straight from the heart of Alaska, where he has been for 10 years, comes Beverly B. Dobbs, the Alaskan photographer, with a remarkable col lodion of arctic films. For two hours Mr. Dobbs leads his audience over snow and Ico; sometimes by land, sometimes by sea, portraying In a most intimate manner all of the strange nooks and crannies In the land tip there. One moment the spectator Is enjoying the more or less sedate business of watching a gold clean-up. the next, he la leaning forward as the little schooner crushes her way through tho polar ice In the wake of an Immense polar bear. Later he Is traveling over the C00 mllo mall route In the land of the great whlto silence, behind Eric Johnson's fnmous mall dog team. The next he Is traveling the mighty Yu kon and watching the midnight sun at Circle City, and the next, ascend ing In a bucket lino up the moun tains at an elevation of 35(10 feet in a rido of three and a half miles to the great Bonanza mine, tho richest copper mine in the world. Dobbs and his camera will bo at the Grand Opera House Frldny and Suturday, April 26 and 27, with Sat urday matinee. HE This wili probably vbe MY UNLUCKY DAY tVtRY TICK OF THt CLOCK.

Unlike lard, Cottolene makes food wholesome, nourishing, digestible. It is made from Cottonseed Oil, the use of which Dr. Wiley so strongly has commended. Cottolene shortens your food length ens your life, and saves you money at the same time. COMPLAIN OF THE FOOD AND STRIKE The track laying crew of the Ore gon Electric went on a strike yester day on account of the cooking and serving of the food furnished by the boarding camp. There were about 200 men affected, and with 150 laid off by the contracting firm of Guthrie, Mc Doogall & Co., the city Is pretty well filled up with Idle men. They are mostly Greeks, ItallanB and Austri an s, but there are few Americans among them. They are all pretty well supplied with mono-, and seem to be pretty peaceable and quiet for men of that class. There was no dispute about wages, but there waa a strong protest on account of the food. The men claim they cannot work on the food supplied, which Is spoiled In cooking and arrangements will be made at once for a new gang of cooks, and then the men will re turn to their work. Some of them have already returned, but there are not enough to start work. The strike occurred about six or seven miles up the river near Hall's ferry where the end of the track is now. From pres ept Indications, the officials of the road say, that within a day o two a full crew will be at work, after which time work will be rushed along at the rate of two miles of track a day. It Is claimed that a Portland firm has the contract for supplying all la borers at so much per man, and that this firm is not dissatisfied when the men quit, aa It geta Its $2 for each man sent up In the place of the quit ters. It Is Intimated that this had something to do with the trouble. Don't be surprised If you have an at tack of rheumatism this spring. Just rub the affected parts freely with Chamberlain's Liniment and It will soon dlsnppear, Sold by J. C. Perry's Drug Store. Corvallla subscribed $113.33 for the famine stricken In China.

WILLAMETTE WILL HAVE A STRONG TEAM From the results of the tryout for the Varsity track team yesterday af ternoon It locks as though Willam ette will have some track team this year. Not withstanding the fact that the season Is early yet and that some of the men have only been out once or twice before the tryout," some fine records were made and to those who are Interested In this end of the university's athletics, things look bright for a winning team. The try out uncovered some fast men, espec ially in the sprints, Mclnturff, who won the quarter and the hundred, is a new man and looks like a point winner. Doane at the first night out took the pole vault at nine feet five and should raise that a great deal before the end of the season. The following are the results: 220, Lowe first; mile, Burdette first, Marsh second, Stearns third; time, five min utes, seven seconds. High Jump: Mills, B feet Shot: Francis, first; Blackwell, second. Fifty-yard dash: Stlmson, first; Mclnturff, second; Dlackwell, third. One hundred yard dash: Mclnturff, first; time, 10-2-5; broad Jump, Blackwell first, Doane second; discus, Pfaff; quarter-mile, Mclnturff first, Joseph second; pole vault, Doane, 9 feet, 5 Inches; low hurdles, Mills first, Francis second. The 80-yard run and the high hur dles were postponed. o FLAST 100 ACRES TO LOGANBERRIES Speaking of the loganberry busi ness, people will be interested to know of the largest acreage yet planted by any one grower. Refer ence Is made to tho farm of L. H. Roberts, and his associates, who have bought a large farm on the Garden Bond four miles east of the city. They have already planted 100 acres of logans, 120 acres of potatoes, 40 acres of cherries and 35 acres of prunes. This has been done quietly, but It Is well done, on the best of soil and will produce a big crop of money producing stuff. Potatoes have also been planted between the fruit rows, which materially in creases the earning capacity of the project. They have secured a fine quality of loganberry plants, which will no doubt produce over hnlf a crop next year. This will make work for scores of luborers and fruit pickers in season, and promises to be a money maker for the owners as well. To Unre a Cold In One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.

(Continued from page 1.) she seemed about five miles away. This was at daybreak, and all cries had stopped long before." The officer stated that he saw no bodies floating In the water. At 1:30 o'clock, he said, he saw a white light on the horizon, but was unable to tell whether It was from a lifeboat or a steamer. PIttman then went into details of the scene, which lioxhall, fourth of ficer of the Titanic, had described. He said that he saw distress rockets sent up from the Titanic, but saw no morse signals. As the Titanic sank he looked at his watch and noted that it waa 2:20 a. ni according to the ship's time. He had not heard that the Frankfort was near the scene. How Ship Went Down. The officer admitted that if every lifeboat had been crowded they would have accommodated only 1200 persons He asserted that he transferred two mon, a woman and a baby from his boat to lifeboat No. 7, at their re quest. Asked to describe the Tltanlc's foundering, he said: 'The Titanic was submerged to the forecastle, and afterwards turned over and went down perpendicularly. I heard four reporU like big guns In the distance. This was probably caused by the bulkheads bursting. I do not think the boilers exploded. "I saw people on the after deck when the boat sank. Every one whom I saw on the ship wore a lifebelt ex cept a few members of the crew. I did not see Captain Smith when the Titanic sunk." Cries Were Pitiful. Asked if he heard cries of distress, he replied gadly: "Oh, yes. I heard crying, sobbing and moaning and praying, too, nut there was no noises until the ship sank." PIttman started his testimony In a laconic nnd brusque manner. Com ments on his stolldness were audible In every part of the room. Then the committee began questioning him on the scenes on the Titanic when It was found that there was no hope of sav ing the vesbel. Plttman's demeanor underwent a complete change, and In a choking voice he begged the com mittee not to press him regarding the death cries of the trapped victims. A Chorus of Woe, "The prayers and moans of the pas sengers arose In a mighty chorus of woe when they learned that hope had vanished," PIttman said. "It was a continual moan for an hour, and It died away gradually. I wish you had not referred to this." Women spectators wept, and the senators composing the committee chaded tholr eyes as PIttman de scribed the scenes at the Blaklng of the "unslnkable Titanic." J. Brlce Ismay, PIttman said, waa standing near a lifeboat, and he heard him ask about a boat loaded with wo men. Captain Smith, PIttman said, followed out Ismoy's suggestions In Issuing ordors. PIttman declared his boat saved 40 passengers, In addition to six mem bers of the Tltanlc's crew. He heard four exploaloua, he said, and then the Tltanto pitched perpendicularly Into the depths. Wm.
