which circle swarms of mechanics,
busy preparing the big ship for the
plunge into the bay. Planted firmly
upon the stocks some thirty feet above the

like a monster turtle lying upon its back.
There are no graceful lines or sweeping
curves to admire, simply broad expanse
of riveted iron plates to greet the eye,
impressing the sightseeker with the
enormous strength and solidity of
the battleship. Viewed from distance
the Oregon assumes q most attractive APP

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. From fishermen
arriving in the city today it was learned
that another section of the state suffered
the same fate as unfortunate Cheneire. II
is the district known as the Louisiana
marshes on Lake Borgne. near Bayou
Muscalo. A number of fishermen had
banded together aud erected clus-
ter of cabins convenient TO the
oyster beds. The cabins are now
gone and the occupants unaccounted
for, with few exceptions. Not yes tige OF
house remains in the vicinity. and the
shore for miles is strewn with wreckage,
luggers and other craft. while among the
brush are TO be seen bodies of sailors and
Others. Since Sunday night the survivors
have suffered greatly from lack of food.

Supplies are flowing in from all sides,
and several boats have gone today and

Virtues of the Cedar shinsie.

A correspondent of an English icmber
paper gives the following information on
an experiment made with cedar single.
A green shingle. fresh from the saw, was
measured and weighed, care being taken TO
get both exact. 1t was found that it
weighed seven ounces. Il was then dried
and again weighed and measured. IL had
shrunk nearly one-eighth inch. while the
weight had decreased from seven to three
ounces. 1t was then submerged in water
twenty-four hours. and the size had not
changed particle, while the weight had
increased about one ounce. He claims
that this demonstrates the superiority of
cedar shingles over others. as, when once
dry, they will neither shrink with exces-
siye heat nor pry one another off the roof
in wet weather

RAIN ON THE WHEAT.
Storm Causes Heavy Loss to
Eastern Washington Farmers.
IN THE MIDDLE or THE HARVEST.


WALLA WALIA, Oct. Especial. lit has
rained almost continuously during the
past twenty-fonr hours and Is still raining.
without prospect of letting up. One and
eighty-seven hundredths inches OF rain
have fallen this week, and the outlook for
unthreshed grain is getting gloomy. There
is fortunately q much smaller proportion
of the crop unharvested here than in other
portions of the state. Fully nve-sixihs OF
the crop here is threshed.
SPOKANE, Oct 1.-ESpecial. The Rerie'c
specials from all parts OF the Paiouse and
Big Bend grain section uniformly report
serious damage 10 the crops by continual
heavy rains. The harvest this year Is
fully month later than usual, and much
grain is still standing. As rule.
standing grain is in better condi-
ton than grain in the swafh aud
stack. Some of the latter is sprouting and
much of IL is damaged. The danger is in
tensified by = shortage of sacks. Some
sections report q loss OF from D 10 80 per
cent. If fair weather could come at once
the loss in the whole country would prob
ably not exceed IS or 20 per cent. but If
ram continues another week the damage
will be incalcnlable.
CoLFAx, Oct. Especial. l-Incessant
rain has done and Is doing irreparable
damage 70 grain. Storms have been hold
ing over the Palouse valley for four days
steady and rain during that time has
fallen in sheets, with a few intervals of
very short duration. Thousands of acres
of wheat have been knocked down, and
what is not knocked down is swollen so il
will be ruined for milling purposes unless
warm, dry weather soon sets in. Deputy
Sheriff Tacho said today that some of his
wheat near st. John is already sprouting
in the head. Much more wet weather
will serve all the same way. Even should
dry spell set in Immediately il would be
many days before harvesting could be
resumed, as the fields are sopping wet and
the stacks could not dry out before
ten days.
