Lost Off Unalaska by the Capsizing of a
 Boat.
Perish in an Attempt to Cross Dutch HarbOr in a
 Storm.
Their Craft Found Bottom Upward, but Search for the Bodies
 Is Fruitless.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, March 26.-In the dark ness of the stormy night of March four men met death while trying to cross the narrow bay between Una laska and Dutch Harbor in a small boat. The unfortunate men were John C. Doern of St. Louis, Mo-, Peter J. Doern of St. Louis, Mo-. c. A. Andrews of Ironton, Ohio, and F. H. Tracy of Cincinnati, Ohio. They left Unalaska late Sunday night to go across to Dutch Harbor, where they were stopping. The night was very squally, but the wind comparatively quiet when they started. Soon it began to blow and in the morn ing the men were missing. The boat was found in Summer Bay by boats from the United States revenue cutter Bear. No trace had been found of the bodies up to the time the steamship Bertha left Unalaska, which was on March Il.
 John c. Doern and Peter c. Doern were father and son. They had left their happy home in St. Louis to go to Alaska and had stopped off at Una laska to prospect. c. 4. Andrews and F. H. Tracy were employed by the North American Transportation and Trading Company. All four had spent the afternoon with friends at Unalaska. They had crossed the narrow bay in their boat and desired to take the craft back with them when they left in the evening. By walking a mile and a half around the end of the bay they could have reached Dutch Harbor and would not have had to cross the bay. The path was wet and slippery and they would have had to leave the boat behind, so all four entered the craft and pushed out into the bay.
 The storm increased shortly after they left the shore. In the morning they had not arrived at Dutch Harbor and searching parties were organized. The United States cutter Bear sent out several small boats and Agent Walter Ferguson of the Northern American Transportation and Trading Company sent out men. A boat from the Bear finally discovered the missing boat on the beach in Summer Bay. It was up- side down and the bottom was badly smashed. Near by was found the hat of the elder Doern.
 It is supposed that their boat cap sized and in the storm and cold the men quickly sank. Search for their bodies was kept up for several days without success.
 Doern leaves a widow and several children in St. Louis. Andrews leaves a widow A letter from her addressed to him reached here to-day. Tracy had a mother in Ohio. The effects of the men were brought down by the Bertha and will be sent East.

HEAVY FROST FOLLOWS RAIN Grain as Well as Fruit Destroyed in Santa
 Clara. Damage the Greatest Expe- rienced in Years in the
 Valley.
Downfall of Snow Covers Foothi1l Regions With a Mantle
 of White.
Special Dispatch to The Call


 SAN JOSE, March 26.-A cold wave struck Santa Clara County last night, and after the soaking rain or yester- day morning heavy frost resulted. Great damage was done to cereals The entire almond, peach, aprlcot ana prune crop of the valley was destroyed, as well as the grain. Vegetables sui fered to a great degree. The farmers say it is the worst frost that ever struck this section at this time or the year, and the damage is greater than ever before known.
 BAKERSFIELD, March 26-It began raining about 9 o'clock last night, ana before the shower was over 70 or an inch had fallen. The mountains are heavily mantled with snow low down on the foothills. The weather IS quite cool and there are indications or more rain tonight.
 PORTERVILLE, March 26.-Fifty- six one-hundredths Of an men or ram fell here during last night. About three inches of snow fell during the prec1pl- tation and remained on the ground till the sun shone on 1t this morning, when it soon disappeared. few more snow CTS would insure a crop of hay.
 EVANSVILLE, March 26.-Competent experts agree that the probable dam age to the several crops from frost has been greatly exaggerated, so lar as this section is concerned. A prominent fruit-grower, who has interests in Butte, as we'll as Tuba county, sums up the situation as follows:
 Nearly every year the cry goes up that the frost has killed all our fruits, yet as spring hurries forward the trees either put out buds that were dormant or the examiners overlook many buds that were not killed, for the crop turns out quite fair. The river bottom or chards this spring have suffered se- verely and some of the owners assert that the almonds and apricots ha ge all been killed. 1 do not believe 1t. Not but that the owners think they are telling the exact truth but because, as rule, they are always more scared than hurt. Mark my words, there will be much more of a crop than fruit growers now think there will be. The same conditions do not prevail over the whole of Butte County, and while in some orchards all the almonds or apricots may be killed, yet in others at a higher altitude the fruit is not injured in the least. The county, there fore-and what is true of one foothill is true of all-will have a pretty fair crop of all kinds of fruit"
 The cold snap, while putting a rag ged edge" on the grain in Tuba and Sutter counties, has not injured it to speak of, and all over this section the crops look well.

FEAR INV ASION
 BY SHEEPMEN People Of San Bernardino County Are Up in
 Arms.
Oppose a Plan for the Opening of a Forest Reserve to
 Stock.
Believe It Would at Once Endanger the Mountain Water
 Supply
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN BERNARDINO, March 26.-The
 San Bernardino forest reservation is in
 danger of an invasion of stock, and as
 a consequence the water supply of
 some of the principal cities of this
 county, to say nothing of vast num- 1 Der of irrigation and power schemes
 about the valley, is threatened. It had
 been generally known for some time
 that the dry season threatened to pro-
 duce famine among the live stock, but in this section people thought little of the matter, as there are no sheep and few cattle in the county. Until this
 year no sheep had ever been found in
 the county, and now only two fiocks are located here.
 A scheme, however, has been discov-
 cred which causes the gravest appre- hension among people. Sheep men of Orange and Los Angeles counties have
 been working around, and, with the aid of few sheep dealers of this coun- ty, have prepared a petition to be sent to President Mckinley urging that the reservation here be opened for the sea-
 son to sheep and cattle.
 They have converted Senator White to the scheme and it is said B. T. AL len, the Forestry Agent, also is favora- Dle. The aSltatOrS nave got to the ear
 of local Supervisors by representing
 that thousands of head of sheep and
 cattle could be saved at no detriment to the county, and without giving the other side a hearing the chairman of the board was instructed to sign the petition.
 The people heard of the action, and | raised such an uproar that the sigma
 ture was withheld pending a reconsid- eration. Interviews with a majority of 1 the board show that the action will be revoked.
 The people were strongly opposed to the measure and hold that the relief
 would be insufficient and only tempo rary and the county would be imme- diately be overrun by thousands of head of stock, which, when the feed
 gives out, would die and endanger the health of the people. The sheep de- stroy the foliage on the water sheds, thus irreparably damaging the water supply.
 For these reasons a fierce fight is | being made to save the reservation. Outside sheep herders feel so confident of winning that already focks have
 made their appearance in this county.
 Fully 10000 sheep have been driven in l in the past few days. They have not entered the reservation, but are for
 aging on the borders and valley bot toms This is but a hint of what will occur should the reservation be open ed, and the residents are much wor-
 ried over the prospects.
