CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SEATTLE. THURSDAY. SEPT.


II In mere commonplace to say that
Puget sound and the entire Northwest
are entering upon an unparalleled era
OF development. II Is perfectly obvious
that the entire state OF Washington has
solid prospects for material growth
and progress, and that its upward and
onward march is already fairly under
way.
The combination ~ events and cir
for the direct benefit OF the North Pa
cifSc coast has been extraordinary. The
war and It's great victories and their
m0fnentOus results have Informed the
whole world that the Pacific coast and
the islands OF the Pacific are the arena
OF vas. future commercial opportuni-
ties. and the entire United States has
faced about from East to West. The
various industrial occupations in which
our people have been engaged are all
in healthy condition. Employment Is
plentiful and regular. Investments

the horizon of our fut9-c II We take

Sent Three:Men to Siboney for
Supplies Enough to Keep
Troops Alive.
SAVED BY THE RED CROSS
Dr.. Ward Says Army Supplies
Were Not Available at
Chickamauga.
Requisitlon After Requlsition
Was Forwarded Yet No
Relief Came.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The most sensa-
tionsl testimony Of the day before the
war investigating commission, in SEES.
sion here, was given by Colonel Turner
of the First Illinois, a participant in the
Santiago campaign. After detailing the
conditions at Chickamauga and Tampa,
he said,
II think there was very great over
sight at Siboney. We reached Siboney
On Saturday morning, July 8, and Cen
eral Reynolds then informed me that he
had received telephone orders that I
was to- disembark at once. When I
asked him what preparations had been
made for Decentralization he said: I
don't know anything about that. You
must fight that out yourself went
ashore and spent about two hours trying
to find somebody who would give me
some information as to how I was to get
my regiment on shore. We got off all
our men by the next day at noon, some
of our rations and some of our tentage,
but a good deal Of our stuff remained on
the transport and some of it was taken
to Porto Rico. For the first three days
we were at Santiago
W. Nearly Starved to Death.
We could get no supplies in any way.
Finally three of my men agreed to foot
it to siboney and bring back on their
backs enough supplies to keep the men
alive. In connection with this General
Shafter sent me a very sharp note com.
planning that I had not reported the sit
uation directly to him."
Regarding conditions at Montauk
!. Colonel Turner said he found little to
criticize. One thing he noticed was a
disposition to turn the men out of the
hospitals before they were entirely re-
covered. 81 found men" he said, '.who
had been discharged from the hospital
while in almost q state Of delirium. We
found four or five of our men, one Of
them almost unconscious, discharged
from the hospital"

Funeral Of Mrs. t1edstrom.

The funeral of Mrs. Hedstrom, who
was murdered by unknown parties at
Slaughter Wednesday night, took place
on Sunday at that place and was largely
attended. The manifestations of grief
clea -ly demonstrated the esteem and re-
spect in which she was held by the com
munity in which she had so long resided.
The services were conducted by Rev. N.
j. Thornquist, resident pastor of the
Swedish Baptist church, and the inter
ment was in the new public cemetery,
north of Slaughter.
Christine Elizabeth Hcdstrom was
born in Hoping, West Maitland, Sweden,
in 1927, and was married to Frederick
Hedstrom in 1854.
The family came to America in 1881
settling in Troy, N. Y. They came to
America in 1883, where the husband
died in 1891. Her surviving children are
Charles and Frederick Hedstrom resid-
ing in Illinois. Josephine, wife of w. J.
Rosenberg, residing in Minnesota; John
Hedstrom, a widower with six children;
Axel Hedstrom, unmarried, with whom
she made her home; Ellen Christine.
wife Of John E. Eckluni, and Albin
Hedstrom, whose wife was formerly Miss
Linnie Lee Slaughter, all the latter re.
siding at Slaughter neal home. To this

She was a devoted christian with life

afternoon of her life in company with
her daughter in-law she attended u meet.
ing of the ladies church society OF
Slaughter, in which she was an active
leader. It was her nightly custom to
read her bible two hours each evening
before retiring to rest, and the position
Of this book on the table beside her bed
with her glasses lying on it showed that
the last act Of her life before retiring
that night, had been one of devotion.

Speed Of the Bicycle.

Aoorrespondent Of Tho Scientific Amer
lean gives this formula for determining
the speed at which a bicycle is ridden:
Multiply the gear by 10 and divide by
Sc. Call the result seconds. The number
Of complete revolutions made by either
pedal in thot number Of seconds shows the
rate Of miles per hour. Example-1f your
gear is "a, then 81 multiplied by 10, divid-
ed by So, equals Is, and II either pedal
makes 30 revolutions in is seconds you
are riding ut the rate Of 20 miles to the
hour. II the gear is 67.2, then 67.2 null
tiplied BY 10. divided by Sc, equals IL, and
90 revolutions made in 10 seconds equals
30 miles to the hour.

DR.. Ward Testines Regarding Conditions
at Chickamauga.

DR.. Ward Testiles Regarding Conditions
at Chickamaugs.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Dr. Milo B. Ward
of Kansas City testified during the aft
ernoon before the wal investigating
commission. He declared, when asked
as to the condition of the hospitals at
Chickamauga, that there was a great
lack of medicines, only some of the very
simplest medicines being on hand. In
reply to further questions DR.. Ward
said:
1.-THE necessities were not available
from the army supplies and had it not
been for the Red Cross some of the SOL
diers would not have survived. Requisi-
ton after requisition was forwarded and
yet no, relief came. The nurses as q
rule were incompetent and Indifferent,
though some were more faithful than
others. The location Of the hospital
was extremely bad in my Judgment. It
was in q very low sort Of a place and the
sinks were in a filthy condition most Of
the time. want to say that that is one
Of the causes Of the spread Of the ty-
phoid fever"
When asked for his opinion as to the
responsibility for the conditions at
Camp Thomas, DR.. Ward said: "For
the condition of the camp, first, the man
who insisted ta0t the camp was perfect
and that the hospital was well run.

Iowa Physician ON the Stand.
Dr.. Louis Schooler Of Des Moines, Ia,
who was stationed at Camp Thomas as
chief surgeon of the Second division,
Third corps, from June Z to July
II, was on the stand for some
time. Questioned by Dr.. Conner he
said that during the time he was there
the sanitary condition in the hospitals
Yves not very good; that the sinks in the
whole division were bad, owing prin-
,cpally to the character Of the ground,
end the discipline was rather lax.
Said DR.. schoolor: There were
practically no facilities for the care Of
the sick;we were short Of medicines
and had no apparatus by which the
rtewards could prepare the medicines
,y,lat we had. The regimental hospitals,
ii but one or two, were as
POORLY supplied with medicines as
The division hospitals. Regulations
were made fot them but they were gem
orally disapproved at the camp head
quarters. The supply department had
certain hours for issuing supplies and
at other times nothing could be OBJ
tanned. There was q scarcity OF beds in
the hoepitals. At one time half the
nursing force were sick or IN the guard
house for INSTRUMENTATION. =
N regtudto the water supply at the
camp, Dr.. Schooler said that he did not
think any ct the surgeons in his divi-
WON considered the water Ct to drink.
