CAPTAIN WAS A FOOL.
Wreck of the Atlanta Occurred
During a Race.
TREMENDOUS RISKS TAKEN
Ship Crushed Like an EggsheII
at the First Impact.

Portland Ore, Nov. I9.-One Of The sur
vivors of the Inflated Atlanta claims
that the wreck was due to the careless
ness OF the captain. who paid for his
folly with his life They were racing
with another vessel and were keeping
tage of the wind in lacking and to make
a short cut 10 head the other vessel Off
They were close in shore and not seeing
the light at Cape Foul Weather, steered
ahead until they struck the reef about
four miles below Alsoa bay and about
one mile and a half from there, with
such terrific force as to snap the masts
OFF like toothpicks. carrying the rigging
and everything with ii. Two of the sur
vvors after reaching land made their
way to cabin and, awakening the occu-
pants, started them in all directions for
help. The farmers were very slow in no.
tifying the life-saving station at South
Beach, twenty miles away, and they did
not reach the wreck for ten hours after
ii occurred.
Captain Clark and his life crew endeav-
ored to reach the wrec kand rescue any
that might be on the wreck or penned up
in the forecastle. as supposed by the sur
vivors, but having no horses. it was very
difficult to get the surf boat wagon and
the cannon down the beach toward the
wreck, twenty miles away, and they were
compelled to draw them by hand. They
arrived at Aasoa early in the morning,
and hurrying TO the wreck found that
the ywere unable to do anything, as the
ship was beyond the reach of their lines
and their cannon was useless. The ship
had broken in two and the waves were
dashing over her.
Newport, near where the Atlanta was
lost, in located in Benton county, on an
in the long, even coast line of
Oregon. The place is a dangerous one
at the best, safe anchorage being almost
impossible to obtain. and many good YES
sells have gone to pieces on the coast.
The wreck occurred between Newport
and Alsea Bay, the latter point being
about 100 miles north of Coos ably, and in
all this 100 miles there is not a spot where
a ship can safely land.
Captain Charles Mcbride, or Prince
Charlie" as ne avs best known, was a
special favorite among the British and
American shipmasters in this port.

THE MILK QUESTION.
Why the Dairymen Have Advanced
the Price.

The reason for the advance in the
price of milk, which will take effect
ON July LIST, is that the price of feed
stufs. Hay, grain, etc. has advanced at
an alarming rate i'm the past three or
four months, and the raise in milk is
made by the dairymen in the hope
of causing both ends of the business
to meet.
At best the work of the dairymen
and the Association for the past year
or two has gone for naught, they
claim. They have found the business
devoid of profit, and in many instances
money has been sunk. One dairyman is
known to have lost $4,000 since first
engaging in the business. Some small
Ter men have lost in about like pro-
portions.
Another experience of the dairymen
of which they complain, which
has not added to their income
nor their regard for the business, is
that in the past year the government
has killed over hundred
cows belonging to them, for which
they We've never remunerated and new
er will he. The animals were alleg-
ed to have been afflicted with tuber-
culoss.
a prominent dairyman said yester-
| day afternoon: eve are trying to do
the best possible for the people, but
we cannot afford to go on losing mon
ey If the war continues and prices
keep on going up we may be obliged
eventually to charge 25 cents quart
| for milk. We cannot help this. If
the people are not willing to pay the
prices why all we can do is to close
up the dairies and go into some 9TH
er line. As for me I am ready and
willing to do it now, for the business
thus far has been an expense and a
worry to no profit"
