climb. Up we went like monkeys
and when the last Of the seven ladies
had landed, we heard a "bravo" and
the men came clambering after.
The rest Of the evening was devoted
to gratifying our curiosity as to the
personnel Of our sailing party. Our
party at table consisted, besides the
captain and mate, Of three much
travelled young ladies and their
Quaker chaperon, my two cousins and
their chaperon, business man Of
Portland and his wife, a dentist and a
resident Of Honolulu. The talents Of
the company were varied so that we
seldom lacked for amusement. Best
Of all we had an unusually accommo-
dating captain. Though our own
staterooms we're large and comfort
able, be extended his own elegant
parlors for the use Of the passengers
and in them we had many pleasant
gatherings. N
We were to sail Thanksgiving
morning but the captain announced
that we would spend another day
skirting' the bay and adjusting COM

probably because the whole crew had
celebrated Thanksgiving eve in their
own peculiar way. At any rate,

and Thanksgiving dinners. We re.

and with parting instructions not to
return again we were hurried into q

rope ladder and went up on the upper
deck to enjoy the last night view Of

many gales in coming around Cape
Horn, she was now ready for her
maiden voyage across the Pacific.
Not ready either as we learned when
the crew deserted in body! The
work Of finding new crew was &C.
complished toward evening.
For the third time we we're lunged
through the Golden Gate, sails went
up, the tug cut loose and we were
skimming over the blue waters like a
huge white winged bird. But we did
not continue TO sail. AT the most we
had only three days Of the delight OF
brisk sailing. At those times sitting
on the deck under the spell Of moon
and stars and song and laughter, |
could understand how sailors love the

WHICH JOE SMITH?
Controversy Over Identity of the
Sheep Man.

0neSp mdn.
Ever since a communication to the
city council, signed by one Joseph
Smith. was presented about three
weeks ago, protesting against the pro-
posed sale of the city's AZ 1-3x160 feet
of ground adjoining the Eighth ward
meeting house to the relief society of
the ward for 1900 and offering to pay
$4,000 for the land, frequent reference
has been made to this Mr.. Smith as
the well known Sheepman. Now Joseph
Smith, the sheepman, denies that he
protested against the sale or offered
$4,000 for the property. On the con-
trary he says he favors the municipal
ity selling the land to the ward relief
society for 81. He declares it must
have been another Joe Smith.
When the Smith communication was
read to the council, Councilman Rob
ertsOn said, in reply to a. question, that
the Joseph Smith who offered $4,000
was Joe Smith-yoU know him, every
body knows Joe Smith, that bid red
faced, administered fellow; yes, Joe
Smith, the sheepman; he was in to see
me about this matter"
Other members of the council con-
Cured in the declaration that this
Joseph Smith was the sheepmen, just
as Robertson had described.

HUNDREDS ARE LEFT
HOMELESS BY FIRE

CloveTport, KY, March 1.-THE
bursting of natural gas pipe at mid
night started a fire that destroyed
property worth half million dollars.
The greater part of this little town was
completely wiped out, and over 1000
persons, about one-half of the popula--
ton, are homeless, and were in great
distress until a special relief train from
Louisville reached here. The heaviest
loser is the American Tobacco COM
pany, which lost two large stemmerieS
and 1000, 900 pounds OF tobacco. The
company's loss has not been estimated.
Bucket brigades were formed, and
men and women alike fought the
flames valiantly, but to no purpose.
Exhausted women and children huddled
in little groups. wherever shelter could
be found from the biting cold of the
night and early morning. NeighbOring
towns were asked for assistance in
fighting the fire, but before it could be
rendered the high wind had swept the
flames through the place, making the
devastation complete.
AS soon as the management Of tho
Louisville, Henderson & St Louis rail-
road learned that hundreds of people
were homeless. they ordered available
coaches between Louisville and Hen
derson hurried to Cloverport, and in
these the unfortUnates viii, for the
time being, make their homes. The
management also sent 5000 lOaves of
bread and other food. Not store was
left in the town where a mOuthful Of
food could be obtained. Adjutant Cen
eral Murray telegraphed that 500 tentS
had been shipped from Frankfort, and
the authorities at Louisville wired that
a trainload of relief supplies quickly
gathered would leave at noon.

LOOKING FOR PEACE.
England Looking Hopefully for Sur
render of Beers.

New York, March 1.-THE feeling
of confidence that terms of peace with
the Beers will be arranged is increased,
says a London dispatch to the Tribune.
The argument which is heard among
them is based upon the natural infer
ence that De Larey and Dewet can
saddle upon Botha the responsibility
for initiating tire peace movement.
The only honor which remains for
the Boer generals who have resisted
the resources of the British empire
for eighteen months is that Of holding
out in the last ditch and being drawn
with reluctance into peace negotia-
tons. Dewet and De Larey can now
have the distinction of being faithful
to the end and yielding to an appeal
from Botha to abandon the hopeless
conflict.
Military men are convinced that the
Boer conference will be held, to take
Vaal, as is now probable. and that the
Boer leaders will begin by protesting
against surrender and end by accept
ing the terms offered by Lord Kitch-
ener and Sir Alfred Miner after hold
ing Botha accountable for the final
collapse of their cause.
President Steyn remains in arms and
is probably the most irreconcilable
among the Boer leaders, but the
Transvaal Dutch. in the person of
Botha, have signaled for truce, and
their allies from the Orange Free
State are no longer in position to in
sist upon fighting in the last ditch to
the bitter end.

SHOULD UNITE ON PARKINSON
OPINION OF MR.. PARKINSON
HIMSELF.
torship Explains Why Callister
Cannot Get It.

As the situation is viewed by George
c. Parkinson. Utah is not at all likely
to walk off with the internal revenue
collectorship from this district. Mr..
Parkinson is the candidate from Idaho
for this fat Office. and by reason of the
fact that he came straight from Wash
ington 10 this city, arriving yesterday.
he is believed to be informed suffi-
GENTLY to pass an opinion upon the
situation.
1T is well known that Montana,
Idaho and Utah, the states composing
this revenue collecting district, are
each trying for the cOllectOrship," said
Mr.. Parkinson last evening, but it is
conceded in Washington that no one
of the states named can control the ap-
pointment- Unless Utah and Idaho
combine, the collectorship will remain
where it is, with headquarters at Hell
ena, Mont, and Idaho may have to
help make it go that way.
MY proposition" continued Mr.
Parkinson, lis for Utah and Idaho to
unite by giving the collectorship TO
the Idaho man, but making headQuar-
ters at salt Lake and giving all of the
deputyShlpS to Utah men, Senator
Kearns has done all that he could to
get the Utah man appointed, but even
he has not succeeded, for the reason,
as L SAD, that no one or the three
states can control the appointment.
recognize the fact that idaho has the
least claim for the appointment, and
that while Utah is the Republican
state, Montana has by far more collec-
tiOnS than the other two states COM
bined. But the situation is just as
have stated. Provided that Collector
Webster is given another position in
the government service, a man named
Miller, also of Helena, is a candidate
for the cOIlectOrShip. But there is
great danger of Webster's -reappOint-
ment unless Utah combines with Idaho
to get it. 1 have no idea when the APP
pointment will be made"
When asked if such a proposition as
he outlined had not Eeen made to Ed
ward H. Callister, the Utah candidate
for the collectOrship, to induce him to
withdraw from the contest, Mr.. Park
inson said evasively that he had not
seen the Utah man. Then Mr. Parkin-
son told of the unanimous support he
had of the Idaho Republicans, headed
by Senator Shoup, and of the strong
Endorsements he had received from very
many of the leading and most infiuen-
tiaI Republicans in Utah Replying to
the statement that a large number Of
his Utah indorserS had Withdrawn
their support in favor of Mr.. Callister,
the gentleman from Idaho said ne had
received no notice of any such with
drawals, and he did not believe the
story had any foundation in truth.
