TWO KILLED BY TORNADO.
Storm Sweeps Over Remote Part Of Ala
bama With Deadly Effect.

Dama WIN Dehoiy EHeSt'
Birmingham, Ala, April 16.-A spe
cial to the Age-Herald from Evergreen
Ala, says:
News has just reached here by tele-
phone confirming rumors of heavy loss
of life and property In the neighbor
hood OF Peterman and Burnt Corn
wrought by the tornado which passed
near there yesterday. Ten persons are
known to have been killed, numerous
barns and residences and Outhouses
were swept away, entailing q loss
which will reach high in the thousands
On account of the bad condition of the
wires communication is difficult.
H. P. Salter and his mother and
child were riding along a road and
were opposite a clump of trees when
the storm overlook them. A heavy
tree that was uprooted by the wind fell
across the wagon, crushing all Of the
occupants to death. Several residenc.
es were demolished, the timber falling
on the occupants, killing or injuring
all within the buildings.
1t will probably be several days be-
fore a correct list of the casualties
can be obtained, as there is neither
telegraph nor railroad connection. The
heavy rains have rendered the roads
almost impossible. Peterman Is in
Monroe county, and is not within rs
miles of a railroad or telegraph sta
tien.
All the news so far received has
come over the telephone lines, which
are several miles from the path Of the
storm,

COAL LEDGE FOUND.
Specimens From Near WlIholt Springs
OF Excellent Quality.

According to report brought from
the vicinity of Wilhoit Springs, 81
miles east of Oregon City, in the foot
hills of the Cascade Mountains, and in
Clackamas county, that portion OF the
county is likely In the near future tc
prove one Of the greatest wealth-pro
ducing sections of the county. F. C.
Barstow, of that place, has sample
OF coal which b says has been taken
from ledge Just unearthed on his
claim, which he claims to have been
looking for for the past IL months.
The sample that he showed was al
most pure carbon, and was as fine a
specimen of the 'fblack diamond" as
can be found anywhere between the
two oceans. According to his story the
vein is from six to ten feet thick and
shows every indication OF being per-
manent.
It has long been known that there
are fine prospects for coal in that sec
tlon, and many samples Of coal picked
up from the hillsides have been exhib-
tied, but 1t IL said that this is the first
find of any consequence, and 1t Is now
believed that claims that have not
been filed on in that vicinity will soon
be taken up.
AS the new electric railroad, for
which G. d. Latourette recently Sc
cured 4 franchise, Is supposed to run
to the vicinity of Wilhoit Springs, 1t
is believed that this find will be an in
centive to hurry up the building Of the
road.

Decision on Plans VIII Then Be Reached
MAY Modify Harts plan to Keep
Within Limit = Win Also Examine
ROutc-Scheme for Continuous Canal
From Big Eddy to Cello.

Washington, April 15.-Representa-
tive Moody, before leaving Washing
ton, had q final conference with the
members of the Board of Engineers
having under consideration the open
Ing of the Columbia River from The
Dalles to Cello, and was informed
that the Board will meet in Portland
May II to consioer more fully all data
that has recently been collected by
Major Lang1tt regarding the portion
OF the river to be improved.
Mr.. Moody says that, while 1t Is i'm.
possible to say what the Board will
finally report, its conclusion will
largely depend upon calculations to
be based on data that has been com
piled by Major Langhtt, bearing on
the several notifications or substi-
tuition for the Harts project.
Mr.. Moody also had under consider.
alton with the engineers the removal
OF one Of the reefs at Ten-Mile Rap.
Ids, with a view to facilitating steam.
boat navigation up to the lower end
or the proposed state portage road.
That proposition will be considered
by the Board when 1t meets. The
Board will PROBABLY visit the obstruc-
tions in the river and will determine
for Itself the need of blasting on this
reef. Having viewed the river dur.
ing the Summer, the Board at its
coming meeting will have opportunity
to see the stream at the high stage of
the water and form better idea OF
the volume of water to be controlled.
The Board will make an extraordi.
nary effort to devise practical plan
that can be carried out at a cost not
exceeding Captain Harts' estimate for
his original scheme, and there is
some hope that such a plan may
eventually be found. In the light of
data that has been collected by Ma
Jor Langfitt, the Board will be able
closely to estimate the cost of the
several notifications of the Harts'
project that have been proposed and
will also be able to estimate the cost
of other schemes that have been
brought forward by other engineers.
MIR. Moody has urged that IL the
Harts plan in an amended form is
not agreed upon, the Board seriously
consider the proposition of a contin.
uous canal from the Big Eddy to Ce-
lilo, and determine whether or not
such canal can be built by making
use OF natural channels through the
rocks to the south of the river, at a
cost not greater than Harts' estimate.
This suggestion will be investigated
and, II 1t proves feasible at reason.
able cost, may be accepted, as the ad-
vantages Of a continuous canal are
recognized by many of the officers.

RAINS CHECK FARM WORK.
Winter Wheat Looks WeII-Frost Nips
Fruit In California.

Washington, April 16.-The Weather
Bureau issued the following weekly
summary of crop conditions:
In the districts east Of the Rocky
Mountains during the week ending
april 1S, the temperature has been
highly favorable for growing vegeta
tion, but farm work was very general
ly retarded by rains in the Lake re
gion, central valleys and Atlantic coast
districts, while complaints Of lack OF
moisture are received from portions
of the Central and West Gulf states
In the Central and Northern Rocky
Mountain districts and on the North
ern Pacific coast the season Is
very backward, and Washington and
Oregon have suffered from cold. wet
weather In California the conditions
have been generally favorable, with the
exception Of some damage by frosts.
The condition of winter wheat is
generally excellent, and 1t has made
splendid progress since the first Of the
month. In the Upper Ohio Valley,
however, the freeze of the 4th and 5th
caused some injury. On the whole
the conditions of the crop In the winter
wheat belt east of the Rockies is more
promising than for years. In Califor-
mia the outlook is also promising, but
in Oregon and Washington the condi-
tions Of the crop are less favorable,
especially in the last named state,
where about one-third OF the acreage
will be resown.
Spring wheat seeding is nearly COM
pleted In Iowa and Nebraska, and Is
progressing well in South Dakota;
none has yet been sown in North Da-
kota and In Northern Minnesota, but
in Southern Minnesota some has been
sown on rolling lands. BY the close Of
March, which was very mild month,
all fruits were unusually far advanced.
The reports now indicate that many
varieties of fruit have suffered severe
ly for the month, particularly the
peach.
In California, while some damage
has been done by frost, the outlook
is favorable; on the North Pacific
Coast the season Is so backward that
fruit has not been exposed to injury.
