We all know what Sherman said about war. It is no kid glove affair, and it cannot be waged without hurting some body, try as they may. We fear that General Miles is developing into somewhat of d fault finder in his later years.

THE late freeze is a strong ar- gument in favor of diversified farming. No matter how well adapted any particular crop may be to certain locality, the farm CT should not bank his all upon it.. Fruit is good and sufficient when it hits, but it fails sometimes and there should be something else to fall back on.

their members was that the demands
Of 10 per cent for trainmen and 70 per
cent for freight men east of the Mis-
sissippi, and double pay for double
header freight trains, must be con-
ceded or a strike would be ordered.
The conductors and engineers noti-

SOLE SURVIVOR TELLS
STORY OF WRECKED SHIP
The British Cambrian Prince,
Helpless in Gale, Cap
sized and Sank

Hamburg. March 3.-The carpenter
Of the British ship Cambrian Prince,
Captain Owens. from Coquimbo, for
Middlesborough, has been picked up in
the North Sea. He reports that the
Cambrian Prince capsized and sank.
He gives the following account Of
his experiences: "The Cambrian Prince
was driven helplessly along the coast
for six days by the gale and we were
unable to make Middlesborough On
the morning of February q the storm
increased TO a hurricane. A tremen-
dous wave heeled the ship over to such
an extent that the cargo shifted, and
the succeeding waves completely cap
sized her. She sank within a few min
utes. / and four others managed to es-
cape In a small iron life boat. We had
life belts, and though we were repeat
edly washed out of the boat by the
heavy seas. we succeeded with the
greatest difficulty in clambering back
again. One after another my comrades
lost strength and were lost overheard.
One previously went mad. When the
storm had subsided was the sole sur
vivor."
The carpenter had been drifting
about in the lifeboat for 26 hours, a
period of agonizing suspense, before he
was picked up. He supposes that the
remainder Of the crew Of the Cambrian
Prince were all drowned.
