ELEVEN DROWNED
Submarine Boat Goes to Bottom
With Her Crew.
Collision Renders Her Power
less to Reach Surface.
STRUCK BY A LINER.
Mistaken for a Torpedo by Crew
Of Merchantmen.
Those on the Diver Had Been
Battened Down.

Portsmouth, March 19.-British sub
marine boat No. Al was run down and
sunk off the Nab lightship today by a
Donald Currie liner, and eleven persons
were drowned. including Lieutenant
Mansergh, the senior officer engaged
in the submarine work. The liner
passed on and reported that she had
struck a torpedo.
At the time she was struck the sub
marine boat was off the Iightship en-
gagged in the maneuvers and was lying
in seven fathoms of water waiting the
approach of a battleship.
The boat was one of the newest of the
fleet of submarine vessels, and was
built from the latest models, but she
has always been a bad diver. She was
inspected recently by both King Ed
ward and the Prince of Wales.
The name of the Donald Currie liner
which struck the submarine boat is the
Berwick Castle from East London,
South Africa. The loss of the boat was
not known for several hours after. the
liner had reported to the maneuvering
fleet that she had struck a torpedo. The
officers of the liner say that they saw
a glistening torpedo-like shape in the
water and it is supposed therefore that
I J
was struck The officers of the fleet
did not suppose for the moment that
the submarine had been struck, and
continued operations expecting that
vessel to reappear at some other point
Finally a search was made, and the
breaking of the waves revealed the
presence of the submarine boat
There is no doubt that all the mem
bers of the crew died in the steel tube
1t is thought the Berwick Castle in
striking upset the trim of the boat and
spilled the gasoline in the tanks render
ing her helpless. The crew was batten-
ed down and must have met death from
suffocation in the absence of air and
owing to the fumes of the gasoline.
UNDER 100 FEET OF WATER.
Portsmouth, March 19.-The British
submarine boat No. I, which was rur
down by the steamer Berwick Castle
yesterday afternoon, still lies under {
hundred feet of water. All the neces-
sary appliances for raising the boat arr
on the spot, but as the boat is in baC
position the naval authorities have little
hopes of raising her. From the frs
there was no hope that any member:
of the crew would be saved.

FARMERS GET A DIVIDEND.
Butler-Hofman Elevator Line System
Doing Well.

Clifton, Kan. March 19.-The farmers
about here are naturally quite elated
over the announcement made yesterday
that the Farmers Cooperative Ship
ping association had declared a cash
dividend of 8 per cent on all stock paid
for prior to December l, 1908, and 4
per cent cash dividend on all stock
paid for since that date.
The concern has recently established
a branch at this place, and nearly one
hundred of our best farmers are among
its stockholders, although not half the
territory has been covered by solicitors
for stock in this branch. This is the
company generally known as the But
ler-Hoffman Tine system" of farmers
elevators. 1t is said to have been very
successful although not yet q year old.
Farmers at four or five towns about
here are taking steps to secure branch
es of the farmers corporation"

Albuquerque. N. NJ. March 19.-The
car department of the Santa F'e rail-
road shops here has been destroyed by
fire. The loss can not be estimated at

thrown out of employment.
It is not known here whether the car
department of the Santa Fe shops at
Albuquerque, n. M, will be rebuilt.
Local officials of the Santa Fre have
been notified of the fire. but no par
ticulars further than the simple state
ment that the shop was burned at n
o'clock last night have been received
here. 1t is supposed that the fire at
Albuquerque will cause an increase in
the work of the men at the other shops
along the lire.

The Hood River cherry crop is being
harvested, and the quality is first class.
Last week the bulk Of the shipments
were going to Butte and Denver, where
the fruit was netting the growers 75c
per l0-pound box, says Glen Fabrick Of
the Davidson Fruit Co. The Hood
River crop is estimated at $500 boxes.
Mosier raises more cherries than Hood
River, and the crop there is Of fine quail
ity this year The Davidson Fruit Co
is handling about all the cherries sent
out from either shipping point. E.
Locke of Hood River is the only indie
pendent shipper. Cherries do well at
Hood River, and so far pay well. White
Salmon farmers have found that cherries
are profitable crop in that locality, A.
Fl, Jewett says he expects to plant his
whole farm to cherries. The crop his
not missed a season since he set out his
first tree Is years ago.
G. d. Woodworth is shipping some
fine cherries through theDavidson Fruit
Co. from his Belmont ranch. He packs
the fruit in little pound trays, so that
they can be lifted out and wrapped up
by grocer as If they were a pound OF
honey. The cherries are Royal AIMS,
and are perfect pictures.

FARMERS GET
PLENTY WATER

The farmers are getting all the wat
er they applied for and there is more in
the ditch for those who want to buy il, -
said N. @. Evans, secretary Of the Far.
mers Irrigating Co s'While we were
delayed in getting the water out this
spring, there is now plenty of water for
all-everyone is getting the full amount
he contracted for and things are work
ing satisfactorily.
"fhe repairs made last spring cost
T between &3, 900 and $4,000. As the
repairs were permanent Improvements
in many instances, this would make
these expenditures in the nature of an
investment of capital stock. About
$34 900 has been paid out, leaving the
company with an Indebtedness OF $780,.
) 600. Some $4,000 worth Of stock is yet
to be sold.
"We are supplying about 1900 inches
of water, and have more to sell at 81 an
inch. The board Of directors have had
agood many complaints from the pa
irons because some Of them were allowed
to 60 in together and take water for two
or three farmers out OF the company's
laterals at one point. The farmers may
do as they please about taking the water
out of their own laterals, but it was de-
cided to put stop to such practices on
the company's laterals for the protec-
tion OF the patrons further down the
line, who would not get their share.
Because there is plenty of water
some Of the farmers think they should
get the surplus for nothing. The COM
hao hs., ,lnhk Hard and thn
only resources it has TO rely upon is the
sale of the water. Therefore it would
be foolish to give the water away.
When the ditch is paid for we can talk
about free water, bat letus pay for the
ditch first. If the farmers can use more
water than they have contracted for
there is plenty Of it for sale at 81 an
inch. The water this year, will cost
pro rata Just what the maintenance
expenses amount to. This year it will
be about SO an inch.
A great deal of the improvement
work this spring was done in getting
the old ditch down TO level. In one
place, for distance OF $500 feet, the
bottom of the canal was 23 inches above
grade. The fumes were crooked and
required lots of repair work. Last sum-
mer the old company was selling about
1900 inches of water and supplying
about 800 inches, because the eleva-
tions in the flume prevented the water
from getting through"
The board OF directors held meeting
Friday morning and settled some mat
ters regarding the distribution, of the
water through the company's laterals.

Deep Snow at Lost Lake.

Ralph Lewis and friend OF his, Ted
Povey from Portland, went in to Lost
lake last week. Mr.. Lewis reports the
snow from three to six feet deep on the
divide, and says it gets SO cold after
nightfall that no grass has started about
the lake and there is no horse feed
there. The boys were forced to get out
the same day they went in.
Mr.. Lewis says the row boat placed
on the lake last summer by Ralph Say
age has been STAYED in by the winter
snow. The gunwales are smashed in
from stem to stern, and repairs will
have to be made before the boat can be
used. This will require some lumber
and material to calk the cracked tim
bers. The boat had been leaned against
a tree, where it remained all winter,
and the snow from the tree, possibly,
was too much for the light timbers OF
the canoe.
The snow is melting rapidly, and the
waters of Hood river are high for this
time of year. Fishing is poor because
of the high water. The snow will not
likely melt from the trail for three
weeks or more.
