WONDERFULLY EFFICIENT.

The present crisis in the far east offers further
evidence of the wonderful efficiency of the world
greatest news-gathering institution the Associated
Press Doubtless the scope of the work of this NAM
moth newsgatherer is due largely to the enterprise
of present-day newspapers but, be that as it may,
the organization has promptly responded to the de-
nands made upon it. Ten years ago newspapermen
would have scotfed at the idea that ws-gathering
could have been perfected SO thoroughly.
The days Of the old United Press are still remem-
bered by the public. For time this association
promised to become formidable rival of the As
sociated Press but the competition proved too keen
for it, and eventually it disappeared. Since that
time the Associated Press has had practically clear
field. Monopoly usually results in poor service, but
In the case of the Associated Press it has had the
effect of increasing its news-gathering efficiency
til now the system is absolutely perfect.
There are still few minor news concerns in
America, but they necessarily render poor and un-
reliable service The people of Astoria have fire.
auently, during the past few months, been assured
by an evening journal that Port Arthur has fallen
perhaps dozen times. Such reports emanate from
the minor Institutions which occasionally take
long chance and predict events that may reason
ably be expected to occur.
The Associated Press is not required to take any
chances. In every country, in every state, in every
city town and village, this great newsgatherer has
m accredited correspondent What happens in the
way of news is accurately covered" The Asso-
eated Press is never "down to a guess" and con-
sequenty always correct The fall of Port Arthur
could not possibly occur without the fact being re-
ported Immediately by the Associated Press for it
has long since made provision for the complete trans
mission of all war news. As consequence, the peo
pie of Astoria, living many thousands of miles from
the seat Of war; are enabled every morning to read
OF the progress of events many of them occurring on
the day of publication 1t not infrequenty happens
indeed that The Astoran prints dispatches from the
far east dated some hours later than the hour at
which the paper is sent to press,
Only the most perfect system could enable such
complete service. In every essential the Associated
Press is alive to the interests of it's members and
the public is thereby kept fully informed of the
happenings Of the world. In view Of these consd-
erations, it is not surprising to note that 45 daily
newspapers have become members of the Associated
Press since January l. Every day the Associated
Press brings the world together, telling the people
of one nation the complete story Of the happenings
Of every other nation accurately fully and without
prejudice To the Associated Press and its capable
northwest correspondent Mr. S. B. Vincent of Port
land the people of Astoria are indebted for the truth
full record which is daily placed before them through
their leading newspaper

TACOMA MOURNS FOR
VICTIMS OF CLALLAM

No casualty in recent years has caused
such universal mourning in this city as
the wreck of the steamship Clallam, when
five Tacoma people lost their lives. All OF
the victims were well known here and
have friends by the score. All save one,
Miss Ethel Diprose, had families here and
were intending to return.
Probably the best known of the victims
was Captain Charles w. Thompson, head
OF Il number OF mining companies and one
of the best known mining men in the
state. He had resided in Tacoma u years
and had been actively identified with the
business interests the city. He was
abut 80 years of age and leaves an In
valid wife and five small children.
AT Captain Thompson's office today his
business associates said that up to a late
hour the body had not been recovered. A
careful watch is being kept for it and as
soon as it is found arrangements will be
made for the funeral in Tacoma.
Professor w. b. Gibbons was best
known as the organist of the First Con
gregational church, and his recitals drew
people from all over the city. Although
having lived in Tacoma but two years, he
had become one of the most popular mu.
sicians in the city and his reputation as an
organist had spread over the state
About month ago he was elected or.
ganist of one of the Episcopal church OF
Victoria and has been offered the position
of musical director in college there. He
assumed his duties in Victoria the first
of the year, but had intended making
weekly visits to Tacoma to continue his
work as director of the Ladies Musical
club here So great was the esteem in
which he was held by his musical asso-
ciates that they had planned testimonial
concert for him to be given February 3.
At the Congregational church yesterday
the organist from which Professor Gibbons
had so long drawn music that attracted
people from far and near was draped in
mourning
The body arrived on the Flyer at 1880
p m. today, in charge of Robert Barclay.
The funeral will take place Wednesday at
2 p. M from Trinity church
A widow and three children survive him.
Bruno Lehman, customs inspector on the
Clallam. lived at 204 North Tacoma ave
nue. and leaves a wife and brother. He
was one of the last to leave the vessel
and worked heroically to help save the
lives of those on board. He had been in
the customs service about five years ana
was known all over the Sound for his
bravery and daring. At the time the King
ston was sunk by the Glenogle in Ia
coma harbor Mr. Lehman was on the
Kingston and at that time distinguished
himself for bravery. The body will be
brought here for burial
The fourth victim was Miss Ethel Dip
rose a purse in the Fannie Paddock hos
pital. She was on her way to Victoria

Speaking today OF the situation in re-
gard to county road work and the new
law governing the same, Commissioner
Handle said:
There was Approximately 100000 levied
for road work last year, and that the road
supervisors Of the several districts got, as
a rule, a good percentage OF 1T as their
pay is not denied, but the new law VIII
not help matters any in that respect. Inc
commissioners of this county, however,
fought against the law that was passed by
the last legislature reducing the number ot
county road districts from titty-nlne TO
four. but the legislature could not take our
view of the situation, hence we have the
law The work of repairing roads all over
the county is done almost at the same time
every spring, and the districts are 50 hrge
that a supervisor can not possibly cover
the territory he is called upon TO go over
in a day in order to keep the men at Work'
For example one district takes IN Stella,
COON the smelter. Gig Harbor, Fox island
and Balch's cove District No. com

CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR
WRECK OF CLALLAM

The Clallam disaster is the main topic
of conversation among local steamboat men
today Many of them, with the vague facts
at hand, are unable to account for it.
The headlight question is laughed at,
all agreeing that there was more serious
trouble than a broken headlight.
Mr. Heath, the builder of the Clallam,
says from the reports received he is un-
able to account for the ship filed with
water She was well provided with pumps
and the rudder was in perfect condition
The rudder on the dock in Seattle, he said,
is an old one taken off about three weeks
ago. when the Clalam was on the dry
dock, and with her new rudder the vessel
handled well. The headlights were three
feet aboyei the water and were about six
inches ihs diameter. the glass being five
eighths of ian inch thick. A

NEW YORK. Jan ll.-According to
word received here, Ben Jordan, the Eng

England for America today, prepared to

Sporting men are somewhat skeptical re-
garding Jordan's visit, as he contemplated
coming here before. but at the last mo

plausible reason. Jordan's representative

WANT CONFERENCE
