STEAMER STRIKEH ROCK AND
SINKS IN COLUMBIA RIVER
The George w. Elder Goes to the
Bottom, but All on Board
Are Saved ~
b. Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. .22.-The
steamship George w. Elder, which left
Portland last night for San Francisco,
struck a rock in the Columbia river
near Globe, forty miles from here,
about midnight and stove hole in
her port side a short distance forward
of amidships and she sank in about
fifteen feet of. water. The accident was
caused by the rudder becoming fouled
by snag. While in this helpless con-
dition before she could be stopped she
left the channel and piled upon a
jagged rock which lies near the bank
of the river.
The river steamer Hassalo, which left
the city for Astoria about the same
time as the Elder, went to the assist
ance of the steamer and brought her
passengers back to this city.
A force of longshoremen was sent I'M
mediately to the disabled vessel for the
purpose of unloading her, which will
consume about two days. The Elder
will be brought to this city and dry
docked, when the full extent of the
damage will be made known.

PLAN TO RECLAIM LARGE
TRACT OF SWAMP LAND
Salt Lake Road Interested in Pur-

Syndicate
Special 10 The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO. Jan. 22.-The purchase
yesterday by ex-Mayor Stephen Town
send OF Long Beach, representing a
syndicate, evidently has a move of
large proportions behind it, in which
the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt
Lake railway company is involved.
The syndicate has acquired from the
Seaside Water company about 500
acres of land lying between the Salt
Lake railroad and the old Anaheim
road and the bluff and San Gabriel
river. All this is swamp land at the
present time. The government has
channel from this slough to the sea,
which it filled in when the railroad
was built.
Evidently it is now the intention of
the railroad to build ship canal
through this channel and by dredging
out passage ways to drain the low
lands and make of them a site for car
shops, factories and lumber yards
This new section of the big Industrial
center building up around the harbor
of San Pedro will be about midway
between Long Beach and San Pedro,
and will be of great benefit to both
places.
Members of the syndicate say that
no plans have yet been made, but that
the land was purchased because of it's
favorable location for manufacturing
purposes and the other industries that
will soon be seeking locations near
San Pedro harbor. Interested in the
syndicate are several lumber men,
with vast interests in the north, who
aim to ship logs to San Pedro and to
establish plant on this land where
they will be worked up into lumber.
The Southern Pacific, as we'll as the
San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
railway, runs through this tract.

GREAT CAVE DISCOVERED IN
BRITISH COLUMBIAN WILDS
Is Over Two Miles in Length and in
Some Places Is 1000
Feet Deep
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
REVELSTOKE, B. c., Jan. o.
What is thought to be one of. the
largest caves in the world has been
discovered near this place, adding
another wonder to the wilds of the
Canadian Northwest. The cave is sit
uated within two miles of the Cana
dian Pacific railroad in a country
which was supposed to be we'll known
by those living in the vicinity. 1t has
four entrances and, it's length is over
two miles. having a depth in some
places of 1000 feet. 1t is studded with
millions of brilliant crystals, which
are claimed to be iron pyrites.
The formation is of blue limest one
rock and the cave has probably been
formed through action of water. Far
away down in it's depths the roaring
of an underground stream can be
heard, but so far nobody has discov-
cred it's source or it's outlet.
In places there are indications that
the cave has been inhabited by In
dians, judging by a few old stone
weapons and bones lying about. A
party is now being formed to explore
the cave.

REDLANDS, Jan. 22.-The funeral
services of Fred Danielson, who COM
mitted suicide on last Thursday morn
ing, were held this afternoon at the
Rohrer-C Courtener undertaking parlors.
The services were private, the Rev. Mr..

pany G attended in body, forming an
escort to the cemetery and performing
the last services at the grave.
Mrs. Hatty Taylor, the young woman
for whom he took his life and who has
been prostrated with grief was un-
able to attend. Mrs. Taylor stated yes
terday that her lover wanted her to
take some of the drug and go with him.
Juan Baladez, a child of four years,
was horribly burned this morning when
his father, who was frying something
in lard, accidentally let the pan slip,
and the scalding grease covered the
legs and feet of the small boy, who
was sitting near the stove. 1t is not
thought that the injury will be perma-

President TuttIe,s Mistake.

President Tuttle Of the Boston and
Maine railroad opposes railway rate
regulation on the ground that it is "an
attempt to violate the principles of in
dividual liberty" Like many another.
President futile fails to make distinc.

goes even further in the way of making
mistakes by entertaining the idea that
a railroad corporation is an individual
The railway corporation exists only
through law, and President futile
makes the very common mistake-com'

that a creature Of law is not amenablt

comes to a matter of law, logic and lib

DOMINICAN AFFAIRS
Keeping MI. Morales In Office Not thu
Province Of Uncle Sam

Mr. MOrEles In Office Not tha
Province of Uncle SAM.
Their can be no objection, as we
see 1T, to tho proposed arrangement by
which the status quo in Santo Domingo
so far as 1T relates to customs is to be
preserved until such time as the senate
takes final action upon the pending
treaty. Americans, appointed by the
m government and represent
Ing that government solely, are to col
lect the customs, and the only part this
government is to play is that Of nom
mating to President Morales suitable
men for the job. No action Of the pres
ident can bind this government to re-
sponsibility for the funds so segregat-
ed, but everything legitimate will be
done to insure the selection Of honest
collectors.
1t will be an entirely different mat
ter, however, if the president permits
this tentative arrangement to act as
warrant for interference on the part
Of the United States in the purely in
ternal affairs of the Dominican repub-
lie. h anxiety Of President Morales
to have such interference can hardly
be doubted. Coincident with the pro-
mitigation of President Roosevelt's pro-
gramme comes the interesting news
that revolutionists have become ex-
tremely active in Monte Christi and
other northern provinces. Some of the
energetic politicians who were eXiled
by Morales have returned to their coun-
try with the avowed purpose Of wrest-
Ing power from the present president
according to approved Dominican meth
DDS, and the possibility Of a merry
time is in sight.
If these gentlemen and their cohorts
are able to GUST Morales from his job,
even if they should in the operation
get his kinky head, it is lone Of our
business. They are playing politics
just as it was played against them a
short while ago when Morales got on
top. What is sauce for the goose should
be sauce for the gander.
Should q revolution occur the admin

low the noxious treaty as sent to it, is

III Of the county, when I passed a
man busily engaged in saving wood.
He greeted me most politely with

Il returned the mans salutation and
continued on my way. There had
seemed something in his face that was
familiar, 50 | asked the sheriff who
he was. That Official hesitated a mo
ment before replying. Then he said:
That's the fellow you sentenced to
three months for larceny the other
day
Seeing how astonished I was that
man sentenced to three months i'm
prisonment should in three or four
days still be at liberty. the sheriff
fastened to explain:
Yes. ledge. that's the same man.

Necessary Use Of consonants.

zone curious result Of the cold should
be mentioned here-namely, its effect
upon the speech of the people. A pc
culiarity of the language of the Tib-
etans, in common with the Russians
and most arctic nations. is the remark
ably few novels in their words and the
extraordinarily large number of con-
sonants. For example. the Tibetan
name for Sikhim is Hbrasljongs. In
deed. so full of oonsonants are Tibe-
tan words that most of them could be
articulated with almost semiclosed
mouth. evidently from the enforced
necessity to keep the lips closed as
far as possible against the cutting cold
