East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-01-02

Two new vessels, the America and
the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria (the
former to go into service in August,
1905, and the latter In 1900, are to
be provided with several elevators to
run between the five decks on which
are placed the passenger accommo-
dations.
1t has not been thought practical
heretofore to install elevators in the
transatlantic steamers, and their
need was not apparent when the
steamer numbered but two or three
decks in the part of the vessel used
in its passenger service.
The elevator made possible the
erection of the American "skyscrap-
er." When the ocean leviathans
boast from five to seven decks the
labor of going up and down stairs in
them has become irksome. The mod
ern steamship is itself a "skyscraper."
And the elevator is only one of the
many modern luxuries that have been
| added to steamships since they reach
ed the huge dimensions of the larg-
est of those of today. ~.
There is much that is astonishing
in the service of these great ships.
The mysteries of the cuisine must al
ways remain so to the ordinary tray
eler. The product in quantity and
variety from the comparatively di-
minutive kitchens of these colossal
hotels that feed 1000 persons on a
voyage-and 500 Of cabin passengers
in the luxury of the best of the mod
ern hotels-is not the least of the
wonders of these huge vessels.
The great size and enormous carry
ing capacity of the steamships that
have come in vogue within a few
years can be understood by glance
at the dimensions of the two now
building:
Steamship America-Length over
FAN, 700 feet; breadth, "A feet; depth,
SO feet; displacement, about 5000
tons: cargo capacity, $1,000 tons.
Steamship Kaiserin Augusta Vic
toria-Length over all. 7O5 feet;
breadth, II feet; depth. 53.9 feet; dis
placement, about 10000 tons; cargo
NdplNiAys IOsuVO lOllS.
Carry 5000 Passengers.
The passenger capacity of these
ships will be about 5000 each, COM
| prising 600 first-class, 800 second
class, 250 third-class, and 2139 in the
| steerage.
An important feature of these
ships is three great promenade decks
o; enormous length and ample width,
one of which will be reserved for
promenading. The others will be used
for the placing of steamer chairs.
In addition to the passenger ele-
vators, these great vessels will include
many other improvements, not inno-
| vations, but improvement and en-
| largement of facilities that have be-
come popular with transatlantic
/ travellers.
On the new hotel steamship the
grill room has grown into a large
modern a la carte restaurant. Pas
sengers dine when they please, ar
range luncheon and dinner parties for
friends whom they chance to meet
on board, and have a change from
the meats served in the regular din
| ing room.

Pierre. S. d.. Aug. 2s.-While the
practice of cattle dipping has been fol-
lowed in Stanley and other counties
vest of the river for several years. and
Ne disease of scabbies has been prac-
Scally wiped out in hat section, the
county inspector ordered general Dip
ping of all cattle in Stanley county
this year. Cattle owners generally
start d in to carry out the order. but
on account of the rains delaying tho
work early in the season, many of them
now desire to get their beef cattle on
the market with only one olpping. They
are willing to dip all cattle which re-
main on the range, but want to get
their beet { tile on the market as soon
as possible. In that line suit has been
brought against the county inspector
OF Stanley county by a number of cat
tie owners, n the matter is set for
hearing before Judge Gaffy on the 26th
of this month. The points raised are
practically the same as those raised by
the Beadle county farmers, who Sc
cured a ruling in their favor by Judge

STAGE is CALLING HER
Former Mrs. M~oIineaux Takes Her
Husband and Infant and Returns
to the Eootliohts.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Aug. 30.-The de-
parture yesterday afternoon for New
York city of Mr.. and Mrs. w. ID. Scott,
of this city, is of more than ordinary
interest, for the reason that Mrs. Scott
was formerly Mrs. Roland B. Molineux,
of New York. Divorce of the alleged
murderer who served Il prison term on
Il first conviction but was acquitted on
retrial.
The departure of herself and hus-
band for New York is in accordance
with plans formulated by Mr.. and Mrs.
Scott some time ago, but the disposal
of he law practice of Mr.. Scott and
the birth of their little son DELAYED
their change of residence until the pres
ent time.
About two years ago, when Mrs.
Scott secured her divorce ana was re-
married. 1t was reported that she had
decided to go upon the stage. In fact,
all preparations for the event had been
made. but at the last Mrs.
Scott. who had gone to New York for
the purpose stated, returned and pre-
pared for her ACCOMPLISHMENT.
Mrs. Scott Immediately Cancelled her
engagement and returned to her hus-
band in Sioux Falls, leaving behind not
only a disappointed manager, but a
disappointed public. The keen regret
caused by her withdrawal from the
agreement at the asst moment is we'll
remembered.
At hat time Mrs. Scott was offered
the splendid salary of $1,000 per week.
She fully Intended to fulfill the con-
tract. had rehearsed several times with
a full ORCHESTRA and her gowns had
been ordered and made when Mr.. SCOTS
inability to take up his residence at
that time in New York was made clear
to her and his wife u-nhesitatingly
returned to Sioux Falls.
Tempting offers have been renewed to
Mrs. Scott at various times, and in
view of the fact that her husband is
now able to become IL resident of New
York she will appear before the New
York public this season. The several
propositions are being considered by
her, but not until after her arrival in
the east will She reveal her plans.

"'The road to a mans heart hes

Pitcher, one of the two surviving sol
diers of the Blackhawk war, died at the
home of his son in his city. Had he
lived until the 18th of mex, month he
would have reached the ripe age of 1O1
years. AT the last state census he was
n of the three -centenarians of the
state. He was n OF the early captains
on the Missouri river, in the days when
1t was the great avenue of trade for the
middle west. His life was a rugged one,
filled to the brim with excitement and
work. He served his country in three
different wars, the Mexican, the Black
hawk and the civil war. Nothing but
his dvanc age prevented his going
with the rest OF the boys at the time
of the Spanish-American war. His
Tooth anniversary was celebrated the
18th of last September at St. Lotus.
He held a reception in the afternoon at
the south Dakota mining exhibit, and
In the evening was entertained by his
friends at an extensive banquet at one
of the hotels. Many kilograms poured
through the states of Indiana, Illinois
and Ohio. He was very we'll known
In Indianapolis. where for many years
ne was a conspicuous and well known
figure.
While Chicago was still a city of
frame huts he made 1t his home, and
has seen 1t grow to the greatest city in
the west. He has seen changes in all
h enu of trade, and he helped ma
terially to make these changes.
Until the last two years. or until he
reached the age of SO, his health was
remarkably good. He was strong and
vigorous and a great walker. He first
came to the Black Hills in the pioneer
days of "a. n since then has always
spent more or less time here. He was
interested In mining ventures and
traded considerably In grounds.

FOUND ON ASH PILE.
Live Baby Discovered in West Part o.
Sioux Ealls.

Live Baby Discovered in West Part o.
Sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls. s. D., Aug. 2s.-Some-
thing OF a sensation was created by the
announcement of the finding of a living
baby on an ash pile near the foot Of
the Twelfth street viaduct.
1t was entirely nude. and although
badly chilled was yet alive.
DR.. Billion was summoned and after
an examination Of the baby which
proved to be a girl, he stated that the
child might live.
The exposure was. however. too much
for the little n and 1t died during the
morning.
There is little doubt that a deliberate
attempt to murder the infant was made
before 1t was placed on the ash pile
and abandoned to its fate. Masks on
the little throat clearly indicate that
the inhuman person or persons who
abandoned 1t first choked the little girl
In an enor to m its life.
1t IL probable that the infant became
unconscious as the result Of the chok-
Ing. and that It was then taken to the
ash pile and abandoned In the belief
hat 1t was dead.
