nee Of the party for the Senate. Mr..
Slemp received the complimentary
vote Of the five Republicans in the
Senate and the twelve in the House
Senator Wickham nominated Sena-
ter Martin in the Senate and ascend |

Complaints are made by many thsr
the rural mail delivery service costs
the government some $40, 1000 annually
more than it brings in. Whatever the
cost may be the expenditure is for the
greatest convenience the government
has ever given TO the rural citizen.
On June 30, 1905, rural delivery ser
vice was in operation on 32,l2l rural
routes, from 10, 500 distributing offices.
From the reports Of rural carriers
which have been compiled in the Di-
vision Of Rural Delivery it is shown
that more than 1,OOO,0OO,OOO pieces Of

1905, or, to be more exact, 1887, 057,-
I'll.
The total amount paid the IS, 055 car
riers in the service June 30, 1905, dur
ing that year was $50, 293, 5000.
The average monthly salary Of rural
carriers In the service June 80, 1905,
throughout the United States is $500,
and, deducting from this the average
value Of stamps cancelled on mail ORR
gilating on rural routes, SlO.S4, the
approximate average cost per carrier
on account Of salary is S4S.25.
In Virginia there were on June 30,
73l routes IN operation, the average
salary paid each carrier being 1916,
and each carrier averaged 2,015 pieces |

PASSED BY THE HOUSE
JOINT STATEHOOD BILL GOES
THROUGH BY A MAJORITY
OF FORTY-FOUR.

Washington, Jan 26-The house
passed the statehood bill according to
schedule. The Republican opposition
to the measure spent it's entire force
Wednesday and no effort was made to
defeat the bill on it's final passage, but
SO Of the insurgents" voted against
the measure. The bill passed by the
vote OF 1914 to $50.
The debate which preceded this vote
began at IL o'clock and was practical
ly featureless so far as any hope was
entertained of changing the measure
il the slightest degree. The advo-
Gates of the measure placed in the
record through the medium of several
speeches, the arguments upon which
the joint statehood policy is founded.
Likewise the opponents of joining Ari-
IONA and New Mexico, which en-
braced the entire opposition to the
bill, produced their reasons for the rec
ord. Several Of the insurgents"
made plain the ground of their oppo-
sition.
The bill as passed provides that
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
shall constitute one state under the
name "Oklahoma," and that Arizona
and New Mexico shall constitute one
state under the name "Arizona."
Should the terms of admission be rati-
fed by the residents of the territories
in question, their respective state con-
titutions must contain clauses pro.
hibiting the sale of Intoxicating liquors
and plural marriag es.

AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE
ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN

Vessel Goes on the Rocks of the
Coast of Vancouver Island, Many
People Losing Their Lives in FL
tile Effort to Reach Shore, the 9th
ers Remaining on Board and Either
Died of Exposure or. Went Down
With the Ship.
Victoria, B. c., Jan. 25-Of the 154
people on board the steamer Valencia
when she struck near Klanaway rock,
five miles from Cape Beale, at 11:45
o'clock on Monday night and met dis
aster, but thirty-fve were saved, all
being male passengers or members
Of the crew. The dead number
119, the greatest loss of life in the
North Pacific since the Pacific was
lost in 1875. Fifty persons, mostly
women and children, persisted in at.
tempting to reach shore in small boats,
the latter being smashed against the
steamers side soon after they were
lowered from the vessel and the occu-
pants drowned. The other survivors,
numbering about 100, remained on
board and persisted Of exposure, were
washed overheard by the heavy sea or
went down with the vessel when she
finally went to pieces. The only per-
sons saved were six members of the
crew who were sent ashore for assist
ance, nine other passengers and
sailors who succeeded in reaching
land in small boat and twenty men
On raft who we're picked up at sea
by relief vessel. Steamers sent
to the rescue OF the unfortunate YES
sci were unable to give any assist
ance owing to the heavy sea running
at the time, making it impossible to
get near the ship or send boats to
take off the survivors.
When the Valencia left San Fran
cisco at II a. m. Saturday the weather
was clear, but the rest of the trip had
consequently to navigate by reckon
ing. The Officers Of the steamer
thought they were near Umatilla reef
lightship when the vessel drove in
on the Vancouver island coast. Sound
lngs had been taken, thirty fathoms
having been secured a few minutes
before the vessel struck. When she
hit the rocks her engines were re-
versed and the steamer succeeded in
backing off into deep water. She i'm
mediately began to sink and her COM
mander ran her ashore as far as pos
sible in the hope Of assistance being
secured before the ship was pounded
