THE SHIPS THAT SINK.

What becomes of the ship that
sinks in midocean? If it is Of wood
it takes, in the first place, considerable
time for it to reach the bottom. In
a hundred or more fathoms of water
a quarter of an hour will elapse be-
fore the ship reaches bottom. 1t sinks
slowly, and when the bottom is reached
it falls gently into the soft oDzy bed,
with no crash or breaking.
OF course, if it is laden with pig iron
or corresponding substances, or If 1t
is an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and
sometimes strikes the bottom with
such force as to smash in pieces. Once
sunken a ship becomes the prey OF
countless inhabitants Of the ocean.
They swarm over and through the
great boat and make it their home
Beside, this, they cover every inch OF
the boat with a thick layer Of lime
This takes time, Of course, and wher
one generation dies another continues

KENOSHA, Wis, Nov. 13.-There

Monday night, when Miss Pearl Jonn-
son of Chicago and Oscar Nero of the
same place were married by Judge r.
H. Slosson. Miss Johnson gave her

ELECTRIC LINE FOR PRossER
Strong Company Files Articles OF In
corporation and is Ready for
Work.

PROSSER, Nov. 13.-Articles OF
incorporation of the Prosser Traction
company have been filed with the
county auditor, the incorporators be-
ing Frederick Finn, ]. w. Callicotte,
G. A. Todd, George B. Boomer and F.
A. Jenne. The capital stock is $780,
900, divided into 1900 shares of 500
each.
The object of the company Is to
build and operate an electric rail-
way through the streets of Prosser
and an interurban line to the pro-
posed North Coast railway station, a
mile and a half across the river
northward; to Euclid, seven miles
northwest, and eventually to the Co
lumbia river on the east.
The county commissioners have
been asked to grant permission for
the line to cross the river on the
Sixth street bridge and also for right
of way along the county road 20 Flu
cid.
The city council has also been asked
for a franchise and right-of-way
through the streets, the third reading
of the ordinance to come up at the
meeting on the first Tuesday in De-
cember.
The incorporates are all local peo-
pie, Frederick Finn being the lead
ing spirit in the enterprise. He says
he has had correspondence on the
subject with Judge yohn Porter Of Ell
dora, Ia, who has built two small
steam roads to connect with the
Northwestern, and who is also a
practical electric railroad man. Judge
Porter says he can finance the road
if the people Of this vicinity will
take $4,000 worth of stock, which Mr..
Finn thinks can be raised.
He also says the company will file
on a water power four miles down
the Yakima river, with which to
generate it's own electricity.

bosses MAYOR TAKES A HAND
He Personally Investigates the Fuel
Famine That Grips Idaho
Towns.

BOISE, Nov. 13.-Mayor Pinney
has taken hand in the coal situa-
ton in Boise and has written to ]. M
Moore Of the freight department OF
the Union Pacific railroad and also
the Central Coal & Coke company
OF Salt Lake to learn if something
cannot be done at once to relieve the
situation.
The letters call attention to the Sc
rious conditions in Boise and state
that though merchants here stored uu
every ton available during the sum-
mer, now at the beginning of winter
they are entirely out of coal and
are unable to secure any. The letters
state that suffering will ensue with
the coming of cold weather if Boise
cannot get coal.
The Union Pacific is asked to fur
nish cars for transportation and to
advance them rapidly to this point
that private citizens as we'll as the
schools and public buildings may re-
ceive the necessar supply. The coal
company is urged to furnish mer-
chants with a considerable supply of
coal at the earliest possible date, that
schools and public buildings may not
be obliged to close up and private
citizens subjected to suffering on
account of a coal famine.
Last week only six or seven cars of
coal reached this city for all the deal
ers and some of these had been
robbed at one or more places along
the line where the coal situation is
as perplexing as it is here. From
one car 1920 pounds had been taken
and from another $500 pounds. 1t is
said part of this was taken from the
cars at Nampa.
