STEAMER MANCHUR|A
LIKELY TOTAL Loss
Passengers Have Been Landed
From Pacific Liner That
Struck Reef.

HONOLULU. Aug. 2O.-It is the general
Impression this evening that the Pacific
MAIL liner Manchuria, which ran on a
reef OIL Rabbit Island before daylight this
morning, Is hopeessy aground and NAV
be loss.
While 1t was at first thought that the
steamer could be hoated without much
olflculty, all efforts have so far been
IN vain and II seems 10 be the general
opinion at this time that II the ship is
saved 1t will be affected only by eIabor-
ate engineering operations, possibly re-
qulring weeks.
The vessel Is far inside the reef now
and pounding quite heavily, and standing
nigh out OF the water, forms a picturesque
spectacle Crowds are fastening from
here over the mountains to see the
ship The steamer is now seven feet
farther inland than when she struck The
tug Fearless. the revenue cutter Man
aing and the steamers Kinau and Maui
have lines aboard and are tugging al her
stern. but are not moving the ship,
though holding her from going further on
the reef
The cabin passengers have been land
ed, but 1t Will be impossible TO get them
all here tonight The steamship company
has made arrangements for accommo-
dations for them at Walmanalo and he
plantation managers have thrown open
their homes to many OF the passengers.
The landings were effected without
much trouble. except a slight panic
among the Asatcs. who made a rush
for the boats, but were soon quieted
James F. Smith, Governor General OF the
Philippines, who is on his way TO Manila
TO relieve Gov.-Gep. Ide, was among the
last TO leave the steamer. The officers
Of the ship remained on board
The Manchuria struck bow on during
o heavy rainstorm about 30 o'clock this
morning. She was considerably out OF
her course.
Rabbit Island is d small speck In the
sea close to the windward side OF the
island Of Oahu, on which Honolulu is
located. The coast quarter here Is un-
usually dangerous, owing TO the on-shore
seas.
The steamer lies about 300 feet from
the main shore. There are from two 10
three fathoms of water front and about
six fathoms aft The tug Fearless and
the Inter Island steamer G. Cummins have
gone TO the scene The agents of the
Pacific Mall Steamship company at Homo
lulu are on the Fearless.

THE HOME GROUNDS
Varieties of Hardy Grasses That May
Beautify the Lawn.

OF the hardy grasses the most robust
and reliable is the Erianthus Revennoe,
This magnificent variety, under gener-
Gus cultivation, forms large clumps and
throws up flower stems to height of
twelve or fifteen feet, and as they re-
main all winter in almost perfect con-
dition though faded by the frost, they
are ornamental at season when there
is dearth of beauty on our lawns. They
arc equally desirable as large clumps
and in combination with other plants,
for long, hedge-lile rows between lots
or for a screen to rear portions of the
grounds.
The Eulalia Japonica variegata ze-
brina is another beautiful grass some
what lower In growth than the erian-
thus, rarely exceeding eight or ten feet,
but so ornamental in foliage as to be
indispensable in any planting of hardy
grasses. 1t requires practically the
same treatment as the erlapthus,
In sections where the pampas grass
Is hardy it should always be included
in any extensive planting Of grasses.
Its beautiful long grass blades grow
upward and rccurving, fall quite to the
ground IN perfect fountain or sIvery
green, crowned in fall with great snowy
plumes. At the north IL must be lifted
in the fall aud wintered In warm Gel
ance it forms imposing groups and is
well worth the trouble of moving.
The Eulalia graciIlima univittata is
q dwarf growing, whitestriped grass,
much resembling pampus grass in man
ner of growth, and is valuable for put
ting IN front of taller plants,
Then there arc certain annual grasses
that may be used to border beds of the
hardy grasses, and will add much beau
ty to the planting. Among these the
Pennisetum rueppelianum and p Mac
ropyhyllum Atrosanguineum are the
best. The former has purple plumes
which droop in the most graceful man
ner, and the latter shows vivid crimson
plmes Both are easily raised from
seed sown early in spring in house or
hotbed.
A very good plan when ornamental
grasses are planted in n conspicuous
place on the lawn is to pipe water into
the bed, letting it collect in central
tub or reservoir, and run little irri-
eating channels from this to each clump
Of plants. This insures a uniform
amount of moisture and reduces to the
minimum the labor of caring for the
bed.-Indoors and Out.

For Her Welfare.

Mrs. Goodheart had made up her mind
that most Of the so-called charity OF the
present day was not, strictly speaking,
charity at all Whoever gave, she had
concluded, did so for the pleasant sensa-
tion OF seeing his or her name figure on
subscription lists, and she did not agree
with this ostentation.
Here. my good man" she said one
day last week to a man who had begged
aims of her, here is three penny piece,
and please to understand that I do not
give this because l hope 10 be rewarded
for my charity some day, but because II
gives me pleasure to do So
The burly beggar looked dublously at
the tiny silver coin.
Look ere mum. he said. "In this
ere wicked world we don't often get tho
chance to enjoy ourselves. Why not
make 1t shlllln' an ave real good
time?'-Tlt-Blts.

MORMONISNi IN CONGRESS.

The attack of Senator Fred Dubois
of Idaho, upon President Roosevelt
for indorsing Mormonism in the re-
cent Idaho elections by sending Taft
there to assist in the election of Gov
ernor Gooding, whom the Mormons
were supporting, was to be expected.
Under the pretense that 1t was
necessary to elect Gooding to uphold
law and order in Idaho, the president
went entirely out of his province as
chief executive of the nation. He
acted purely as a partisan in this
matter. Thousands of democrats in
Idaho voted for Roosevelt Thous-
ands more would have voted for him
again had he not made this unfortu-
nate mistake.
Senator Dubois is right in his at
tack. The president will simply have
to take the medicine. Had he kept
his hands off Idaho the result of the
election would probably have been
the same and the president would
have been spared this disagreeable
grilIing which he richly deserves al
the hands of Idaho.

ABOUT RIVERS AND HARBoRs.

Facts were brought out at the
National Rivers and Harbors congress
that ought to make Americans think,
says the Salem Journal.
The South American republics and
cities are spending more millions OF
money annually on rivers and harbors
than we are.
One of the delegates took a steamer
load of merchandise from st. Louis
to Kansas City to show that the river
was navigable.
Senator Berry, of Arkansas, said
that President Arthur had vetoed q
$50, 100000 river and harbor bill.
He was not renominated for presi,
dent. Berry said a hill carrying
500. 900 would not be vetoed
now.
People will sustain river and har-
Dor appropriations because the news
papers no longer call them a steal

RIGHT KIND OF A MAN.

A young woman of marriageable
age on being asked what kind of a
young man she liked best, said: II

mother so fondly that for her sake he
is chivalrous to all women. I love a
young man who will step out of his
way to avoid crushing a worm, and
will not deem 1t beneath his dignity
to succor a stray kitten. love a man
who believes there is a nobler life
than being a good dancer or sue
cessful society man.
81 love a man who is not ashamed
of tears for others sorrow, for ten

REFORM THE LAND LAWS!

Realizing the wide open pathways
10 fraud. which the present land laws
of the United States afford, Secretary
Hitchcock. of the interior DEPART
ment, in his recent report to con-
gress, heartily recommends the modi-
fication or repeal of those laws as a
safeguard for the remainder of the
public domain.
The particular laws to which he
takes exceptions are the timber and
stone act, the desert land act and the
Communication clause of the homestead
law. These he declares, are ready
vehicles of fraud. Through these the
greater portion of the gigantic frauds
of the west have been perpctrated.
Through these laws disgrace, stig-
ma, humiliation nave heen heaped
upon Oregon and other young and
progressive states. and for the safety
of the public domain and for the
protection of the citizenship of the
nation, which is often subservient to
the corruption of mercenary leaders
this glaring temptation should be en-
tirely removed.
The Oregon delegation in congress:
should lead the movement to repea
or modify these laws.

CHANGES IN THE CABINET.

If the changes now proposed are
effected in President Roosevelt's cab
met, that body will be composed of
the following members after March
4: Elihu Root, secretary of state;
William II. Taft, secretary of war;
Victor H. Metcalf, secretary of the
navy: James r. Garfield, secretary of
the interior; George 2. Cortelyou,

feet March 4, 1907.
The advancement of George B. Cor
telyou through the various depart
ments. since his introduction into
public life as private secretary to
President Mckinley, is one of the re-
markable records of the present de-
cade.

Left to the tender mercies of rail-

TO ALASKA BY RAIL.

The people of the United States do
not fully realize the extent of the in
dustrial development of Alaska ter
ritory. Only half dozen years ago
it was 4 fearful undertaking to start
into the interior of that far country.
Months OF toll, privation, peril, suf-
fering and hardship were in store for
the daring adventurer who looked
with longing eyes upon the golden
prospects of the land of the midnight
sun.
New, through the magic of Ameri-
can industry, it Is possible to ride in
a railway coach to the very heart of
that territory. Five years have trans
formed the perilous trails of the
northern mountains into substantial
lines of railroad. By the time the
Alaskan exposition is opened in Seat
tie in 1909, it will perhaps be possible
to take a coach in Penileton and GO
without change to Dawson.
Soon the products of the arid land
of Umatilla county will be unloaded
from freight cars on the platforms al
Circle City, Dawson, Nome and all
the interior points in that vast do
main. The development in the north
is being pushed even more rapidly
than in the northwest states.

COST OF COUNTY ROADS.

The Fast OTegonian is in receipt of
a strong resolution passed this week
by Tumalum Grange No. 343, of the
Hudson Ray district, censuring the
Umatilla county court for expensive
county road building and for going
into debt for roads instead of paying
as we go.
The grange resolution cites the fact
that Tillamook. Clackamas and Multi
nomah counties have made extensive
Improvements but have paid as the
Improvement proceeded and the tax
pavers were thus relieved of the in
terest on bonds.
The grange favors and demands
good roads. but insists that the court

road taxes for the purpose Of paying
for road improvements. 1t objects

Spring went by with laughter
Down the greening hills,
Singing lyric snatches,
Crowned with daffodils;
Now, by breath of roses
As the soft day closes,
Know that April's promises
Tune fulfills.
Youth goes by with gladness
Fairy woodlands through,
Led by starry visions,
Fed with honey-dew;
Life, who dost forever
Urge the high endeavor,
Grant that all the dreaming
Time brings true!
