LIGHT ON A TRAGEDY
SAILORS MAY HAVE STARVED IN
NATURAL PRISON.
Boat and Raft of Lost Steamer vaien.
ca and Eight Skeletons Found
in Cave on Pacific Coast
Rock Barred Egress.

Victoria, b. CA dispatch from
Carmanah respecting the finding of a
lifeboat and pontoon from the
steamer Valencia in caves with eight
skeletons has been supplemented by a
later message from the lighthouse
keeper at Carmanah, which throws
further light on the find. He does not
who has made the find, but his descrip.
ton of the situation indicates thai
there Is possibility that the skele'
tons are those of band less fortunate
even than those who remained on the
Valencia and went down to certain
death. His information gives rise to
the possibility that the eight persons
represented by the skeletons now dis
covered were caught in a trap, sur
rounded by high stone walls. and
there starved to death.
The cave in which the boat and the
skeletons were found is described as
barred at the entrance by a large rock.
The passage on either side of this
rock is far too narrow to permit of
the boat being taken out that way.
Apparently the boat got in by being
washed over the top Of the obstruct-
ing rock on the crest of great
wave. Once behind the rock access
to the open sea was cut off, even when
the water subsidized, as it was impos-
sible to get the boat past the barrier.
The prisoners were also walled in
from freedom On the land side and
must there have persisted for lack Of
food.
The boat is not damaged except for
a small hole in the forward air cham
Der near the gunwale. To take it out
of its place will require a strong force
of men. The light keeper says: Il am
too short-hGnded here to do any.

The cave is apparently gathering
place of debris, as the lighthouse keep
or says that in order to make an at
tempt at identifying the skeletons it
would be necessary to remove several
tons of rubbish which had since ac-
cumulated, and with that accom-
plished something might be found
within the cave which would give a
clue as to the identity of the unfor-
tunate refugees who persisted in the
prison.
The Indians, it is reported, knew OF
the presence of the boat and bodies
for several months, but kept it secret.
In the absence of knowledge Of tho
source of the information it is pre-
sumed that it came from the Indians
Capt. Gaudin's personal opinion is
that tho story will prove false one.
He inclines to the belief that 1t has
originated with the Indians, but will
have the matter fully investigated.
Capt. Gaudin points out that it is UNI
reasonable to suppose that boat
would be dashed over rock such as

ga RUNAWAY MATCH"

When Webster Cullison's merry mod
ern musical melange, "A Runaway
Match" comes to the Peoples Theatre,
Monday, Oct. 1st, local theatre goers
will have an opportunity of witnessing
a radical departure from the time-worn
traditions of the theatrical business,
inasmuch rs in this, one of the best of
Mr.. Swans plays. he has managed to
weave three separate branches OF the
stage into one high-grade farce. Mu-
sical comedy and vaudeville are the
ingredients which go to make up one
OF the most successful productions in
decade. Rich comedy of rare vintage,
catchy music that one wants to whistle,
new and novel dances by players who
are past-masters in their respective
lines is what is promised, and for this
reason there should be more interest
attached to the coming of this attrac-
tlon than any others that have come
before. In "a Runaway Match" there
is surfeit Of fun that just boils up and
fows over. The humor is Of the unc
tiou2, contagious variety, and it is only
with difficulty that the most blaze,
stoicaJ play-goer can control an OUT
break Of laughter which would threaten
disaster to ones waistcoat. The play
is without doubt the most excrucia-
tingiy funny one on the road. From
the rise of the first curtain there is an
uproar which continues until its final
fall, and yet il cannot be said that the
farce, like many Of the kind, is of the
hoidenish noise-making and boxing.
glove kind When it makes you laugh
1t is because there is fomething funny
ana something to lsugh at, either in
the form OF some clever situation or
bright comedy 1t il not too much To
say that "a Runaway Match" easily

No town will become q good busint IS

on few merchants to make the effort
to bring trade to town. Too often the
men in few lines of trade are about
the only ones that reach out after Gus

men induce the people to come to town
and content themselves with trade
that naturally drifts to their places. A
public spirited man should ask himself

A Town Wrecked.

A special from Jellico, Tenn.
says; A terrific dynamite ex-
plosion occurred here at 8 O'Clock
Friday morning, causing the loss
of at least nine lives an injuring
fifty people. The property dam
age is estimated at not less than a
million dollars. At least 500
people are homeless.
Nine dead bodies have been
found, disfigured beyond recogni-
tion. 1t is feared that the re
mOval of debris will reveal other
fatalities and increase the list of
the dead.
Every business house in the
town is wrecked or badly damaged.
The union railway station is il
splinters. All telegraphic COM
munication is cut off, and tele-
phone service is the OILY wire
communication.
The explosion occurred OIL the
Kentucky side of Jelllco, which is
situated on Tenneesee-Kentucky

side is wrecked.

Cost of Paint

The difference between
the cost of good paint and
inferior paint is very little
in comparison with the
total outlay for painting a

The time and labor is
the big item. Seems very

deal of time and money
