VICTORIA, Wash, Jan. 27.-That
Captain Cousins Of the steamer Queen
sent out from Victoria Tuesday to
rescue the Inflated Valencia did not
make all proper efforts to reach the
doomed ship is the charge made today
by R. c. Jorgensen and D. J. Sullivan
botn chief boatswains' mates in the
United States navy, who declare that
they and three other bluejackets vol
unteered to take a boat to the wreck,
but no attention was paid to them.
Captain Cousins Indignantly denies the
charge and states there is no truth in
the statements of Jorgenson and Sulli-
van, but admits that he would not have
permitted the jackies to make an at
tempt to put off boat even if they
had volunteered to do so.
The Queen arrived here this morn
ing from Victoria. Among the pas
snegers were 65 American bluejackets
in charge of Jorgensen and Sullivan
from Seattle Ell TOule " Nndl Aoiaiiu'
Ten of the jackies and two or three
passengers remained on board the
Queen Tuesday night when she was
ordered to go in search Of the wrecked
Valencia. Jorgensen, who has been
in the navy 16 years and says he was
Dewey's chief quartermaster on the
Olympia in the battle of Manila, has
said that positively no attempt was
made by Captain Cousins to put off
boat. He said:
I'VE found the wreck Wednesday
morning and ran within about four
miles of it. Nothing but the smoke
stack, masts and part of the upper
works were visible. The weather was
rough and soually and I admit a heavy
sea was running, but l have seen boats

service in the navy Those who locke !
through glasses said they could max
out people in the rigging. did not see
them. There are supposed to be life
boats aboard the Queen with air-tlght
compartments, which are practically

ing on the deck near Captain Cousins,
when | said 1 would launch boat and
get nearer the wreck and perhaps
could get a line aboard. Sullivan,
Br2NS oBrien and Barrett Of Our iseli
volunteered to go. The captain PAID
no attention to me. I admit the
chances were against us, but we were
willing and wanted to make the at
tempt. 1t was heartrending to stand
by and make no attempt to do any
thing when so many lives were I'M
periled l considered our lives to De
no more valuable than those on the
doomed ship. We stood by until short
ly before noon, when the Topeka came
up with orders for us to return &c
Seattle. I'm satisfied that We coulc
have got a boat safely launched from
the steamer and the fact that the
shipwrecked people put off clumsy
life raft in a sea far rougher con
vinces me that boats could have peer
launched.
Chief Boatswain Sullivan expressed
his opinion even more forcibly. HI
said:
Even the British tug Gear, drawing
only six feet Of water, made no at
tempt to get very close in. Captain
Cousins tried to hold the Car On tn

January 25.
We wish to express our utmost con-
fidence in the character and ability
and judgment of Professor Bauer as
teacher and principal, such confidence
being based on several years close OBJ
servation of mis- work as principal in
said district, while our children have
been attending said school. His only
fault seems to be in being too reluctant
to resort to disciplinary measures.
Believing that a great injustice has
been done Professor Bauer by the ac-
counts at so great variance with the
facts in the case, we take this means of
showing our appreciation of his SER
vices and our confidence in his
efficiencV

Big Floods Along Milk River.

The prolonged spell of wet weather,
eliminating in exceptionally heavy
rains the past two days, is being fol.
lowed by food conditions at various

of that town are flooded and on the

Getting Ready for the Fourth.

At a meeting held Saturday evening.
the various committees appointed to
make arrangements for the Fourth Of
July celebration reported excellent
progress, aud submitted estimates of
the amount Of money they would need.
The soliciting committee also reported
additional collections that increased
the available funds to an amount sui.
icient to meet all demands. The stu.
alton was a cause for qualification to
all concerned, and 10 an assurance to
visitors that the celebration will be
fully up to the standard advertised in
advance notices of the event.
The tull program will be announced
in a few days, and will consist of at.
fractions that will please old patriots,
young patriots, and those of middle
age. The aim of the varions COM
mittees will be to give the biggest and
best celebration aver held in northern
Montana, and that they will succeed
in this endeavor is q foregone con-
clusion. 1t will be q hummer.

west, while on the other is the party
that believes values are now as high
as manufacturers will stand, and cor.
s~equently argue that growers must
modify their views, in order that the
market may not be forced a the
danger point.
Although the firms that are buying
the new clip are paying ruling prices
practically under protest, their ac-
tivity is the one thing that prevents
the sheepnlen from accepting lower
figures. Unless q radical change
takes place in the situation, the mar.
gin Of profit this season will, in mos,
instances, be very small.

TNF MONTANA WOOL CLIP
This State Heads the List In the sheep
Raising Industry.

1t Is believed that the Montana WOOL
clip of 1906 will fall considerably be.
low the amount produced last year,
the number of sheep shipped out OF
the state last fall having reduced the
tlocks in many localities. From the
three northern Montana counties
alone, the shipments of sheep and
lambs last fall aggregated fully q
million head, and there were no i'm.
portations to Offset this loss.
Although nearly every woolbuyer
and sheepman in Montana predicted
last year that the wool clip of the state
would fall below that of the previous
year in pounds, still such was not the
case. The clip las, year exceeded that
of 1904 several thousand pounds, even
though the number of sheep in the
state was less than the year before,
and Montana remains the greatest
wool. producing state in the union.
The amount of wool produced in
Montana in the year 1905 was 81, 496,.
600 pounds, against 81, 043. 600 pounds
ia the previous year. The average
weight of heeces in the state in 1905
was 6.S pounds, against 6.3 pounds IN
1904, and the number Of sheep showed
a decrease of $4,000.
These figures we're compiled from
returns made to the American Woo
& Cotton Reporter by sheep commits

companies. The number of sheer

The total product of 1905 in the
United States was 300, 309. S53 pounds,
and the average weight per fleece was
$50 pounds, against $50 in 1904.
The average price Of all wool sold
