our LETTER COX


CLEARWATER, Neb., Jan. $40 the
Editor of The Bee: The appeal to Ship
pers" by J. F. Farris, in The Sunday Bee,
concerning the new charge regulation OF
the Omaha commission men, comes very
timely. AS far as our own business is
concerned the new regulation will make
little difference. since most Of our ship
ments are cattle and we ship only few
cars of hogs year. But the arbitrary
nature OF the new charges demands a pro-
test from every shipper whether he is hit
hard individually or not The reason given
by the commission men for the raise, that
the cost of living has increased. is calcu-
lated to raise the average feeders ire. In
their selfishness the men who voted for tho
raise took no account Of the Increased
cost Of feeding all kinds OF stock. and
the very small profts the average feeder
has made the last two or three years. We
understand that the new charges were
adopted by q majority vote Of the commits
sion men and that the members of some
firms earnestly protested against the raise
and voted against It, but were out-voted
and are now compelled as members Of the
exchange TO get in line.
In our opinion shippers have two differ
ent methods Of bringing the commission
trust to time. One is. TO ascertain what
firms fought the raise and consign their
stock % those firms. The other is.
wherever enough stock can be got together
to make up a train to send 1t through to
Chicago. as we understand that II il only
Missouri river points that have made the
raise. Chicago commission men being still
satisfied with q reasonable rake-off. This
is the second time the Missouri river COM
mission men have shown their greed. Two
years ago they pooled together to cut of
all concessions e. shippers. did away with
meal tickets and subscriptions TO stock
papers: but Chicago held out and the other
markets had to. give up the fight against
the shipper. So, in our opinion. II Chicago
will only stand by US there Is no need for
any action among shippers further than as
above stated. and II will be but q short

The Tariff on Art.

We happened to receive no great in
heritance in artistic beauty from the
genius Of the past, and our statesmen
of more demagcgic period ipcreasel
this disadvantage by penalizing and
discouraging the import of what oul
citizens were able and willing to buy
for us abroad.
The tax on paintings is felt mainly
by our public galleries, where priv
ate collections nearly always ulti
mately find their places. In 1884
when art was taxed, the works I'M
ported were valued at S1,51S,6SS.63
The next year, when they were al

In 1898. under the tariff Of 20 pei

SCENES WERE. HEARTBREAKING
Thrilling Stories of the Sea Tragedy
On The Rocks Near Cape Beale On
Monday.

Victoria, B. c., Specialize fatal
wreck of the steamer Valencia, which
occurred on the rocks Of Cape Beale
last week was one of the most tragic
ror of a few years ago.
A vague hope was entertained that
some of the passengers and crew who
were not taken off may still be alive,
but it is feared that the death list
will reach Ito. Twenty-Five sur
vivors have been accounted for.
A special dispatch received from
Pachena telegraph hut reports the
steamer Salvor and whaler Orion and
another steamer, believed to be the
City of Topeka, off the mouth Of
Darling river. A small boat from the
Salvor tried to get through the surf
to make landingg and sucor the sur
vivors there, but failed. The boat
returned to the steamer. Tile surf
will not be navigable for several days.
Tie survivors at Darling river are
from boats No. 2 and No. 5 Of the
Valencia. They report that Is men
started from the steamer in boat No.
2. 1t capsized, and seven. of its oc-
cupants were washed ashore. The
other eight perished. All wore life
preservers. Boat No. 5 left the wreck
with six or seven on board. 1t was
also eapsized, and only two, Rich

man and the latter a passenger bound
to Seattle made the land. The wife
and two children Of F. F. Bunker
went down before his eyes.
Bluejackets to the Rescue.
The tug Lorne, sent out by the
Puget Sound Tugboat Company,
reached the vicinity Of the wreck soon
after daylight, having on board a
party of British bluejackets from
Esquimalt, who went in surfboats to
see if any possible survivors could
be rescued. and recover what they
could reach.
In an interview at Bamfeld Greek
Boatswain Mccarthy told a story Of
the Valencia wreck. He said the
steamer had been going by dead reek-
oning and overran her distance.

Captain Johnson was OH the bridge

orders to have two of the seven boats

Life Raft Crushed.
One very sad incident was wit
messed. A lady and gentleman with
a little girl tried to get into boat.
The father succeeded and the mother
tried to pass the child, but wave
struck her and washed the child from
her arms. The child was lost before
her eyes. One lift raft was also
lowered, but it was dashed to pieces.
After this four boats succeeded in
getting away from the ship, all full
of passengers. This left one boat
and two life rafts. The captain, af-
ter consulting with the mate, asked
Boatswain Mccarthy to take charge,
which he did, and called for volun-
teers, and the FIVE sailors who reached
shore in safety responded. The cap
tain instructed them to pull along
the beach and find place to get
ashore. They landed at 1:1e P. NJ,
Tuesday and made Cape Beale at
3 P. M. Before making Cape Beale
they tried to get back to the vessel
by the beach, but could not do so.
During the excitement Captain john

crew were at their stations. The res

credit for the manner in which they
