ALL TAKEN ASHORE.
Rescue OF 600 Passengers From the
Wrecked Mount Temple.

miralty Office will at once begin an
| investigation to place the blame If
Pacific line steamer Mount Temple.
| which struck the La Have Ironbound
| lodges during a thick snowstorm early
yesterday while bound from Antwerp
| The indications are that the Mount
| Temple will be total loss The
rocks pierced the steamers bottom,
! when she drifted broadside on the
! lodges and the terrific pounding she
has sustained since she stranded has
further damaged the hull. The en-

| The work of transferring to the
mainland $50 passengers and its crew.
who remained on Ironbound island
all night, was resumed this morning,
and it is expected by night all will
| have reached this city. The $50 pas
sengers who were taken to Bridge
water by the tug Trusty late yesterday
arrived in Halifax at o'clock this
morning. A second train load arrived
during the forenoon. The saving of
more than 800 in number, under con-
ditions dangerous to the rescued and
rescuers alike is regarded as a feat
unexcelled in the annals of marine
disasters of the North Atlantic. When
the ship struck the rocks the hun
dreds of immigrants, among whom
were more than 200 women and chill
dren, were thrown into a panic. The
officers and crew had difficulty in
making the foreigners understand
that there was no immediate danger
and when daylight came and the
storm cleared, the panic was over.
When the steamer struck the seas
swept over her and for hours the pas
sengers stood waist deep in water. All
suffered terribly from the cold.
AS soon as order was restored line
was taken ashore from the vessel and
by means of baskets the women and
children were transferred to the
island.
The fishing schooners Hazel Vir-
ginia and Guide and the tug Trusty
assisted in the rescue, together with
boats from the mainland. Within
three hours all were landed safely
upon the island without an accident.
The male passengers were taken off
in f1shermen's dories. Late in the
afternoon the tug Trusty took $50 of
the foreigners to Bridgewater and
these after being supplied with food
and dry clothing were brought to
Halifax on a special train.
The immigrants are of different
races, including Austrians, Poles. CAL
Hcians and Russians. The majority
of them are bound for the Canadian
northwest, Ontario and Quebec.
The Mount Temple has six thous-
and tons Of cargo. a large portion of
which is glass, hardware, ETC., for
Montreal, Toronto and western Can
ada firms.

CAMP LIKES THE RULES.
Football Expert Says a Two Year.
Trial Has justified Them.

New York. Dec. 3.-Walter Camp
the great football expert, says that af-
ter two years OF trial the new foot
ball rules have justified themselves
When the rules were first adopted
critics said that the provision requir-
ing the ball to be advanced 10 yards
in three downs would result In many
no score games, but the result has
been exactly the opposite. This rule
caused the abandonment of heavy
mass plays which were good for two
or three yards but no more. The un-
limited forward pass which can be
tried now without serious penalty on
the first and second downs is the only
feature of the rules which the stu
dents of football seem to think should
be curtailed.

WAS A GERMAN IDEA.
Where Longfellow Got the Suggestion
for "Hiawatha."

Chicago, Dec. 3.-John Heckemelder
was the real inspiration of Longfellow's
"Hiawatha," Prof. Julius Goebel told
the Chicago Germanistic society last
night in an address in the Auditorium

of German literature in Harvard, where
Longfellow taught. The speaker identi-
fed Heckemelder as a Moravian who
lived in Pennsylvania, in the early part
Of the Seventeenth century. Prof. Goe-
lAal stated that his foremost predeces-
sor at Harvard discovered a set OF
Heckemelder's works, and by persist
emit application extracted from them the
idea for the great poem.

A sQUTRREL PROBLEM.
What Would You do With These
Pets in the Carrot?

A new problem in connection with
the pet squirrels CT town has arisen
In one house. Two squirrels have
made up their minds 70 live in the
garrett. They take long swing on a
tree branch and land on an orna-
mental shelf from which they have
eaten hole into the house. They
have about half bale Of hay there
and have settled down for the winter.
They play up and down the garnet
until it keeps everybody awake and
are a general nuisance. But Of
course there would be riot II one Of
them were killed. When barred out
they eat their way in. II caught in a
box trap they eat their way out Of
that. What is to be donep Must the
family stand it or move out and let
the squirrels have the housep There
ought to be some law on the subject.

TAX MONEY ROLLING IN.
Dickinson Is Paying Up Rapidly
These Days.

Approximately 5000 of the 1907
taxes Of Dickinson county have been
collected by Treasurer F. N. Morse.
Although the law permits the people
TO pay half Of their taxes this fall and
the other half next summer. Mr..
Morse says that 80 per cent of those
who have paid their taxes have paid
the whole amount. By paying the
last half before January /, rebate Of
5 per cent is allowed. Those who
neglect to pay at least half of their
taxes by the first Of the month, will
find that a ten per cent penalty
twice the rebate-bas been added, to
the first half.
The collections to date are consid-
cred especially good since it does not
include any Of the corporations or
railroads.
