twelve survivors OF the accident on
board the battleship Georgia on Mon

suited, are lying in an extremely crit

Omaha, Neb., who. however, has
shown a slight Improvement, and

TRANSFER
WILL Be ISSUE
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE TO
PLAY POLITICS NEXT sES-
SION OF CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON Aug. 30.-Intima-
tons in communication to government
officials regarding the proposed trans
fer of the battleship squadron from the
Atlantic to the Pacific ocean indicate
that congress next winter will be the
scene of acrimonious debate, on the
subject, subsequent to the probable
Introduction of resolutions calling on
the public welfare to inform congress
why the battleships are to be trans
ferred.
1t is predicted here that the admin
istration will welcome such a resolu
ton of inquiry, that it will die a nat
ural death in congress and that the
administration will get all the glory
out of the debate. Friends of the ad-
ministration see in an organized oppo-
sitiOn in the east to the transfer of
capital against the administration,
while at the same time charging the
administration with having the same
motive in view. This attack is said
to have been practically responsible
for the determination not to send the
fleet to the Pacific until after con-
gress meets.
The administration men are al
ready chuckling over the prospect of
seeing the Pacific coast members, who
last year were the bitterest opponents
in congress, because of the Japanese
question, openly championing the fleet
movement at the coming session. They
declare; if the issue is raised, the mid
die west and far west will be found
solidly arrayed with the administra-
tior. On the issue. Friends of the pres
ident are authority for the statement
that the president has received thou
sands of letters from the middle west
commencing the transfer of the bat
tleships and practically none from that
section have opposed it.

PRICES Of COAL UNCHANGED
PACIFIC COAL COMPANY GIVES
OUT ENCOURAGING NEWS
FROM SEATTLE.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 30.-The
Pacific Coast company announced
yesterday that the company would
absorb the increased expense of coal
mining, growing out of the agreement
between the operators and the United
Mine Workers to advance wages Is
per cent and to make a general change
in mine working conditions. Win
two exceptions the price of coal Will
be unchanged. Two varieties of New
castle coal, used for domestic pur-
poses, will be advanced 25 and so cents
a ton.
Coincident with this announcement
the Pacific Coast company stated that
the company has $4,000 tons of Aus
tralian and Japanese coal purchased
for delivery in San Francisco and Will
ship $4,000 tons of Australian coal
to Portland. Five thousand tons or
Australian and japanese coal and 1000
tons of Pennsylvania anthracite, Will
be shipped here to help out the local
production.

HUGE SKELETON
300 FEET HIGH
BONES OF PREHISTORIC ANIMAL
At VANCOUVER, eEWIL-
DER SCIENTISTS.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. Aug. 30.-Pic-
ture a quadruped Of such enormous
proportions that if it sat on its
launches in Stanley park it would
cover an area of 1875 square feet and
it's head would rear 800 feet in the
air-a beast which could squat down
in the midst of a clump of gigantic
Douglas pines and nibble the tender
top sprouts from all the trees within
an acre of its position.
1t requires stretching Of the imag-
inatiOn to conjure a vision of such
monster-a speciment of prehistoric
animal life which PSYCHOLOGISTS have
never even dreamed of. That such
terrible creature once rOamed the Wilds
of the British Columbia coast, two
Vancouver men are now in the north
attempting to prove.
They are digging out of the earth
the bones of the extinct animal and
already several pieces of the skeleton
have been shipped to Vancouver and
have been viewed by a number OF
scientists and medical men who have
been utterly bewildered at the spec
tacle.
Seven feet six inches across the fore
head from eye to eye, is the measure
ments of a skull which could not be
placed in the biggest retail show win
dow On Hastings street. The sockets
apparently held eyeballs IS inches to
two feet in diameter, with pupils
the size of the lenses used in large au-
tomobile lights.
DR.. G. E. Bayfield, is one of the
Vancouver medical men who has in
spected the specimen bones now in
Vancouver. He is at loss to even
form an opinion of what manner of
monster they belonged to. One of the
bones is a rib over 16 feet in length.
another half a pelvic bone remark
ably we'll developed.
The bones weer discovered near
Skidegate, Queen Charlotte Islands.
and the remaining bones are now being
excavated for shipment to this city.

DEFENDS POLICY
DID ALL THAT WAS POSSIBLE IN
PACIFIC LIVESTOCK Asso.
CATION MATTER.

OLYMPIA, Aug. 30.-Deputy State
Insurance Commissioner, j. H.
Schively has given out statement
in reply to criticisms of his department
in connection with the trouble of the
Pacific Livestock association of Spo-
kane. In his statement Commissioner
Schively answers directly the Inter-
views given by Attorney Hindman OF
Spokane to various state papers Mr..
Hindmans criticism was to the effect
that the insurance department, upon
finding that the company had ex-
ceeded the legal amount of unpaid
claims, should have put the association
into the hands of a receiver.
This, says Commissioner Schively, is
not the law. The law only calls for
notice to the company to pay claims
within sixty days or to suspend WRIT
ing business. On the expiration of the
sixty days the commissioner is to re-
woke the charter of the company until
such time as the liabilities are paid.
These things commissioner ScHlNeiy
did. and now he demands to know
what further there was for him to 10
in the matter When asked by Spo-
kane firm why he did not have a re-
ceiver appointed for the company, he
wrote to them telling them the law IN
the case. To this letter he never re-
ceived an answer, but the criticisms

CROPS IN STATE
NOT DAMAGED
STATE GRAIN INSPECTOR SAYS
RAIN CAUSED DELAY BUT
NO INJURY.

No damage has yet been done thu
Eastern Washington wheat crop by the
rains of the last few days except tt

1.-The rain reached Colfax. Saturday.

stopped cutting all over the state. II
was a peculiar storm, being much
| heavier in some spots than in others
But it wet things down everywhere. II
rained hard Saturday night and in
some sections on Sunday. Monday

day morning, expecting more rain

newspapers that it came all right.
up to the time l left, the rain had
done no damage except delay matters.

thresh and the headers and combines
could not run.
bul IL CoIlCllloIlS are law dDiC IL Jill
this time on for three or four weeks
the crop VIII all be saved. 1t is a
mighty fine crop and of excellent quail
ity.
IF the rain should continue it would
likely bleach the uncut grain and to a
certain extent that in the shock. If it
continued, long enough. it would soft
en- the kernels and ruin them, at least
for milling purposes. Oats are all in
the shock and continued rain will col
or them badly.
But it would be unusual if it did
rain now. In the history of Washing
ton we never have, had trouble in this
regard. 1 certainly hope everything
will be favorable. We have a fine
crop and to lose it now would be worse
than never having had any.
Says Labor is Not Scarce.
1.-The state is supplied much better
with machinery than ever before ana
there is no scarcity of labor, although
there is no overabundance More COM
bines are being used than usual. Bind
erS and headers are still much en-
ployed and there is yet considerable
question which of the methods harvests
the grain the cheapest. For some
land the combines seem to give the
best results and in other sections the
binders and harvesters prove mCl'e
economical.
with the combines the farmer has
to wait until the wheat is ready To
thresh before he begins on field. If
it goes a little too long there is much
loss from shattering, perhaps three or
four bushels to the acre.
MY experience has been, too, that
if grain is cut just before it becomes
dead ripe it will be heavier and Of
better milling quality than though cut
later. This can only be done with ne
headers and binders. But il. many
places like Eureka flats, where the
country is fiat and the crop ripens uni
forr1ly, the combines are used to fine
advantage.

his cheeks, large enough to put finger
into. The food had to be given with
a spoon, for his mouth was covered
with crusts as thick as finger and when.
ever he opened the mouth they began
to bleed and suppurate. as did also his
eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in
short the whole body was covered over
and over. We had no rest by day or
night. Whenever be was laid in his
bed, we had to pin his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face and
make an open sore. | think his face
must have itched most fearfully.
