ing that no more should get in because
the boat would surely sink, SO / left them
and climbed over the ships rail just in
time to keep from sliding across the steep
sloping deck down into the water on the
lower side.
Explosion Saved Him.
within a very short time the vessel
sank until the water touched my ankles,
when 1 sprang into the ocean, hoping TO
swim far enough away TO escape the
whirlpool which | thought surely must
follow the ship when it sank. / had taken
about twenty-five strokes and began 20
be in dismay because l seemed to make
SO little Roadway, when the side Of the
ship toppled down toward me. As the
waters covered the boilers a great hiss
ing was followed -. an explosion which
heaved a large quantity of water and
Wreckage toward me. / was carried far
Their from where the ship was sinking,
but the rushing mass of tangled timbers
caused me fresh alarm, so I continued
my efforts to swim away, until on turn
ing my head | saw that the pile had
spread out nearly fiat ana some logs
had almost OVertaken me. A few strokes
brought me to d raft, upon which 1
scrambled, and as | looked around no
one appeared within twenty yards of me-
All | could do was simply to await re
suits, for | had no means of moving the
raft about, nor a rope that could be
thrown within reach of anyone.
Wailing and Screaming.
After the noise of the sinking vessel
subsidized l heard most hearTrending
Wailing. mingled with piercing screams
of those in their last struggles, and some
of these were shrleking the names Of
friends from whom they had been sep
arated. Words cannot convey an ade-
quate idea of the scene nor express my
feelings of pity and dismay. To be a
witness of such distress is indeed fright
full experience, especially when one can
not possibly render assistance. Although
the catastrophe was concluded within ten
minutes after the collision. / am sure
there was plenty of time for all to have
left the ship with life preseryers had they
merely known where they were stored
and how TO put them on. That could
easily have been learned by all who were
willing TO take the time for reading the
conspicuous signs that were on the walls
of all the staterOoms.'
The engine room crew, of those saved,
and the stewards department. left on the
steamer Pomona this afternoon for San
Francisco. All those wanting to go to
Portland left this evening at s O'Clock
on the steamer George W. Elder, the To-
cal relief committee making arrangements
for passage.

Truth Forced Upon Him.

after adjusting a life preserver, / gath
cred up my two grips and two bundles
and began to hurry for the stairway near
the stern. The halls were apparently
empty and ! inferred that all the passen-
gers had gone to the upper deck. As l
Climbed the stairway the vessel lurched
to one side and | quickly felt
the seriousness of the situation But
carried all my luggage all the way up
and showed it under a bench along the
rail so as not TO have 1t cause any one
to stumble The vessel was fitting more
every second as 1 moved along the side.

them There was scarcely any evidence
of panic, the women acting with hero
ism. The crew of the San Pedro immed-
lately lowered a boat and picked up a
large number of survivors, while the
boats from the Columbia lay to by the
San Pedro.
When the Columbia sank she carried
down with her about seventy-four pas
sengers. This estimate is not accurate
and the number cannot be definitely de-
termined until full particulars are re-
ceived from Shelter Cove, where four
boats are said to have been landed.

recognized us being eminently fitted
for the position. And II the people de.
eide they want that man. It will not
be necessary for him to spend months
chasing around here and there trying

lieye they would rather take the mat.

and not leave 1t all to the ov%er.anxious
office seeker. II n man hasn't done
enough to demonstrate his fitness for
the position he seeks and has to rely
on personal visitation to every section
Of the State, u honest opinion is that
he is not the man to put into the place
he so vigorously seeks. Somehow we
can't get away from the old fashioned
idea that the Office ought to be given
at least a little chance 10 seek the man
instead OF being brow beaten, and trod-
den under foot by the nan who pro.
poses to get 1t at all hazards whether
the people wish 1t or not. A man
doesn't have to be before the people
forever and q day before they "size
him up" and they a usually be count
ed on to do It fairly well. 1t seems
TO us to be oil right to go out among
the people and mingle with them with
n view to becoming better acquainted,
but there is a form of activity in this
matter that We believe the people do
not approve Of. II we are mistaken.

The early development Of Fairmont
was against the church rather than
IN Its favor. The growing city over
benton's Ferry church was organized
OF a Baptist church and the Palatine
church lost some Of her best workers
to the new organization. When the
Benton's Ferry church wa sorganized
the Palatine church suffered a similar
loss. On last Sunday We lost nine
others OF our nonresident members
to the new church at Everson. We
are always sorry to lose our members,
but we are proud of our three daugh.
ters and We hope they may all three
continue to be as happy and useful as
they were before they married and
moved to themselves.
