The woman said she only wanted
one, and her tone indicated that she
was anxious for that one. She ex'

Another child, she stated, was sick,

Queen Of Holland Has Agreed to Rec

er with such awful suddenness that
all efforts to save life appear to hav.
been utterly hopeless.
At a late hour 1t was reported that
some few survivors were still clingine
to the wreck, hut as the heroic ef-
forts all day of the lifeboat crews
had failed to reach them, little hope
that they will be saved remains.
A terrific southwesterly gale was
blowing right inshore and drove the
steamer on q sand bank close to the
northern jetty as she was trying to
enter the new waterway. Heavy seas
quickly pounded the wreck to pieces.
She broke in two, her forecart sinking
Immediately, while the doomed pas
sengers and crew could be seen for
brief space of time clustered on the
afterpart. Then the afterpart slipped
off the ledge and disappeared in the
mountainous waves. Tugs and life
boats, when the alarm first sounded,
promptly put out to the assistance of
the Berlin, but the violence of the
gale and the heavy seas made it i'm.
possible to approach the wreck, ami
the helpless would.be life savers saw
the steamer break up and the crew
and passengers washed away without
being able to render the slightest as
sistance. One man, an Englishman
was saved. Twenty-Five todies have
already been washed ashore.

Cheap irrigated lands in the San

there. and this feed produces gain al
least expense Of anything grown In
Colorado. 1t costs from $3.50 to $500
an acre to raise peas, and an acre
OF peas produces 400 pounds of pork.
They are feeding $4,000 hogs at the
present time in the San Luis valley,
