AFTER COAL MEN.

Misdemeanor.

OLYMPIA. Feb. 12.-The house

features decided to report favorably
H. B. No. at, introduced by Hutch
inson Of Spokane. making it a misde-
meanor to sell less than 1000 pounds

farms adjacent is meeting with lit
tie opposition. Mr.. e. s. Hill, a
prominent farmer who resides eleven
and one-half miles east of the city.
however has the following to say of
the proposition:
cit appeals to me as the only
proper step. There are many ad-
vantages to be derived from having
the roadbed parallel the highway.
Cars can stop at any point to gather
up produce and thus be easily &C.
cessible to all farmers along the
highway and much more easily &C.
cessible to those residing at dis.
lance than it would be if the tracks
cut through the fields.
I'm my opinion the road would not
interfere with traffic along the high
ways, as the thoroughfares are broad
and, as I understand it, only in the
Aeighborhood of three feet would be
cut from the highway.
1.-THE saving vi the road to the
farmer will also be immense, as with
twelve loads Of hops I can save
eleven days Of hauling, being able to
load that amount in a day on a car,
where otherwise it would require
twelve days Of hauling. 1t is safe
guess to state that no one will be
compelled to haul more than a quar-
ter OF mile II his land is situated
along the track of the traction COM
pany.

A marine disaster with an appalling

beyond the limit Of human endur-
ance came to light today when life
boat of the Joy line steamer Larch-

In the boat were several bodies Of

eleven men whose suffering was so
intense they seemed oblivious to the
fact that death was in their midst
and that they had escaped only by
virtue of their ability to Withstand
the rigor Of the zero weather in an
open boat at sea.
The boat brought a tale of disaster
rarely equalled in New England va.

outcome is ascertained 1t will he
found that not less than $50 lives
were lost. Following closely in the
wake Of the solitary lifeboat came

The cause of the accident is not
satisfactorily explained. 1t occurred
off Watch Hill about IL o'clock last
night, when the three masted schoon-
South Amboy for Boston with coal,
crashed into the steamers port amid
ships. Captain Mcvey Of the Larch-
mont was among the saved and de-
clares the Knowleton suddenly
swerved in her course and luffed up
into the wind and crashed into his
vessel.
Captain Haley Of the Knowleton
asserts that the steamer did not give
his vessel sufficient sea room. The
steamer, with huge hole torn in
her side, was so seriously damaged
that no attempt was made to run for
shore and she sank in less than half
an hour. The Knowleton, after she
had backed away, began to I'LL rap
idly, but the crew manned the
pumps and kept her afioat until she
reached Point Quonochontaug, where
they put out in lifeboat and rowe6
ashore.
The majority of those aboard the
Larchmont had retired for the night
when the collision occurred and with
the exception Of the crew were un-
prepared for exposure to the weathe.
which prevailed. Many bodies are
being washed ashore at various
points along the coast.
