MANY DROWNED
Two Steamers In Collision Dur ing a Heavy FOg-One Cut
 to Waters Edge.
15O LIVES ARE LOST

San Francisco, July 22.-The steamer Columbia, bound north from this port for Portland, collided with the steamer San Pedro on Saturday night about midnight, off Shelter cove, Mendocino county. There was a heavy fog at the time and the San Pedro heavily laden with lumber struck the Columbia on the port bow with such terrific force that she was cut down to the water and sank in about five minutes.
 About one hundred persons sank with her to a watery grave and the rest, numbering about eighty, were saved by clinging to the San Pedro, from which vessel they were rescued some hours later by the steamer Roanoke.
 Captain P. A. Doran of the Colum- bia, went down with his vessel.
 The San Pedro was picked up by the steamer George w. Elder, and is now being lowed into Eureka.
 Later it was reported that eighty of the passengers and crew of the Columbia were saved and one hun dred and fifty were drowned.
 The only steamer named Columbia listed in shipping registers as hailing from a Pacific coast port is owned by the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company, and halls from Portland. She is BIO feet long, registers 1,746 tons and was built in Chester, Pa, in 1880.
 The San Pedro halls from San Francisco and is 163 feet long, re- gisters 359 tons and was built in 1899 at Aberdeen, Washington.

MORE FAIR NEWS
Local Citizens are Very Liber-

$1,000 SECURED FOR EVENT
Idaho County Fair" to Eclipse
all Previous Efforts.

It's no more than fair to saw
that the fair arrangements for this
falps fair are in fair way to
make q fair worthy of any fair
minded man or woman's notice
and that we're going to have a
carnival here which will provide
the best kind Of entertainment for
every man, woman and child in
Idaho county if they will but at.
tend and give Grangeville an oppor-
tunity to entertain them. There's
going to be four days of fun, en-
joyment and interest for every
body. You're planning to come
are you not?
At a meeting of the executive
committe last Monday night it was
decided not to appoint sub-com-
mittees at present but to wait un-
til arrangements are little further
along. The executive committee
will look after all the details until
it is necessary to ask the CO. oper-
alton of other citizens to assist in
the completion Of the different
plans. Secretary Hattabaugh has
already sent out scores of circular
letters setting forth the object and
plans of the committee and the
project is sure to be we'll advertis-
ed in all the surrounding country.
Several new and novel advertising
ideas are to be used in exploiting
the advantages of the fair.
1t is the intention to pay particu-
lar attention to the exhibit of live
stock. Very generous prizes will
be offered for all classes of cattle,
horses, hogs, sheep, etc. Proper
stalls and pens will be erected for
the accommodation Of the stock
and it is expected that with these
liberal inducements for the con-
venience of the exhibitors and their
exhibits very good showing will
be made. Farmers and ranchers
are requested to watch for premium
lists for farm products and live
stock, which will be issued in due
time. 1t has been suggested that
one large booth or hall be erected
for the display of grain and other
farm products and this idea may
be carried out.
Secretary Hattabaugb will leave
the fret of the week for Spokane
where he will look up the matter
of attractions for the big event. A
theatrical company may be secured
to provide entertainment in the
evenings. Several free attractions
will probably be contracted fol
before long.
Messrs. Fred Mckenzie and j.
w. Hockersmith, who circulated
the subscription paper to secure
funds fer the fair, reported at Mon
day nights meeting that they hat
secured something over eight hun
dred dollars. They were of tht
opinion that as some of the bust
ness men had not yet been con
suited enough could be secured tt
guarantee total of 81, 900.
The executive committee have
decided that the event shall b.
known as the "Idaho County FAIR
If enough exhibits are furnished
the grain and fruit from the differ
ent vicinities of the county may b.
labeled as grown and exhibited b.
farmers of the locality from whicl
it it brought. Harold Harris will
have charge Of the issuing of tn
official program.

A Correction.

am Just in receipt Of letter from
Mr. Bean asking me to correct re-
port that is being circulated over the
county, especially in District No, l, to
the effect that he (Mr. Beam paid
Joe johnson sum Of money to with
draw from the race for sheriff. In re-
sponse, ! beg to state this is absolutely
false and ! positively assure the peo-
pie of Chickasaw county that no
money consideration was entertained
by either party in connection with
Joes withdraw. And | will further
state that neither gentleman did any
thing in connection with the nomina-
ton being conceded to Mr.. Bean that
would reflect in the least on the honor
of any one. Now the question natur-
ally arises, who is it that is agitating
such reports and why this ripple Of
confusion? The vote Of the first pri-
mary surely indicates Mr.. Bean as the
choice of the people from any reason
able standpoint. Joe Johnsons friends
advised him to withdraw because they
did not feel that he could win with
such heavy odds against him.
Now, in conclusion, what has Mr..
Bean done to incur the anger Of any
fair minded man? Is it on account Of
the selection of me as his deputy in
this district? If so, | am exceedingly
sorry, and most positively assure you,
kind reader, that | will never accept
this place without the approval and en-
dorsement of the good people Of this
section Of the county. Now | will
kindly ask the agitator Of this little
dissatisfaction to come out boldly and
tell their troubles. If this is a person
al thrust directed at me, as the indica-
tions plainly point, say so and tell why.
Mr.. Bean considers me a good man
and suitable in every way for the place
and if you know anything to the con-
trary it is your duty as a citizen to ex-
press it and give us chance to cor
rect this awful blunder on the part Of
Mr.. Bean.
Hoping we may soon become cam
again, | am
Respectfully,
. r. E. johnson.
