leae to Benefit.

Des Moines, April 2o.-Mrs. Carrie
Lane Gait has filed a trust deed con-
veying to the Iowa State college about

In view of this action by Mrs. Gait
Attorney General Byers will not appeal

equity of its own, in fact, and could
not receive gift.
1t has been expected by the friends
Of the institution that Mrs. Gait, who IS
an Iowa woman, would see that the IN
tention of her husbands will would %

the bequest would have been extremely
gratifying. the trust deed filed by Mrs
Gait achieves the same end.

Thrilling Tales OF Rescue.

Thrilling Tales OF Rescue.
The survivors tell thrilling tales of their
rescue.
Miss Minnie Buxton of Portland says
she never felt any fear She swan for a
long time before she was picked up by
boat No. g. which was already over
crowded. having twenty-eight people on
board. In this boat were Effie Gordon and
Ethel Johnson, the only children saved.
Miss Buxton says the most terrifying
thing of the whole disaster was the
shrieking and moaning of the drowning
and the threatening crashing of the tim
bers from the decklOad of the San Pedro.
Grant Kline says he and his wife were
in their hunks. He jumped out when he
heard the whistles and put a life preserver
on his wife. He then helped her to the
upper deck and they both jumped into
the water almost alongside boat into
which they got. Kline says the San Pc
dro whistled twice. then the Columbia
twice, giving the San Pedro the right OF
way. He concludes there was a misun-
derstanding between the bridge and the
engineroom for the crash followed.
Russell, who was fireman ON the Col
umbia says that when he was coming
up out of the water tender he heard the
whistles. He put his head out OF port
hole and saw the schooner coming AM
stayed there till they struck. He then
went to his room and put what money ne
had in his pockets. The first assistant
engineer then sent for the water tenders
to go down to the fireroom. Russell
partner, n. c. Anderson, went below an'
was drowned as was another water ten
der, George Alexander. Russell went VI
TO the port side of the ship. but could not
find a life preserver. He stayed there
until the Columbia went down and he was
carried down with the suction. He came
up and the first thing ne got hold OF was
a buck rack. He was shortly after pulle'
on a raft, where he lay and froze tol
six hours There was an old gentleman
on the raft, reported to be wealthy, bu'

Transportation Facilities Are
Taxed to the Utmost to Ac-

COAL STRIKE is REPORTED
SENATOR CLARK MAY BUILD
BRANCH LINE.
(snecial to The IIerald.l

Modcna. July 2i-Ine travel TO the new
oil region continues and is taxing the ac-
commOdations of Modena as well as the
team transportation facilities between
here and Virgen City.
Much ignorance is shown by some OF
the new arrivals as to the distance to
the oil strike and changes en- route.
The Modena route offers the best facili-
ties, owing TO the daily stage service to
St. George, a distance of sIxty-five miles.
At the latter place connections are made
with conveyances for Leeds, an additional
eighteen miles, and thence with ViTgen
City, an additional twelve miles.
The new strike is within three miles
of Virgen City. Special team service can
be had from Modena for S55-
Many Options Taken.
Reports Of options being taken on hold
ings, not alone in the vicinity OF the new
strike, but at remote points as well, are
Analysis of the oil is said to show %
per cent gasoline, 10 per cent paraffine and
the balance kerosene.
Paucity of Information is owing to the
fact that the initial ventures il the field
We're made in good faith. and the Ma
poleons of the movement are not con-
cerned over how little nor how much
the public learns of their success in the
fieId
That a number of new rigs will be
placed in commission as soon as they
can be conveyed TO the field is certain.
Ii is apparent that some captains of
finance have been investigating the field
Tor months.
Coal Also Abounds.
Aside from the discovery of oil, some
very important discoveries of coal have
been made in the same region and il has
been generally stated that W. A Clark
president of the San Pedro railroad com
pany, some months ago voiced himself as
being agreeable 10 giving the Dixie cOun-
try railroad connections, provided coal in
certain quantities could be found. 1t is
said that the new discoveries of coal are
much greater than Mr.. Clark expressed
as being necessary to encourage railroad
building. No less than three veins OF
coal, traceable for number of miles and
from ten to twelve feet in width, are said
10 parallel one side of the oil zone.
ExtraVagant Claims Made.
Some extravagant claims are made by
some of the oil seekers reaching here.
and the Standard Oil company must be
in pecuniary straits, judging from the
fact that a great many of its prOcessed
experts lose their Rockefeller urbanity
when, upon reaching here, they learn of
the remoteness of the field and the stage
rates of fare
A great many oil seekers have been
dropping off at Lund, prefeTring a slight
~ shorter but dustier trip, and others,
with evident artfulness, have been drop

region via the Apex Mining company S

The boom is on and wears rather sub
Stantial air. At the new strike reports
have it that the drill is being crowded
down with difficulty owing to the increas-
ing flow Of OIL the object being to pune
