The Portland came from the West ward today with Judge Wichersham aboard bound for Juneau. There were also a number of passengers off the Str. Northwestern which lies on reef at Latouche Island. No lives were lost and it is hoped the ship can yet be saved. Some of the passengers were just out from Fairbanks, and report that town dead one this winter. La borers, they say, are drug on the market A travelling man in the bunch declared that his house hasn't money enough to get him to make the trip over the trail again in the winter time. He insists that he waded water up to his arm pits, when the mercury was down to 70 below zero, and caught d bad cold in doing it. A roadhouse near by was the thing that saved his life.

NEARLY A HUNDRED
THOUSAND TRAINMEN
TO GO ON STRIKE
BY Associated press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 25.-A
crisis has been reached in the ne
gotiations between the railroads
throughout the west and their em-
ployes and ct is up to the general
managers" according to repre-
sentatives of the $4,000 trainmen
who have voted to strike unless
their demands are granted. The
reply of the general managers to
this sentiment is 1--WE have con-
ceded all we can"
Tomorrow morning both sides
will meet in conference, and un-
less there is backdown the most
gigantic strike in the history of
transportation in this country ap-
pears imminent. Forty railroads,
with a trackage of $4,000 miles
and an annual payroll of $780,
100000, are standing together on
the proposition.
Opposed to this aggregation OF
r
capital stands the Brotherhood of
Trainmen, with a membership of
between 10000 and $4,000, and
the Order of Railway Conductors,
with a membership of $4,000.
They demand an increase of 121a
per cent and a working day OF
nine hours. The general man
ayers have offered 10 per cent
increase without the working day
of nine hours. Work of counting
the ballots of the men on the
question of accepting the terms
of the general managers was COM
pleted tonight. The official tig-
ures will be announced tomor-
row when the men meet with
the general managers, but it is
believed that 95 per cent voted in
favor of a strike.

SACRAMENTO, March 20. - The
Southern Pacific reports that conditions
on all lines are slowly improving, al
though there has been no great change
in the situation since Sunday.
1t is still uncertain when the line be-
tween Sacramento and Benicia will
pc open, as great damage has been
done between here and DavisVille.
Reports from Truckee this afternoon
We're to the effect that the storm which
ragged over the mountains Sunday had
been broken and that it has stopped
showing.
If the snow does not start in again it
is thought freight traffic will be re-
sumed within the next day or so.
Large forces of men are working on
the tracks around Marysville and
While it is not expected that trains can
run from here to MarysVille until
Wednesday night, the boat sctvice is
maintained between Marys lie and
Wheatland, to which point train goes
out every day carrying passengers,
baggage, mail and express.
1t Is not hoped to open the line be-
tween MarysVille and Chico for three
days or more, as nearly two miles of
track was swept away between these
points The damage is being rapidly
repaired.
On the west side of the valley trains
are now running from San Francisco as
far north as Delta and 1t is expected
that line will be opened through to
Dunsmuir by tomorrow night.
North of Dunsmulr the line is still
blocked by washouts and no trains will
get through to Portland for several
days.

MURDER CASE
WILL BE TRIED
IN BOISE
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
BOISE, Idaho, March 25.-Charles III.
Meyer. William D. Haywood and
George A. Pettibone, charged with
completely in the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg. will be tried
separately in the district court Of Ada
county, in this city. At the convening
of the opening term of the court next
Monday, Judge Wood will announce
the dates of the trials and it will be
decided which defendant to put on
trial first.
Attorneys for both sides have sig
nified their READINGS for trial by the
last of April or ear Y in May.
Judge Wood this morning denied the
defense's motion for a change of venue.
In a short oral decision he said he was
convinced conditions prejudicial to the
defendants did exist in Canyon county
that did not exist in other counties,
but was not certain that in the out
lying precincts a fair and impartial
jury could not be obtained.
In the town of Caldwell, he said, GER
tain persons seemed largely prejudiced
against the defendants. If there was
any assurance that after the case had
been moved to another county the de-
fense would not ask for a further
change Of venue, he would not have
hesitated to grant the motion.
He favored the idea of attempting
to secure a jury in Canyon county and
if it became evident that an impartial
jury could not be secured, permitting
the defense to renew their motion.
He wanted TO be perfectly fair, how
ever, and would therefore grant the
motion of the defense, if the defense
would consent to have the cases taken
10 Ado county for trial
After consultation Attorney Nugent
for the defense consented to have the
cases removed to Boise, and the order
was made.

.BANN|NCS WILL
MAKE CATALINA
A BEAUTY SPOT
Win Suit for Avalon
Water Front
Owners of Magic Isle Will Expend
Half Million Dollars to Improve
Magnificent Bay Across
the Channel

Half a million dollars will be ex-
pended by the Banning brothers in the
improvement of the Avalon harbor
water front within the next few months,
according to q statement issued by their
attorney, Judge Gibson, in department
9 of the superior court yesterday after
noon just after he had succeeded in
establishing the Bannings' ownership
to q disputed strip of land above the
tidewater mark.
This magnificent improvement will
make the Magic Isle the most beautiful
spot on the face of the earth, and its
already worldwide reputation will be
augmented to such an extent that hum
dreds of fasteners will not be satis-
fed until they have again visited the
beauty spot.
1t was a great victory the Bannings
won before Judge Monroe yesterday.
For the past six months the Meteor
Boat company of Long Beach and Cata-
lima has been fighting the Bannings,
claiming that the landing place, a mar
row strip OF land, was government
property, or in other words rested be-
be claimed by anyone.
Will Beautify Crescent Avenue
Across the harbor front and directly
planted on the disputed property the
Bannings have maintained high
barbed wire fence for the past six
months to preve~ intrusion. This cut
off the entrance to Crescent avenue,
the man highway and water front
promenat of the island.
The Meteor people operated three big
sightseeing boats from the water front,
carrying passengers over the submarine
gardens, and their financial life de-
pended on their right to land on the
Avalon water front. This right was
not denied them, but they were ordered
to land only at the foot Of Claressa
avenue Rebelling at this, and claiming
right to land where tbey pleased, the
case was taken into court
At the foot of ClaFessa avenue the
great bulkhead authorized by the war
department is to be established. From
there clear to the steamer pier the fish
ing boat houses and their hideous racks
are to be removed. These boat houses
are to be placed at a proper distance.
and along the water front a sea wall
will be built making Crescent avenue
as beautiful a spot as the promenade of
Charleston, S. G.
This is to be simply one of the many
improvements. All the lots Just TO
the right of Claressa avenue have been
bought up by the Bannings and beau
tiful park is being laid out for the sum
mer. The pavilion is not far away, and
all in all Catalina will be a new Cata-
lima to the tourists of the next year.
In the suit of the Banning company
yesterday Judge Monroe ordered an in
junction to be issued restraining the
Meteor people from in any way inter- |
fering with the fence placed across the |
tide line by the corporation. A bond of |
$4,000 was placed upon the company TO |
cover any loss to be sustained by the |
Meteor people between now and May /, |
when the final fight is to be made and |
the attorneys withdrew from court.

SACRAMENTO, March 25.-with
practically all Of the down river islands
under water at last reports, only Grand,
Sherman, Sutter and Merritt being
safe, the worst flood in the history Of
this rich agricultural district, not ex-
cepting even those of 1862 and 1904, Is
now a matter of record.
On the Sacramento side of the river
Grand, Sutter and Sherman islands are
the only ones not inundated, and on
single rock which has withstood the
ravages of the water
Even Pearson district, where the
hardest fight ever made by river ranch
ers to save their lands has been going
on for week, is now submerged, and
while Randall island front levee was
still standing at last reports the strug-
gle has been given up.
While from all points come the word
that "the worst is over" vivid picture
cannot be drawn Of the awful destruc-
ton which has ruined crops and put
land worth millions of dollars tempor-
arily out of commission.
Back -, wees Break
The Pearson district back levee
broke near Richland shortly before
midnight Saturday owing to pressure
of water from the Terry Breaks and
the rise in the Mokelumne river. A
message was sent to Sacramento this
morning asking that a relief boat be
sent TO the district to save the stock.
Since that time telephone communica-
ton with Courtland and all other down
river points has been cut off and moth
ing more has been heard from the
flooded district
The steamer Fruto has been sent to
Pearson district on second mission of
relief and she is momentarily expected
to return with cargo Of the stock res
cued from Pearson lands. The Pear
son district is one of the chief dairy
ing parts of the county, and although
the residents are making a desperate
effort to protect their horses and cattle
until help arrives it is probable that
many hundreds will be lost.
Water Four Feet Deep
The water was reported to be four
feet deep in the Pearson district and
rising rapidly. The break is widening
