THE LOG-BOOK

SAN FRANCISCO, October 23.-Nine
passengers who were aboard the
steamer Colon on her frightful trip
from New York 10 the Tort of Colon,
arrived here yesterday in the steamer
Acapulco from Ancon. They are Mrs.
G.. B. Stearns of Boston, her daugh-
tiers, Miss M. B. and Miss A. H.
Stearns, Miss Louise Bonner, Robert
Dalziel of Oakland. William J. Smith,
j. R. Smith, Otto Koch and John KEEL
ly.
The hurricane occurred on Septem-
Der 10Th, and was the worst seen in
that part of the world since the one
that devastated part of Porto Rico in
1889. The Colon's passengers were
lives of Miss M. 3. Stearns and anoth-
er passenger, one of the life boats be-
ing smashed against and into a state
room. Other life boats were smashed,
hatchcovers ripped off and blown
away. windows and doors broken, and
both smokestacks hurled into the sea.
Twenty passengers we're injured,
and scarcely one of the 1853 passengers
on board escaped contusions that left
them with black and blue eyes and
faces. One man was thrown partly
through a window. The wireless ap-
paratus snapped and the dangling
wires whipped passengers and crew.
Water flooded every part of the yes
sell which drifted 100 miles out of her
path.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 23.-The
British steamship Strathiord, which
arrived here today from Chile, reports
a successful raid by Chilean coast pi-
rates on the German steamship Serato,
in the harbor of Antofogasta, on the
night of September 2S. The cutting
out expedition was done almost under
the guns of Chilean gunboat. Pur-
suit was given, but the bandits took
to the hills back of Antofogasta and
escaped.
The German merchantran was an
chored in the harbor. loaded to the
matches with a cargo. and prepared
for sailing on the following morning.
Out of the darkness two dozen pi-
rates leaped on the vessels decks and
in twinkling the watch was bound
and gagged. The noise o, the strug-
gle awoke the captain, who grasped
his revolver and rushed on deck. The
pirates crept into the shadow as the
captain appeared. He was struck from
behind with a Delaying pin and fell
unconscious.
BY this time the crew was awak-
ened, and as they appeared on deck
the pirates attacked them. A pitched
battle with knives followed, in which
sevral of the crew were badly injur-
ed and the remainder bound and gag
ged.
The Chileans then sacked the vessel
from stem to stern, loading their loot
on lighters they had brought with
them. Early next day a Chilean gun
boat entered the harbor, and the plight
of the Serato was discovered. A large
party was sent in pursuit of the pi-
rates, who had several hours start and
who found safety in the hills with
their loot.

TOM WATSON A GOOD PROPHET,

political prophecy is, as a rule, unsafe
it cannot be said that Mr.. Watson

The California Development Com pany has notified the mutual water companies of Imperial Valley that it wants it's pay for water once a month instead of semi-annually One of it's reasons is that it needs the money. Other reasons are given, but they are unimportant and one of them at least is purely imaginary.
 The president of the c. D. Co. pro- fesses to be alarmed lest the opinion of Judge Wellborn operate to annul the contracts between the c. D. and the mutual companies, and leave the latter owing several months water rentals, which they may be unable or unwilling to pay and which the c. D. Company cannot collect by suit. Of course it is now generally recognized that Judge Wellborn's remarks on the subject of the C. D. Co.'S scheme of selling mutual stock for it's own bene- fit and his declaration that the con tracts are illegal were "obiter dictum' and did not affect the relations be- tween parties not concerned in the cases in court. Judge Wellborn mere ly fntimatcd that he would decide the  were an issue in a case presented to him. But he also made it clear that he would not annul those illegal con tracts unless the c. D. Go. should make restitution of the money re- ceived from sales of water stock.
 No case involving the contracts of any mutual company other than Num- Der five has been instituted, and the contract relations of the c. D. Go. and mutual water companies are in no inn mediate danger. The alleged fear of the c. D. Company that the mutual companies may welch on their water rates is not convincing as reason for demanding that the contract terms of payment be disregarded for the benefit or convenience of the c. D. Go. At least that is the view taken by some directors and stockholders of the mutual companies. Some stockhold- CTS say they will not pay their water rates monthly unless ordered to do so by a court at conclusion of suit at law, and they will not sanction any setting aside or waiving of contract obligations by their directors.
 1t is understood, however, that the directors of mutual companies num- bers four and five have asSented to the c. D. Co.'S demand and agreed to pay for water every month. The d1- rectorS of number one will meet on September and consider the matter. At present they do not appear to favor the proposition They or some
Imperial Valley press., 1908-08-22

of them, say it would be a greater inconvenience to settlers to advance money to the C. D. Co. than for the company to obtain the money 1t needs from other sources. If they had the money on hand. they would be glad tO lend it to the C.l D. Co. in an em- ergency. The contracts provide that payment snail be made by mutual companies to the c. D. Co., in July and January.
 The mutual companies are satisfied with the existing water rates and are not likely to seek annulment of their contracts Should the Supervisors es- tablish a much higher maximum rate, the c. D. Co might desire aunulmeut of contracts in order to be free to charge the higher rate, but there are complications to be considered and there is no probability that the existing contract relations will be disturbed by either party.
 The agreement made by the direc- tors of number one, whereby the C. D. Go. was to sell water stock repre- senting an increase of capital of mum Der one and appropriate three-dfths of the proceeds to it's own use, is to be submitted to the stockholders at an election to be called for that pur- pose the atttorneys having decided that to be the only legal way of deal ing with the question.
