ployers' liability law. a measure pro-
viding general eight-hour work

Eugene-A movement has been
set on foot by the people of Cottage
Grove to form new county with
that city as the county seat.
1t is proposed that the line should
cross the Middle Fork of the McKen-

to the present boundary of the coun-
ty. This would leave the Blue River
mining country In Lane, while the
present Bohemia district, in both
Lane and Douglas, would be included
within the boundaries of the new
county.
From the Bohemia district in
Douglas the line would run west to
the coast and include within the
limits of the proposed Bohemia coun.
ty the towns of Yoncalla, Drain and
Gardiner, all Of which are at present
In Douglas county.

Swept by Tidal Wave.

According to late advices Messina,
in Sicily, was terribly damaged by
the first shock and later three
fourths of the town practically was
swept from the earth by a vast wave
from the sea. Hundreds met death
in this inundation.
Calabrian towns, Palmi, Reggie,
Stella and Bagnara are reported to
have been destroyed completely, be-
ing now merely masses of ruins.
Many hundreds were killed or in
jured in each place. 1t is reported
that Reggie met the same fate as
Messina. Mount Aetna seems to have
been the center of the disturbances
and that portion of Sicily within a
radius of 40 miles seems to have
been laid waste. 1t is not known
whether the volcano is in action, as
that section Of the island is complete
ly cut off from the world, even the

of the city being destroyed.

Sicily Devastated.

Rome, Dec. ga special dispatch
received here from Palermo, Sicily,
says the dead at Messina as the result
of the earthquake and tidal wave of
Monday are estimated at 10000.
Scores are still alive beneath the
ruins of the city. Owing to the In
adequate means of rescue at hand
it will be impossible to bring these
people out alive. Other dispatches
received here place the dead at Mes
sina at even more appalling figures.
The TribUna publishes a telegram
saying the casualties will reach a
total of $4,000 persons. This report
has not been substantiated.
Twenty thousand persons were
killed, according to one estimate, by
an earthquake which Monday de-
stroyed most of the human habita-
tions on the eastern half of the is
land of Sicily and in the department
of Calabria, Italy. 1t is believed to
be the greatest disaster of modern
times.
Reports arriving late all tend to
confirm the statement that the catas-

Cured in 1888, when 10000 per-
sons perished at Messina.

FINISH CHANNEL
TASK this YEAR
Major Deakyne Promises 80
Foot Draught to Sea
Soon

Major Herbert DealSyne, United
states engineer. who succeeded Major
Sanford in charge of the work Of deep
ening the Delaware river channel, said
yesterday that it was progressing in an
entirely satisfactory manner, and that
it would be completed by the end Of
the year There will then be sO-feet
draught for vessels from deep water to
the fot Of Christian street. Philadel-
phia.
"The question of a 35-foot channel"
he added, "is entirely in the future, and
I believe the answer to 1t will depend
upon the results that win follow the
completion of the 30-foot depth. Until
such experience is had, / do not feel
that can express myself positively in
favor of the 35-foot project"
The work which Major DealSyne is
supervising is divided into two kinds:
The original work and the work Of
maintenance. Major Deakyne does not
expect that Congress win undertake
structures for permanently keeping the
water at the required artificial depth,
for the reason that such structures
would cost very large sums of money
The established policy in that respect
seems to be the making of annual ap-
propriations for dredging, in lieu Of
much greater lump appropriations for
the construction of jetties along the
muddy slopes of the channel, where 81
constant tendency to refill it with slit
and sand is shown. Major Deakyne
admitted that converging jetties at such
a place as the Duck Creek Flats, where
the worst shoaling has occurred in the
four years which have elapsed since the
original dredging, night prove very ef-
fective. The depth there has been re-
duced from 30 to % feet. but the bot
tom will be scooped out again by ths
time the rest of the channel is ready
for 30-foot vessels. Major DealSynt
said that he had no idea Of recommend
ing jetties at places where serious
shoaling occurred, as he did not thint
that such. a recommendation would b'
carried out
