WERE FOUR DAYS
WITHOUT WATER
Battle For Life By Survivors Of the
Ship Emily Reed.

Neah Bay, Wash. Especially The
crew Of the little six-ton sloop Teck-
la, lying at anchor here, was startled
by a feeble hail from a steel life
boat drawing up sowly in the light
breeze. In the boat we're the forms
of four men, three living and one
dead, survivors of the American ship
Emily Reed, wrecked off the mouth
of Nehalem River, on the coast of
Oregon, 200 miles from Neah Bay.
The men In the boat were:
First Mate Fred Zube.
Seam Ewald Abildsted.
Sea man Arthur Jahunke.
ShiD's cook, name unknown.
The dead man was the ships cook.
The three living survivors were in
pitiful condition. Their tongues
were swollen from thirst so that at
first they could scarcely articulate.
They had had no food since Sunday
night, nor any water since they left
the wreck of the Reed, Friday morn
ing.
Mr.. Zube said:
Almost the instant the Reed
struck the beach she began to break
up. In twinkling one OF the life
boats was smashed by a big wave
and the decks we're so deep in the
boiling water that there was no
chance to get aft, where Captain Ker-
sci and his wife, with some of the
other members of the crew, were
stationed. We jumped into the re-
naming lifeboat and cut the LASH
ings. Before we had completed the
job big sea broke over the wreck
and carried us clear OF the decks.
"a strong current swept us toward
the stern of the wreck, where We
could see Captain Kersel and the rest
of the ships company clinging to the
roof of the aft house. We yelled to
them to throw us line as we went
under the stern, and someone threw
one, but it fell short of our boat.
my arm had been broken when
the wreckage from the galley dropped
onto us, and there was only one good
oar, as the other had been broken
and the spare oars washed away.
We did our best to get back to the
wreck, but the set of the undertow
carried us away
I'VE tried to head for Tillamook
last night, but we had no compass
to steer by. When morning broke
| found we we're standing far out to
sea. ] thought it best to keep the
boat well out, hoping to fall into the
path of steamships. With this hope
set the course northward along tho
coast.
THE second night out we saw
lights, but 1t too dark to venture in.
There was neither food nor water,
and we suffered terribly from thirst
during Saturday Toward evening
the cook declared he could stand 1t
no longer and took a drink of sea
water. He soon became delirious.
cat about O'Clock Sunday morn
ing we saw a big steamer. She
stopped near us and we all believed
we would be saved. But the vessel
got under way again and left us.
The cook gave up the fight then.
He laid down in the water and in n
few minutes he was dead.
About Z o'clock Sunday morning
we made out for Tattoosh Island.
We were all too tired to manage the
boat very we'll, but along toward
Sunday afternoon got her headed
back toward Neah Bay.
Sunday seemed the worst day we
were out. We kept seeing all sorts
of vessels passing back and forth but
none of them would answer our halls.
We were generally too far off to be
made out plainly, / guess

Prohibition Wakes Deficit.
Portsmouth Star.

Probably the most surprised of all
persons who have felt the effect of the
wave Of prohibition which has swept
over the Southern and some other states
are United States Treasury Depart
ment officials. Liquor dealers were
aware Of what would Se coming to
them, but the internal revenue bureau
bad no suspicious of the great monetary
loss the government would sustain until
the reform had begun to operates
The losses arc piling up so rapidly
that serious deficit is being created in
the government resources, and con-
gress, 1t is said. will have to take up
the matter at the coming session and
cover the loss from some other source.
The treasury department estimates that
the deficit for this month alone will be
81. 600, OOO.
Just what method is to be suggested
to congress to make up the loss has not
been decided. but it may be thought
necessary TO devise further increases in
whi5key and beer taxes.
The treasury department officials say
the greatest loss in income has been
sustained in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Louisiana, the three big distillery
states. 1t is there that stamp fees are
collected in millions. Those distilleries
have lost 80 per cent Ct their trade in
the Southern states, and are now prac-
tlcally sending nothing into the dry dis
tricts. depending for business ON the
North and West. And now. reports
assert, the temperance wave is making
its way slowly north from Texas into
Arkansas, Colorado, Nebraska and
South Dakota.
The loss in revenue last month. treas
ury figures show, on spurious LIQUORS
alone, was sl,5O6, s19. The total since
July has been IS, $40, 95s, and figures SO
far received for October show that the
loss will be $1,000, 900 or more. The
loss on beers and other fermented lio-
uors in September amounted to 81. 7e6'

A SPLENUID VICTORY

The great political battle fought on
the Bird resulted in a splendid victory
for the conservative and patriotic forces
of the United States. The American
people, individually and collectively. are
to be congratulated upon their escap,.
from the disaster that would have fol-
lowed Mr.. Bryan's election as President
Not only would his success have brought
temporary disaster to the industrial
interests of the country, but it would
have seriously disturbed the future pol
lcies and character of our republican
form of government. His success as
an agitator, who appealed to the pas
sions and prejudices of certain classes
of citizens, would have been followed bv
other aspiring public men, and in all pos
sibility would have sown the seeds of
discord in our body polite to such an
extent as to ultimately overthrow cur
present form of government.
The triumphant election of William
Howard Taft gives promise that poll
ticians of Mr.. Bryan's class will not he
permitted to take charge of the affairs
OF the nation. And it is well that the
verdict of the people has been so en-
phatic in favor of the great and good
citizen who will be the next President.
His administration, no doubt, will be
one OF the most satisfactory that any
President has ever given. 1t was conf.
dence in his superior qualities that mad,
the best men of all classes rally to his
standard and give him such astounding
pluralities in commercial centers that
have heretofore been strongly Demo
cratic. Not only have the business in.
terests but labor has as we'll proclaimed
its unbounded confidence in the into q.
rity and ability Of Mr.. Taft. The cou!
try will now proceed to go forward
again. The people should be profoundly
grateful for the victory won by the Re.
publicans last Tuesday.
