been found. no bodies have been re-
covered, and it is possible that the
sailors may have been picked up by
q passing vessel.
The steamer ottawa is practically
a wreck, the result of turning turtle.
while the crew was being taken off
the vessel.
Captain Birtini and a sailor are
dying from exposure.
One man is known to have gone
down with the schooner Louis Pah-

The steam barge Francis Vinton
was wrecked, but it's crew escaped,
The crew of the two barge Com
merce narrowly escaped when the
vessel went ashore near Manitowoc,
and was hammered in twain by the
force of the gale. The lives of 2S
men and a woman, who refused to
leave the steamer James II. Hoyt,
stranded on the rocks near Outer
Island are imperiled today.
With the wind sweeping every
thing before it, 1t is feared that the
steamer will be blown off the rocks
into deep water, and will go down.

Town Officers Meet Monday.

According to law the first meeting Of the town officers takes place next Monday, at which time the board will name the city clerk and city marshal Who the successful ones will be is a matter of conjecture, as it is under stood that there are several applicants for both positions. Unlike regular politicians, none of our town officers have been in politics, consequently they made no promises before their election. The Era feels certain that in naming the city clerk and marshal the new board will endeavor to obtain the services of the best men for the place and in so doing their actions will meet with the approval of the citizens of the town of Clifton.
 As none of the gentlemen on our town board want to have the reputa tion of having made bad blunders they will in all probability learn their duties and powers first and then go slow in their work, which will cer- tainly result in good government.

Contract Let for New Road on East Side.

The board of supervisors, at its re- gular meeting this week, awarded the contract for the building of the new wagon road leading from East Clifton to Patterson's addition to G. E. Reed, who was the lowest bidder.
 During the next month Mir. Reed will make his bond, which will be ap- proved at the next meeting of the board, when the work will be com- menced and rushed to completion. The completion of this contract will give the people of Clifton first-class wagon road on the east side of the San Francisco river from Clifton to the Potter ranch, distance ot more than three miles. At the other end of the road Mir. Potter has laid out a beautiful park, which he has an- nounced will be given to the town. This park is covered with d large number of young trees, which will be of good size by the time the town is ready to take charge of the park.
