EXPLOSION WRECKS BOAT
Miraculous Escape of Crew of Dyna-
mite Laden Vessel off Coast
of Mexico

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-Sur-
vivors of the explosion of the gaso-
line schooner Charles Hansen which
blew up off the Mexican coast June
&c arrived here last night on board
the Pacific Mail liner Newport, after
series of privations that included
ten hungry days at La Trista Maria
an island near the Mexican main
land.
The Hansen was loaded with pow
der and dynamite When nine days
out from San Francisco the gasoline
engine began To back-fire and the
fuel supply caught tire. For twenty
four hours the crew OF nine tried to
extinguish the flames, which burned
the vessels boats. When the fire
had eaten through the decks and was
nearing the cargo of explosives, a
raft was hastily constructed and the
crew left the schooner.
Before they were 400 feet away
the vessel blew up, scattering wreck
age over the sea and almost over
whelming the craft. After three
days the crew made La Trista Maria,
and there they existed for ten days
on shell fish and sea weed The cook,
Harry knordeck, died of starvation
The eight survivors, including
Lloyd and Engineer Frank Stetson,
were rescued by a Mexican govern
ment transport. Capt Burke lost
his glass eye while on the island and
bemoans this i'll luck more than the
loss of the schooner.

THE NORTHWEST CROPS.
Reports From the Harvest Fields of
The Northwest

WESTON, Ore, Harvest is now
on in full blast throughout the Wes-
ton wheat section. The yield so far
indicates an average crop but many
fields will run from As to So bushels
per acre. AS a rule the berry Ia
plump and heads well filled, not
withstanding an exceedingly dry sea
son.
Many samples have been sent in
and all so far tested, according to To-
cal buyers, run from SO to as high as
So pounds to the bushel AS a
weight of only So pounds is required
for No. l wheat, it is seen that a
more than average good quality OF
wheat is represented in this seasons
crop. Some smut prevails in nearly
all of the fields, although extra care
was taken by the farmers in prepar-
ing their seed. So far there is no
market for wheat, as the grower is
holding his crop for the top market
price, which according to the opin-
ion of all will not be less than one
dollar per bushel.

LABOR UNIONS PROTEST
Demand That State Legislature Give
People Vote on Judges

The labor unions of the State of
Washington have started a cam
paign to secure the repeal of the
law, taking away from the people the
right to nominate by direct vote
the judges of the state supreme
court. The Seattle Union Record.
which is the official organ of the
state federation of labor, is leading
the campaign.
Two official protests are printed by
the paper. One to be sent by the
union mem bers to Governor Hay, the
other to the members of the state
legislature. Every union man in
the state is urged to sign the pro-
and one to the members of the leg
and on etc the member of the leg
sender
The movement has been started
by the central labor council of Seat
tie. 1t is expected it will be taken
up by the unions all over the state.
d. c.. Coates, associate editor of
the Labor World, states that he is
of the opinion that the campaign
will be taken up locally. The OBJ
ject of the unions is to Hood the
governor and the members of the
legislature with protests and secure
the repeal of the law.
Protest tn Governor
The form of protest sent out from
Seattle is as follows:
To M. E. Hay, governor, Olympia,
Wash. Sir:-Without giving any no
tlce to the people of the state, the
Legislature, ending in March, 1909,
took from the people the cherished
privilege of nominating their judges
of the supreme court. Who, am ng
the elective officers of this state,
could have been elected in 1908,
had he announced to his constituents
that he would help to deprive the
people of any portion of the direct
primary? Who will dare defend
such action in -.-e next campaign?
You signed the bill, perhaps with
out close scrutiny, but it is opposed
to our republican, form of govern
ment. Every good citizen demands
it's repeal. Very truly yours,
