WASHINGTON. Dec S,-Recalling
the fact the leading political parties
in their last national conventions
pledged themselves to the passage of

Gently resigned the governorship of
New Mexico, i'm his annual report to
Secretary Ballinger, again urges that

the coming session of congress.
1--WE have" says the report, "a pop
ulation of nearly 100000, the majority
of whom are descendants of the Anglo

as good a people as ever lived in any
state or territory. We have always
been loyal to our country and to our
flag"
Recommendation is made for the Gre
alton of another judicial district in the
northern part of the territory. The
criminal laws, it is declared, are being
as vigorously enforced as those in any

SOCIETY RESPONSIBLE FOR

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Part of the re-

ion of Mrs. Bowen w. Schumacher of
Highland Park Mrs. Schumacher adj
dressed the members Of the Ossoli Wo-
mans club at their meeting in the
Highland Park clubhouse yesterday.
The subject under discussion was a
plea for Simplicity
After hearing Clifford G. Roe dis
cuss the subject of Traffic in Girls,
Mrs. Schumacher said:
Il have often thought how much we
are responsible for such conditions.
When our entertainments are over
elaborate and we dress likewise, there
is an almost irresistible temptation Of
fered to poor girls to initiate us"
Less elaborate dress and less pomp
in entertaining" Mrs. Schumacher said,
would set an example to these unfor-
tunate young women who have not the
means of initiating US in such things.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 3.-Advices

station.
A special from Port Crescent, Wash,
says that after laundering the Matter

before she capsized. The survivors of
the crew were picked up by the Una
tilla lightship.
1t is probable that the wreckage
picked up by Indians near Neah bay
yesterday came from the Matterhorn.
History of Vessel
The Matterhorn was a four-masted
iron bark, was built at Greenock in
1882, was owned by c. e. Dcwolf &
Co., and commanded by Captain Sal
ter. She was classed in Lloyds as
1OO-A. She measured 1854 net tons
burden and had always enjoyed the
reputation OF being a fast sailer and
a fine craft. Captain Salter is well
known as a skillful navigator.
Barley ships, with no wheat for
weight, have had hard luck during the
past year. November 30, 190S the Prit-
ish ship Brodick Castle cleared from,
Portland with a cargo of barley for the
United Kingdom and was never heard
from after crossing the Columbia river
bar.
on Saturday, November 27 the day
on which the Matterhorn foundered, q
gale that at places blew more than
eighty-four miles an hour, swept the
Pacific coast between northern Cali
fornia and Alaska.
The Matterhorn, which bound from
Portland, Ore, for the United King
dom, encountered the furious storm
that ragged off the oregon and Wash
ington coast for the last ten days, and
after standing on her beams end for
three days, turned turtle. Captain Sal
ter and the second mate, with twenty
five members of the crew got safely
into one boat, and made for the Una
tilla lightship.

twenty-seven hours. and suffering great

BELLINGHAM. Wash, Dec. 3.-Yes-
terday's estimates of flood losses in
northwestern Washington are almost
doubled today as the water recedes and
outlying districts are heard from.
Many place the loss at $2500,000 in

daily by boat from Seattle.
Resumption of train service into this
city is not expected for eight or ten
days.

Waterworks Crippled
The waterworks system was crippled
and the electric light plant flooded.
Every shingle and lumber mill on the
SIagit and Nooksack rivers is shut
down and many of them are partially
wrecked.
Several million feet of logs are float

Scores of logging camps and miles
of logging railway have been oblit-
Grated.
The Skagit river is back within Its
