TO CUT STEAMER IN TWO
Great Quantities of Cargo Cast
Into Sea-Cattle Swim Ashore
Fear of Total Loss.

Hugh Town. St Marys. Scilly Islands.
April 2O.-The inhabitants OF the rocky
Scilly Islands were famous wreckers in
primitive times, but they will remember
this as the greatest day in their history.
The Atlantic Transport liner Minnehaha,
which ran ashore early on Monday
morning, disgorged part of her 1900
tons of valuable cargo. casting it on the
waters all day long. to be gathered up
by those who cared to take the trouble
Farming and fishing were abandoned.
schools were dismissed. and most of the
population or the nearby islands. men.
women and children, devoted themselves
to obtaining treasures from the waves
The salvagers decided to try to rescue
the Minnehaha in the way they did the
White star steamship Sueyic. which
went ashore near the Lizard in March.

Every effort to tighten the ship is now
imperative To-day the waves were too
high and strong for the tugs 10 go
alongside Consequently. goods were
thrown overheard from the forward hold
as fast as the stevedores and a large
crew. who arrived here last night from
Falmouth. could raise them to the deck.
Cases containing automobiles and
pianolas followed one another over the
side, striking the water with a great
splash Sewing machines and clocks
went with them. while Michigan furn;-
ture hoated everywhere. Many bales Of
cigarettes covered the face of the water
and tons Of cheap American novels
drifted to the nearby shore of Bryher.
where they were piled like seaweed.
Tidings Of this jettisoni1g spread
early. and leet of fishing craft. lug
gers and rowboats hastened to the scene
As fast as the cargo hit the water the
enterprising boatmen pulled up the
smaller cases and took the larger ones

The Mnnehaha lies pointing south
west. parallel with Long Rock She ap-
pears as if she were at anchor. and
smoke still curling from her funnel adds
to the illusion. In the half-mile channel
between her and the little island where
the passengers first landed and the cat

which are unable to approach closer. but
are standing by In case OF an emer-
gency.
Most OF the machinery was taken from
the wreck and transported to ST. Mary's,
where the customs officials took charge
Of it, 1t will be stored in warehouses
and later sold by the insurance COM
panies. but IL is doubtful II the water
soaked articles will bring much.
Many boatloads of provisions were
taken ashore at other points by the
islanders. The people of Bryher Island
fshed out boxes OF food. tea and to-
bacco and thousands OF paper covered
novels-enough to keep the islands In
reading matter for a century.
Two hundred and twenty-four cattle
swan ashore. while ten were drowned
Hay was brought from the steamer to
feed the animals.
The seamen here think that II will be
impossible To save the Minnehaha. and
they look for the first strong wind TO
break her TO pieces.

P|ACHOT DECLARES
LESSON IS CLEAR
Overwhelming Republication
of Reactionaries is
Indicated.

New York, Nov. 10.-''The lesson
taught by the election is clear,
said Clifford Pinchot yesterday in
commenting on the showing made
throughout the country by the in
surgent branch of the republican
party.
Taken as a whole, it is an over
whelming reputation of the reac-
tionary and unmistakeable sign as
a demand for the kind of progress
for which the insurgents stand. The
returns / have seen show that not
a single insurgent candidate for gov
ernor, with two exceptions, failed of
election, and that every standpat
candidate was beaten. The congress
sional elections tell the same story.
The only serious resistance to the
republicans was made by men frank
ly insurgents. Where administration
figured in the campaign, as in Ohio
and New York, the democrats won.
Where the republicans were not sup
ported by the administration, as in
California, Kansas and Wisconsin,
the republicans won. The people
are tired of government by big cor
porations for their own profit.
When a republican congress and
a republican president approved the
iniquitous schedules of the Payne
tariff law, they made their own de-
feat inevitable. Refusing to relieve
the oppressed people caused the
people to turn temporarily democrat
ic. Evidently the republican party
must be recognized along progress
i've lines or quit business alto
gether."

TAKE EIGHTEEN MEN
FROM MINE
Remarkable Rescues Are
Made in the Colo
RADIO Pit.

Delagua, Colo, Nov. 10.-Through
two openings scarcely 200 yards
apart, the dead and living were ia
ken from the. Delagua mines of the
Victor American Fuel company at
the some time yesterday, but the
dead far outnumbered the living.
Last night fifty-one are known to
be dead, while eighteen have escaped
alive. One of the imprisoned min
ers, staggering out of Number 2
mine unaided brought the news that
others were alive in the Number 9

japanese Escapes.
r. Akaiyi, a Jananese, after lying
insensible from the effects of the
afterdamp all night, recovered his
senses this morning and found his
way to the surface. He was dazed
and unable to tell through what pass
ages he had come but was certain
that others still lived in the part OF
the mine he had crossed The res
cue crew followed back from Number
. entry and soon brought thirteen
others to the surface. Scarcely had
the line of rescue men begun to
trickle from Number 2 mine when
l. became known that thirty-five
bodies had been found piled in Four
entry north.
Later other bodies were found in
the same section of the mine, which
brought the total to fifty-one. At
10 o'clock tonight thirty-five bodies
had been brought out to the morgue
established at the machine shop.
Both living and dead were for
eigners. Twenty-Five Mexicans were
found in one heap. Seven of the
department heads of the mine are
known to be buried in cave-in, 400
feet long which blocks the main
slope. 1t may be many days before
the bodies are recovered.
Many Close Calls.
The rescue work today brought
a constant series of narrow escapes
TO rescuers. Many were overcome
and were carried out on the backs

BITTER FIGHT FOR
COUNTY SEAT
Ephrata Still Holds the Hon
ors and Emoluments
but it Was Costly.

Of all the fights in the whole of
North Central Washington during
the campaign just past, there was
none which exceeded the intense in
terest taken in that fight over the
county seat of Grant county. In fact
a county seat fight always warns up.
This was no exception.
The campaign to remove the coun-
ty seat from Ephrata was started
many months ago. Wilson Greek
wanted it and so did Adrian. Coulee
City and Hartline, being jealous of
Wilson Creek and being located ON
the Washington Central railway,
which runs into Adrian. fought solid
ly for Adrian. Such a removal would
also throw them closer to the county
seat
During the preliminary skirmishes
the policy of Ephrata was like the
Americans at the battle of Bunker
Hill, to save its powder until they
could see the whites of the enemies
eyes" In fact, they played possum
till Wilson Creek and Adrian had be-
come mutually hostile camps.
Adrian stole march on Wilson
Greek by filing a petition for removal
first. Wilson Creek retaliated by an
attempt to enjoin the county COM
missioners from submitting the petit
tion of Adrian to the voters. The
issue in the case was whether Adrian
was a town or a village. Judge Stei-
ner decided it was town.
Finding that they were unsuccess-
full, and still harboring an unfriend-
ly spirit toward Ephrata. Wilson
Creek then joined forces with Adrian.
Hartline and Coulee City in a des-
perate attempt to remove the county
seat from Ephrata at all costs. Spies
from Wilson Creek and the other
hostile towns frequented the pool
rooms and hotels of the county seat
in order to learn the designs of the
Sphinxlike Ephrateans.

was caught gum-shoeing it around
town. A local delegation put him
on the rack and under proper threats
he decided to vacate.
The Subsidized Press.
Even the subsidized press was in
evidence and many midnight ses-
sion was held for the purpose of de-
vising ways and means for the Sc
curing of the control of divers sheets
Among these was the Wilson Creek
World. Ephrata sympathizers Sc
cured control and in the melee Edi-
tor Stanley was ousted. Then the
farmers around Wilson Creek pro-
tested by formal resolutions against
the methods use.i for the removal of
the Glitter.
Even poetry was resorted t., and
County Commissioner Erickson and
Senator E. c. Davis, both of Ephrata.
were made heroes in rhyme and
the whole county circularized.
Cost Ephrata $4,000.
The fight cost Ephrata citizens
close to $4,000, and it is estimated
that Wilson Greek, Coulee City, Hart
line and Adrian spent much more
than that amount.
Great Victory for EDhrata.
1t was a great victory for Ephrata.
In fact the victory was so decisive
that it is probable that it will settle
the question Out of a vote of close
to 1926, Ephrata received nearly
SIS votes. although but 61O votes
were necessary

The public school was opened in this
village on Monday last and we under
stand that the number of scholars in
attendance is very large so large that
an assistant win be found indispensable.
We rejoice to see this manifestation of
an interest on the part of parents to
send their children to school, and would
recommend the plan of visiting the
school often, which will prove an en-
enlargement to the scholars as well as
the teachers. The house has been fitted
up in very good style and is sufficiently
capacious to accommodate nearly two
hundred scholars
