ers. Most of these are the products Of
eastern nurseries. Among the lew
ones now being studied is a beautiful
pink rose grown by a Baltimore rOsar-
ian who has called il My Maryland"
It is a clean, straight-stemmed species,
a little less vigorous than the Ameri-
can Beauty which it resem bles, al
though IL is Of a lighter shade. As an
experiment, one stem OF a plant OF this
species was allowed to grow unrestrict-
ed and il almost touched the ceiling
Of the green house, a heighth Of about
10 feet This rose has some excellent
qualities and will be popular, although
it will be several years until a suffI-
cient number of plants are on the mar
ket to make it widely known.
There have been many discussions
as to the origin Of the American Beau
ty rose. When it was first sent to Eu-
rope it was received enthusiastically as
new rose, until an old French gar
dener traced IL back to the Madame
Ferdinand Jarmain, which was popular
in France nearly a century ago. There
is no doubt, however. that the present
form OF this magnificent flower ORR
ginated in the capital city Of the United
States. An Irish gardener, employed
in the government gardens, was rose
lover and made few experiments in
rose propagation in his own home. One
Of his results was the rose plant from
which every American Beauty rose now
in existence may be said to have
sprung. A washington florist, visit
ing this mans house. saw the plant,
recognized its possibilities, bought it
from the growers wife for so cents
and Immediately started its reprOduc-
ton on a large scale Its success. was
almost magical from the beginning and
while the originator received almost
nothing for his work, the man who
was able TO place il upon the market
soon acquired a fortune from it

There's nothing new in politics,

The Chinese say they knew It AL

W. M. PETERSON HAS
ADVICE FOR VOTERS

1c the Voters of Umatilla County:
The names of no candidates appear
upon the ballot for a number of Of
fices to be filled at the coming cleo
ton. If candidates for these offices
are nominated at the primary cleo
tion tomorrow. their names will have
to be written in upon the ballot on
blank spaces left for that purpose. /
call your particular attention to the
fact that in writing the name of your
choice for any office, you must not
fail to place a cross mark-N- in
front thereof. 1t will be useless to
write the name upon the ballot with
out placing the cross mark in front
of it.
Candidates who are not nominated
for office at the primary election to-
morrow, can not have their names
upon the ballot at the general elec-
ton as republicans or democrats but
will have to run as Independents. and
get their names upon the ballot by
petition. Hence, it is important thai
IL candidates for any office as dem.
ocrats or republicans, want to have
their names upon the ballot at the
general election, as democrats or re-
publicans, they will have to be nom
mated as such at the primary election
tomorrow.
Yours truly,
WILL NJ. PETERSON.

What is considered bold attempt
to dictate to the republican voters OF
oregon how they shall vote on state
and national contests tomorrow came
to light today when various repubh-
can leaders in this city received sam
pie ballots with the names OF the
chosen candidates marked, accom-
panied by letters beseeching all good
republicans to work for the nomina-
ton of these men even to the sacri-
flee of personal convictions in order
that the welfare of the party may best
be subserved.
The letters were signed by Charles
e. Lockwood as secretary of the state
republican club and were written on
the statinary of that organization.
However, a telegram received by
Judge stephen A. Lowell from Clyde
Aitchison, candidate for reelection as
railroad commissioner discloses the
fact that the letters and ballots were
sent out without the knowledge OF
sanction of either the retiring or in
coming president of the club. The
question, therefore, arises, who j:
back of Lockwood in the move?

CAPTAIN OF TITANIC
KNEW OF ICE BERGS
Partisan Skipper, Who Was Last to
Communicate with Lost Vessel
Arrives and Tells His Story

Halifax, n S, April 1s.-The liner
Partisan, one of the last vessels to
communicate with the Titanic, arrived
here today. Captain Hams and
Wireless Operator Sutherland declare
that Sunday night, when the wreck
occurred, was clear, and that the III
tanic was making great speed when
she struck.
If these statements are true. they
explain the catastrophe as the Titanic
must have struck the ice terrific
blow.
Captain Hams says that Captain
Smith of the Titanic must have known
all day Sunday that the largest ice
bergs known for years were floating at
least one hundred miles south of the
ordinary ice line.
Asked if it was possible for an
iceberg to lie so low in the water as
to be invisible on clear night, Cap
tain Hams said:
81 never heard Of an entirely sub
merged iceberg of sufficient size to
wreck the Titanic" Captain Hains
admitted he had never seen a clear

SURVIVORS ARE
IN DISTRACTION
ON CARPATHlA
Many Are Believed to be
Insane.
Fog Adds to Miserable Plight and
Suffering Believed Intense on
Board Steamer

New York, April 1S,-(Bulletin)-
The first word of the actual con-
ditlon of the Titanic survivors, aboard
the Carpathia was received here this
afternoon in an almost incoherent
wireleSs message which read:
Survivors in distraction. We pray
God for saving us. Helped by an
other boat. With rescue men pat"
Here the current failed and all ad-
ditional communication was severed.
The statement that another boat
helped in the rescue has renewed hope
here of relatives of supposed victims
who are hoping that others may have
been rescued besides the survivors
on the Carpathia.
Conditions for transmitting aero
grams could not be worse. There are
unfavorable atmospheric conditions
and so many stations are trying to
reach the Carpathia that they inter-
fere with one another.
The Marconi and United Wireless
companies have ordered distant sta
tiors not to try to reach the Car
pathia but instructed the stations at
Wells Flee. Saugahpnack and Sea
gate to communicate with the Car
pathia as soon as she comes with
range.
The White Star line announced at
three o'clock this afternoon that the
Carpathia probably will not attempt
to dock before tomorrow morning.
The officials said the heavy weather
will prevent the ship coming in safe
" through the tortuous Ambrose
channel and they feared the Difficult
ty in caring for the passengers
through the night, will be too great.
The Carpathia this afternoon con-
tinued to refuse all wireless calls.
The first official indication that
some of the survivors of the Titanic
wreck may be in serious condition
and many insane, resulting from eX-
posure by being tossed about In life
boats before being rescued by the
Carpathia, came today when Officials
of the White Star line accepted offers
from st. Lukes hospital to set aside
the new hospital addition for the use
of Titanic survivors.
1t is reported that seven survivors
are insane from their experience anc
many others are seriously i'll. The
White Star officials positively refused
to discuss the condition of the sur
vivors.
