SPEEDERS CONTRIBUTE
TO CITY'S FUNDS

Speeding autoists have contributed
largely to the city treasury here dur
ing the past week. Fourteen automo-
bile owners have been arrested for ex-
ceeding the speed limit of 10 miles per
hour. The most of them have paid
their fines, $40 in the case of each.
The violators Of the ordinance are
Capt c. p. McCan, Robert r. Carter,
J. +. Robertson, l.. A. Woodward, Al
bert Sutton, NJ. o. Downing, Robert
w. Pratt, +. 0. Hall, H. H. Hadlock,
A. Slarat II. Glass, j. w. Hudson,
l.. f. Ireland and Lou Baldwin.
The numerous arrests that have been
made have aroused the ire on the part
Of number, who declare that warn
ings should be issued before strict
| enforcement of the law, which the
! officials have been lax in maintaining
until the machines were timed at th,
beginning of last week. People livine
on the Heights urged the enforcement
of the law. declaring that the speed of
many cars along the principle street in
that section Of the city endangered the
lives of children living there. One of
the peculiarly funny situations of the
speeding arrests was the case of Coun-
Gilman j. +. Robertson, who voted for
the rule and who was among the first
to feel its effect.

ventiou this week, good old-iashioned,

BANK WRECKER
BUILDS ROADS

w Cooper Morris, the convicted bank
wrecker, of Portland, has been brought
from Salem aud is now assisting In the
construction of the Portland Hood River
auto road. Morris, it is declared, If an
exemplary laborer and is toiing with a
win on the highway. He spent the first
few days on the regular pick and shovel
gang, but because OF his wilingne IS aud
intelligence he has been added to En-
gineer Murray Kay's surveying gang.
The work on the road is progressing
rapidly. Adam Shortgen, accompanied
by one Of the prisoners, a skilled steam
shovel man, was at Dee Sunday 10 in-
spect a steam shovel near there owned
by the Mount Hood X r. One Of these
labor saving devices will probably be
soon added to the equipment Of the 70
prisoners at work on the road and will
hasten it's completion.
Mr.. Kay stated yesterday morning
that the cost OF making the cut around
the most difficult part Of Shell Rock
would be far smaller than estimated by
the railroad company. Estimating the
cost OF moving solid rock at 500 pen
yard and loose rock at 30 cents per yard
the route surveyed by Mr. Kay as com.
pared with the railroad officials figures
will mean a saving OF 81 ,524.

RECENT ACTIONS OF
CITY COUNCIL

At an adjourned meeting of the
city council last Thursday evening, a
resolution was adoptend to the effect
that an ordinance should be passed that
every citizen should be fined the sum
of $50 who should fail to turn off the
water of hydrants when the fire alarm
rings.
The fire and water committee recon-
mended that meters be placed on the
Mount Hood and Oregon hotels, the
Hood railroad station, the city schools
and livery stables.
After the report from the street
committee that the road to the spest
house could be opened for small ex-
pense, the comittee was instructed to
open the right of way. This way is
needed during the highwater period to
dispose of the garbage from the city
near the old pest house.

NATIONAL RECEIVES
ADVANCE ORDERS

The National Apple Co, the storage
building OF which is rising in the easI
end Of the city along the foot OF State
-treet, announces that orders have al
ready been received for II carloads OF
apples These advance orders for fruit
for the new company are due mainly t,
the iac that c. II. Sproat manager OF
the National Co has become we'll
kuowu to the trade through his former
connection with the Apple Growers
Union and because OF his popularity and
reputation for stability with the mer-
chants OF the country.
The fruit, which is to be shipped in
the fall and early winter, does not in
dude any Newtowns or Spitzenburgs.
In addition to the orders for 2 car
loads, an order has been received call
ing for a car Of Aristo Reds. So far as
is known, this variety has never been
heard Of in the valley. If any grower
has any fruit of this variety the man
agement Of the National Co. would
gladly hear from him.

and camp outfit to Wallula, Wash,
where they launched the little craft in
the river. The entire trip to this city
was made on the waters Of the Colum-
hia, except the portage around the
dalles from Cello to The Dalles.
I'VE have enjoyed our outing ex-
tremely. said Mr.. Gore, who with his
bride left here Monday for the remain
der of the journey down the river to
the Washington town. Although we
had our camp outfit along, we have not
needed TO use it, having landed always
at some town on the river bank. The
only uncomfortable time we had was
above The Dalles, when rain struck
us. We took our canoe from the water
and tried to make a shelter by turning
it over US. However, it was better
to don our mackintoshes and proceed
down the stream -
Mir. Gore is an attorney at Kalama
and has long been an enthusiastic can
DIST on the river at that point.

BREAK IN FLUME
PLANT SHUTS DOWN

Because Of break in the big Aume of
the power company, the electric plant
Of the Hydro-Electric Co. at fuckers
bridge was forced 20 close down yester-
day from four O'Clock in the morning
until about the middle Of the afternoon
The mishap was caused by the breaking
Of stay in the flnme, allowing a num-
Der planks to be washed off This is
the first trouble had by the company
since the plant began operation early in
the spring.
A number of shops and places Of
business, among them the Glacier Of
fee, the typesetting machine of which
is operated by electricity, were incon-
venienced and caused delay because Of
the accident.

Morris Home Burns

The Barrett residence Of l.. F. Nor
ris, recently purchased from A. G.
Buck. was destroyed by fire last week.
Mr. Morris was away in the Upper
Valley. A painter was hanging paper
at the place, and it is thought that the
fame originated from fire used by him
in boiling his paste. The building was
valued at 81, 600 with $500 insurance.
MIR. Morris lost all of his household
goods. Indeed, everything except the
clothing on his back. The household
loss was estimated at s400.

HONEYMOON SPENT
ON CANOE RIDE

A honeymoon spent on a canoe ride
has been the novel experience Of Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. j. Gore. of kalama,

J. Mckay, who was principal during
the past year of the Kalama high
school. Immediately after their wed

staggered and sunk lower with every
lurch of the sea.
Il must. have been apparent from
ftne outset that there was ftttle hope
for many of that company. Although
she carried the maximum of life RATS
and lifeboats they were cruelty insuf-
ficient for that great company which
a few hours previously, had been so
cheerful and happy at the prospect
of soon reaching their journeys end.
The staggering of the wounded mon
ster and the gradual sinking by the
head must have indicated to all that
the end was certain Passengers We're
buoyed up by the hope that assistance
was coming as fast as ships that had
picked up the urgent appeal Tor aid
could be sent through the water. But
the officers could have entertained no
such delusions They knew from the
messages received that no vessel
could reach them before daylight and
with the water making in the holds
faster than II could be checked by the
pumps they must have realized that
only floating wreckage and the filled
lifeboats and RATS would greet the
rescuers.
So they carefully filed the boats,
lowered them into the water End or
dered them TO row far enough away
so that the whirlpool suction that
would follow the final plunge of the
Titanic would not swamp them. The
S,455 life belts were dealt out and the
IS iifobuoys placed where they could
be used, but It was realized that in
the final analysis these would be OF
no use and that those on board when
the great plunge came were certain
OF death.
The small boats. bobbing IKE corks
on The water amidst the field OF ice.
Il was not believed, Witnessed the
final plunge of the vessel TO her
grave, two miles below the surface.
1t seemed certain today that they had
rowed in company as far off as pos
sible but the swirling waters must
have brought home at least to the
crew that the vessel had gone down.
The waiting in the dark and cold
may have cost the reason OF many OF
the women. Ii was believed today
that the fact that the Carpathia
which was the first on the scene, start
ed direct to New York as soon as she
had taken the unfortunates from the
life boats, indicated that many of the
survivors were in a very bad way.
She carried only one doctor and his
best efforts were needed to save the
reason OF the women who realized
that many of them were now alone
in the world.
The Detroit times., 1912-04-16

Men, women and children, many hys-
terical and Weeping, stormed the Of
does and yainly begged for word OF
lafomfort fegardfns tlfe fstte or then
loved ones.
Few got any satisfaction. For the
great majority all that the company
would say was that there had been
loss OF life, but they were hoping for
the best. To relatives of noted pas
sengers a private audience was grant
ed, and IL was quietly whispered that
the outlook was most serious. But
even they did not get all of the facts
which the company had in its posses
sion, and apparently 1t was able to
muzzle the wireless as messages sent
direct to ships on the scene were
held up while not a single word was
permitted to penetrate from the fog
bound banks of Newfoundland
where the worst tragedy of recent
years was being enacted.
Charges were freely made by rela-
tives of the missing that the com.
pany not alone withheld news OF the
disaster but that IL was responsible
for the messages OF comfort received
scStciuoy saying all OI tue passengers
had been rescued and the disabled
liner was being towed to port. But
the officials refused explanation. They
admitted they had known for some
hours before they made public an
nouncement that the Titanic had
foundered but they defended their ac-
ton by saying that until Capt Had.
dock OF the Olympic confirmed the
reports they had not felt justified in
alarming the people OF the nation.
When the first announcement was
made last night that the Titanic had
sunk and that there was probable
loss OF life" the Offices OF the line
were Immediately besieged by anxious
men and women all waiting for word
of comfort or assurance. To all the
statements was made that the Titanic
had roundered and that there was loss
OF life, but that no names were then
available.
The word reached many while they
were in the theaters and the restau-
rants and soon great automobiles and
vehicles OF all descriptions were roll
ing up TO the offices and discharging
their freight OF anxious humanity.

ReLahues And Friends
CIamor For Tdlngs

NEW YORK. April 1G.--New York
and the whole United States are ut
terly stunned by the weight of the
terrible disaster that followed %
loss Of the giant liner Titanic on her
maiden voyage. IL was hard to
realize that the latest creation OF
marine architecture, the great steam
ship which only yesterday when news
that she had been In collision was
received was proudly branded by her
owners as unsuitable" now lay be-
low the water OF the Atlantic on the
banks of Newfoundland and had
carried with her much OF the flower
of American and British manhood.
Not since the Inflated French
Liner Bourgoyne was rammed and
sent to the bottom with all OF her
company by the great iron freighter
Cromartyshire on July 2, 1898, have
such scenes been witnessed as were
enacted at the offices of the White
Star Line on lower Broadway
throughout the night and today.
The Detroit times., 1912-04-16

Soon the Offices were crowded and
the line had extended far out into the
street
Among the frst to reach the offices

son of Col John Jacob Astor. He
was worried but hopeful when he ar
rived and was admitted TO the private
Office OF vice-President Franklin. He
was accompanied by A. j. Biddle and
the representative of the Astor estate.
Half an hour later the young man
emerged weeping bitterly; waA assist

Sylvester Burns, private secretary
OF Isidor Straus, another victim, re-
mained at the Offices OF the line ali
