While Waiting on Large Dock It's Rot

Swift River-l7 Bodies Recovered
and II Are Missing.

Buffalo, N Y.-Seventeen bodies and
a list Of II missing persons were
brought here by the medical examiner
from the scene Of Sunday night s disas-
ter at Eagle Park, on the west shore of
Grand Island, about 10 miles below Buff
falo, where more than 100 persons were
thrown into the Niagara river by the
collapse of an excursion dock.
The medical examiner, who examined
the wreckage at dawn, found that many
of the broken plank were rotten, and
that directly beneath the collapsed por-
ton of the structure there were no sup
porting piles.
The excursionists were members and
friends of Court Amherst lodge No. 232,
Foresters Of America, who were on their
annual outing.
The semi-darkness, the 1O-mile current
of the river at that point, the confusion
and swiftness of it all served to cover
up for time the swiftness Of the catas-
trophe.
Up to nightfall, II bodies had been
recovered, and there was a list of IL
more who were known to have been at
the park. and had not yet been account
ed for.

MANY ACRES VACANT.
Large Territory in Walla Walla District
Waiting to Be Filled Up.

In the Walla Walla (Wash.) district
212,9O6 acres of land are waiting to
be filed upon by homesteaders, accord
ing to the annual statement prepared by
Register John H. Mcdonald of the land
office there.
These figures were collected year
ago and the figures, which will be pre-
pared in few weeks and forwarded to
Washington, d. c., will show only
about 10000 acres less, he states.
There have been great many entries
made by homesteaders in the last year,
but many of these were on relinquish
ments and, in addition, for nearly all
the entries there have been cancella-
tions. The books of the local Office
show 1856 general homestead entries
and 81 under the enlarged homestead
act.
The recently passed law permitting
proof on land to be made after three
years. residence and allowing home
steaders to remain away FIVE months,
may increase the entries. The lands
available, however, are in many in
stances not very valuable, though on
some living may be made under the
new conditions. Some of the land is
sandy or rocky, while other parts of the
district are mountainous and the land
is fit for grazing only.
The amount available in the different
counties is given as:
Adams, 1926 Asotin, 6s,349; Benton,
35,933; Columbia, 1860; Franklin, 35-
sos; Garfield, sO35; Klickitat, 1856;

Chicago.-Denouncing the Roosevelt
members Of the credentials committee
as Chars "gutter workers" and
"partisans, the majority members of
that committee Saturday answered the
attack upon them made public the pre-
vious night by r. r. Mccormick of

The answer was in the form of a
statement drawn up by the committee
of Eve, Devine of Colorado, Eastabrook
of New Hampshire, Landstrum of Mon
tana, Malby Of New York and Mondell
of Wyoming.
This action followed a session in
which charges of "liaro were hurled
back and forth, and in which the Roose
welt men were accused of following
orders and ignoring their own judg'
ment on contested delegate cases.
The Mccormick statement charged
that a "coalition had been formed to
seat all of the contested Taft delegates
without regard to facts presented.

U. s. GOODS TO CHINESE PORT
Sales Of American Goods in Last Year
Greater Than Ever Before.

Sales Of American Goods In Last Year
Greater Than Ever Before.
The total trade Of Hongkong with the
United States in 1911 increased i'm
mensely over that of 1910 and all pre-
vious recent years, due to the extra
ordinary imports. Hongkong's exports
to the United States, including Hawaii,
showed but slight decrease compared
with 1910 and were in excess Of those
of 1909, according to the United States
consular reports.
The balance of trade was in favor Of
the United States by about $4,5O0,0 900
gold. American exports amounted to
about $s,5OO,OOO gold and Hongkong s
exports to the United States to sub
stantially 100000 gold. However,
Canton IS exports to the United States,
aggregating about $7,O0O,OOO gold, with
substantially no imports except through
Hongkong, made the net balance Of
trade in this part of China about $780,.
900 against the United States as com.
pared with balance against the United
States of perhaps $5,OOO,OOO in 1910.
There was heavy movement OF
money from Chinese and others in the
United States to correspondents in and
near Hongkong. Local bankers esti
mated the total valuation Of drafts sent
from the United States at 100000, 0OC
silver, or about $42, 100000 gold. This
sum covers the balance of trade and also
the savings of Chinese in the United
States, including remittances for specu
lation in silver exchange.

formal step was taken. Governor
johnson Of California was empowered

who took conspicuous part in the cam

The attitude of Governor Hadley of
Missouri was the chief point of discus

town without waiting to declare him

No definite idea of the plan to be
followed could be obtained, and it was
said several weeks might elapse before
the program is decided upon. Gov

as field marshal, and in cooperation
with Colonel Roosevelt will decide up

Wenatchee, Wash.-Another row of
shacks in this city was destroyed by fire
Sunday, and for several minutes there
was much danger that several of the
more substantial buildings would be
taken in the confagration. The fire
broke out in the frame building occu-

the first department could arrive the
building was in flames.
The buildings burned involved a loss
of $375,O0O, with their contents, mostly
covered by insurance.
The Wenatchee department store suf-
