FEARFUL MARINE DISASTER.

The greatest steamship in the world
the Titanic, struck an iceberg at 1925
Sunday night off the Newfoundland
banks and sank four hours later in
mid-ocean. Wireless calls for help
from the laundering vessel brought
the steamer Carpathia to the scene too
late to render aid to the ship but in
time to pick up the Sos of the surviv-
ors Who were put off in the twety life
boats carried on the Titanic. 1t Is es-
timated that 1912 passengers and crew
went down with the Titanic.
The Titanic, sister ship OF the
Olympic, both belonging to the White
Star line, had just been completed at
a cost of $1O,OO0,0O0 and was on its
maiden voyage from Southampton
England, to New York. 1t had on
board 1920 passengers and a crew or
$50. Latest reports state that prac-
tically all of the women and children
ON beard were saved, the men stand
ing sside and permitting the women
and children to be lowered into the
life boats. Many prominent persons
are believed to have lost their lives on
the sunken steamer, among whom
were Maj Archibald Butt. aide to Pres
ident Taft; VIM. T. Steed, we'll known
author and journalist; Col. John ia
cob Aster, returning with his bride,
formerly Madeline Force who was
saved Benjamin Guggenheim, son OF
the founder of the smelter trust and
director in several big concerns; Fred
ID. Mlllet. prominent New York artist,
and Isador Straus, wealthy merchant
and philanthropist of New York.
Tho Wrnpxiny Of the Titanic Ia the
worst sea disaster in history, both IN
loss of life and value OF property de-
stroyed.
The Titanic was the greatest ship
ever built. It's length was SS2 feet
inches, beam 90 feet 6 inches, had
four immense tunnels extending S1H
feet above the highest deck or 175
feet from top of tunnels to keel. The
ship had eleven decks and total pas
senger capacity of $500. It's furnish
ings and arrangements were the most
elaborate and magnificent ever de-
signed for an ocean liner.
Besides the value of the ship. 1t Is
estimated that $5,000,OO0 worth of dia-
monds were lost besides untold
wealth in securities and registered
mail in transit The owners of the
vessel will probably recover $7,500,O00
insurance.
The survivors were picked up by the
steamer Carpathia after they had
tirffted irr. small open boats for eight
hours. Many were in serious con-
ditiOn because of the exposure. The
Car;,athia steamed directly for New
YORK and was expected to arrive there
Thursday, four days after the wreck.

NOTES FROM NIGHTHAWK,

The warm rains of the 9th, 10th
and 11th have insured beyond a doubt
full crops of all kinds in the Similka-
meen valley and the Nighthawk
netshborhoOd. Since the rain vege
tation is shooting up as though pushed
out o: the ground
Manager Knauff is steadily increas-
ing his force at the Phoenix mine. and
Is now owrking a large crew in the
mine and on the tram.
w. G. Jones. the popular Nighthawk
and Loomis merchant, left for Spokane
last Friday night to visit with his wife
and family, and at the same time to
purchase a supply for his different
stores.
Prof. Wilton. of Loomis, had a very
narrow escape last Sunday evening on
his way from Oroville to Nighthawk.
While crossing the Similkameen river
below the railroad bridge short dis
tance west of OrOville, at what is
known as Box canyon, his horse got
into one OF the deep holes that are fire.
quent at that point on the river, some
OF great depth. The professor had a
very narrow escape from drowning,
and was lucky in getting off with
ducking. He did not have dry stitch
on when he reached Nighthawk. He
hardly realized the narrow escape he
had. He was lucky second time to
fall into the hands of the kind and
hospitable Mrs. Z. F. McNall, who
wined and dined and gave him on OPP
portunity to dry himself In the morn
ing Prof Wilton showed no signs of
his perilous experience.
That genial old socialist, J. NJ. Nc
Kinney, better known as Gum Nc
Kinney, returned to Nighthawk a short
time ago after having spent the winter
at Walla Walla, Dayton and Portland,
where he went in hopes of building
up his shattered health. Mr. McKin-
ney experienced some hard times
in Washington and Oregon in early
days. especially during the Indian out
breaks. He was all through the
Rogue river campaign. and for his
services in the wars draws pension,
but one altogether too small for the
services rendered.

A NEW DEPARTMENT.

In the near future new depart

Negotiations have just been closed
whereby this paper secures the exclu-
sive publication right in this part OF
the state for a series of articles deal
ing with horticulture written by the
best informed writer's on that subject

growing industry in this part of the
state is such as to make this depart

these articles much valuable informa-

those engaged in the vocation. The
first of the articles will be published
some time-~during the present month,
after which other articles on the sub

GOOD ROADS DAY.

Very often gubernatOrial prOcla-
nation designating a certain date as
a holiday for special purpose meets
with only perfunctory observance on
the part of the bulk of the popula-
tion, but it was different in the case of
the good roads proclamation, suggest
ing that Friday, April 12, be set aside
as a day to be devoted TO work on pub
lie roads. If the day was observed as
generally over the state as 1t was in
and around Oroville, and as much road
improvement accomplished, then the
aggregate labor performed on the
highways of the state was enormous,
and the good accomplished beyond COM
putation. People entered enthusiast
tically into the spirit OF the occasion,
and no men paid wage for road work
ever put in more strenuous hours, or
applied themselves more faithfully to
the job. People who probably never
before handled a pick and shovel on
public road worked shoulder to should
er with those who understood the
handling of those tools. and displayed
a most praiseworthy zeal in trying to
maize their efforts count The proc
lamation was a happy thought on the
part OF the governor, and the response
on the part OF the people was spon-
tancous and generous.
As preliminary to the raid on the
roads a good roads meeting was held
in Cummings hall last Thursday even
ing, which was we'll attended. After
the meeting had been called to order
by Mayor Reese. Fred. ]. Fine was
chosen chairman and NJ c. Jackman

length. Four captains were elected to
supervise work and were assigned dis
tricts. care being taken to chose own
