HORSE HEAVEN NOW
JUBILANT OVER CROPS
Wheat Said to Be Standing Rank
Throughout the Entire
District

The farmers in the Horse Heaven
district. says the Kennewick Reporter,
are jubilant over the crop prospect.
They claim that it is six years since
there has been as much moisture in
the hills, the result of unusually
heavy snow falls. The winds which
are sometimes prevalent during the
early spring, and draw the moisture
from the ground, have been absent
this spring and there has been much
cloudy weather, so that, with the use
of dry farming methods, the moisture
has been conserved.
Wheat Stands Rank
Wheat is standing rank throughout
the district, and many farmers pre-
dict yield of from % to 80 bushek
to the acre. The farms are for "a,
most part large, and any such yields
as this means prosperity for the
farmers even though they have had
several lean years. With the use of
the more modern methods of farming
in the dry section there is every rea-
son to believe that the Horse Heaven
district will in d few years be known
as one of the sure crop districts in the
state

TO THE TITANIC
Captain Lord of Steamship Cali
fornian Saw Big Liner Go
Down to Destruction
CLAIMS HIS VESSEL
WAS FAST IN ICE
Ernest Gill, Engineman on Cali

Been Rendered the Titanic and
That Lords Crew Were Willing

Titanic dashed full speed to destruc-
ton, according to Ernest Gill, donkey
englneman of the steamship Cali
fornan, Who testified today before the
senate committee investigat ting the
disaster. He said Captain Stanley
Lord of the Californian refused later
to go to the aid of the Titanic, the
rockets from which could be plainly
seen. This Lord denied, but both he
and the wireless operator testified
having seen the rockets Their ship,
they said, was fast in the ice.
Indignant at Captain
Gill submitted an affidavit and when
sworn, stuck to his charges against
the captain of the Californian. So in
dignant did he become. said Gill, over
the refusal of the captain to endeavor
to assist the Titanic that he endeav-
ored to recruit a committe of protest
from among the crow, but the men
failed him. Captain Lord entered a
sweeping denial to Gills accusation
and read the Californan's log in sup
port of his statements.
Cyril Evans, the Californian's WIRE
less operator however, told of having
heard much talk among the crew who
criticised the captains course. Gill
told him. he said, he expected to get
$500 for his story when the ship ar
rived in Boston.
Evans told of having warned the
Titanic only a short time before the
great vessel crashed into the iceberg
that the sea was crowded with ice.
The Titanic's operators, he said, were
at the time working with the wire
less station at Cape Race and they
told him to shut up and kept out
Within a half hour the pride of the
sea was crumpled and sinking

Summary of Testimony Before the
Investigating Committee Shows
Big Mistakes Made
POOR SEAMANSHIP IN
MIDST OF DANGER
Fact That Captain of Titanic
Rushed Ahead at Full Speed in
Midst of Great Ice6elds Main
Cause of Wreck

WASHINGTON. April 27-Failure
to give her exact position, great
field of ice that offered frigid barrier
to ships hurrying to the rescue and
the mistake of her captain in rushing
at top speed through an ice-covered
sea combined sent the Titanic and
her 1900 victims to a Watery grave in
the north Atlantic, according to testi-
mony today before the senate investi-
eating committee.
Great Stretch of Ice
Captain James H. Moore of the
steamer Mount Temple, which hur-
ried to the Titanic in response to calls
for help, told of the great stretch OF
ice which held him off Within his
view from the bridge he discerned
another steamer, probably tramp,
and "a schooner, which was making
her way out of the ice. The lights of
this schooner, he thought, We're prob
ably those seen by the anxious sur
vivors of the Titanic. Moore has
spent 81 Years in the north Atlantic
Whenever ice is found, he said, he
doubled the watch and reduced the
$. led. If he happened to get caught
he stopped the engines and drifted
until clear.
Titanic Reported a Mistake
Moore is emphatic in the assertion
that the position sent out by the
Titanic was wrong. He said the shir
was eight miles farther eastward than
the operators reported. This, he said
he proved by observations the first
thing on the day following the dis
aster. With icebergs floating and ice
covering the northern sea- a ship even
the size of the Titanic might well be
overlooked.
Ismay Feels Better
j. Bruce lsmay was much cheered
by the testimony this afternoon. He
listened eagerly to accounts of his
conduct at the lifeboats as told BY
stewards and seamen. His eyes fairly
beamed when Steward Crawford told
how Ismay had called for women tc
go into one of the boats and said to d
woman who told him she was "only d
stewardess.' that you are "a woman
so take your place in the boat
Steward Bright testified that IsmaS
had not left the ship until after al
the lifeboats had gone and only one
or two collapsible boats were left on
deck
