Seattle, Wash, Dec. 6.-The four
masted schooner ashore on Destruction
Island, off the Washington coast, has
been identified as the Aloha from the
FIJI Islands for Puget Sound. All hands
were saved.
Iu answer to a rocket sent up by the
crew, who were camped on Destruction
Island, the steamer Admiral Farragut,
of the Alaska Pacific company, which
arrived here this morning, stood by last
night, while a boat came off to send a
wireless message for tug.
The officer in charge of the boat, &c.
cording to officers of the Admiral Far
ragut, said the Aloha had sprung leak
during hurricane at sea and had be-
come waterlogged. When they neared
the entrance to Grays Harbor, there
was no tug in sight, and with falling
barometer, the captain decided to beach
her in a protected spot behind Destuc

Washington, Dec. 6.--Progressive
members of all parties met here today
to organize a national popular govern
ment league.
Secretary Of State Bryan presided
over the gathering. He declared the
conference stood firmly for an amend
ment making it easier to amend the
federal constitution. Jokers, Bryan de-
clared, were emasculating popular gov
ernment reforms.
The initiative, referendum and recall
and school civic centers also were dis
cussed.
Other speakers today were Senators
Owen, Of Oklahoma; Clapp, Of Mime
sofa; Poindexter, Of Washington, and
Lane, Of Oregon, and Frank Walsh, Of
Kansas City, and Herbert Quick.
Former Governor Folk, Of Missouri,
now connected with the state depart
ment, was scheduled to speak at to-
nights session.
Suffraglst Interrupts.
In the course Of his address, Bryan
declared for more flexible constitu'
tional amendment system and for hu
man justice.
Once Miss Helen Todd, Of San Fran
cisco, leadsr Of The suffrage 0sment
interrupted the speaker.
"How about justice for womenH'
sho demanded. you have talked jus
tice, but You have made no mention Of

Secretary Bryan, unabashed, ad
vanced until he faced Miss Todd.
''Madam," !" he answered, Gin all yo'

Miss Todd sat quietly thereafter bu

Stick to Valley
Lands With Cash
Fairy Tales About Big Shipping Har-
bors Should Not Lure Money
Away From This Region.

Giebisch & Joplin, of Portland, will
build the north jetty at the entrance
to Tillamook bay for $629, ,624 under
contract with the government. Major
Morrow, corps of engineers, U. S. A.,
was informed from Washington yes
terday that General Kingman, chief of
engineers, had approved the bid, which
was the lowest submitted and author
lied the execution of contract.
A short time will be required in
which to assemble equipment, and the
ietty project will be pushed without de-
lay. The general Improvement decided
on for Tillamook bay includes dredging
channel to Bay City. Taxpayers Of
the district are to share with the gov.
ernment in the total cost, which is es-
timated at $s14,OOO
Railroad Situation Bad.
Those who have invested in Bay City
property hope to get some Of their
money back when the channel is
dredged. However, Bay City sadly
lacks railroads, the commerce from the
immediate vicinity is light, and the
fact that fair-sized boats can enter af-
ter the work is completed will not help,
unless there is business there to handle.
With nasty range of mountains to be
crossed the situation is not encourag'
ing.
The Puget Sound region is thronged
with good harbors, but the principal
business goes to Tacoma and Seattle
because they have the railroad facili.
ties to carry commerce from all sec
tions Of the United States. Everett
and Bellingham have small amount Of
traffic, consisting largely Of lumber
business There are dozens Of little
ports which can accommodate deep sea
vessels that get little or no traffic, be
cause they lack railroad facilities.

Every Fresh Report Brings

Victims of Disaster.
MANY RESCUE AIDS
ARE AMONG MISSING
Over $50 Freezing and Nearly
Starved Sufferers Taken
From Trees.
IuN1rnn rnpas InAsnD wIRn.1

Bryan, Texts, Dec. 6.-Seventy-five
drownings in the Texas floods were ac-
counted for definitely today. Every
fresh report increased the death roll.
The latest fatalities included ten vic
tins at Hearne, six at Highbank and
eight here. Of the dead, half or more
were negroes.
Anxiety was felt, too, for a number
of residents, who, having volunteered
for rescue work, were missing today. 1t
was feared their boats had been over
turned by the rushing current and their
occupants drowned.
Taken From Tree tops.
In this vicinity several motor boats
were searching in the treetops for ref
ugees. More than $50 half freezing
and nearly starved sufferers were saved
thus.
Farmers, in many instances, sent
their families to places of safety, but
preferred to remain on their premises
themselves in the hope Of saving some
of their property.
The Brazos river was ten miles wide
today for a distance OF 100 miles and
was sweeping toward the gulf with ir'
resistable force. The water was begin
ming to recede, but IL was still 1S feet
deep in the business districts Of sever
al towns.
Wherever it was possible to resume
railroad traffic, provisions and clothing
were being shipped in to the sufferers
Many people lost everything they

Railroad Official Missing.
The search was still progressing, thu
far vainly, for the body Of Yice-Presi
dent Harry Martin, Of the Information

while rescuing marooned flood victim
at Valley Junction, was drowned b,
the upsetting Of his boat.
In the section swept by the hig'
water were state farms on which 25O
convicts were employed. They wer

Grave fears were expressed OF a
