Tioga Point, Wash, Jan. S.-"Most
Of the men were in their berths when

ter Fred Peters, survivor of the Rose
Grams, who drifted to this place from
the scene of the wreck on plank, a

no sooner gotten to the top of the

me up like feather and carried me
clear to the opposite side Of the vessel,
which, because Of her list, was high in
the air.

fought and scrambled to get free Of
that inky black bunk cabin. | could
see a few Of them trying to drag them
selves up the companionway with n
dozen Others pulling them back before
the big wave that bore me away choked
the vessel with water from stem to
stern.
81 am sure the majority Of the men
never lived to reach the deck, and the
three who were taken from the rigging
must have been on the hurricane deck
when the crash came. The boys did
not shout or scream much There was
too much water choking them and they
were fighting too hard to get on deck.
Owing to an exceedingly rough bar

No BRIDGE FOR
THE LITTLE SANTIAM

For the seventh time the citizens of
Stringtown and Shelburn were COM
PEELED to return to their homes yester-
day afternoon without gaining satisfac-
tion from the Marion county court rel
ative to the petition for bridge across
the Santiam river near Stringtown.
For years the petitioners from the
south end of the county have been
seeking aid from the court in establish
ing bridge between the respective
towns across the wicked little Santam,
but nothing has been accomplished so
far Notwithstanding the diligent work
on the part Of the various delegations.
The court decided last night that
$4,000 was too much money to expend
for u bridge at the ponit in ques-
tion and that the number of settlers Is
not large enough to warrant such an
expenditure at this time. 1t is believed
by the court that steel bridge will
be necessary If any bridge is to be
constructed at ell, and Marion county's
share Of the expense will be in the
OF $4,000, while Linn
county will possibly be required to
expend in the neighborhood Of 100000.
Oratory flew right and left yester-
day afternoon when the Stringtown
and shelburn citizens appeared before
the commissioners to argue their case,
but the visitors were told to wait an
other year at least before attempting
to span the river.
