Conservative Estimates,

Los Angeles, Jan. 7.-"From San
Bernardino to Los Angeles every acre
of oranges and lemons has been
frozen"
This was the statement that came
tonight from Pomona center of one of
the heaviest producing sections of the
citrus fruit belt. Only a fifth of the
crop may be salvaged, it was also as
serted. If this be true, the total loss
on 100000 acres of fruit will amount
very close to $40.000,000.
More conservative estimates, how
ever, figure the total damage at 500
100000. Between five and eight mil
lions of this sum will be the loss to
railroads in curtailed freight receipts.

Something Wrong.

oofnethIng wrong.
Either there is gross incompetence
in the reportorial staff of the chief
clerk Of the house. or there Is n deter
minaton to juggle with the record so
far as the prOgcssiVcs are concerned
This was made apparent this morning
when the journal of the house was
read
For one thing, the record was made
To show that Iolicl, republican, re-
coivcd IS votes for speaker ana Grip

shows that Eliel received Is and Grip

Motions Not Mentioned.
For another thing. the journal alb
solutely ignored two of the most i'm
portant motions of the session, that
Of Carnal for an amendment to the
rules limiting the time which a com
mttce may hold bill to five legis-
lativc days, ana that of Amin for the
appointment of a committee on com
mttoos. Both of these motions were
made by progreasVcs, and both were
of tn" utmost importance, as going to
the very heart Of things in the or
aanization and conduct Of the house.
Both motions were in order and that
Of carnal was voted upon and defeat
a Iil "a, val
of order BY the speaker. The ruling
Was absurdly unfair, a statement that
is freely admitted here upon all sides.
At tomorrnW's session the progress
siVcs will move for a correction OF the
record as to the two important par
tiCulars noted,
1t was pretty generally known that
an arrangement had been effected be-
tween the progrcssivcS and the plat
form democrats in the house to amend
the report Of the committee on rules,
SO as to provide IA method to prevent
smotherng bills by a time limit for
their consideration by committe ecs.
Further, the agreement contemplated
that this motion should be made by
one of the platform democrats. If the
journal of the house should be per
mitted to stand as read today, and the
motion to amend the rules should be
made tomorrow as per the agreement
referred to. the permanent record Of
the house would show that the plat
form democrats and not the progress
siVes We're entitled to credit for the re-
form.
In this manner a showing ror an
element in the legislature would be
made to which in fact the progressive
element was really entitled

In the house this morning after the
swearing in of employees and the read

The speaker announced that news

OIL TANK STEAMER, THE HOO
DooED ROsECRANs, GOES
ASHORE IN COLUMBIA.
MOST OF CREW. DIES
Wind of Fifty-Five Miles an. Hour
Blows lil-Fated Vessel Onto Rocks
and Life Savers Are Unable to Ap-
Proach-Tanker Sinks and Only Four
Men Are Rescued.

Astoria, Ore, Jan THE oil tank
steamer Rosecrans, Captain L. F. John
son, from Monterey, Cal, to Portland,
while crossing into the columbia at
$50 o'clock this morning during a 55-
mile gale, ran aground on Peacock spit,
and was lost with over 80 of the SO
men on board
One man from the wrecked ship was
reported this afternoon as having been
washed ashore at Tigo, Wash, six
miles from the scene Of the wreck. and
the Point Adams life saving crew had
been on the scene of the wreck since
early morning, rescued three other men
this afternoon. The names of the res
cued are not available. The three men
rescued by the Point Adams crew had
taken refuge in the rigging of one of
the masts when the ship went down.
For many hours they clung there, the
waves breaking over them repeatedly.
This afternoon the wind decreased,
permitting the life-savers to reach the
men. Two of the men were taken from
their perch, while the third, who had
jumped into the sea when the lifeboat
neared the spot, was taken from the
water.
Fierce Wind.
The wind at the mouth Of the Colum-
bia river was blowing at the rate of
5J miles an hour from the southeast
when the ill-fated tanker essayed an
entrance and was hurled upon the dan
gerOuS rocks of Peacock point at the
same place where the steamer General
Washington went aground a year ago.
The weather was so thick that nothing
could be seen for hours Of the plight of
the ship and when her perilous posi-
tion could be seen, the tugs Goliath and
Ononta and the Candy and Point
Adams life-saving crews rushed TO
give what aid was possible.
When the tugs reached the neighbor-
hood of the tanker she was found to
be hard aground. The wrecked vessel
soon shifted and began to break up
and before the tugs and life savers
could get near enough to get line
aboard she slipped off the rocks and
sank until only her masts and the fun
mel appeared above the water, with
three men of the crew clinging to the
rigging.
The daring tugboat men and life
savers We're unable to reach the wreck
and when the tanker slipped off the
rocks into the boiling waters, not
human body was seen, except the three
men clinging to the rigging.

A Precedent.

"The power company and the depart
mont found that they could cooperate
cordially and effectively in fixing the
terms of a grant 50 as to recognize ef-
f"ctiv"ly both public aud private in
ter"sts and rights"
The grant, which is for so years, was
worked out under the act of March 1.
1911, relating to electrical transmits
sions, telephone and telegraph lines
Secretary Fisher said it should be "a
precedent which will have a reach
ing effect
The grant is subject to readjustmcnt
every 10 years, provides for regulation
OF rates and service, the sale Of power
to the United states, the state and cit
les at as low rate as is given any other
buyer and prohibits the transfer Of
the permit without the approval of the
secretary of the interior.

Power for Mines.

In addition to furnishing power for
electrification of part of the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad. the
Great Falls Power company also Will
deliver power to the mines at Butte
and Anaconda and to all other classes
Of consumers who can be served by
them. Interior department officials
expect that much of the power ulti-
mately will be used for pumping water
for land irrigation.
The amount of rental charged the
power company the first 10 years will
be nominal. Secretary Fisher said
he thought it should remain at a low
figure so long as the prices exacted
of power consumers are reasonable"

1870 STUDENTS HAVE RE-
TURNED TO A. AND NJ
The Faculty Committee Appointed on
Reinstaterents issues
Statement.

OF the 466 A. and NJ. College stu
dents who signed the statement de-
manding the reinstatement of the 27
cadets dismissed for hazing, and who
themselves were dismissed for insub-
ordination, 1870 are students of the in
stitution now When President Milner
announced that all cadets removing
their names from the petition by re-
treat on Sunday night, February 2.
would not be dismissed, there were 55
boys who scratched OF their names.
Since that time Is cadets, in round
numbers, have filed application for re-
instatement and have been granted
their plea. A committee composed of
the deans of the three minor faculties
and the commandant has been ap-
pointed by the general faculty to hear
these applications for reinstatement.
No effort is being made to get the
students to return to the school and
every boy who seeks readmission must
appear before this committee. The
leaders will not be permitted to re-
enter under any circumstances and
none of the rebellionists can enter un-
til they have pledged themselves to
respect the constituted authorities of
the school.
There are more than 400 boys on
the campus now, and that number is
growing rapidly.
OF the rs who have been reinstated.
IA are juniors, 22 sophomores and 80
freshmen,
The committee of the faculty has au-
thorized the following statement:
"Of the 466 students who signed the
so-called proclamation presented to
the faculty February l, 1918, SO with
drew their names before retreat Sun
day, and accordingly we're not dis
missed OF the All who were dis
missed February l, IS had been re-
admitted up to noon on February Z.
1T is not the intention of the fac
ulty to readmit the leaders of this
movement: but it is recognized that
the mere fact that a cadet was a men,
Der of the committee of his class does
not necessarily mean that he was
leader, and the committee in charge of
the readmission of students has been
instructed by the faculty to readmit
all who convince the committee that
they did not ask anyone to sign the
paper: that they did not make any
talk at any of the meetings in favor
OF the demands; that they did not
try to convince anyone that had not
already signed the paper that he
should sign it; that they are not in
favor of presenting any such demands
to the faculty in the future; that they
will not take part in any such move
ment in the future, and who will sign
the following pledge:
81 hereby certify that am not in
favor of making such demands as were
presented to the faculty February l,
1913.
Il promise on honor that so long
as I am cadet of the A. and NJ. Col
lege Of Texas, I will not engage in
hazing in any form; I will not be a
member of any secret student organi-
cation; l will not attend any meeting
of any class, or of any club or of the
corps of cadets, unless such meeting
has been previously authorized by the
president of the College"
