The Fable Of The Champion Fudge
Maker.

Once upon a time in a thriving
little hamlet just far enough
distance from a regular city to
acquire all the big town crazes,"
there dwelt with her immediate
ancestors a comely maiden OF
doubtful summers. The house
hold of which she was the orna-
ment was perfectly organized in
two seperate and distinct divi-
sions-the producing and the
expanding. The parents, the
male portion Of whom was q con-
tractor, had the responsibility
Of providing, while the daughter
searched. hunted and sought
for ways'to exhaust the accumu-
lations. If the old man put a
roof on someone's barn, the
daughter at once had a new roof
over her auburn hair. A new
floor in a neighbours kitchen
meant a new pair Of boots that
laced up the back, for the daught-
er, while a new house, the con-
tract for which had been award
ed to the paternal end of this
family, meant an entirely new
wardrobe for our heroine,
Of course, the lass never paid
any attention to household du-
ties. She had a mother for such
things, while she delighted the
beaux of the community with her
chatting dishes. She sure was
there when it came to making
rarebits of any kind, while her
Judges were just simply heaven.

CHICAGO, July 26-The first actual
steps toward fixing responsibility for
the overturning and sinking of the
Eastland with the loss of over a thou
sand lives was taken this afternoon.
While thousands of dollars poured
into the funds being raised for the re-
lief of the stricken families of the
victims, and divers were still search
ing the waters of the Chicago river and
the hull of the steamer for bodies,
State Attorney Hoyne called Charles
H. Westcott of Detroit before the coun-
ty grand jury Westcott is the super
vising federal inspector who issued the
license permitting the Eastland to
carry twenty-five hundred passengers.
Hoyne maintains that neglect on the
part Of the inspectors is responsible
for the disaster. He is prepared, he
said, to present evidence showing that
the Eastland was considered unsafe
by government inspectors
Federal agents here received a tel /
egram from Attorney General Gregory
instructing them to make a thorough
of the catastrophe, and
to determine whether the United
States law was violated.

aided by city and county authorities

new VARIETY OF
OATS DISCOVERED
SAMPLES INDICATE THAT YIELDS
MAY RUN TO SEVERAL HUNDRED
BUSHELS PER ACRE
Giant Grain Grown on the Mason Corn
wall Ranch on Burnt Ridge-Sent to
Washington for Identification

Samples of oats that promise to out
do the highest hopes of growers of
the famous Juliaetta wheat, were
shown in Moscow today. Three heads.
one fourteen inches long and carrying
probably three hundred kernels, were
exhibited in Moscow today as samples
of some six-foot grain found on the
Mason Cornwall ranch on Burnt Ridge
south of Troy.
1T is the opinion of many experienc-
ed grain growers and buyers that a
new variety of oats has been found
and basing their estimates on the sam
pie heads shown, many have express
ed the opinion that yields of from two
hundred and fifty to four hundred bu-
shells per acre would be obtained from
a field in which the new oats grew as
thickly as ordinary grain does.
No one in town or at the University
has been able to identify the oats as
4 known variety, and a sample has
been sent to the department of agri-
culture at Washington for examina-
ion. 1t is said to resemble the Lin
:oln variety slightly. The heads ta-
zen for samples are still in the bios |
ON, and it is not possible to judge
hem as accurately as it will be when
hey have developed further.

search is being made for a man. who
under the name of Johnson, sold to E.
}. Sheldon Ford car, which proved
to have been stolen from Rogers e.
Rogers OF Spokane on the evening of
July 18th.
Claiming that he had just come
through from Illinois with his family
and that they had gone on to their
destination while he stopped here TO
dispose OF the car, Johnson had about
concluded a deal with another party
before the car was sold to Sheldon.
The first deal fell through when the
prospective purchaser was unable to
get satisfactory evidence of Johnsons
authority to give a bill of sale to the
car
Chief of Police Robbins has been on
the lookout for the Rogers car for
some time, and had given its number
to the employees at the local garages.
When Sheldon brought the car into the
garage, its number was found to cor
respond with that of the one stolen in
Spokane, but by that time the man
from whom he had purchased it had
departed
1t is probable that Johnson did not
come into possession of the car with
out some knowledge of it's having been
stolen, for he had evidently made the
bogus Illinois license tag himself. In
one place he had three LIS instead of
III, and when his attention was call
I'd to it, he remarked that he had made
l mistake, and Immediately set about
altering it with his knife.
The owner of the car was expected

Three Found Alive

A thrill passed through the crowd
as word came from the steamer that
a girl baby had been found alive
among the hundreds of dead in the
ship. The child was discovered in a
starboard stateroom where she had
been held from the water by chair
that jammed against the berth. The
baby only half awakened as it was
carried to land. It's mother could
not be found.
Two women we're found alive in
another stateroom on the protruding
side of the Eastland, but that ended
the hopes that any number had es
capped death in the death trap itself
There were still at least 800 persons
in the hold when these three persons
were taken out alive, and the explor
ers of the hulk said that all were
dead.

Ship Sank at the Dock

When ropes were cast off, and with
the assistance of a tug it began To
warp away from the dock, the heavily
laden ship wavered sidewise, leaning
first toward the river bank. The lurch
was so startling that many passengers
joined the large group already on the
other side of the decks.
The ship then heeled back. 1t
turned slowly but steadily towards its
left side. The whole cargo was i'm
PEELED towards the falling side of the
ship. Water began to enter lower
portfolios, and the ropes snapped Off
the piles to which the vessel was tied.
For nearly five minutes the ship
turned before it finally dived under
the swift current of the river, which,
owing to the drainage canal, flows
from the lake. During the turning
of the ship with it's cargo of humanity,
,lifeboats, chairs and other loose ap-
purtenances on the decks slipped
down the sloping floors, crushing th
passengers toward the rising waters.
Then there was plunge, with a
sigh of air escaping from the hold,
with the cries of children
and shrieks of women, and the ship
was on the bottom of the river, cast
ing hundreds of its passengers into
the water.

Many Did Not Rise

Many sank entangled with clothing
and bundles and did not rise, but
scores came to the surface. Many
seized floating chair and other objects.
Those ON shore threw our ropes and
dragged in those who could hold their
lifelines. Employees of commission
firms along the river threw crates,
boxes, chicken coops and other float
able things into the current, but most
of these were swept away by the
stream.
Boats were put out, tugs rushed to
the scene with shieking whistles and
many men snatched off their coats
and sprang into the river to aid the
drowning. With thousands of spec
tators ready to aid and the wharf
within grasp, hundreds went to death
despite every effort at rescue.
