Swedish Bark Sunk B..
In the North Sea, the Swedish
bark Roosvall met the same fate,
but the loss of life was smaller.
Two of the crew were drowned
and the others saved.
Z The, British steamship Argyll
shire, bound to Liverpool from
Sydney, was pursued by a sub
marine OFF the Scilly Isles and
sent out wireless call for help.
The message was misunderstood
and at first it was thought that
the vessel had been sunk, but last
night she put into Havre, France,
under her own power.
German Torpedoes Evaded
By steering a zig-zag course at
top speed, the captain was able
to dodge the torpedoes launched
at him. He did not dare try to
make an English port but fled
across the channel to France.
The same submarine, or an
other haunting the same waters,
attacked the British steamship
Cadeby both with torpedoes
and gun-6re. While the ship was
sinking, the submarine opened up
with her surface rapid-6rer. -Four
passengers and the entire crew

ANOTHER GREAT RESOURCE.
More Evidence of Odorless Natural
Gas Discovered in Polk County.

Last Tuesdays Portland Journal
contained the following from its Dal-
las correspondent relative to the gas
on the Cass Riggs farm, and while
there's nothing startling in the an
nouncement it is republished for the
information Of those capitalists look
ing for opportunities who have but
recently located in our midst:
"For years evidences of oil or nat
ural gas have been found in various
parts of Polk county, but only one or
two attempts have been made to de-
velep the prospects, and these have
failed for lack of financial support.
One of the best prospects of this kind
in the county is on the farm of Cass
Riggs, pioneer of the county, near
the Crowley schoolhouse, about five
miles north of Rickreall. Some 25
years ago, when he drilled well on
the farm, Mr.. Riggs noticed slight
showing of gas, but no attention was
paid to it.
Recently, however, a gasoline en-
gine has been installed to pump the
water, and when this is done in large
quantities the flow of gas becomes
quite strong, and when a match is APP
piled to the nozzle of hose connect
ed with the pump it spouts jet of
flame for distance of several feet.
The weight of the water in the tub
ing of the well evidently keeps the
gas in check. A peculiar feature of
the gas is that it is entirely odorless.
The water which comes from the well
is of decidedly salty nature, which
is said by experienced men to be a
good indication of oil or gas. The
well is 167 feet deep and the flow of
gas apparently comes from the bottom
of the shaft. -

POLK COUNTY LIVESTOCK WINS
Walter j. Domes OF Mccoy Carries
Many Prizes From Fair.

In the livestock exhibition at San
Francisco last week many Oregon
breeders were represented with the
selection of their herds. In the Ayre-
shire class there were many beautiful
animals entered. elise of Seattle, a
noted exhibitor of prize-winning
Ayreshires, had his finest stock en-
tered. The judge, who is famous over
the United States, told the audience
and the owners of the Ayreshires that
he had never seen a single exhibitor
trot out so many fine animals as those
shown by elise. He even said that
another breeder could not make such
an exhibition. But the judge evident
ly spoke a bit too soon, as he hadn I
judged the bull calf exhibited by Wal
ter j. Domes of Mccoy. In this class
Mr.. Domes took first prize for senior
bull calf; ninth prize in the same en-
try; second prize for a yearling bull
fourth in the senior heifer class; third
and fourth for his aged herd; third
for his young herd; third for his calf
herd and third eighth and ninth for
his produce of COW. Oregon took all
but two ribbons on Jerseys in compe-
tition with California and Washington
and Of the prizes Polk county took
more than her share.
