Shakespeare Cliff when an explosion
shook her from end to end. She listed
Immediately to port.
High seas were running and the
captain, realizing that great damage
had been done to the after part of his
vessel, tried to run her aground, but
the engine room was swamped and the
ship became unmanageahle.
The plight of the vessel was OBJ
served and dozens of craft went at full
speed to her rescue. 1t was one of
these, the Epmress of Fort William,
of 2181 tons, that sank.
Boat after boat and seven RATS were
sent away, but several persons leaped
into the water and were picked up by
surrounding craft. 1t was at first
thought that all had been saved, but
later bodies were washed ashore and
their number was gradually added to
during the day.
Owing to the fact that Dover is un-
der strict military law, it was possi-
BILE to obtain only meager details from
those rescued The captain said that
both passengers and crew behaved
splendidly.
The passengers were for the most
part British officials in the Indian
service, the most prominent being
Judge Oldfield, of the Indian high
court. They were returning to serv-
ice in the East.

Wool Growers Find Good
Market by Shipping to Portland

Portland-With wool contracting for
the 1916 clip just starting in the East
ern counties, the last remnant of the
1915 clip is being sold here. The
Portland Wool Warehouse company has
not over 40, 900 pounds in its ware
house on Municipal Dock No. l, and
that is all the wool that is left in Port
land.
The bulk of these wools were
sold at from 81 cents to 22a cents for
fine and 26 to 80 cents for coarse wool,
according to condition and shrinkage.
"The prices realized" said W. L.
Grove, manager of the company, "are
from cents to cents better than
were offered in the country for the
same wools. The growers are more
than satisfied with their experiment
of sending their wools here to be mar
keted, and it is safe to say a much
larger quantity will be sent here dur
ing the coming season.
"We have sold wool to about IL diff
ferent customers, a dozen of whom
never operated in this section before.
We have had inquiries from a dozen
other big Eastern mills, and although
we did not close deals with them we
are looking forward to their trade in
new woods.
Sour object is to improve the condi-
tion of the woolgrowers and put
them all on an equal basis. By avail
ing himself of cheap money, which he
could never do before, the grower is
enabled to hold his wool until he is
ready to sell. All the wool consigned
here is sold only with the approval of
the growers. 1t is different when the
wool is consigned to the East, for it
then gets beyond the owners control. :"

A Projecting Personality.

The Ford peace trip, besides adding
somewhat to the gaiety Of nations, Of
fered to the pictorial satirists in many
quarters of the world an opportunity
of a lifetime. Two rather distant
echoes of the junket appear in the
March number of Cartoons Magazine.
One is from the Christiana, Norway
Vikingen, and represents the Detroit
idealist as a rat leaving doomed
ship. A touch of humor is added to
the cartoon by reason of a bathing
suit hung on clothes line in the bow
of the boat. The bathing suit is sup
posed to be the property of Nine.
Schimmer
The other cartoon is from the Auck-
land, New Zealand, Weekly News, and
shows "Ford's ark" blowing across the
seas. Placards reading "Buy our
cars" and Votes for women" are con-
spicuously displayed upon the sides
and roof Of the craft while Ford is seen
trying to launch the dove of peace,
and asking it, "Why don't you fly?"
This Auckland newspaper, like most
of the English journals, seemed to re-
gard the peace trip mostly in the light
Of an advertising campaign.

Pekin Admits Rebels Defeated
Government Troops at S1e-huen

Pekin-Official acknowledgement OF
the defeat of government troops by
the Yunnan rebels on the Sze-Chuer
border was withheld until Saturday,
when the State department issued q
mandate denouncing Tai 40, in which
admission is made that the revolu.
tionists surprised the regular army and
defeated small garrison.
Information received in Pekin from
non-Chinese sources shows that the
Yunnanese, who descended on the city
of Suifu and captured it, numbered
about 10000. The government gar
rison at Suifu numbered about 1000,
but these troops left for the north sew
eral days before the arrival of the
Yunnanese and consequently there waf
no resistance to the entrance of the
latter The fleeing government forces
are reported to have started north for
Tze-Chow.

The Housemaid.

The housemaid wears short skirts,
which leads us to believe that the dis
ease called "housemaids knee" must
be very becoming. The housemaid
goes around the house very quietly.
not even disturbing the dust.
The housemaid's duty is to pick
things up--which she does very quick
ly. BY the time she has picked up
3S hairpins, four combs and barette
or two and has emptied nine badly
crushed cigars from the ash receiver
the news of the engagement does not
strike her in the nature of a shock.
The housemaid likes to read vapid
fiction, see empty plays and talk scan
dal. In fact, in nine cases out of ten
she is in no way superior to her mis-
tress.-Judge.

THE GIRL WITH A
CLEAR SKIN WINS

If you, too, are embarrassed by a
pimply, blotchy, unsightly complexion,
just try Resinol Soap regularly for
week and see if 1t does not make
blessed difference in your skin. In
severe cases little Resinol Ointment
should also be used. Resinol Soap
helps to make red, rough hands and
arms soft and white, and to keep the
hair healthy and free from dandruff.
Resinol Soap contains no free alkali.
Sold by all druggists.

IN ENGLISH CHANNEL; 147 Die

Dover, Eng.-The steamship Maloja,
IL, 431-ton vessel belonging to the
Peninsular & Oriental line, struck a

Life.

What is life? 1t is supposed to be
something that most people value
highly, yet few there are who are will
ing to preserve it. For example, ev-
eryone talks about methods of attain
ing long life, yet no one cares to
practice them. The commonest rules
of health are constantly violated by
the great majority. Doctors know this
and rarely, IL ever, advise their pa
tients how to live, but give them med
icine to tide them over some tempor-
ary setback.
Life has been called an illusion, q
dream, bubble, a curtain raiser and
a forgetting. In reality, it is merely
something that no man wants to part
from too suddenly, but which he will
always sell on. the installment plan
to the highest bidder. The soldier
CANDLES with the state for the price
Of his life. the immigrant with the

to avoid.
