AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.

DR.. e. M. Butler, OF Los Angeles, ar
rived in Oroville the latter part of last
wee ~. nding sevt raj days IA town.
He can up here to straighten cut
some business matters. DR.. Butler Is a
prominent resident of the big southern
ltAli;ornia city, ha".n!, served tS.ee
terms as state senator. He had the mis-
fol;u to be passenger on the III
ed steamer Congress that was de-
strOyed by fire off the Oregon coast
some two weeks ago. The Doctor said
that if he had known in advance what
was to happen to the ship he would
have travelled by rail, but now that 1t
is over he is rather pleased with the
Experience, although like all the other
passengers he lost his baggage. He
states that there was no evidence OF
panic among the passengers when the
fire was discovered and it was found
the ship was doomed He attributes
the absence of panic TO two things:
The GOODNESS of the captain and crew
and the fact that the passenger list
was made up of Americans and Cana
dams, who are not prone to be easily
ALARMED. The crew worked with the Or
der and precision of soldiers, carrying
out every order without haste or con-
fusion. When it was seen that the YES
lsel was doomed the women and chill
dren were loaded in the ships boats
and were lowered into the sea and the
men followed down the rope ladders.
The boats were pulled to the dredger
Mitchie, that stood by to rescue the
passengers and crew of the Congress,
and every person on the vessel was
saved without injury. They were sub
sequently landed at Marshficld, Oregon
and from there continued to their
various destinations by rail.

in the United States and probably in good
of those printed in other countries. But it is

few who see it in a newspaper headline forbear
read the article that follows.
A good many of those who have only the
high points in General Funstons career
been inclined to regard him soldier of fortune,
a mere adventurer who has come to his present
allied station through series of lucky accidents.
Nothing could be further from the truth, for
in American history has been consistent
and logical Coming to his majority at time when
his distinguished father, Hon. e. H. Funston,
chairman of the Committee of Agriculture in the

natural that when the Department wanted samples
of the flora of the Alaskan coast, it should send
Funston to get them. And once more it only
natural that having performed this latest task to
the satisfaction of his superors he should be sent
into interior Alaska to bring back samples of the
things he found growing within the Arctic Circle.
