 sel Approaches Rect

Relating the story of how the was the first rescue vessel to ar rive at Vanderbilt Reef to assist the ill-fated Princess Sophia, Cap tain c. w. Stidman said his vessel steamed up within hailing distance of the wrecked ship about g o'clock on the morning of Oct. "A, wei comed as far as he could see by a large number of passengers waving their handkerchiefs, clapping their hands and cheering the ship 'and crew that had come to the rescue.
 Captain Stidham went on the witness stand yesterday afternoon shortly after o'clock, called in the present Limitation of liability" pro- ccedings by William Martin, Proc tor for claimants and respondents, He stated that he left Haines, which is AZ miles from Vanderbilt Reef about 4:45 q. m., after being called by the Quartermaster and informed that the Princess Sophia was on Vanderbilt Reef and going to pieces and that the Captain was putting out the life boats.'
 Arrived At 9 A. M.
 The Peterson reached the wreck at 9 o'clock, and as she approached the Princess Sophia, Captain Stid- man said that he could see a large number of passengers aboard walk ing up and down the decks, who gave visible signs of rejoicing when they sighted the Government boat. When he saw the Sophia she was awash on the reef, on an almost even keel, possibly having a slight list to port. She sat on the reef at an angle of about 2 points to- the wind with the life boats or the starboard side swung out.
 Told To Stand By
 The witness testified that heI steamed to within 125 or 150 yards of the Princess Sophia and, hailing Captain Locke asked him what heI wanted done. The latter replied that he wanted him to stand byl until the tide came in," at the same time motiOning to the reel. Cap tain Stidham said that he under stood that it was the intention Of the master of the Sophia to wait for high water to begin transferring the passengers. The Peterson then steamed away for a short distance and drifted and cruised in the neigh borhood of the reef for the rest of the day, until 8 p. m.
 Life Boat Lowered
 About 10 o'clock, or about an hour after the arrival of the Peter son. Captain Stidham said that he noticed boat being lowered from the Princess Sophia. The Peterson at this time was about a mile to the leeward He immediately steamed for the reef, thinking that Captain Locke was about to begin transferring passengers. The small boat was lowered to just above the wate rand held there for some time, then was lowered into the Water~t Five sailors got into the boat and apparently made sort sort Of an examination of the hull.

ings were continued until 1:30 D.. m. at which time Captain c. E.. Tibbits, of the Tug Harold C., was called to the stand His testimony was largely confined to weather conditions in Lynn Canal waters, which he said he had navigated on small boats for period of 20 years. He stated that weather conditions at that time of the year are uncer- tain, both southeastern and north. erly storms being encountered.
 He added that with his know ledge of the weather conditions, pre- vailing winds and of the Vanderbilt tempt to keep passengers aboard any vessel stranded on that reef, Anyone who has seen the reef at low water, he asserted knows that there is no such a thing as safe position on it for a ship. Captain Tibbits was followed on the stand by Ole Orsen, whose testimony was also regarding Lynn Canal weather conditions.
 Alice Going To Wreck
 Mrs. Myrtle Oswell, wife of Super intendent George Oswell of the ED her mine, was called to the stand She testified that she had secured reservations on the Princess Sophia scheduled to leave Juneau October 24 and was in Juneau on the morn ing o{ that day. After waiting nearly all day and listening to re. ports of the boat being stranded, and being informed by both General Agent Lowle, of the c. F. R. and his assistant, that is was hoped to float the Princess Sophia on the evening tide of that day, she went back to the mine with the understanding that she would be called in plenty of time to catch the boat if it was re- leased from the reef.
 Not hearing from MT. Lowle, on the following morning. she, the wit ness testified, that she had called up the c. P. R. office and was in formed that the Princess Alice was coming up to relieve the Princess Sophia's passengers and take on passengers who had purchased tick cts at Juneau. Shortly after the noon honr on the same day, Mrs. Oswell testified that she came to Juneau from the mine and went in person to the c. P. R. office where MT. Lowle stated that the Princess Alice was coming up and would go direct to the relief of the stranded ship, taking it's passengers aboard and return here for the Juneau passengers. On cross examination Mrs. Oswells story stood unshaken but in addition she stated that Mir Lowle was not sure as to the time the Princess Alice would arrive.

tracing more than ordinary atten-
ton as federal interests have taken

the advantages to be gained by in
telligent cooperation and the recla-
nation of lands by the conservation
of water.

quarters at Pocatello much attention
has been attracted to the Idaho coun-
try tho reclamation as a general con-
dition is attracting the attention of
congress.
The meeting at Boise held recent
ly, taken part in by men prominent
in the states of Utah, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon, has attracted
deal of attention particularly as
practical demonstrations Of what can
be done by reclamation are made.
The wonderful results achieved
turnout the upper Snake river valley
section of the country, the wonder
full Twin Falls country and the irri-
gated sections of the southwestern
part of Idaho have interested con-
gress, the members of that body
looking with favor on the matter of
federal appropriations to assist in
reclamation projects.

was too busy to stop and get the
honey just then, and they could cal
again.
They were good-natured little fel
lows and did not mind. but when they
called another time and Mr.. Fox gave
another excuse and no honey. they
made up their minds he did not intend
to give them anything for getting the
grapes.
One morning Mr.. Fox had his grape
wine all made and poured into bottles
which he placed in the window to cool
while he made his jelly. Billy and
Teddy saw the bottles and back home
they ran. When they returned they
brought a big jug filed with vinegar
and. emp wing the wine out of Mr.
Fox's bottles. they filled them with the
vinegar and off they ran.
Not long after when Mr.. Fox had
finished his jelly. he thought some cool
grape wine would taste good, so he
sat down by the window and. tipping
up the bottle, began to drink.
He took good. long, deep drink,
and then he dropped the bottle and
howled.
Teddy and Billy Bear had been
waiting to hear this noise and they
came running up to the window. Did
you call us Mr.. Fox?" they asked
very sweetly; tive thought you want
ed to give us the honey
But Mr.. Fox was jumping about on
his hind legs and holding his stomach
and making so much fuss he could not
answer.
"What is the matter, Mr.. Fox"
asked the mischievous little fellow;
"were those grapes sour like the ones
your neutrality-suspicious. did not
get?"
Mr.. Fox did not reply; he was far
too unhappy just then, but later, when
he felt better, he looked under the win
dow where the bottle stood and saw
on the ground big dark spot and he
wished he had been honest with Teddy
and Billy Bear and not treated them
SO badly.
