THIRTY MINUTES AFTER HIT.
TING REEF IN FOG,

TO RADIO SIGNALS,
Western Newspaper Union News Service }

Eureka, Calif.-Forty-e eight persons,
thirty-six passengers and twelve of
the crew, We're lost when the steamer
Alaska of the San Francisco and Port
land Steamship Company, southbound
from Portland, Ore, to San Francisco,
sank thirty minutes after crashing
into the rocks of Blunts reef, forty
miles south of this city.
The survivors, numbering 166 per-
sons, were brought here by the rescue
ship AnyoX, the first vessel to reach
the scene of the wreck in response to
the Alaska's radio signals. The coast
guard tug Ranger, dispatched from
Eureka, returned to port with the bod
les Of twelve men. Eight We're mem
bers of the crew and four were pas
sengers. Capt. Harry Hobey, master
of the Alaska, is still unaccOunted for
and is believed to have gone down
with his ship.
OF the survivors landed by the Any
OK, thirty were seriously injured and
received medical treatment at the To-
cal hospitals.
The Alaska struck the reef bow on

The work of launching the lifeboats
was accomplished without delay or
disorder. Three of the boats success
fully rode the waves, but the fourth
boat capsized and precipitated its oc-
cupants into the sea. The greatest
loss of life. the survivors said, result
ed from this mishap. A few who wore
life belts succeeded in keeping afloat
until the boats of the Anyox picked
them up.
Thomas Johnston of Brooklyn, n.
Y, was drowned and his wife rescued,
though injured. Owen Terin and his
wife of Indianapolis were saved,
slightly injured. OF the twelve bodies
recovered four have been identified as
passengers and eight as officers and
crew.
According to the stories of the sur
vivors, the last lifeboat was but few
feet from the wreck when the Alaska,
which had listed to starboard, sudden
ly righted and then plunged bow first

passenger and the captain, We're the

steamer AnyON. towing Il barge to Van

Within an hour the AnyOX arrived

high praise from the survivors, the
crew of the Anyox speedily picked up

and women. Again, like men, "some
are born great, others achieve great
ness and others have greatness thrust
upon them" A nation which has no
memory of Its departed great is in
bad way. So also is that nation which
mas no thought of its historic land
marks. And how often is that historic
landmark a tree
Anyway, the American Forestry as
sociation Of Washington is compiling
who's Who" of trees in America
and people all over the country are
nominating Worthwhile trees for a
Hall of Fame for Trees. The move
ment is popular. 1t should be. Many
tree has associations worth preserv-
Ing for posterity.
If tree can be said to be born
great, here Is one. 1t Is the Stratford-
on-Avon oak in Central park, New
Fame by Miss Viola Overman. This
treeling was sent to Walter Hines
Page, when he was ambassador to the
Court of st. James, by the mayor of
historic Stratford. 1t was forwarded
to the Shakespeare Garden committee
Of Central park and planted, with
appropriate ceremonies.
OF course, the finest example of
achieved greatness is the Gen. Sher-
man sequoia in Sequoia National park,
California. 1t is the biggest and old
est living thing on earth. 1t is 36.5
feet In diameter and 279.9 feet high.
1t is more than 1000 years old. A
tree that has achieved greatness of a
different kind is the Carbondale (Pa.)
elm, nominated by E. NJ. Peck 1t is
believed to be the most perfectly pro-
pOrtiOned elm tree In the United
States.
A tree that had greatness thrust
upon it-or at least notoriety-was
the giant cottonwood that stood In the
middle of the street in Pueblo. Colo.
until 1t was cut down In 1888. It's
age was estimated at $50 years; its
circumference was % feet. Beneath
this tree the first white woman who
died In Colorado was buried. Thirty
six people were massacred by Indians
under 1t. Fourteen men were hanged
on its branches.
Many of our historic trees are dead:
more's the pity. For the Old Mulberry
tree at st. Mary's, Md, the claim is
made that it was the most famous tree
In the colonies. The claim will be
disputed by many. particularly by the
friends of the great trees on Boston
common, which saw so much history
written. Both trees fell in 1876, one
hundred years after the Declaration
OF Independence. All the history of
Maryland is written around the Old
Mulberry, for 1t was there Lord Cal
vert landed and 1t was for years the
site of the capital of Maryland. The
old Mulberry tree is nominated by
Mrs Della Harris Maddox, who has
written a poem about the famous tree.
or the historic Boston common It
has been written: Probably no 9TH
er spot in the United States has seen
so many thousands Of men recruited
for military service or SO many
millions of dollars contributed for the
cause Of human liberty" None of the
trees on the common today is of pri-
meval origin. All have been planted.
