EUREKA, Cal, Aug. 8. Forty
eight lives were lost when the steam
ship Alaska struck on Blunt's reef
and went down Saturday night. ac-
cording to the best available check
tonight. Thirty-six were passengers
and IL were members of the crew.
True to the tradition OF the sea,
which says that master must re-
main with his ship until the last,
Capt. Harry Hobey Of the Alaska ap-
parently lost his life when his ship
plunged beneath the waves 80 min
utes after striking the reef.
The survivors. numbering 166 per-
sons, were brought here today 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, dis
patched early today from Eureka.
returned to port with the bodies OF
IL men. Eight were members Of the
crew and four passengers.
OF the survivors landed by the
Anyox, 30 were more or less seriously
injured and received medical treat
ment at local hospitals
The Alaska struck the reef bow-on
in a dense fog. according to the sur
vivors. and Immediately began TO
list. The work Of launching the life
boats was accomplished without de-
lay or disorder. Three Of the boats
successfully rode the waves but the
fourth boat capsized and precipitated
its occupants into the sea. The
greatest loss Of life, the survivors
said. resulted from this mishap. A
few who wore life belts, succeeded in
keeping afloat until the boats Of the
Anyox picked them up.
A thrilling story OF how Captain
Hobey stood calmly on the deck OF
the Alaska. directing the removal OF
the passengers. into the lifebcats un-
iii everyone had left the ship but
himself and two men, passengers,
who had stood with him, was told by
survivors tonight. No trace has been
found Of Captain Hobey or the other
men. Both are believed to have per-
ished.
Captain Hobey. when the last of
the lifeboats had been sent over the
sides of the rapidly filly Alaska

He was last seen there when she
started her last plunge TO the bot

wreck was the scene on the Anyox

sengers and members of the crew of
the steamer Alaska were blown from
the decks of the vessel into the ocean
when the ships boiler exploded as
the Alaska started sinking after
twice hitting the reefs Saturday
night, survivors brought here said
today.
The steamer Anyox today brought
166 survivors of the wreck to Eureka.
Seventeen dead were also brought.
including three women and one child.
Thirty-one others are missing and
are believed to be dead. Twelve Of
the dead have been identified.
Passengers reported that Captain
Harry Hobey Of the. Alaska preferred
to die rather than leave his command.
When one passenger removed the life
belt he was wearing and offered II to
the captain, the witness said, the cap
tain walked away replying: II pre-
fer to 90 down with my ship"
Heroic efforts of the engine room
crew prevented panic when the
Alaska foundered, according to First
Officer McClintock. The electric
lights in the steamer burned until
she went down as the engine room
workers remained at their posts and
kept the dynamos running.

Negligees Are {
Joy to Every
Woman
M -

- IVES there a woman who does nol
in her heart OF hearts yearn for
the soft silks and fine laces of
pretty negligees and the things that
go with them? No matter if she wears
a high collar and plaid skirt, or a
checked Bingham dress all day, she
longs. though she may not admit it, to
snuggle down in the evening in some
thing soft and clinging. 1t reviyes her
faith III her femininity.
There are some charming little bed
Jackets designed primarily for that
lady of leisure-if she still exists.

just as warm and comfy for the girl
who likes to read in bed at night. One

thin .nightie, and these jackets are Just
the thing Lots of them are made Of
quilted satin, which makes them snug
and Spractical. They are easy for the
hon4e sewer, to fashion, too, just a.
matter Of cutting a little kimono sack
with three-Quarter or longer sleeves,
making it double, filling with a light
layer of cotton and then stitching on
the machine back and forth in a braid
ing design or in diagonal lines. Some
are made of two shades Of taffeta, such

want something especially frilly try

sFarmer Garments Preferred.
Az for the negligees themselves, their
name is legion. Emphasis seems to lie,
however, on the warmer garments.
probably because the high price of coal
argues for cooler houses this Winter.
They are sumptuous affairs in draped
velvet, padded satin, or what might be
expected, duvetyn. The latter in such
shades as jade, goblin blue and rust
makes very delightful %lounging robes.
They are usually lined with chiffon OF

cut to the front. So the way is easy
if you simply buy a coat pattern. 1t
is the color combinations and the odd
little trimming touches which make.
these things unique and beautiful, such
things as catching down the hens Of
a kimono sleeve with French knots in
stead of slipstitching it, or making
your own braid and large cabuchon
ornament by crocheting a fine silk
cord. A very simple but expensive
French model Immediately dares the
home sewer to copy it. 1t is of a silk
matelasse, which can be- bought by the
yard at the best silk shops, cut like a
very skinny cape, and then slit up
each side to the waist, the Sits all
bound with white %swandown, and a
huge cape collar, exactly like that on
a coat, of the swandown finishing the
neck.
Paja1has Popular.
Pajama suits are still popular for
the girl who likes novelties. Incl
dentally one can be made from those
same little bed-jackets mentioned at
the beginning of this article. They
need only pair Of straight Chinese
trousers or a haremed skirt of two
layers Of chiffon, made by simply
gathering to the waistband the ends of
a folded length Of the double material,
and scanning the sides to within 10
inches of the bottom fold.

BUILDERS TO
HOLD MEETING
In PEORIA

The State Building Trades Council
convention will be held In Peoria JUNE
s. and IL Is the expectation Of officers
of the state council that the meeting
viii be the best attended of any yet
held. the great many matters relative
to the present state of affairs In the
building lines demanding concerted ac.
ion and consideration guaranteeing a
large attendance.
Credentials have been sent to every
Organization in the state that Is anil.
lated with the state council. All
Twin City unions affiliated with the 10
cal Building Trades Council are enti-
tied TO two delegates, and II is expect
ed that every one Of the ten affiliated
unions will have full representation
al the meeting.
The plan OF having representatives
from each craft Is deemed advisable
from the fact that members so selected
could better speak for themselves than
II delegates from only one or two OF
the crafts were TO represent the build
ing trades council as whole.

LABOR MARKET
IMPROVES in
TWIN CITIES

The labor situation In Champaign
and Urbana shows slight improve
ment over the first of the month, and
II is estimated by those in a position
TO know that there is about fifteen
percent less unemployment now than
ON that date.
Advocates of reducing building
tradesmen's wages to '4stimulate busi-
ness have apparently ceased TO use
that argument to induce union labor
TO take cut. That their argument was
wrong may be proven by the fact that
in smaller cities like Tuscola where
unions do not exist the same inactivity
in building prevails. Therefore 1t Is
not high" wages of union workmen
that is responsible for the present
slump but rather the high prices OF
building material
The Twin Cities are remarkably free
from labor troubles at the present
time, considering all the agitation for
the open" shop and lower wages,
there being but two strikes now in pro-
gress, that of the printers and press
men, both affecting the printing trades.
II was thought this time last month
that the entire building industry would
have been tied up, but such. happily.
is not the case, due, probably, to the
influence of men of sound business
principles overriding the "open" shop
contingent of the employing element.
