ARMY STEAMER
AND EAGLE BOAT
DASHED ON ROCKS

New York, May 19,--Driven by
vicious eastern gale, two govern
ment ships, eagle boat number II
and the army steamer General
John w. Wilkens-pounded ashore
on Long Island early today and
are reported to be breaking up.
The gale which sprang up on
the heels of a terrific rainstorm
about l a. m. wrought havoc along
the coast. Even the giant Aquit-
ania, inbound. from Europe, made
hard sailing of her drive along the
Island and at one time coast
guards reported there was fear
she might get in too close and
come to grief on one OF the many
hidden bars.
The General wilkins pounded
in on the rocks at Orient Point,
Wednesday. Soon after she struck,
her crew was off the ship and she
had been given UP as lost.
The eagle boat, newly attached
to the "dry" navy, struck hid
den shifting bar one mile off
Amagansett. Her crew of 30 men
was rescued in n geries of thrilling
dashes on the surface on a wave
submerged raft to which the men
lashed themselves.
Commander Ricketts, of the
eagle boat. hunting rum runners,
ran into a heavy fog shortly after
midnight. Then the gale tore
down and Ricketts, decided to run
for safety. Off Amagansett, how
ever, the little boat struck.

tive by the Moors, is thought dead
by those at home. Escaping, he

Crusoe sets sail for unknown
lands again. He is cast on a des-
ert island and after months of
solitary living discovers wonder

Most of the action, with which

CHERRY PRICE
ADVANCES TO
SEVEN CENTS
Two Cent Jump Since
Opening Reported Most
OF Crop Purchased and
Big Pick Expected.

Soaring beyond all previous ex-
pectations, the cherry market has
risen from the opening price of 5
cents pound to z cents for Royal
Annes, with a local commission
house offering a quarter of cent
over the market.
The greater part of the cherry
crop has been purchased, 1t is said,
with buyers still active in the
field in some parts of the county.
No estimates of the size of the
crop are available as yet, but is
believed that it will be one of the
largest in years.
Strawberries Firm.
The strawberry market still re-
mains at the same price of 5 cents,
but there is considerable specula-
tion as to what will happen before
the picking season commences in
another 10 days.
At the present price strawber-
ries are " cents higher than last
year which is, according to some
buyers, an indication, that it will
not drop. Previous years have
seen the strawberry market clean
ed up, and particularly last year
when. almost before the season
closed, orders for them could not
be filled. Because of these and
other signs some growers and
even cannerymen are holding to
the idea that on some varieties of
strawberries, the price may go as
high as cents.
Increase Not Likely.
On the other hand the crop in
the middle west is larger than for
many years previous, with a larger
acreage here than for the last ten
years. Growers are not selling
and are still looking for higher
bids Experts disagree as TO
whether or not canneries have
fully protected themselves against
a rise and have purchased from
the outside.
II any large contracts have been
signed by growers at cents, and
there is the reported large pur
chases on the outside, then there
is little hope of an increase.
Pickers will receive u cents
for strawberries this year, with a
prospect of cent or Il cents for
cherries. 1t is the usual custom
of the growers to pay cent when
cherries are being bought for S
cents and IN cents when they
are above that price.
The loganberry price still re-
mains at 3A and cents with
purchases being made at the latter
price.

Fair Weather Brings Hot
Campaign To Fitting
Close; Sixty Percent
BallOting Forecast.

With ideal weather conditions
prevailing Salem and Marion
county is rolling up the biggest
vote today ever recorded in a pri-
mary election. Indications at /
o'clock this afternoon were that a
vote of 60 per cent Of the total
registration would be cast in the
down town districts-as against
an average of 40 per cent in pri-
mary elections heretofore-with
the outlying precincts falling only
slightly under this mark. Meager
reports from rural precincts this
afternoon indicate a much lighter
vote than obtained in the city
precincts but with interest at a
high pitch it is expected that a
heavy farmer vote will be cast lat
er In the day.
Candidates Hopeful.
Headquarters of the various re-
publican gubernatorial candidates
lin whom chief interest centers
In todays contest continued
their expressions of confidence in
the victory of their respective can
dtdates as a result of today's bal
loting but the concensus of opin-
ion is that the real race is be-
tween Governor Olcott who is
seeking the denomination and
Charles Hall.
In spite of the interest center
in these two candidates however
friends of Patterson and White
were still contending that their
favorites were still in the running.
Outside OF the gubernatorial
contest chief interest in today's
battle of the ballots centers in the
selection of republican national
committeeman with Ralph e. VIII
liams, present incumbent, oppos-
ed by o. H. F1thian, both Of
Multnomah county. The race for
the state treasurship with o. p.
Hoff. incumbent. opposed for the
denomination by Thos. F.. Ryan,
is also adding its quota to the
general interest in the election.
While the republican contest un
questionably holds the center OF
the stage the democrats who still
register as such are making > most
creditable showing in today's pri-
mary contest and indications are
that the proportionate vote in the
democratic primary will measure
up we'll with the showing of the
republican contest.
