Los Ange1es-In a series OF disasters
unprecedented In the history of Pacific
coast navigation, seven United States
navy destroyers and the Pacific Mail
liner Cuba are piled on the rocks Of
San Miguel island and the shores OF
the Santa Barbara county, California,
coast line.

the heaviest and most impenetrabIe
fOgs ever seen on the southern coast,
according to shipping men. Twenty
three members Of the crews OF the
| United States destroyer flotilIa have
lost their lives. and 10 or more are In

Of Santa Barbara.
The survivors Of the destroyer
wrecks are being held under naval
discipline near Honda, on the coast
line Of the Southern Pacific railroad
just above Point Agruello and about
10 miles from Point Conception, where
the first Of the destroyer fleet went

When the Cuba struck the rocks at
San Miguel island the destroyer Reno
was nearby and went to the rescue.
The Reno's commander reported that
the Cuba's lifeboats, loaded with refu-

up the small lifeboats until 1t had ac-
counted for nearly all those aboard the
Cuba, which carried 115 passengers
and 90 members Of the crew, includ-
ing about 20 officers.

STATES REPUTATION
FOR COLD UNF0UNOEO
Record Of 1888 Still In Minds Of Many
Who Believe State IL In
Polar Region
Treasure State News In
Tabloid Review

T~hirty-five years ago, In January,
1888, to be exact, the thermometer al
Fort Keogh, recently abandoned, near
Miles City registered s. degrees below
zero, or the lowest temperature ever
officially recorded in continental
America. That is where the story that
Montana is n polar state originated,
and where the rumor tnat this Is the
coolest state IN he Union started.
But such Is not the case, according
to the state records. Hayre, Montana,
Is frequently, too frequently, referred
10 as the coolest place in the United
States but records show such state
ments TO be erroneous. The average
mean temperature for January, 1923,
In Hayre, was 1875 above zero. For
the same month IN Duluth, l0.A above;
for St Paul Il.6: for Devils Lake, N.
d., l03; for Helena, Mont, 20; for
Des Moines, Iowa, 20.4.
The fact Of the matter is that Mon
tana, sheltered by the Rockies and be
cause of more favorable humidity is
neither as hot nor as cold as other
states.
Using the same line Of argument
that people use in saying Montana Is
cold, basing the statement on one In
dividual record, Montana is milder In
climate than any southern state. Rec
ords show that N July 20, 1893, the
temperature at Glendive was 1T de-
grees. The highest temperatures re-
corded In southern states are Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi, l07; Flori-
da, l05; Virginia, 104, and Louisiana,
103.
The actual statistics prove beyond
doubt that Montana is the p0ssessor
Of an almost ideal climate. The great
er part Of the state, excluding Of
course the high mountain peaks that
are snow covered the year around, Is
snow covered less than ninety days Of
the year, and the average date for the
first snowfall comes between the first
and sixteenth of October. Spring
comes az close TO the equinoxial date
set for Its arrival as In any other state
Of similar latitude.

ORDER IN DULUTH CASE
Straight Six Cent Basis Was Grant
ed BY Referee T. D. o'Brien
Today
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch

st. Paul, December 19.-Duluth's
street car fare is increased from six
cents or five tokens for 25 cents to
a straight six cent basis in an order
filed in .Bnited States district court
today by T. D. O'Brien, referee.
Passenger traffic in Duluth drop
ped from 100000 annually esti-
mated by the state railroad and
warehouse commission when it made
the flve token order to 25,380,000,
according to evidence submitted to
Judge O'Brien.
This drop in revenue, it was de-
clared, made IL impossible for the
company to receive the 7 IL per
cent return fixed by the commission.
Buses were blamed largely for the
falling off in traffic.
The commissions decision was
made August /, 1928, and the com.
pany brought action in the federal
court to restrain enforcement of the
decision on the ground that 1t was
depriving the company Of its prop
erty without due process of law and
was therefore confiscatory. s
Judge o'Brien, who was named
referee by the court, upholds the
company's contention. He found the
value Of the Duluth company's prop
erty is $4.599, ,9S7, the same as found
by the commission and he also up
holds the 1-2 per cent return.
