Warehouse Chat
Ha,vley Warehouse

MY mistake folks, our last week.
report is not the last of this season.
it was only a false alarm. But this is
our last report. We finished Tuesday
night with a bang.
F One Of our packers wore a very
thoughtful look for several days. In
quiry revealed the reason for such deep
meditation. He firmly believes that he
has found a new species of bird. What
a poor memory! Can it be that he has
forgotten? This pair of birds sits by
the fire whenever spare time allows
and COOS sweet little nothings. Our
scientist friend further maintains that
this type of bird can thrive on cereal
cooked to a certain consistency. The
father of this typographical idea ought
to know. He's been through the same
experience at least once to our knowl-
edge.
And then there was the sorter who
sorted SO fast, the apples burned the
packers fingers.
Porky was dizzy the other day. She
swayed this way and that and then
did it all over again. We were sus-
picious but Alec said it was merely
from twirling an apple too long
When Mutt, Edna, Shorty and
Sparky start making up songs, I'm
tellin' yuh, folks, it's time to listen in.
This being without doubt our last
report, we'll say farewell to you all,
and best wishes.

White Bluffs Fishermen
Have Wonderful Luck

Either the Whitefish are becoming
more numerous in the Columbia here
or the fishermen are becoming more
proficient, for some fine catches have
been made in the last few weeks.
George Wagner was in town Wednes-
day proudly exhibiting fish, caught
with ID others that day, that measured
over foot long and weighed two and
half pounds r. E. Gibbins and D. O.
Walker are others who have reported
bagging large strings. They have been
generous with their catches with the
result that nearly every one here is
becoming fish minded which isn't a
bad stunt as they say fish makes ex-
cellent brain food

STRAW VOTE E DIGEST CLOSE
 TOBEINC TRUE
Election of RO0se welt FOretold in Literary Di- gest With 00.85 Per Cent of Accuracy Ac- lc0rding to Count

New York, Nov 11.-(UP)-Gov Roosevelt's election as president was foretold with 98.S5 per cent accuracy, comparison of percent ages between the popular vote tabulated to date and the total vote recorded in the Literary Digest poll showed to-day.
 Latest tabulations of the popu- lar vote show Mir Roosevelt re- ceived 5S.71 per cent to Mir Hoov- CTS 41.29 per cent. The Digest final returns gave Mir Roosevelt 59.s6 per cent and Mir Hoover's 40.14 per cent.
 The governor won total of 472 electoral votes to the presidents 59. The straw ballot indicated they would get 474 and 57 respec- lively.
 There were two errors in the straw vote which balanced each other. The Digest poll showed the president carrying Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Jersey,t all of which the governor won in the national election; and Mir Hoover actually won in Pennsylvania and Delaware although MT Roosevelt was shown to be leading in those states. |.

this occasion. Fortunately for man. kind, whatever was won or lost when the great war ended. there ls at least this clear gain: Men and women of light and leading
 everywhere, were aroused by the
 great war into something like real thinking or planning for the final
 ending of war. Let us hope and
 pray that no universal war will
 ever again be possible. Let us hope that our children's and our chil-

 for and finally make prevail in
 earth the long amending era of
 universal peace.

 every right to keep yourselves in the public eye in order that the

| destruction. Bodies were scattered
 a considerable distance inland and
 hundreds were reported missing, presumably swept to sea.
 The Camaguey correspondent sof | tho newspaper Heraldo quoted I Mayok Rodriguez as estimating the number of dead in. the city at ~, with 200 injured. Earlier direct reports placed the Camaguey toll at approximately IS.
 Some reports received here said
 only 800 persons escaped at Santa Cruz Del Sur, but the reports were regarded as the guess of excited refugees. If all but 300 of. the
 population were lost, the dead at
 santa Cruz alone would be around
 5000.
 A survivor from Santa Cruz.
 which Is on the south coast and was directly in the path of the hurricane, said the cyclone drove
 the sea into the town and convert ed 1t into great lake" The sur vivor said hundreds were trapped. Most of the material damage \ was done to the tobacco, sugar and
 banana crops. The property loss will be millions of dollars. Rail-
 roads and utilities companies suf- fered severely.
 The most (dramatic story of ths
 fate of Santa Cruz del Sur was tel ephoned to Havana by survivor. i, Eloy Garcia Figueroa, who reached Jatibonico, on the railroad In San-
 ta Clara province 115 miles north west of Santa Cruz del Sur. Figueroa, accompanied by hts | e. -r11 I, a -fescued when it's parents were rents of water, reached Jatibonico after an arduous trip across the difficult. swampy country. It was
 assumed they travelled by horse-
 back or oxcart.
 Figueroa said the dead would
 exceed, 300. Most of them die by drowning. One family of 32 per- ished. Among the dead, he said,
 starting an incoherent story, were the postmaster, president of the city council, a telegraph operator and two physicians, Jose Gay and
 Secundo Tornado. Martinez Bar
 cena, who was just elected a na- tional representative, Figueroa con- I.tinued, lost his father and his son, the latter recently having been lelected mayor.
 At that point, Figueroa tainted.
 He had been the chief telegraph
 dispatcher at Santa Cruz. z It was believed here the death list in the stricken town would
 greatly exceed 300, since most of the buildings are of wood and the inhabitants would find no nearby
 refuge in the lowland cane fields

 HThey tell me I'm haywire on this power trust thing. That's right. I am. have reason to be. I've served for seven years on the New Hampshire public service commission, and in that time I've learned lot of power trust tricks.
 Maybe there was a day when the American public, soaked with exorbitant rate schedules, could afford to pay interest on hondingi company investments watered to. the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. They ,an't afford 1t now"
 Brown admitted he didn't ex- pect to perform a miracle" here or in Washington. But he vowed he will "get some facts before the folks of Amc rica."
 "This country's government has been saddled with too many office holders who want to be grand stand heroes, not members of a team" he said. "Too many poli- ticians feel they've got to be. great men. not public servants.
 ''When you come right down to the facts of the matter. you find that really great men have been pretty scarce. A feller don't get great just by getting bis name into the headlines.

 The former kaiser refusing al- ways to comment on events in present-day Germany, has repeat edly and indirectly deprecated suggestions that he plans to return to his homeland on his own initia- tive.
 It is recalled, however, that a close friend of Wilhelm's, the Rev Llewellyn Thomas, vicar of Aber- pergym, Wales, recently returned to Britain from a visit to Doorn and told the press the former kaiser said he was ready to return to Germany if the Germans de- sired.

 Three hundred survivors reached Camagnuey last night by train. Ten of them died enroute and 80 others were hurried to the hospital in d critical condition.
 The military were in charge in | ICamakuey and the surrounding region. and strict measures were taken to prevent footing. Troops | in Camaguey fired on looters.
 Canlaguey itself was badly dam aged but the casualties there did not appear to be high. Fred Zo- brist, Cuban national aviation pic lot, who flew there in chartered l plane. said he was told IS were i killed in a group of buildings near the hospital. Zobrist said palms and other trees were s;prOoted for 70 miles westward of Camaguey. The center of the storm passed three miles west of the city and extended for 50 miles on either side, devas-
 tating Camaguey and Santa Clara provinces.
 Reports from town after town in the stricken area came in slowly over disrupted communication lines, reporting small numbers dead and i injured here and there, and terrific
 damage. Thousands were homeless. Houses, public buildings, rail- . road stations, sugar mills and shops mated at many millions. It was the
 worst storm in modern Cuban ris- tory. It was feared the tobacco crop was heavily damaged. as well
 as the sugar.
 Among the destfuction' was the inundation of sugar warehouses at
 uevitas. with the reported des- truction of 100000 sacks of sugar were gone. Several hundred were homeless there.
 Many buildings were damaged or destroyed in the city of Florida and and two were dead. Six were killed at the Central Velasco Sugar mill near the north coast. Seven were dead, at Central Senado. Numerous small craft were destroyed along the coast and the fishing industry was crippled.
 The government was making every possible effort to speed re-
 lief to the thousands of homeless
 and injured. The number of the latter could not be estimated. The
 army was cooperating fully in the
 wor&, and maintaining order.
