OREGONA GETS A FATAL BLOW CAPTAIN TRIES TO AVERT LINE 8TRETCHED TO 8HORE AND STRIKES BOAT CALLS FOR HELP FROM PORTCAND Sister Ship Arrives In Time to Aid In Getting Freight Off of Ship and Little Damage Will Be Sustained The Oregona, belonging to the Ore gon City Transportation company, ran Into the government dredge at Ma gone's bar knocked a big bole In ber hull and sank. Saturday night, four feet of water washed over the decks of the flound ered ahlp as the Grahamona labored to raise the freight that the boat has carried that fur on Its way to Port land. Through the day, offers came from the Willamette Navigation com pany to aid the sunken ah:p and the steamer "Ruth" went to the scene of the accident offering to assist in rais ing the boat but her aid was no, needed. On to Portland. The Oregona wag under full steam going down the river to Portland with Its regular cargo of freight. It round ed the Magone bar where the dredge was at work. A wire cable t'ed the dredge to the shore.. In the heavy fog that settled upon tho river, the presence of the line was not dis covered until too late to avert the col lision. Just as the heavy laden vessel rounded the point, the hull struck tne point of the dredge. A great hole was punctured In the side of the vessel. For a moment, she floundered in the river, making an effort to right her self in spite of the impourlng of the water that rushed through the sides of the boat in torrents and that re sisted all effortra of the crew to bring her back into line. Within a few moments from the time that the blow was struck, the vessel dropped beneath the waters of the Willamette. The cap'aln and crew were escaped and made for the shore. Company is Notified. Shortly after the accident, the com pany was notined or tne disaster ann the Grahamona was brought up from Portland under full steam to retrieve the cargo. All through the day, the cranes of the Grahomona were busily lifting the freight from the store rooms of the ship through the water that steadily washed her decks and managed by hard work to save the larger portion of the freight The steamers belonging to the Willamette Pulp & Paper company were placed at the disposal of the stricken ship but they were not needed and the officers assurred the visitors that they would be able to get most of the cargo out without any further aid. Freight Saved. Because of the rapid work on the part of th ecrew of the Grahamona, the damage that will be done to the freight will not be large and the great er part of the goods can be saved. The ship was on its way to Portland. It has a regular cruise between Portland and Oregon City and travels as fur south aa the water In the river will permit At times, it mokes the trip to Albany and to Salem with cargoes for those points. Mi WANT COURT TO CUT DISTRICTS Throughout the county where the subjects of roads Is a vital topic, the suggestion made to the county court that the number of road districts be reduced to four or five haa created a great deal of Interest It Is Impossible, however, for the court to make such a change until the October term as the law prescribes the time at which the district bound aries may be altered. The matter was brought to the attention of 'he court at the budget bearing was a good one changes had been so rapid that It was Impossible for anything to be done at that time. Many of the people of the county however, are interested In such a change and believe that the sugges tion made by several of the farmers at the dudget hearing was a good one and that the county could materially improve conditions by making the change. Nothing can be done until next October, however, under the law as It now stands on the statute books. When a woman asks a man how old be thinks she Is.

One little lonesome vote was cast against the city charter of West Linn at the election Monday. The proposi tion was submitted to the people and j carried by a vote of 153 to one. Four defective votes were thrown out by the Judges. The new charter makes the city of West Linn as dry as Oregon City, Un less the people, at a special election, vote to make the town wet, no saloons will be allowed within the city limits. The charter contains a special provi sion to this effect and this was the basis upon which the liquor element of Oregon City was said to be making its fight against the measure. Statements that the liquor Interests of Oregon City were planning to locate in West Linn were freely made during the campaign for the charter. In the fight that Oregon City waged against the interests here, the statement was also made that the saloons planned to move across the bridge and to make their headquaartrers in West Linn. The people on that side of the river botly denied the assertion and declar ed that they would vote the booze dis pensers outside of their city limits when they got the chance and were as good as their work. At the elect!on Monday, the people voted solidly against the saloons and in the support of the city charter. Several saloonmen of the city have taken options on tracts of land In the new town, it Is said, with the idea of moving over there aa soon as the pro hibition law goes Into effect here. For these options .they are said to have paid down real money and to have made several expenditures In order to hold their property there until the re sult of the election was known. All of this they have now lost.
