The Columbia river bar was at Us worst when tho tug un dertook her perilous trip, but Captain Reed, with consideration only for tho hapless souls aboard the lumber car rier, herlocally headod his tug Into tha feathery brakors and brought safely into tho harbor tho unfortunate mar iners, who must surely have porlshed but for Captain Reed's display of brav ery. Tho Grace Dollar was disabled off Ifecota head, about 100 miles down the coast from tho Columbia rlvor. Cap tain Olson told tho newspaperman who called upon him that ho had left Hoqulam on tho 20th, a weok ago Saturday, and that ho did not get away from Wostpolnt, Wash., until Wednesday.

We drifted to tho north, but sighted noth ing until uio big uarlc Thlstlo enmc along Saturday afternoon. Sho saw our signals of distress, but we Saw nothing of tho steam schooner which Captain England spoko and urged' to go to our assistance.

The finest contour of a female faee, the sweetest srallo of a female mouth, loses uomethlnc if tha head is crowned with scant hair. Scant and falling hair, It Is now known, Is caused by a parasite that burrows Into the soalp to the root of tha hair, whero It saps the vitality. Tha lit tle white scales the germ throws up In burrowing aro called dandruff. To ouro dandruff permanently, then, and to stop falling hair, that germ must be killed. Newbro's Herplolde. an entirely new re sult of the chemical laboratory, destroys the dandruff germ, and. of course, stops the falling hair, and prevents baldness. Sold by, leading druggists. Send Wo.

Tho weight of my vessel pulled tho tug over on her beam ends, and I really feared for hor bafety. "Wo wore bound for 'San Pendro with 475,000 feet of lumber. We lost part of tho starboard deck load, nnd crossing tho Columbia bar our fore boom broko. Othorwiso we came through In safety." A party of nowspapor men wore talking with Captain Reed when Cap tain Olson camo into tho tug's cabin. Ho wrung tho hands of captain Reed for saving tho lives of himself and tho sixteen other men on tlio steamer. Captain Reed said to a reporter that Sunday's bar was the worst he had oyer tackled in his soventeen years' experience. As ho stood on tho bridge crossing In with the disabled vessel In tow a groat wavo swppt clear over tho vessel, filling tho captain's boots with water. Tho tall smokestack of tho Walula was snow white with salt from tho seas that repeatedly en gulfed tho tug. Tho big sea that swept up to tho bridge carried away a solid Iron door nnd smashed the heavy plato glass sykllghts on deck A providential southwest wind sav ed tho Dollar from destruction, as it hold on until sho was picked up. Half an hour nfter p'io was towed Into port tho gale shifted around to tho southwest and had tho steamer still boon at sea sho would havo been carried on to tho north boach, whero thoro would havo boon no hopo for the crow. Tho Wallula reached her Just In tlmo, and for their lives tho Dol lar's men havo to thank tho heroism of Captain Reed, who himself braved death to tow tho disabled vessol Into port. Captain Olson Is awaiting instruc tions from tho house, and has not yet boon advised as to whero ho shall pro coed for repairs. Yestorday a diver mado an examination of tho steamer, and It was then learned positively for tho first tlmo that tho end of tho shaft had been broken, putting tho propollor out of commission.

As a result of ono of tho oversights on tho part of ono of the property holders, thero was a cave of tho roof of tho building back ot the Magnolia saloon tho oth or ovonlng, which which resulted In tho demollshment of quite a large number of bar fixtures that had been stored thero.

Hj Is Nearing the End Several parties have made their guesses by drawings three figures from a set Just as tho unknown number was drawn, and thus they hope to havo their conclusions similar to tha fortunate one, but whan it Is realized what a multitude of numbers nro possible from such combinations even this process cannot Insure success. The plain faet is that every guesser Is on absolutely the same ground, for thore can be no preferred class and no favored few. The absolute equality and fairness of the proposition Is what pleases every participant In the contest. As a result of the guessing contest subscriptions are coming to The Journal from many unexpected sources. Many persons In nnd about Salem, as well as the various towns of the county, are ordering, re newing nnd extending ther subscriptions. All realize that they will more than get their money's worth, besides a free guess on the ele gant diamond ring. i One of the most memorablo guessing contests In the history of this country was that conducted by tho Frank Loslle publishing houso dur ing the last Cleveland campaign n 1802. They offered a' series of prizes to the persons who could guese the nearest to the winning can didate, and a young gentleman cf Marlon county had the honor of carrying off the $300 prize. He was none other than Allen Forward the young attorney of this city, and, although the guess was recorded in his father's name, the late Blair Forward, the young man made the guess. He estimated Cleveland's plurality at 371,000 and his father received a check for the cash aftsr the returns had been canvassed Only one other person guessed anywhere near that figure, but he ,wot not near enough to win the prize Nqt nearly so much InLerest war taken in that contest In Salem as in the one now being eondueted by The Journal for Uie $10 diamond ring, and when tho news game of the winner being a Marlon oounty boy, it was gratifying to all his friends, it you do not win The Journal diamond yourself, gome ,of your friends may, and that will be next to getting it n your own family.
