OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, NOV. 24, 1911
FIFTY YEARS AGO.
An event of great national aurl in
ternational importance occurred in
the West India Islands fifty years ago.
Capt. WifaeH of the warship San
Jacinto, who'had been lying in wait
for tiie British steamer Trent, with
the Confederate- eo.uminnioiiers Mason
and Hlidell on board finally located
the coveted steamer and fired a shot
across tier bow, commanding bur -to
halt. The captain of the Trent con
tinued on with undimished speed, au
the captain had no reason to fear the
war vessels of any nation, England
being then at peace with all the
world. As the Trent drew near the
war vessel she hoisted the Mritinh flag
shouted "What
anawer came back
they would send
and the captain
yon want?" An
to the effect that
boat aboard.
In a few minutes a boat, filled with
men, appeared around the stern of th
war vessel ana was rowea ramuiy i
the direction of the Trent.
An efficer in the uniform of tl
United States navy, and wearing hi
side arms, soon appeared on the upper
deck. Captain Moir of the 'lrent niet
him in no amiable frame of mind and
demaned his business,
"lam Lieutenant Fairfax of tl
United States ship San Jacinto," said
the officer, "and my orders require
me to ask to see yourpassenger list,
The English captain refused pre
emntorilv to oroduce it.
Lieutenant Fairfax next stated that
he had positive information that the
Confederate commissioners and their
secretaries came on board the ship- at
Havana and that lie most satisfy him
self that they were still on board be
fore he could allow the Trent to pro
ceed.
The conversation between the Fed
eral officer and the oaptain lasted
gome moments. Mr. Mason was seat
ed on the quarter-dock in a position
to see the officers, but he could not
hear what was said.
Mr. Klidell was sittina a little apart
from the group of passengers, in
which were the wonion members of
his family. Very soon hearing his
name mentioned by the United Htates
officer, he arose and advancing toward
Lieutenant Fairfax said : "1 am air
Hlidell."
Mr. Mason, .hearing this, also ad
vanned,
Lieutenant Fairfax addressed Mr.
Mason in a manner which the latter
describes as "perfectly respootful,
saying, "Mr. Mason, lam ordered to
oarry yon on board my ship."
"very well, sir, exeoute your or
ders," was Mr. Mason's reply.
"Will you go with me?" nsked
Lieutenant Fairfax.
"Certainly not, unless compelled
by greater foroo than 1 can over
oomn," replied Mr Mason.
"I trust, sir," said LieuteiiHiifc Fair
fax, "yon will not reiiuire me to use
foroe upon your perHou. It would bo
the most painful act of my life to do
so."
"Yon must decide that for your
self," said Mr. Mason. "I can only
iepeat that I will not leave this ship
unless compelled by a force which I
cannot overcome."
Lieutenant Fairfax once moie ap
proached the Confederate uoaimlsiou
ers, Baying, "Ueutlouien, I hope yon
will now go with me,"
"I have only to reiterate," replied
Mr. Mason, "I will not leave the thip
unless by force greater than I can
overcome. "
"Lieutenant Fairfax then said ho
would take lmn by force, and taking
hold of Mr. Mason's coat collar gave
an order: 'Gentlemen, lav builds on
him." I then laid hold of him by the
coat oollar, when Mr. Mason said he
would yield under protest."
The same prnooedare was followed
in the case of Mr. Blidull. and with
au oftioer on each side of them the
two oomtniHslnuors, followed by their
secretaries, moved olf toward the
gangway, at which lay the Hun Ja
olmo'i boat.
"As we stepped on the ilonk." the
narrative continues, "Captain Wilkes,
who was (.landing near the gangway,
touched his hat and said, 'Captain
Wilkes, gentlemen, who commands
this ship. You will please to walk
Into the cabin.'
"I replied, 'We are brought on
board this sliip by your order and
against our will and of course must
abide your direction,'
"Ho again said, 'Pleuso to -walk
luto the oabin. ' "
The oaptain accompanied his pris
oners to the cabin, and gave up to
them its only two staterooms. Their
baggage and whatever persouul stores
they wanted were brought from the
Trout, and at 3 :!!() the vessels parted
oompuuy, the steamer to resume her
interrupted voyage, the warship to
take her distinguished prisoners to a
port in the Noitli.

Soring-like weather. We sincerely
hope the "old timer" may be mum
thinking this will be an old fashioned
winter, or rather that he will be mis
taken and that the good Lord will not
punish us Innocents with snow and
cold. Everyone appears to be in good
health so far, with few exceptions,
but unusually severe weather is sure
to react upon the people's health. So
don't prophesy, lost thinking it may
bring badJresultH.
Bad 'weather for railroad building,
short davs. etc.. lias compelled a ces
sation of work almost entirely until
nring opens again, and then look out
for the cars ! ;
INot much building going on at this
nlace at present.

Here is a quotation from S. E. Riser
that is more true than poetic:
"I think the deepest pit of hell
Is kent not for the ones who kill, K
i.i'Not for the ones who cheat or lie, Z.
Noffor the ones who cursing, die
JThere , is a fouler sinner still.
"I think the deepest, darkest pit.

To manliness, plans to become
A mocker ot sweet innocence."
I wonder if Oregon is going to be at
the tail end of the procesion of states
who eive women the right to vote.
No I Oregon is going to do her duty
and herself proud next year. Yon'il
see.
Here's a prttey good one an eastern
paper prints. "William IV, writing
in the Ottowa i ree Trader on laxity
in the gnaging of young boys and girls
aavB : Where is my wanaeriug ooy
tonight. ' Many a mother sang that
last night. The boy is probably out
with the wandering girl of some other
mother, long alter both ot them should
be at home. And instead or doing
bum job of singing about it, both
mothers should have boen starting oat
after them. These strenuous days are
liminatiug many old institutions that
did splendid work in the np bringing
of children in the past. That s why
wo are getting things like that grand
jury investigation. One of these things
that have gone is the barrel stave
whittled down so that dad could get
good hold. The other is mother's
petticoats Wasn't it a fact that the
kids whrj clung to mother's petticoats
in tinifl of trouble always came out
ahnut right? in these days oi wireies
telegrams, aeroplanes and tube skirts
the modern mother doesn't wear
enough petticoats to afford a decent
hand hold to a robust kid iu times of
stress and temptation." Themis our
sentiments, tew.
Here are soomo pithy pararagpl.s:
lis a blamed sight more sensible to
Hpeud your money on a good woman
than a bad horse,
A woman who has taken a man into
her heart often wishes she'd taken a
cat lutsead.
Two thirds of all a man's troubles
wear pettioinuls, and all a woman's
troubles wear pantaloons.
And again, what are mince pies? It
is something only to be had at home,
and not there if yoor lolks are t e-tot-alrrs,
says au ecxhuuge. But we know
better. Good datidy mince pie can be
made without using liquor No mother
houl 1 ever use intoxicating liquor in
minco pie or other oookory.
those who never paid their subscrip
tion, and with gnashing teeth pants
to them, "Yon brought me to it."
RAILROAD VS. RANCHER
There Is something radically wrong
with us or the railroad. Either we
don't know what it takes to run a
railroad or they don't give a Hodson
Bay blanket whether we like it or not
so long as we have to patronize'them.
I wanted to give my children iu
Seattle a little Thanksgiving treat in
the way of a box of apples ' ' from
home." So I toos. the apples to Esta
cada (a suburb of Dodge) to ship
them from there. Alter g'eping me
waiting while he phoned it seemed to
me to every official on the S. P. road,
he agve me the figures f 1. 10. I told
him I had the apples and all I wanted
to do was to pay the freight on them.
Then he began figuring to me so
much to Portland, fifty cents transfer,
aud the fare from Portland to Seat
tle, and wound up by raying that if I
knew how little the railroad made I
would send mv freight money to my
children and let them bay the apples
and take the rest of the money and
get them some good warm stockings.

An Innovation in Oil Heaters
The Perfection Smokeless Oil Heater, with its
drums enameled in turquoise, is an ornament to any
room, whether in the country or city home.
No home is quite complete without a Perfection Oil
Heater. It is a necessity in the fall and spring, when it is too
warm to start the regular heating apparatus, and too cool to be
without heat. In the midst of winter it is often convenient as
an auxiliary heater, as there are always some cold comers
in a house.
The enameled heater always presents a nice appearance, as ihe
enamel wiD not tamuh or burn off. It is not an " enamel paint," but k
it the same at the enamel of your cooking utensils.
The Perfection is the most reliable and convenient portable heating
device you can find. An automatically-locking flame spreader prevents
turning the wick high enough to smoke.
