RAIN WILL DO MORE
GOOD THAN HARM
Continued Downpour, However, Would
Injure Hop Crop.
The rain storm of Wednesday and
yesterday has been generally welcom
ed bv farmers of Clackamas county.
TYio maris have heen xc.edin&lv dustv !
for many months and the thorough
soaking they have received in the
past 12 hours will do much to increase
the comfort of the traveler.
The downpour does not give promise
of continuance and it is not thought
that any material injury to crops will
result, though the tomato crop may
suffer. This product, however, is not
grown to a great extent In this sec
tion, though the yield is greater than
ever before.
Hops are nearly all harvested in the
small yards and will not be damaged.
In many of the big yards the picking
is only half over, but unless the rains
continue the berry will not be serious
ly damaged, in fact a short rain will
wash off the vines and help the crop.
In the Canby section the drying of
prunes has been finished and the Wil
lamette Fruit company dried 2,300
bushels. Drying of Italian prunes
commenced last Monday and is well
under way and there are few prunes
on the ground to be injured.
The late potatoes will be aided by
the rains, which will increase the
yield.

ASTORIA TOUGHS
MURDER MARSHAL.
- SALEM, OR., Sept. 12. As
the outcome of a drunken
brawl in the saloon of William
Murphy, at St. Paul last night,
Town Marshal Krechter, of that
place was shot and Instantly
killed and four others seriously
wounded. A crowd of toughs
from Astoria, hop-pickers from
the Hess-Raymond yard, had
been on a spree all day and
made trouble in the saloon last
night and about 9 o'clock Mar
shal Krechter and posse, com
posed of Albert Lambert and
Norce Manacle, went in to quell
the disturbance. Trouble en
sued and the shooting began.
Latest reoprts from St. Paul are to
the effect that only one fatality re
sulted in the shooting scrape, that of
Marshal Krechter. The other one
supposed to have been mortally in
jured is said to be improving. The lat-
er's name is given as Fred Bustrom
of Astoria, a member of the gang of
rowdies. The others injured in the
fight were Alfred Lambert, deputy
marshal, shot in the arm; a man by
name of Yost, shot in the leg, and an
Inthor man hv Tinme of Howe..
S
(Managre, another deputy marshal, was
badly beaten about the head.
Four arrests have been made so
far as can be learned, being Sam War
ren, Jim Seeley, Peterson and
Fred Bustrom, the man so seriously
injured. The Inquest over 'the body
of Marshal Krechter is being conduct
ed by Coroner Clough this afternoon,
It is understoon from one who was in
the saloon of William Murphy a few
minutes before the shooting occurred,
E. C. Ermel, of this city, who arrived
this morning, that there was no less
than a dozen of the gang raising the
disturbance
DELAYED ANOTHER
WEEK BY SICKNESS
Rev. J. Landsborough, who is spend
ing his vacation in Dakota, in a letter
to E. F. Story in this city, writes that
he has been quite ill for more than a
week, a circumstance that will de
fer his homecoming for another week.
Rev. Mr. Landsborough expects to
reach Oregon City in time to resume
services one week from Sunday.
HOW LONG CAN CAT
LIVE WITHOUT POOD?
How long can a cat live without
food?
A reliable answer to this query
would supply desired information to
an Oregon City family, says the Tel
egram correspondent. One week ago
last Monday morning the members
of the family left the house, after sat
isfying themselves that pussy had
been locked out of doors. Not a per
son entered the building again until
the following Sunday night, when the
half-starved cat was found inside of
the house, from which it was impos
sible for her to escape. An abundance
of food was immediately provided,
and of this the cat ate ravenously, and
leaving the house, has not since been
seen. The members of the family
have no means of knowing whether
the cat did not propose taking any
further chances or whether it over
ate and afterwards died.
The only thing in the way of food
or drink that the eat could possibly
get in the . house was a quantity of
water in a small basin, and this had
not entirely disappeared. Having
lived without a morsel of food for
nearly seven days, and accepting the
old saying that a cat is possessed of
nine lives, a local mathematician con
tends that a cat can live at least 63
days without any substantial nourish
ment.
An Ounce of Prevention
is worth a pound of cure. There are
many poor sufferers, Consumptives
who are hopeless of getting well, who,
if they had taken care of themselves,
would now be well. A cough is the
foundation of consumption. Ballard's
Horehound Syrup will cure that cough.
Mrs. S . Great Falls, Montana, writes:
"I have used Ballard's Horehound
Syrup in my family for years my
children never suffer with coughs."

WAS SECOND STEAM
ER BUILT IN STATE
Pictures Are Reproduced of Pioneer
t Boat. Lot Whitcomb
Built In 1850. ; .
From a miniature photograph, the
property of Chief of Police Burns,
Rev. S. P. Davis, of this city, has pro-
. duced an excellent picture of the pio-
neer steamer, - the Lot Whitcomb,
: which was the second steamboat that
was built in Oregon. - The reproduc
tion is ' considered particularly inter
esting to the old settlers here. The
original picture of the steamboat was
taken while it was stationed at the
old Graham landing, in this city, and
the old town of Linn City, that occu
pied the site of the present paper
mills, is plainly shown in the back
ground.. ...
The Columbia was the first river
steamer built in this state, and it was
launched on July 3," 1850. On Christ
mas Day, of the same year, however,
at a big jollification meeting at Mil
waukie, the Lot Whitcomb was suc
cessfully introduced to the waters of
the Willamette. The vessel was named
after- the founder of Milwaukie, and
many of the men associated with the
ownership and management of the
property at an early date have become
prominent in the business life of the
Northwest, several now being rated
as millionaires.
The original owners of the boat were
S. S. White, Berryman Jennings and
Lot Whitcomb, and the first comple
ment of officers included Captain
William L. Hanscome; W. H. H. Hall,
pilot and Jacob Kamm, engineer. It
was a commodious sidewheeler, 160
feet long, 24 feet beam, 5 feet 8 inch
es of hold, with wheels 18 feet in di
ameter. The machinery had been
brought from New Orleans to be plac
ed, in a boat on the Sacramento, but
on arriving there it was bought be
fore it was unloaded by White and his
associates. Captain J. C. Ainsworth
had come out from St. Louis to run
the steamer on the Sacramento at a
salary of $300 per month, hot was in
duced by Whitcomb to come to Ore
gon. By the time the steamer was
ready he had over $2000 wages due,
for which he was given stock 1n the
company. When the machinery was
secured in San Francisco, Jacob
Kamm was employed to come to Ore
gon and place it In the boat, he re
ceiving 'a salary1 of $400 per month.
The boilers came in 21 pieces, and as
there were no boiler-makers, in Ore
gon at that time, Kamm and hi help
er, a man named Blakesly, were oblig
ed to put them together, unaided, as
well as to make the tools necessary
for the task. When the building of
the boat was completed the stock was
sold to a number of the early settlers,
among them being Robert Newell, of
Champoeg: Sydney W. Moss, Robert
Caufield, Hiram Clark, Alanson Beers
and Jacob Hunsaker, of Oregon City;
Thomas Hubbard, of Yamhill county
and Walter Pomery of Polk county.
The steamer did its first work on
the Astoria route, and, being an ex
ceptionally good " towboat, handled
nearly all of the sailing vessels that
came up the Columbia. It was an
expensive boat to run, and in 1854 was j
sold to the California Steam Naviga
tion company, and on August 12, of
that year, steamed out over the bar
in command of Captain George Flavel.
Outside she was picked up by the
steamer Peytoria and towed to San
Francisco, Captain Ainsworth going
down with her. The trip was rough,
and she reached her .destination with
feet of water in her hold. Oh the
Sacramento her name was changed to
the Annie Abernethy, and she ran reg
ularly for many years between Sacra
mento and San Francisco. Oregon
City people have no knowledge of
what finally became of the steamer. 1

RED FRONT
WILL PIX LOCATION
OF VALUABLE MINES
Marion Clackamas Boundary Line an.
Indefinite Quantity To
Be Surveyed.
As to whether the Ogle Mountain,
mines are located in Marion or Clack
amas county has long been a disputed
question because of the indefinitenesa
of the boundary line between the two.
counties. But while at Salem ,thia.
week on official business the members
of the Clackamas county court brought
up the subject before the members of
the Marion county court and it was.
decided the County surveyors of thet
two counties should meet next Tues
day and definitely establish the divid
ing line. . .,
As it is now legally described, the
line between the two counties extends
up Pudding River to the- mouth of"
Butte Creek, thence, up Butte Creek
to its source, thence from, its source
on a line due east to the summit of"
the Cascades. The indeflniteness of
the boundary line exists in locating
the source of Butte Creek, which con
sists of a swamp, into which several
small streams . empty. . The settle
ment of this question is important
only as determining the true lo
cation of these properties that
are now being satisfactorily develop-
ed. It has been contended by each
county that these mines are within
its borders, and the controversy will'
only be ended by the official survey
of the line that has been arranged.
