Oregon City Man
Tells of Wreck
Near Shanghai
How the Eastern Sailor rammed and
sunk the Sakaki Maru, and the story
of the explosion aboard which killed,
four and injured nearly a score of
others, is told by Orean Moore of
Oregon City, second engineer on the
Columbia-Pacific steamer. .
"We were coming up the river to
ward Shanghai on the morning of
March 22 he writes from Shanghai
to his brother Byron of Oregon City."
"The weather was quite foggy and we
had several narrow escapes from hit
ting some -big; Chinese junks so the pi
lot anchored till the fog lifted and
then we proceeded on up the river. It
; seemed the stream was full of junks
that morning and we were having an
awful time.
"We swung away around one and
were way over on our side of the
channel when the Sakaki Maru hove
in sight. We signaled to pass on the
port side, a junk being in her way,
she signaled to pass on the starboard
We saw we could not do it and we
answered back to go to port. She
whistled again to go to starboard so
we whistled three times meaning we
were going asternship out of control.
Sakaki Maru Collides
"The Sakaki Maru was going at a
good clip and kept right on coming
and when she crossed our bow we
smashed her a good one amid ships.
It caved in her side and crashed in
our bow so we are three feet shorter
than we were. She sank in only five
minutes, her engine room fire room
and forward hold filled with water.
The river where we hit is shallow so
she did not have far to sink and no
lives were lost.
"We are now in drydock getting
fixed up at a cost of $25,000. We ate
getting 20 new plantes and a new bow
stem and will be ready to sail the 15th
for Faki Bar and Darien and home.
"We also had a bad explosion five
days ago when a bunch of gas- formed
in the fore peak tank and was set on
fire by a burner who was burning
some rivets. There were 16 men
working there at the time. The first
man got half way out of the hole and
they were alLgrabbing hold of him so
neither he nor anyone else could get
out. The heat and smoke soon put
them all to sleep and we went below,
putting wet clothes over our mouths
and noses. We tied a rope around the
first man and pulled him up. The
black smoke was so thick that we
could not see. The fire department
arrived at that time and the men put
on gas masks and went way down.
They tied ropes" onto them and we
pulled them out one at a time.
Mflln Are Burned ,
"I never saw any men so-burned up
in all my life. Only one was dead
when we got them all out but three
died later. Some had no skin on
them at all. We had no doctor so the
officers had to give first aid, I made
some doctor. All we could do was to
cut off their clothes and pour pitric
acid on them and wrap them in sheets
We used some old doors and ladders
for stretchers. One man's leg .was
burned to a crisp but he was still
alive.
"Nothing much has happened since.
I fractured my little finger on my left
hand. I was using a hammers and a
chisel. I missed the chisel, and you
can guess the rest."
Moore was making his fourth trip on
the Eastern Sailor, which touched
Vladlvistok, Shanghai, Hong Kong
and Darien. The steamer cleared
from Portland February 14.

FATAL WALLOP
Remonstrance Scores K. O. at
Council Meeting; Mayor
Hands Jolt to Proposed
Pugilistic O r g a n'ization.
WATER SERVICE FOR
GLADSTONE TALKED
Investigation . o f Extension
of Mains to North Started
by City; Report Ordered.
The petition for the establishment
of a boxing commission in Oregon
City,- was handed a solar pfexus by
tne city council at its session on
Wednesday evening. Opposed by a re
monstrance containing three times as
many names as the original document,
it was given the K. O. through an ex
ecutive order of Mayor James Shan
non. The original petition, containing 116
names was presented. Councilman
Bridges moved to hold it over for full
consideration and investigation at the
hands of the council. Van Auken ob
jected, stating that action should be
taken at once, and the matter settled.
"It's settled now," stated hizzoner,
after viewing the remonstrance with
332 names attached "The majority
rules! Next order of business!"
The question of giving water serv
ice to Gladstone and the adjacent dis
tricts was fully discussed. A commit
tee from Gladstone headed by 0; E.
Freytag, appeared before the council,
requesting a full investigation of the
possibilities of granting service to
that community. Councilman Metz-
ner moved for the appointment of a
committee to investigate in conjunc
tion with Jhe water board. "I think
there could be water enough if, the
dam were raised about two feet,"
Metzner stated, quoting former inci
dents where more water had been se
cured by temporarily raising the dam.
"If they want to fix up the dam and
the pipe line there will be plenty of
water," he said.
Water Supply Queried.
William Howell, a member of the
water board, took issue with the fact
that there was enough water. He
pointed out that the supply was at
present taxed to capacity by Oregon
Oity alone. "It is only a matter of
time until lota of money will be need
ed at the headworks to replace the
wood pipe and wooden dam," he said.
"A concrete dam and new pipe will be
needed in five or six years."
Chris Scheubel made the statement
that when the system was installed it
was understood that the way it was
operated did not produce a capacity
supply, and that slight alterations at
the headworks would increase the
flow one-third.
Councilman F. H." Cross pointed out
the fact that very little consideration
had ever been given the Gladstone pe
titioners and he urged a complete in
vestigation. "Gladstone, Canemah,
and the cities around here are as
much a part of Oregon City as the
city itself," he said. "One of the best
ways to build up Oregon City is to
help the surrounding districts, and I
think that we should do anything we
can to aid them. If the water exten
sion is any way feasible, I believe that
it should get full consideration from
this council."
Oak Lodge Has Plan.
W. W. Woodbeck of Jennings Lodge
pointed out the plans which were be
ing laid for a water system in the Oak
Lodge district to the north of Glad
stone. These people" had also asked
for water from Oregon City, he said.
"If the engineers estimates are - cor
rect, said Mr. Woodbeck, "in a few
years a new system will have to be
installed and it would be a good stroke
of enterprise for Oregon City to get
these outside districts to aid in pay
ing the improvements." He pointed
out that Gladstone has 330 water
users and the Oak Lodge district, 900,
and with the increase in population in
another five years there would be
fully 2,000 new consumers available,
all of whom could be secured by Ore
gon City.
The mayor appointed the fire and
water and street committees to inves
tigate the matter In company with the
waer board.
May 20 was set by the council as
the date tor hearing 'any objections
to the acceptance of the paving on
Sixth street, which has been com
pleted. Vehicle Ordinance Passed.
The new vehicle ordinance, to re
place the one recently held unconsti
tutional" by Judge J, U. Campbell was
passed. The same license fee of $120
a year for all trucks delivering arti
cles herefor resale, was provided.
Farmers are excepted under the pro
visions of the new law..
A petition from residents of Hood
View in Holmes addition, south of-Division
street and east ot Molalla ave
nue, for a sewer was referred to the
city attorney and engineer. Engineer
J. R. Stafford reported that conditions
had "been investigated' and a sewerage
system was badly needed, and could
be arranged if the legal proceed ure
necessary could be outlined.
A petition for the Vacation of the
alley running east and west in Block
46 of the County Edition to Oregon
City was presented, and filed for ac
tion after the legal period of 40 days
has elapsed. City Attorney O. D. Eby,
reporting on the request for the vaca
tion of the alley in Block 112, advised
the property owners to file their
formal petition.
A Detition from the Clackamas
county public health association for a
donation of $Mo to aid the staging of
a public health Institute here, was
referred to the finance committee.
The institute is to be held May 18 to
20.
The report ot the chief ot police for'
the month of April showed 77 arrests,

Fight Is Urged On
Ground Squirrels
The ground squirrels have been ex
ceedingly slow in coming out this
year, and the poisoning work will be
later than usual in most communities.
Usually the young squirrels are born
in mid-April at the latest, but many
of them are being born at the present
time and will be for a short time
ahead.
Most communities report the squir
rels as being thinner than usual up
on their appearance and that they are
taking the poison very readily.
Owners of property, infested with
grey diggers or field mice should be
using their best efforts now in the
control of these pests.' The Farm
Bureau, cooperating with the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and the
Oregon Agricultural College, has made
it possible for land owners to very
cheaply rid theif premises of these
pests. Poisoned grain in packages may
be secured from the Farm Bureau pro
ject leaders in practically every com
munity in Clackamas County or at the
office of the County Agent on the
Court House grounds in Oregon City.
This poison is being sold for 15 cents
a pound and has secured excellent
contol where properly used in past
years. s -
The rate of multiplication of grey
diggers is at the rate of from five to
ten, so it is very important that this
work be done early in order that the
young brood will not make its appear
ance. This is a matter that should
not be postponed otj entirely neglected
when control may be effected so
cheaply.

to each detail is quite necessary
if comfortable fitting glasses are
wanted. In fact the principal
thing aimed at in the wearing of
glasses is comfort and satisfac
