Per Week, Test Gvx: NO ANNEXATIO ALARM SYSTEf Newest and Biggest Marvel of the Seas, The Imperator, at End of Her Maiden Trip. TO WILLAMETTE DETAILS FBB Several leading citizens, among them being Mayor Linn E. Jones, Dr. Norris, who is a member of the Stats Historical society, and M. E.. Dunn, believe that the anchor recovered from the bed of the Willamette, at the head of the Clackamas rapids Fri day by the government dredga Cham poeg, should be placed in McLoughlin park as a relic of pioneer days of the state. Early next week Capt. N. C. Reed, of the dredge, and the govern ment engineers, will be communicated with, and an effort made to have the anchor donated to Oregon City for a historical exhibit. If funds are necessary for this, M. E. Dunn has suggested that a sub scription be taken up, and offers be lead the list of donations himself. It is not believed that there will ba any trouble encountered in raising funds. Particular interest attaches to the finding of this anchor, because it is practically certain that it is a relic of one of three large vessels that sailed up the Willamettee in pioneer days--the Convoy, which was in the river in 1S29, the Mary'and, which came here in 1840, or the Henry, which docked at Oregon City in 1847. Indications are that the anchor belonged to the Convoy, which left her mooring hur riedly when attacked by Indians. Convoy Frightened Off. The Convoy was a, ship in the serv ice of the Hudson Bay company, and was in command of Captain Thomp son. She sailed from New York to the Hawaiian Islands, and thenea back to the mouth of the Columbia, '"reaching Astoria in 1820. She was then sent on a voyage of exploration up the Willamette, and navigated as far as the head of- the rapids, wher6 she anchored. While lying there In dians made a hostile demonstration against her, and the vessel .slipped her cablss and dropped down stream. Word of the attack was ssrit to Dr. McLoughlin, and he went to the sav ages and told them not to attack the vessel. Capt. Thompson had all he wanted of the Willamette vallay, how evsr, and returned to Astoria where he reported to the Hudson Iay com pany that the Indians wera too sav aee to undertake any trading. Owing to the fact thnt it is known that the Convoy left in haste, and that she anchorad near the spot where the old anchor was found, it is believed that the 12-foot mud-hook belonged ot her. An effort will be made to clean the rust from the big anchor, in the hope that there will be found upon it some mark by which it can. ba iden tified. .

The Indians were not in a tractable mood, however, and aftei being told of the peril of having his ship caught by the teHing water, sail ed away, reporting to his owners that "the Indians are all, owned by the Hudson Bay company." Cargoes Readily Sold. 'Another Newburyport vessel, the brig Henry, in command of Capt. Kil bourne, sailed to Oregon City in 147, coming here with a load of furniture which it had picked up in San Fran cisco. Although the furniture was old and practically worn out, it was sold to the pioneers at an enormous profit, and the vessel took on a return cargo o lumber, salmon, beef and vegetables, carrying these to California, and so opening up .the first coast trade serv ice. In 1851 the Henry returned againg, carrying a cargo of Leghorn bonnets. These were purchased at an excep tionally low figure by. a Mrs. David Caufield, who" opsned the first millin ery store in Oregon City, and to buy whose bonnets people came from Sa lem and other upper valley towns. The bonnets had been originally ship ped to the Hawaiian islands, but had not appealed fo the dusky Kanaka be'las. Pioneers Reap Profits. In 1850 Capt. M. Ml. McCarver, Ber riman Jennings, Samuel A. White and Dolph Hanna, purchased the ship Ocean Bird at-San Francisco, where it had been deserted by officers and crew, who had gone gold prospecting. They brought ths vessel to Oregon City, landing where the woolen mills are now situated, . and refitted the boat as a passenger packet. On their next voyage to San Francisco they cleared over $12,000 above the pur chase price of the ship, carrying peo ple easer to get to the nawly discov ered gold fields. The Ocean Bird, re mained in the passenger trade until tha end of the gold rush. In subsequent years the Ocean Bird made many voyages, both in the cost wise tra:le and to the Orient, and all her ventures proved profitable. She was, however, practically the last of the deep water carriers to come to Oregon City, for the appearanca of steam vessels on the river soon mada it more economical to transfer car goes at Astoria, rather than warp and tack the big merchantmen up the tor tourous channel of the Willamette. In early days the Ocean Bird berthed at docks where the Hawel mills are now located, and at another dock at the foot of Eleventh street. Later on the sandspit at Eleventh street become the site of a shipyard, where a num ber of river steamers were built. WATER PRESSURES TO BE DISCUSSED Thera will be a joint meeting of the city water commission, the special e'evator committee of the council, the city engineer, the city attorney, ths mayor and representatives of the Otis Elevator company -and the Oregon Bridge & Construction company in the council chamber at half past nine Monday morning to consider meanb for providing water for the hydraulic elefator to be erected and operated at the Seventh street face of the bluff. The meeting, called by Mayor Jones will thresh out the conflict of opinion in regard to the possiblity of getting sufficient pressure from the city serv ice to operate tha big elevator, and will also figure upon the cost of pil ing the water to the base -of the ele vator tower. These questions will have to be definitely settled before the elevator can be completed and put in service, and it is desired to get tha preliminary arrangements for the ex tension of water mains made as soon as possible. At the same meeting there may be an informal discussion of the adop tion of Bull Run water for the city's use; for this will have to be taken in to condiseration in the elevator plans as well. Considerable pressure will be required to operate the hydraulic elevator, and in figuring on providing this, the normal pressure of the water in the city mains will have to he fig ured upon. If the change is made from the present supply to Bull Run water, the initial pressure will be dif ferent. The general sentiment in fa vor of adopting Bull Run, and the probability that this source will be utilized by the city practically by the time the elevator will be ready for service, will have a bearing upon the matters discussed at Monday's meet ing.

The Spider Which Lives in a Bubble Science and Nature The spider studied in this film Is the only member of the spider family that takes to the water, its favorite haunts being stagnant pools or sluggish stream3 over grown with eeds. The most remarkable thing about the water spider is its home, as it lives in an air bubble. By gathering the tiny air bubbles that' are constantly rising to the surface of the water, the spider, by slow degrees, builds a bubble large enough for himself to live in and enjoy the many insects on which it preys.

The vote in Willamette was safely in the majority, for annexation; b. the vote in the territory to be annex ed stood 18 for annexation and 21 against it. And as Wilamette cannot add to her area over the- objection ol the outside territory, the three who voted against annexation dacided the outcome of the question. In anticipation of such a result, res idents of the territory bordering the northern boundary of Willamette, as well as others in the limits of the pro posed city of West Linn, met in Ore gon City Friday evening and prepar ed papers of incorporation for their new city. At the time there were some who feared that the territory in the. extreme south of the proposed naw city might vote itself into Wil lamette, but the majority did nof share their doubts in the matter. There were about 4a registered voters in the district that had the de ciding vote. As but 39 ballots wer" cast, it is possible that had all the voters gone to the polls the result might have been different; but the narrow margin by which annexation was defeated that the district was closely divided on the question, and the six voters who cast no ballot might have been been just as equally divided.' The election is regarded as being decisive, however, for practically eight-ninths of the electors expressed a preference in the matter. Those who voted against joining with Will amette are known to be in favor of entering the new city of West Linn; so it was simply a choice of which municipal corporation should be join-t-d. It is said that the balance was turned against Willamette and in fa vpr of West Linn because most of the voters believed that they woujd get more improvements and benefits from their taxes in the new city than in the, where they : would have to bare a share of burdens for past improve ments. CALIFORNIA BEEF HIGH Receipts for the week have been: Cattle 1525, calves 278, hogs 278G, sheep 4896, horses 23. Cattle market steady to strong all week.

All other difficulties in connection' with plans for the installation of an adequate fire alarm system have been overcome, the last trouble, in regard 10 stringing wires, having vanished when the Portland Railway, Light and Power company agreed to place , a special arm upon its poles for the city wires. The decision to utilize the filtration plant office as a sort of central station for the fire alarm sys tem solves the last difficulty, and it is now believed that rapid proves. win De maae on -putting the plant in operation. When7 negotiations with the tele phone companies were taken up, the Pacific States people agreed to per mit tne city to put a gaDeral alarm button in their central station, but de clined to put in the transmission box, by means of which the box numbers are to be rung in. The Home Tele phone company, always anxious for publicity, rushed to the front with -in offer of acceptance for their plant; but the councilmen, after thinking tto matter over, decided that probably a more reliable service could be given by " city employees, and fixed upon the filtration plant as the best place to put in the ringing device. Tha transmission box, which will b installed there, will niake.it possible to sound on the bell alarm the box numbers rung when any fire occurs, and will notify members of the dc parment and citizans instantly in what ward and district a box has been pulled. In this way much time will be saved in reaching the exact locsf tion of fires that may occur, and the property damage in any conflagration will be cut down by the prompt ra sponsa of the department.
