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. . ' ..,

to trade with the Indians for a cargo
of salmon. 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

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.

NARROW MARGIN OF 3 VOTEc
DEFEATS AMBITION OF
CITY TO EXTEND
18 FAVOR UNISON, 21 OPPOSE PLAN
Vote in City Itself is For Enlargement
But Sentiment in Outside Ter
ritory Against Change
of Rule
Willamette .is. not going to beat
West Linn to it Thi3 was s-ettled
Saturday, when a special election was
held in Willamette and in a part of
what-will be West Linn pretty soon
to determine whether or not Willam
ette's borders should be extended to
the northward so as to include about
two-fifths of mill property and that
part of tha school district adjacent
thereto.
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
