Ubtil Next Fall Local Steam
boat Office Closed Yester
day Morning.
The local office of the steamboat
company in this city was closed
yesterday for the season, and
Agent H. N. Hoffman left by the
afternoon train for Portland, where
he will continue in the employ of
the Oregon 6ity Transportation
Company. The last boat until the
fall rains make a bigger river, left
down yesterday morning with a
small cargo. It was the Pomona,
and she only reached Corvallis af
ter a most difficult trip up, in which
she nearly tore her steam capstan
asunaer in punine nerselt over a
gravel bar. The last trip is a little
later in the season than usual, the
long continued rains have kept the
Willamette at boating stage sev
eral weeks later than is common.
The last trip in 1905 was ' made
June 15th. The river is now. but
10 inches above low water. The
fact that the Pomona draws 16 inch
es of water shows what the task is
of dragging her over the bars at
the present time for upper river
traffic. The chief obstacles to sum
mer navigation are in the river be
tween Independence and Albany.
Whenever a boat can reach Albany
it can also make Corvallis as there
are but few obstructions between
the two latter towns. The Pomona
will make regular trips htreaiter
between Portland and Salem.

That the Mitchell trial at Seattle

years, is a statement of those famil

and progress on both sides is oca

Some of the scenes in the court
room have been dramatic in the ex
treme, particularly when the attor
neys for the defense have intimated,
that the judge is partial to the pros

have" gained favor with public senti
ment, until now the over crowded!
court room, the people on the street
and apparently the united popula
