CAPTAINS of Albtna and Sellwood ferryboats have been ordered to keep a mariner's logbook. Just the same as on a deep-sea ship. Now. wouldn't that shiver your timbers! County Auditor Carl A. Brandes yes terday Issued orders on a local firm for the supplying of the books for the three, ferries. It Is now expected that the cap tains of the vessels will advertise for CPCHl-looklng young women to take char.se of the work, that Is. "to keep the hooks." Orders were recently Issued by the local United Ptatfts Inspectors of hulls and boil ers. Captains Edwards and Fuller, that lops must be kept on the fenies. And there was another rulinir made by the Government ot'ncials that will eause the mariners to grow gray with worry, for they have been instructed to keep a record of the number of passengers that rlrte. of the lire drills heid aboard, and of the accidents and repairs made. On a stormy d:iy. when the fog hangs low and river boats rush by under as .much steam as they dare carry, it will be great sea- manship for the skipper to crawl down out of the pilot-house in order to tally the number of people enioying the ride. In the log of a deep-se3 ship a record Is kept of the winds, currents, tides, ves sels sighted and all the day's work aboard. Now. just think of what enter ta:nir.g leading will be found in the log of the "U. S Mason, for Instance. For one trip across the river it will be some thin? like this: "Wind Mowing strong down the river. At 7:06 A M. sighted steamer Charles R. Spencer outward bound for The Dalles and way points with general cargo: she signaled all well. At 7 or A. M. spoke the steamer Dalles City, outward bound with a general cargo for The Dalles and way points: all well. At 7:08 sighted the steamer Undine, outward bound for Van couver: she did not answer our signals. The wash of the passing boats caused a heavy sea. and our ship was hard to han dle on that account, we being off the course for 3 points for nearly SS yards. All hands called aft to haul In the gate. At the time we sighted the Spencer, we were carrying 22 males. 13 females and 7 babes In arms, sex unknown. Just as we reached the west slip, steamer America hove In sight, carrying a cargo of empty milk cans. As we sailed from the West Side, the steamer " but what's the use of going on?

Little Girl Dies of Burns BERTHA HAHN", the 5-year-old daughter of Mrs. Gertrude Hahn. formerly of Portland, died yester day at Colville, Wash., from the ef fects of burns received six weeks ago. Mrs. Hahn is well known in Portland, having been born and raised here and will bring the body of her dead daugh ter to Portland for burial. The little girl was singularly bright. 11'' j II I rare presence of mind to run to a hydrant, where she turned on the faucet, allowing the water to pour out on her until the flames had been ex tinguished. When assistance arrived it was found that the brave little girl was little less than roasted. But for six long weeks she made a heroic battle for life, and she displayed such vitality that hopes were entertained for her recovery. She was one of the favorite children in Colville and almost everyone there knew and loved her. She was a beau tiful little girl and possessed a bright and cheerful disposition. Epicures Covet His Prize Pears Secretary Liner, of the Board i Trade, find Gift Box of Fruit Hard to Protect. Bertha Hahn. as was demonstrated at the time she received her fatal burns. She was alone in the 'house and through some unfortunate circumstance ignited her dress. The flames enveloped her al most before she had time to realize what had happened, but she had the SECRETARY LABER. of the Board of Trade, has been kept more than busy the last few days fighting off epicures bent on appropriating an ap petizing display of pears which covers the top of his desk. A whole box of prize winners Is on exhibition, but every one who enters the office thinks, or pre tends, they are there for free distribution. "Thank you for this pear. Mr Laber. They're the best I have ever seen." When Mr. Laber hears this remark, or something to the same effect, he hastens to intercede before the pear is ruined for show purposes by the imprint of human teeth. He explains they are there for show and not to be eaten, and that be sides they are not yet ripe. Mr. Laber is In a quandary what to do with them. He has no place to put them out of reach of the hungry and they are of such un usual size and beauty that he declines to spirit them away, although he admits the latter course would save him much trouble and time. The pears are of the Clargeau variety and were exhibited at the Hood River Fruit Fair by Richard Scott, of Milwau kie. They were awarded first prize in their class. Mr. Scott raised the pears on his farm near Milwaukie. The box will average 18 ounces to the pear and some of them weigh as much as 23 ounces. Mr. Scott represented the Board of Trade at the Hood River Fair and when he re turned presented the pears to Secretary Laber. SEAL RAID DELIBERATE Japanese Crew Compelled Captain to Consent to Slaughter. VICTORIA, B. C. Oct. 16-near evi dence is forthcoming by advices received today by the steamer Empress of Japan that the raid on St. Paul Island by Jap anese sealers was premeditated, and the statement that the Japanese landed for water and were treacherously fired upon by the Americans, as reported to the Japanese government by directors' of the raiding schooner, is shown to be untrue. Hunters of the raiding schooner, Toye No. 2. which appeared off St. Paul Island two days before the raid, went to the captain with the ultimatum that unless he permitted them to go ashore and club seals on the rookery, they would refuse to work and compel him to return. The master agreed. Further discussion took place as to the division of prospective spoils, and knives were drawn. At mid night a boat was lowered with the. oar locks muffled and sent In, the vessel being but a mile from the rookery In the fog. Four other boats followed, and In two hours 192 seals had been slaughtered and brought on board the schooner. Had the sealers been satisfied they could have es caped, but another raid was decided upon, the boats going in the seoond time at 4 A. M. At 6 o'clock the fog lifted and those on board the schooner sighted the guard coming. Warning shots were fired, but the raid ers were too busy skinning seals to no tice, and only when the guard came close did they sight the natives. Then they succeeded in getting only one boat oat. In which four men sought to get to the ves sel. One Meada, a seaman, was shot through the breast and died. Two others were wounded. The body of the dead man was taken in salt to Japan, and landed without knowledge of the authori ties. ' SPECIALNOTICE.
