SKIPPERS OF THE SELLWOOD AND
ALBINA FERRIES MUST KEEP LOG
United States Inspectors Order Record Made of Trips, Passengers,
Repairs and Incidents.
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?

CHICAGO, Oct. 16. William J. Letup,
who succeeded his millionaire father as
head of the Lemp brewing interests, to
day left the Lemp family home, at SS43
South Thirteenth street, and took quar
ters at the Washington Hotel, where his
brother also has rooms. Young Mrs.
Lemp and her son now occupy Lgmrs
residence alone Her picturesque title,
"Lavender Lady." is due to her prefer
ence for a stunning toilette in wnich lav
ender Is a dominant note. She Is a
daughter of A. H. Handlan. president of
the Handlan.-Buck Manufacturing Com
pany. "My wife and I." said Mr. Lemp, "have
not been getting on for some time as hus
band and wife should. If these condi
tions affected me alone I might have con
tinued to bear them, but they also af
fected my son William, who " Is now 6
years old." ,
The ground for a divorce suit will
probably be incompatibility.

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.

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.

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. '
