BOTH BOATS ARE DAMAGED British Windjammer I'uts Off shore Vndcr Light Sail Government Craft Is Hove To, Awaiting Arrival' of Tug. ASTORIA. Or.. Jan. 3. (Special.) The British ship Port Patrick, which Hailed from this port this morning for the United Kingdom, collided with the Columbia Kiver lightship shortly be fore noon, and both vessels were dam aged. How badly the Port Patrick was Injured is not definitely known. The Port Patrick was towed out about 10:30 this morning by the tug Wallula with Pilot McVlkar on board. The pilot left her when well outsido the bar and as a strong southeast wind was blow ing, the vessel put oft shore and to the southwest. When near the lightship and about an hour after the tug had dropped her, she was caught aback and swung around, struck the lightship a glanc ing blow about midships on the port Bide. The lightship's bulwarks, cov ering boards, house and lifeboat were smashed, the latter being cut in two. Her smokestack, fore try sail and mast were carried away. The Port Patrick lost some of her head gear, but wheather any other damage was done, is not known. After the collision, the ellip ran in toward the bar, where two tugs were towing In the loaded French bark Geuthary against a strong curi-ent. She set sig nals saying the lightship was in need of assistance, and later set a flag for a pilot, but she Is not thought to have been seriously injured as she flew no (signals for a tug. When last' seen the Port Patrick was headed off ehore with light sails set. As soon as the bark Guethary was towed inside, so that she could be hand led by one tug, the Tatoosh went out to the assistance of the lightship. The vessel was lying at her anchorage, the report that she was adrift being an srror. Captain Olsen, master of the craft, reported the accident with the damage to his vessel and to the Port Patrick so far as he knew. He said Ilia vessel would be all right until to morrow morning, when the Tatoosh will go outside and tow her in. As soon as the accident was reported, Captain Stuart and the Cape Disap pointment Llfesaving crew went out to the lightship and they are on board to night. (With tlie Port Patrick standing on ehore under light sail, she will. In all probability, show up off the mouth of the river again this morning. If she is damaged sile will come back for re pairs, and if not. she would have stood iut under full sail. The Port Patrick is in command of Captain Santy and cleared from Portland . December 26 with a full cargo of wheat for the United Kingdom.) BONCIIAMl'S HAS HARD VOYAGE Encounters Heavy Weather and l'cars Entertained for Safety. SAN FRANCISCO. Jnn. 3.

FIFTEEN TO 20 PER CENT President Josselyn. of Street Rail way Company, Says Figures In dicate Marvelous Growth of Portland in Twelvemonth. President Josselyn, of the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company, said yes terday that an unprecedented condition is shown in the reports brought 'up to him of the comparative amount of travel on the streetcar lines of the city for the opening; days of the year. The first three days of January show an increase in travel, as indicated by receipts, over the corresponding days of last year, of be tween 15 and 20 per cent. There is but one way to account for this increase, said Mr. Josselyn, and that is increased population. "People living here do not seem to re alize how rapidly the city is growing." continued Mr. Josselyn'. "Our daily re ports of receipts are probably the best barometers at hand to show this increase, and taken in connection with the greater amount of business done by the down town retail stores, there is but one way to account for them and that is that more peoplj are being hauled on the street cars and more people are shopping than at this time last year. "One item in our report rather surprised me at first, and that is while former years showed a marked falling off in receipts immediately following the holiday shop ping season, this year so far maintains the increase made Immediately preceding that season. Heretofore there was a fall ing off from the average of about 51000 In the few days following the holidays; this week there will be no such shrink age shown. "The company' has been able to get 12 of the new closed cars on the East Side lines put into operation, and have three more about ready to add to the O. W. P. runs, known as the city line of that sys tem that is to say, on the Sellwood, Mount Scott and Mount Tabor services. We have also added 12 of these new type, broad cars on the Portland Railway lines, and have 28 more in the shops, turning them out at the rate of one every 24 hours. "These cars are of unimultiple control, Quipped with airbrakes, and are of the same type as the new cars on the Oregon City-Estacada line. With these additions I am in hopes that patrons of the lines will have less ground for complaints in the matter of service, and that we shall have a chance to withdraw from the lines some of the old cars for repairs, paint ing, etc.. which we have been unable to do for the past few months on account of the stress on our equipment. "With the installation of unimultiple control cars, one motorman may take out trains of two or more cars; each of which is provided with motors. We can by this means give additional cars in times of emergency without calling upon emerg ency help. The new cars seat comfortably 40 passengers, and being built with wide aisles, during rush hours can carry nearly 100." TWO PERFORMANCES TODAY The Beautiful Bird Fantasy Musical Comedy, "Woodland," at Heilig. There will be two performances at the Heilig Theater, Fourteenth and Washing ton streets, today.

The Baker Stock Company will be seen but twice more in the great Churchill play, "The Crisis," this afternoon and tonight. The company's performance this season is generally conceded to be far superior to the one last year, and as a play this famous story is even more interesting and compell ing than the widely-read novel from which it Is a dramatization. This will be the last opportunity Portland will have of seeing the play for a long time to come. SOME CHILD TO BE HAPPY Big Teddy Bear Will Be Given Away at Matinee at Empire Today.

This well-known theatrical firm is presenting the famous comedian. James T. Powers, supported by an excellent company.

Ralph Stuart'a great human interest drama will bo presented by the Allen Stock Company at the Lyric next week, commencing Monday night, and there is a general manifestation of interest among local theatergoers.

"A Child of the Slums." Beginning with the matinee tomorrow, the French Stock Company will present a new melodrama, "A Child of the Slums."

DIRECTORS IN SQUABBLE Differ Over Dividend Declared by East Side Bank. Differences of opinion that have arisen in the management of the East Side Bank will lead to the selection of a new board of directors at the an nual meeting of stockholders that will be held today. H. H. Newhall, presi dent of the bank and owner of a ma jority of the stock, has had a rupture with W. J. Lyons, the secretary and cashier, and J. A. Lyons, assistant cashier. As these three comprise the directorate and have griven the Lyons control of the bank's policy, Mr. New hall declared last night that he would today select a different board, retain ing the control himself. One of the chief causes of the con troversy, according to those interested, is the declaring of a dividend of $4500, which was voted by the Lyons brothers and opposed by Mr. Newhall. Dan J. Malarkey, representing the Lyons brothers, declares that this dividend was made necessary in order to pro tect the interests of his clients, while Mr. Newhall protests that the dividend is inadvisable at this time, and that he will Institute suit In court to pre vent it from being paid. In the mean time he has discharged W. J. Lyons, although the latter was still working yesterday. A dividend of $5000 was voted at a directors' meeting Thursday, . but wa reduced to $4500 at an adjourned ses sion of the same meeting yesterday. The meeting Thursday was rather stormy and after it adjourned Attorney Malarkey and President Newhall had a tussle witn me minute book, in which the lawyer was victorious. ' "I regret that this Incident has been exaggerated in the papers," said Mr. Malarkey yesterday. "No blows were struck, as was reported, and it really was a trivial affair. I represented the secretary and took the book to the meeting. It properly belonged in cus tody of the secretary, so I took it away with me when the meeting adjourned. although Mr. Newhall tried to take it out of my hands. Mr. NewhaLTs son followed me a short distance, but there was no further trouble. "The entire trouble was due to a Baby Laugh It belongs to health for a baby to eat and sleep, to laugh and grow fat. But fat comes first; don't ask a scrawny baby to laugh; why, even his smile is pitiful ! Fat comes first. The way to be fat is the , . way to be healthy. Scott's Emulsion is the proper food, but only a little at first. All Dras-cists: 50c. mad f 1.00. UMCt - negirttered, U.b.l'iUOS. mistake on my part in giving control of the directorate to the Lyons broth ers, when I owned most of the stock," said Mr. Newhall. "I have high regard for both of them, but we differed In policy somewhat, and I resented their action in declaring a dividend against my wishes. It may all blow over and both of the Lyons remain in the bank. I shall, however, keep control of tho board and shall bring suit to stop pay ment of a dividend at tnls time." The Hast Side bank, although not large, is recognized as' a perfectly sound institution and the disagreement among the directors will not affect its standing In the least. MR. AITCHISON'S PLACE How He Came to Be Named for State Railroad Commissioner. PORTLAND, Jan. 3. (To the Editor.) Tn The Oregon Ian Thursday It Is Intimated that the appointment of Clyde B. Aitchlson as one of the Railroad Commissioners, of this etate came through the recommenda tion of J. Thorburn Ross. In this you are mistaken, and we know you will correct the erroi.. As a matter of fact this appointment was made at the request of those largely inter ested In transportation In this state. The work of Mr. Altchlson as secretary of the late State Tax Commission had received the highest commendation. He had also given a great deal of thought and study in the oreparatlon of the Railway Commission law and other matters In connection with railroad legislation. George A. Steel, having the appointment of one member of the board, desired to appoint some one from Multnomah County, and we were so advised. A number of per sons were befng favorably considered in connection with this recommendation, but in consequence of other appointments which were to be made it became necessary to recommend an attorney for this appoint ment. Accordingly, having full confidence both in Mr. AHchison's ability, industry and Integrity, he was recommended for the place to Mr. Steel who promptly appoint ed him, and we have every reason to be lieve that Mr. Rosa nor any one else other than as above stated had anything to do with the appointment. We may add that In connection with Mr.' AHchison's work as commissioner he has thus far proven competent and has amply justified our recommendation. HENRY HAHX, A. H. DEVERS, H. WITTENBERG.
