Company is negotiating for a recharter
of the vessel, or for another craft suit
able to take her place.
If tho lumber charter for the Mortlake

taken for grain. She is a small vessel,
her register being 1737 net tons. Sho

she towed her to this port.
The crew are all well, but completely
worn out from being at tho pumps night

TRAGEDY OF FROZEN NORTH
MIXEItS QUARREL AND ONE 15
SHOT DEAD.
Perilous Trip of Mounted Policeman
to Get Murderer and Terrible
Journey Over Snow.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Feb. 2. (Special.)
F. J. Trumper, an American mining
engineer of Cleveland, O., is in jail in
Kamloops on a charge of murder. Behind
his arrest is an unusual etory of a tragic
romance of the northern mines.
A year ago, Trumper and a prospector
named George. Coleman, went into the
Peace River country, the northeastern
corner, of British Columbia, to look at
new gold finds located there. They
'bought several claims and started to
work. The properties turned out ' ex
ceptionally well, but too much prosperity
was had for the mining partners, and
they quarreled. Then they decided to
divide the property. It was in making the
division that they had a fight. Trumper
admits that he fired the shot that killed
Coleman, but declares that the shooting
was done hi self-defense.
All this happened in November. News
of the tragedy was sent to the mounted
police Btation. at Peace River Crossing.
On December S Staff -Sergeant Anderson
set out to bring Trumper in to jail. Tne
officer had a terrible trip in northern
storms. He nearly lost his life in malt
ing the crossing of the Peace River and
the remainder of the Journey by dog
sleigh was rough and stormy. Trumper
had made no attempt to get away and im
mediately placed himself at the disposal
of the officer when the latter arrived.
The body of the murdered man had not
been disturbed and lay in the place where
Coleman had fallen when hit. His head
was "badly bruised and one side of his
face was burned away, for he had reeled
into the Are of his log cabin after the
bullet struck him. One arm was also
burned. His body was frozen stiff.
After making an. investigation, the of
ficer started south with his man and -arrived
at Kamloops two days ago. They
suffered untold hardships on the trail.
The trip of 400 miles over snow and ice
and glaciers was probably one of the
most rema:able on record.
On Friday, Trumper was arraigned be
fore a magistrate at Kamloops and en
tered a plea of not guilty to the charge of
murder. He alleges self-defense as his
excuse for the crime. The charge , will
probably toe reduced to one of man
slaughter. If witnesses have to be sent
for, it will be the first of May before they
will have a chance to reach the outside
world.

DIES OF HIS WOUND
Farm Laborer. Shot by Foot
pads Never Rallies.
UNABLE TO TELL STORY
No Ante-Mortem Statement Obtained
. From August Schaffer, Who
Resisted Thugs In East
' Side Suburb.
August Schaffer, the laborer who was
shot while resisting two highwaymen
near the Crystal Springs farm, near
Sellwood, Saturday night, died at St.
Vincent's Hospital at 4 o'clock yester
day morning. After being received at
the hospital, Schaffer did not recover
consciousness, and died without being
able to make any statement. The body
was removed to the morgue, and at 3
o'clock this afternoon Coroner Finley
will hold an fnqueat.
The shooting of Schaffer occurred
about 7:30 o'clock Saturday night. He.
together with four companions, all em
ployes of the Crystal Springs farm,
.were on their way to the city. They
had been paid off and had part of their
money with them. All five are foreign
ers and know but very little of the
Knglish language, but by means of an
interpreter the police secured a fair
description of the murderers.
The bullet which caused the death of
Schaffer was extracted after the man
died, and was fonnd to be of 32 caliber'.
The missile had entered tho breast just
a trifle to the right of the center of
the breast-bone, passed through the
liver and lodged in the back near the
spinal cord.
August Schaffer was a native of the
southern part of Russia, and was 37
years of age. He is survived by a wife
and two children, who etill reside in
Russia, but their address is unknown.
He is said to have a cousin living near
Portland, but the name of this man
was not learned. As the deceased was
destitute, his remains will probably be
interred at the County Poor Farm..'
A systematic search is being con
ducted by the Police Department, and
while the officers will not announce
the nature of their suspicions, It Is
hinted that they have a clue to the
identity of the murderous thugs, and
hope to make an arrest within a few
days.
PERILS OF CROSSING FERRY
Tight-Rope Walking Necessary to
Reacli Vancouver. Wash.
PORTLAND, Feb. . tTo tho Editor. )
I have often heard of the hardshios and
perils which travelers in the wilds of Alaska
have to endure, but scarcely dreamed that
a trip to Vancouver, Wash., only a few miles
distant from this city of 150.000 people,
would entail almost as much discomfort as
a journey on a whaling ship. I have no
complaint to make of the streetcar ride to
the river, excepting the bother of having
to Day one's fare twice, but at the ferry
landing, our troubles commenced In Rood
shape. It is, I should Judge, several hundred
feet from where the car stons to the ferry
landing. After walking this distance In a
terrific wind, with the thermometer below
the freezing point, we were compelled to
stand at the entrance to the ferry and
present our tickets one at a time, before
being allowed on board.
-Several ol the passengers. Including my
self, were Incumbered with packages, while
nearly all were hanging to their hats lest
they (the people) be blown Into the river.
I was confronted with the problem of get
ting out my ticket from a card-case in an
inner pocket and at the same time keeping
hold of my hat, etc. - After much delay, the
crowd finally got past the ticketcollector
and boarded the ferry boat. By collecting
the tickets outside, the operating company
saved the risk of losing 10 cents by some
body hiding on top of the steam boiler or
in the engine-room, as no doubt many pas
sengers would ilock there to keen from
freezing to death. A. man who freezes to
death on a steamboat or a streetcar is a
dead loss to the company.
On our return from Vancouver. Wash.,
we were treated to a scene that made our
former experience seem like a jollification
party. On account of the tide being out.
the ferry boat could not approach within
perhaps ten feet of the landing. Across the
intervening Bpace was . laid (by some
thoughtful employe of the company, who
evidently doubted our ability to jump the
distance) a wobbly" plank, ten or-12 inches
in width. Aside from a steady nerve, there
was nothing whatever to keep one from
falling into the Columbia River, and as the
wind was blowing at a tremendous velocity,
it was even a hazardous undertaking for a
tightrope walker.
Nevertheless, we were ordered, one at a
time, to crosa A number succeeded in ne
gotiating the trick successfully, including
several plucky women. The more cautious
and timid among the' passengers, however,
balked at taking their lives in their hnds
or rather feet for the sake of saving the
company buying a gang-plank with rope
supporters. So the cry went up: Bring a
rope." A small rope, three Inches in di
ameter, was found, and with men and crew
holding each end. the remaining passen
gers cropsed in comparative safety. Foot
ing was not any too sure on the wharf,
however, as the boards were teovered with
ice which had gathered, the waves throw
ing up water and spray. The latter is not
4he fault of the operating company, al
thouKu an embankment could be built which
would keep back the water.
I understand than: the tide being so far
out. thus giving rise to the hair-raising
method of landing the passengers, was an
unusual occurrence. I am also assured that
it is an unusual occurrence for the Portland
Railway Company ever to be prepared for
any such emergency.

"IAVID HARUM" AT THE BAKER
Dramatization or AVldely-Read Novel
Makes Big Hit.
There has been no more widely-read book
In the last ten years than1 "David Harum."
and the dramatization as first produced by
that eminent American actor, W. H. Crane,
is equal In interest to the book. It Is one
of the foremost offerings of the Baker Com

at the two performances yesterday. William
Gleason in the titlo role makes an ideal
David, that quaint, humorous country

"The Train Robbers."
No more critical audiences are found

these' people, even among Europeans, are
very dark. The Abyssinians are black, but
they possess th characteristics which mark
them Caucasian.
Not having access to any learned book
authorities, I cannot speak from a legal
standpoint as to who are eligible to become
American citizens, but am of the opinion
that it is not a question of race. I know
that some of the best citizens we have
among us belong to the yellow race. I spent
last summer among them and found them
to be desirable citizens In all respects. They
are honest. Industrious, social and enter
prising, and they have a clear conception
of what political liberty means. The spirit
of anarchy, such a prominent characteristic
among the Italian and some other of our
foreign-born citizens, finds no place in the
yellow race's creed. They are Americans
nnd are proud .of it. They celebrate the
Fourth of July with an enthusiasm and
loyalty that put to shame -the half-hearted
manner In which mnny native Americans
welcome our natal day.
Two years ago, July SO. they gathered at
the schoolliouse. spent the night there, and.
when the rosy dawn gilded the East, they
welcomed the nation's birthday with the
booming of guns and songs of praise. Even
the little fellows Joined the general rejoic
ing and popped firecrackers to beat the
band. All kinds of patriotic songs were
sung, and speeches fell from lips unused to
oratory. Old ladies were present who could
not speak a word of English, but they could
worship the Stars and Stripes in any lan
guage, and they did It In Finnish.
