Held In the Ice five hours and only es caping after a difficult tank that Involved tufting- of Us freight and all aorta of maneuvering-, m the experience of the learner Tahoma at the Ulg Eddy. The plight of the craft was narrated yester day by Captain Buchanan, cf the Open River Transportation Company, for which the vessel Is operating pending overhaul lr ef the J. N. Teal. I saw the Columbia blocked with Ice, from the Big Eddy to Covington's Polul. an.l there la considerable Ice In cakes floating In the river." said Captnln Bu rhanau. "It was thought that the Ta homa could reach the Big Eddy without much trouble, and on seeing the lc pack the. captain assumed from Its appear ance that It was soft. He signalled for more steam and took a flying start, which landed the Tahoma on the Ice. By rhangtng the position of the vessel's h-.vy freight and backing hard It finally slid Into the water. We cannot get frelcht to the Eddy under present conditions and the out look Is not favorable. It was snowing hard at Hood River and vicinity Wednes day, and there waa new Ice at The Dalles when I left." In the face of cold weather and stormy ion. lit lor s Captain Buchanan saya that work Is being hurried on the Cellio Canal and that at no time during the season has lie noticed more act'vlty of construc tion. Added to that stir there la the life exhibited as far as the Peechutes. where the bridge for the Oregon Trunk Railroad Is being built. Porter Bros.. rontratcors. reported that the piers are completed and that the first lot of steel will arrrve on the ground next week. Uranlte abounds along the Columbia In places, but the railroad interests ob tained that material for the piera In Southern California and Mexico. The steamer J. N.

Captain Buchanan believes, the Vpper Columbia will be open to naviga tion. He Is convinced that the stream to Lewlston will present no obstacles for steamers during the Summer. Mrrs absence costs Lira Drowning In Port Few Since Adop tion of Ordinance. Determined that no drowning of sea men In the harbor can be attributed to faulty nets or tarpaullna beneath gang ways, or to neattgenre In acquainting all masters of shirs with the regulations. Harbormaster Speler railed the attention of Ms force again to the Imperative need of Insisting on net being stretched, and on hla personal Inspection of the water front yesterday gave particular attep tlon to the manner In which those safe guards were provided. The drowning of Chief Mate Pledrlch Te Harde. of the German ship Elfrelda. whose body was yesterday recovered at Unnton by Hugh Brady and conveyed to Dunning A Mclntee's establishment, la charged to the fact that there waa no net or tarpaulin used under the El frted.Vs gangway. De Harde. It la sal-L carried a lantern, but on approaching the edse of the wharf the rays of the light shone In hla eyes so that It was apparently impossible for him to see the plank. Phi pa lying at Unnton have now provided nets, though they are beyond the limit of the harbor. The net ordi nance waa made effective aeveral years ago. following a winter when a half ilosetx men. Including one roaster, lost their. Uvea through falling from gang wave on bailast logs. Not since that time has a drowning occurred through the victim falling from the gangway. At ttmea early In the morning crews of ships have hauled comrades from the rets who had fallen from the plank while Intoxicated and then reposed In slumber when they found their fall broken by the contrivance. The harbor police Insist on the gangwaya being lighted at night and by those methods the river's toll has been reduced ma terially In accidental drownings. OKEGO.V CITY LOCKS ARE DUG Vpper River Freight May Be Hand led by Rail. Facing an Interruption of traffic for two months. .while the Oregon City locka are being deepened by blasting away the bottom of the basin, officers of the yellow Stack line are considering means of providing for the care f freight between Portland and points on the Willamette south to Corvailla. During the low water season last Sum mer the lowest depth at. the north end of the locka was IS Inches over the sills. As the bottom of the locks Is solid rock additional depth gained will have to be provided through blasting, though by in creasing the height of the gates the amount of water available may be In creased. There are six sections In the lock snd work will possibly have to be carried for half the distance. The sys tem is arranged so that any section may be drained and men may labor without water Interference. "While steamers will be prevented from naming through the locks, arrangement) are being consiaerea wnereoy ucimu will be hamlled between Portland and Canemah over the line of the Portland Railway.

It Is said that If the Corpa of Army Engi HOURS neer In constructing the proposes uov ernment locks on the east bank of the river there, establishes the height about two feet above that of the present plant, navigation will not cease until extreme high water. The locks In use were closed before the crewt of the last freshet Waa reached and they were not re opened until the river had been falling two days.

Willamette University took a rough game of basket ball away from the collegians here last night by a score of 17 to 21. It was a hard-fought game, but a game in which the lithe and clean-cut young collegians clearly could not compete with the foot ball tactics of their husky opponents. Fouls figured mostly on the score board, 18 being called on the visitors for rough work. The neat dribbling of Van Loo and the clever guarding of Melchlor, both of Mt.

G. Spalding team, which recently won. the Indoor cham pionship of the city, and the two clubs will cross bats at the Armory Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Ryan has decided to call his team the Beavers, and If they are successful against the Spaldings Sunday they will challenge any Indoor team In the North west. The Beavers will have all the Portland champions, now wintering hero. In the lineup, and Jimmy Adams, of the Vancouver Northwertern League Club, and Al Lerch, of the Trl-Clty League, will help out. Vean Gregg Is practicing the underhand Indoor delivery each day, and Bill Rapps and Gus Fisher, who have been stopping his shoots, say he throws like a cannon ball. The Spalding team has made an en viable record at the Indoor game this) Winter, for that club has won 11 out of the 13 games played.' and won the cham pionship of the Indoor league by a wide margin.

RATES TO BE Railroads to Reduce Fares in Tourist Season. MANY VISITORS COMING Local Officials to Ask Special Charges for Rose Festival, Es peranto and Christian Church Conventions. Reductions in passenger rates to the Rose Carnival In Juno, the Christian Church convention In July and to the Esperanto congress later In the year, as well as the usual concessions r colonists' and tourist traffic will be sought at the annual meeting of the Transcontinental Passenger Association at Chicago, to attend which William McMurray, general passenger agent of the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navi gation Company, will leave Portland this morning. Mr. McMurray also will make efforts to secure the customary routing of Cali fornia tourists through this city and to have stopover privileges granted them that they may visit Portland and other points In Oregon. Especial Work Outlined. He will direct his energy especially toward securing this concession for the delegates to the National Education Association and the National Sunday school convention which will be held in San Francisco during the coming Sum mer. Members of both organizations al ready have made application to have their tickets issued with liberal stop overa In Portland. It is likely that reductions in rates will be granted for the Rose Festival on 11 lines entering Portland as well as on all connecting lines west of Chi cago. The fame of Portland's annual carnival has spread throughout the East, and the railroads realize that this is one of the greatest revenue-producers in which they have the opportunity to The Christian Church convention, which la scheduled for July 4 to 12, will at tract at least 10,000 visitors to the city, according to the estimates of local offi cials of that denomination. A temporary auditorium will be constructed to ac commodate the visitors, who will come from all parts of the United States. A reduction for this occasion virtually has been promised. The third special event for which Mr. McMurray will ask low rates Is the North American Esperanto Congress, the date for which meeting has not yet been set. Several thousand delegates are ex pected to attend this gathering. No Trouble Foreseen. No difficulty is anticipated in securing the usual colonists and tourist rates through co-operation with the Eastern roads. This reduction annually has re sulted in the advent of thousands of people to Oregon and has been the means of causing many of thjse vis! ors to become permanent residents.
