L In tow of the river "steamer Ockla hum and tue Oneonta. the Russian hark Port Caledonia, grain laden for the United Kingdom, was started down nt 2 o'clock yesterday. While there was a chance the vessels might be ae layed. E. W. Wright, manager of the Port of Portland, said he aid not think the ice was sufficiently heavy to hold them or injure the hulls. The Oieonta experienced some trouble in taking water from the river for steaming pur poses, so the tug Wallula will be sent back in her stead and remain during the ice period to assist in handling cieeD watermen. On the way upstream the oil tanker W. a. Torter ran through new Ice De- tween Altoona Point and Walker Island and more sloughs arc said to be freezing, while there was more evi dence of ice in the river here yesterday, thin sheets floating over large sur face off the harbor at times. River- men are of the opinion that with strong winds from the east and northeast having ceased, there will be less freez ing, unless there is a material drop in temperatures. CHEW BOARDS KEXVOX MARU difficulty Expected in -Salving of Jupanesc l-Veighter. VICTORIA, B. C, Jan. IS. Salvagig the Japanese freighter Kenkon Maru .'o. S will prove a difficult and lengthy undertaking, according to Captain W. II. Logan, of the London Salvage Asso ciation, who, accompanied by Captain "Vamaguchi. master of the stranded rteamer. arrived in Victoria today from the scene of the wreck. A conference on insurance matters was held at the local ottices of tbe Uritish Columbia Salvage Company. For the first time since last Wednes day, when the Kenkon Maru piled on the rocks, the weather moderated suffi ciently to permit the Salvor to get alongside and put a wrecking crew aboard the stranded ship. Practically the whole of the bottom has been buckled and punctured. SCHOONER LOST IX STORM Crew Quitting Volantc for Sitka Picked Vp in Nick of Time. SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 18. A dis patch from Petersburg, Alaska, says the schooner Volante. bound for Sitka, was abandoned in Chatham strait dur ing a violent snow and wind storm reveral days ago. While being towed by two gasoline boats the lines parted and the schooner drifted helplessly. The Volantes crew took to the life boat and was picked up Just in time. When last seen the Volante was drift ing rapidly toward shore. The lost boat is supposed here to have been Captain John Backland's old wooden, vessel of 119 net tons, which formerly made an annual trip to Point Uarrow. in the Arctic. GOLDEN GATE STEAMS AWAY Banner of Clillo Now Carried by 137-Ton Vessel. More tonnage lost to the American merchant marine left the harbor yes terday when the little steamer Golden Jatc. of 137 tons net register, started lor California with the bright bars of the Hag of Chile displayed from her mainmast. Since the sturdy steamer was built at Sausalito in 1891 the Stars and Stripes have been her banner and yesterday she carried that emblem at the fore, but aft was a large flag that of her adopted country. The Golden Gate was to have delayed her voyage until all danger of ice on the .lower river had passed, but her owners decided to follow in the wake of a larger vessel through the ice field. CITY 1IOK.SE ,HAS COLD PLCXGE Cart Loaded 'Willi Know Backed Into Ktver at Pine Street. Tolly, a powerful mare in the string f the city street department, was given an accidental bath yesterday morning when she backed her snow nlled cart into the river at the foot of Pine street, where snow from down town streets is being dumped. In falling the horse came un h'wked from the cart and men at once put off in a skiff, making a line fast around her neck, so her head was held above water. Harbormaster Speier reached the scene soon after and with the harbor patrol launch towed the animal to the beach between Oak and Stark i-treets. She was little the worse for the accident, but the wagon went to the bottom. Lewis ltiver Steamer Stopped. RIDGEFIKLD. Wash., Jan. IS. (Spe clal.)

WHEN men have a birthday they usually take a day off to cele brate. When women have a birthday they invariably take several years off. Unless one is young in actual years. Frances White thinks she's dread fully ancient. She was 20 last Sunday. The sheer audacity of any girl of 28 saying she felt as if she were getting old made me plumb mad and I said I'd embalm it in print and keep a copy in my safety deposit vault. And why? Because Frances White has made tremendous strides in the three years since she danced her queer little best at the Lyric and some day she is going to land ker-plunk right In the middle of a metropolitan con tract. And when she does a dozen re porters for big papers are going to rush up and camp on her doorstep, to find out all about her. - - Lok in Katnre Taken? Suppose It's 10 years from now. Get me? She 11 be 30. But being an ex perienced actress by that time she will take off a few years and the paper's will come out next day hailing the new zJ-year-old star. And then II get out my little interview and publish it broadcast and shatter another actress idol. That's what I threatened yesterday. but the little White girl just laughed. She is a Joyous creature, sunshiny and spirited and one of the busiest maids I ever met. She's up with the lark and as gay as one. to practice her dances. To William- Rock, her partner, she gives all the credit for her artistry. "He has taught me all I know," she says. I used to dance at tne Lyric when I was ingenue there, but I knew only a few little cut-and-dried steps I had picked up. When I got a place in The Candy Shop.' Mr. kock took me in hand and has taught me dancing as a science. I know the 'why' of cer tain steps, just as well as I know tne how Every morning I go to tne theater and put on my gingham prac tice suit and there on the cold, bare stage I go through my lessons. At first I cried every day, for there was so much I had never learned, but Mr. Rock was patient and now I've gained confidence. New Dance. Being Worked Oat. We are working out new dances all the time. When I'm not practicing steps I'm studying French, and music. T shall never be contented until I get near enough to the top to touch the garment hems of other stars, even I'm not billed in electrics myself." Miss White recalled to me ner rirst Interview, the very first she ever had. I wrote it three years ago on her 17th hlrthriav. eettiner it as we scurried along the street to her apartment, where a turkey was browning and I .e -sv is rivers.

Or., Jan. IS. (Special.) Astoria will have a municipal steamer line plying between here and ports on the Upper Columbia River and perhaps Portland within the next few weeks, probably early in the coming: month.

FUMj shortage is relieved First Lot of 1000 Cords Arrives on Burge From Slough District. One cargo that relieved part of the fuel shortage was a load of fir wood aboard the barge Camas, which was towed here from Willamette Slough yesterday by the tug Chas. li. Grei ner. It is not unusual for barges of slabwood to be brought here from lower river mills, in fact, that has been regular business, but the prac tice of barging "cordwood" has not been general for some time. Slabwood is' loaded direct from mills to' barges and some land owners who have cut timber for fuel argue that Is Life Worth Living? It Depends Upon the Liver.

Fact is some people drink coffee with seeming impunity, but when disturb ances of the digestive organs result in headache, biliousness, irritability and other common symp toms of caffeine poisoning it's time for the coffee . drinker to look to his morning beverage for the true cause. - ,'".!' For any coffee drinker who finds that his health is wrong, but don't know just why, it's a good idea to quit the coffee and use POSTUM- the pure food-drink Made of wheat and a small amount of molasses, Postum has a rich, snappy flavor much like that of mild Java coffee, yet contains no caffeine (the drug in coffee) nor other harmful element. There are two forms of Postum. The original Postum Cereal must be boiled; Instant Postum is soluble in boiling water and can be made in the cup at table. Both kinds are equally delicious and the cost per cup is about the same. A change from coffee to Postum is a good move .toward right living. ' ( , "There's a Reason" Send a 2-cent stamp to Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., at Battle Creek, Mich., for a 5-cup sample of Instant Postum.
