SALEM. Or.. June 25. (Special.)
With a hole stove right under her fire
box the Oregon City Transportation
steamer Grabamona, Captain Bloom, is
aground on Eola Bar in the Willamette
River about four and a half miles
above Salem. - The boat struck last
night about 10 o'clock, shortly after
leaving on her regular Saturday night
run to Corvallis.
The Spaulding steamer Grey Eagle
went to her aid at 2 o'clock this morn
ing. It was found the water had risen
in her hold lust enough to shut off ber
draught without putting out the fires,
and the Grahamona was unable to use
ber pumps. The Grey Eagle pumped
out enough water so cement on board
was thrown In to stop the hole.
The Grey Eagle came back to Eaiem
with freight off the Grahamona, today.
Including livestock, then returned to
Eola.
At t o'clock tonight Eola residents
reported both boats still In the stream
and the pumps working.
Klvermen at Salem believe it will be
Impossible to move the Grahamona for
some time as the hole is under her
firebox and difficult to get at.
Owing to the shallowness of the
water where the steamer went down

The vessel was reported to be resting
on an even keel, and. with the excep

The steamer Pomona, of the same
line, will be sent up the river this
morning, and the work of raising the
sunken steamer will be started. It Is
proposed to put in a bulkhead around
her to permit of repairs to the hull,
after which she will be raised. It is
expected that the work will be accom
plished in two or three days.

owners can make some agreement with
tbe longshoremen relative to moving
her cargo, it is presumed she will have
to be tied up.
News coming from San Francisco is
to the effect that the Japanese steamer
Hokkai Maru. which Is en route to this
port from Otaru with a cargo of sul
phur and hardwood lumber, has been
held up because of the strike, and it is
Impossible to say when she will reach
Portland. The Hokkai Maru reached

the 6iuslaw bar, being conducted by
United States engineers, show 16 feet
of water on the bar at low tide, acord
ing to J. W. Bergman, Florence banker,
who is in Eugene on business.
Mr. Bergman says these reports. If
true, mean 22 feet of water at high
tide, equal to the depth at the Coos
Bay bar under similar conditions. Tbe
Increased depth of water is due to the
construction of the north Jetty.

Lumber Producers Won't Let

LESSON OF 1913 LEARNED
Survey Made Weekly to Gauge Con

Kept ' in Cbeclc Caret ally.
The lumber production in tne North
west ia under the demand at present.
and this condition will continue as a
result of a carefully mapped out cam
paign by which Pacific Coast lumber
men hop. to be able to prevent a re
currence of the disastrous situation of
the Fall of 1893. It Is understood mill
operators almply will not entirely meet
the demand, for th. obvious reason that
they do not intend to let "buyers who
may be out sniping for lower values
on the basis of Fall and Winter trade"
manipulate the market and play havoo
with the Industry seneraiivt
Th. weekly trade barometer of the
West Coast Lumbermen's Association,
of Portland and Seattle, ' shows that
during the past week there has been
a- noticeable increase in new Duelness,
making the demand for cut lumbar ex
ceed the present cutting supply of the
92 mills Included In the survey. In all
probability this ratio will be main
tained during the Summer and Fall.
The barometer ihovi that the com
bined cutting capacity of these mills
approximates 69.600,000 tcnC The
amount actually cut was only 51.820,000,
owing to labor difficulties along the
coast, high water on the Willamette
and Columbia rivers and other causes.
In the combined car,, cargo and lo
cal business of these 2 mills new busi
ness exceeded production for the week
by 1.23 per cent; production excatded
shipment by 7:09 per cent and orders
exceeded shipments by 8.23 per cent. '
In the rail trade business calling
for local and transcontinental rail de
liverythe new business taken on
amounted to 1622 carloads, while the
shipments amounted to 1678 carloads.
The unshipped orders amounted to
6444 carloads.
Among the tidewater mills there Is
unshipped coastwise business amount
ing to 68.841,837 feet, and in the export
department 3Z.114.603 feet.
In the cargo trade labor troubles
brought the shipping figures down.
while unexpected action In the export
market sent the order side of the bar
ometer 10 points higher than it reg
istered the previous week. In this ex
port movement five mills booked new
business amounting to 13,694,000 feet.
Lumbermen learned their lesson in
1913. In that year the lumber Industry
was thriving In mldseason, but the
operators were filling orders and pro
ducing to meet the demand. Suddenly,
the demand dropped, but the mills keit
on producing and buyers loaded up
cneapiy. it is conservatively estimated
that the slump, which lasted through
1914 and well Into 1915. took at least
$24,000,000 away from Oregon and
Washington.
It Is to hold the present supply and
demand of the lumber Industry on an
even keel that the West Coast Lum
bermen have adopted the system of
gauging their output by the barometer.
Lumbermen believe it will prevent the
lumber Industry from floundering
every now ana men and be of bene
fit to the entire timber district.
WHISTLE CAUSES FRIGHT
TJSTRTJLY LOCOMOTIVE ATTACHMENT
- - ROUSES SLEEPERS.
Residents In Brooklyn District Regard
Prolonged Blast as Signifying
War Call or Wreck.
That some two or' three thousand
Portland residents on the East and
Southeast sides of the city may know
tne why and wherefore of the 20 mln
utes of incessant whistling last night
about 9:30. the following is printed:
On one of the engines in the yards
of the Brooklyn shops of the Southern
Pacific .Railroad la a whistle which
when the steam gets "so low," starts In
to whistle of its own accord. Last night
about 9:80 o clock the steam reached
that "so-low" stage. The whistle
started and fear and apprehension crept
Into the hearts of many a resident who
had just started in for the night's
sleep. From the calling of the troops
to Mexico to some wreck disaster the
gamut of reasoning and guessing was
run until an attache of the Southern
Pacific Company sent a man over to
the shops to find th. engine and
straighten out the klnlc. Then the
whistle ceased to blow.
For the following half hour The
Oregonkan was telling the residents of
Portland thus aroused the cause of tbe
whistling.

Vancouver Persons.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Jun. 15.
(Special.) Th. Columbia River ia fall
ing slowly and is cow about 23.4 feet,
a drop of about . ot a foot in two
days.

the water recedes enough for crops to
pmniea ana tnose planted are de
stroyed. It will be Fall before th.

Near Halsey.
ALB A NT, Or., June 25. (Special.)
On a farm near Halsey which is owned
by J. A. McCullough. of this city, a
