come in, said .Robert Warrack, light
house superintendent, yesterday, "and
our worst fears are realized."

Warrack is that three beacons in the
Columbia equipped with ice cutters
may be found Intact after the ice has
gone. Two of . these were established
at Slaughter's and one at Martin's
island. These beacons are now experi
encing the first ice that has appeared

provided with properly furnished waiting
rooms, storerooms and other conveniences

tinues the sailor may have to sweeten
his coffee with molasses or honey, ac
cording to an offical of a local firm which
supplies many of the vessels with provi
sions while in port. He said that all of
the supply people, have adopted a system
of rationing the ships according to the
number of men aboard. This Is necessary
because the chief stewards, knowing of
the shortage, usually request twice the
amount they really need, in the hope that
the requisition will not be cut more than
one-half. Ten sacks is estimated to be
sufficient for a crew of SO for a period of
four months.

DOWN STEAMERS ARRIVE
Carter Algonquin Loses Lifeboat
When Rose City Bumps Her
Daring Ice Battle.
With a channel cleared and kept
open through the Columbia, the diffi
culty of steel vessels in navigating
the river was believed last night to
be at an end for the t'me being at
least, though it will' bo several days
before the pilots will be willing to
accept the responsibility of moving a
wooden vessel through the floes.
The steamer Centaurus and the oil
tankers Oleum, J. A. Chanslor and
Washtenaw, which started down the
river from Portland Wednesday, were
all reported yesterday as having ar
rived at Astoria without trouble, and
the tanker Atlas with barge 93 of
the Standard Oil company in tow
started up from Astoria yesterday
morning and was reported as passing
Kalama at 1:55 P. M. yesterday. As
she had passed through former points
of difficulty opposite Oak point and
Goble, it wk believed she would
make the rest of the Journey into
Portland without trouble.
Steimcri Leave Dowa
The passenger steamers Rose. City
and Curacao left down yesterday and
it is believed they will be hampered
only by the impossibility of traveling
at night due to the extinguishment of
the aids to navigation, marking the
channel.
Columbia river pilots believe it will
not be advisable to move wooden ves
sels through the ice in the Columbia
before tomorrow.
. Rose City Bumps Cutter.

ter and the steamers Rose City and
Curacao through the ice in the Colum
bia was marred Wednesday by a
slight accident, it was learned yester
day. The Algonquin, breaking ice in
the lead, signaled that she was going
to stop, but before the Rose City, fol
lowing behind, could check her speed.
she struck the smaller craft a glanc
ing blow on the quarter, crushing a
lifeboat that was hanging In the dav
its and pulling down the wireless
aerial. Neither hull was damaged.

of the accident. She is expected to
resume her duties today.
8 DELAYED SHIPS ARRIVE
WLTER STORMS ON ATLANTIC
REPORTED SEVERE.
Halls of Vessels Are Covered With
Ice, Rigging Coated With Sleet
and Funnels Salt-Caked.
NEW YORK, Dec. 18. Substantial
evidence of the fierce winter storms
which have prevailed for the last ten
days along the steamer lanes be
tween this country and Europe was
shown by eight big passenger liners
which arrived today with more than
17,000 belated passengers. Hulls en
crusted with ice, rigging covered with
sleet and salt from spray caked on
funnels, prefaced the stories told by
ship officers of high winds and gigan
tic waves that swept their vessels
from stem to stern.
The ships arriving were the Rotter
dam from Holland, via Plymouth; the
Baltic Royal George, Carmania and
Caronla from British ports, via Hali
fax; the Lafayette from Havre; Ber
gensfjord from Norway and Europia
from Genoa,
All were from three to five days
overdue.
The Rotterdam was three days late
and her master. Captain J. Baron,
declared that the trip was the rough
est he had ever made. His declara
tion was supported by Rear-Admiral
Andrew T. Long of the United States
navy, who returned after escorting
the king and queen of the Belgians
back to their country. Admiral Long
said that one week ago the weather
was so rough that the big liner was
rocked like a cradle.
The Carmania had to put in at
Halifax to repair damages caused by
a collision at sea with another shi
in the fog.
The Caronla, for Southampton, was
close to the Carmania when the ac
cident occurred and responded to her
wireless calls by putting about and
going to her assistance. The tendered
help was not needed but she accom
panied her Into Halifax. On board
the Caronla were more than 3000
Chinese who served in France as
laborers during the war. They were
landed at Halifax and will re-em
bark for their own country at Van
couver, B. C.
FRESHET IS HELD UNLIKELY
Weather Man Says Snow Along
Willamette Melts Slowly.
Present indications are all against
a serious freshet as result of the
melting of the snow now on the
ground throughout the Willamette
valley, said Edward L. Wells, district
forecaster, yesterday. The snow Is
melting and running into the river
slowly, he said, in spite of the rains
of the past two days, and the tempera
ture continues low enough to give
assurance that a sudden rise in the
river Is not forthcoming.
The official thermometer of the
weather bureau climbed to 43 degrees
yesterday afternoon, but dropped
again to 40 degrees when the heavy
rain began and lingered around that
point.
The river gauge at Portland at 8
o'clock yesterday morning showed a
depth of 2.8 feet above zero, an in
crease of .7 of a foot in the preceding
24 hours. A rise of .6 was recorded
at Albany, .6 at Eugene and .2 at
Oregon City.

GAINS 26 POUNDS
Eats Anything, Sleeps Like a
Log and Feels Stronger
Than in Years
"All my troubles have left me en
tirely and I have actually gained 26
pounds In weight since I began tak
ing Tan lac," was the statement made
Just a few days ago by A. X. DuVall,
a well-known mechanic who Uvea at
7625 Foster road, Portland, Oregon.
"I have been in the worst sort of
health for the past three years." con
tinued Mr. DuVall, "troubled with
bad cases of indigestion and rheuma
tism and with disordered kidneys and
nervousness. - My digestion was so
bad that sometimes even a poached
egg would upset me and It seemed
that I could eat nothing that would
agree with me. I . would bloat up
with gas and after every meal I
would . bo troubled with belching
spells. I had rheumatism in my feet
and limbs and my kidneys were so
badly disordered they worried me all
during the night so bad I could never
get any rest or sleep and I would
have severe pains across the small of
my back. I was so weak and run
down I would take cold .easily and
every time I did it settled in my bron
chial tubes and caused me no end of
misery. I was so nervous that when
the folks around home even talked a
little loud I could not stand It.
"When I read about Tanlac in the
paper I said to my wife: Til bet Tan
lac will help me!' So I started taking
it and yes, sir, it did help me and to
day I haven't any symptoms of my
troubles at all and could hardly ask
to be in better health. I have a fine
appetite and everything I eat agrees
with me perfectly without any bad
effects. The rheumatic pains have all
disappeared and I have as good use
of my feet and limbs as I ever did.
My kidneys are In splendid condition
and the pains across the small of my
back are a thing of the past. My
nerves are as steady as a clock and I
can sleep like a log all night long. I
have been built up in every way, feel
stronger than I have in years and as
I said, I have gained 26 pounds. I
certainly have reason to recommend
Tanlac and it is a pleasure to me to
do so."
