STEAMER KELLOGG
IS PURCHASED HERE
Northwestern Transportation
Company Gets Craft.
RUN TO BE TO THE DALLES
Additional Vessel Made Xeccssary
by Large Freight Bookings.
Price "ot Made Public.
The river steamer Joseph Kellogg
was purchased yesterday from the
Kellogg Transportation company by
the Northwestern Transportation com
pany, owners of the river steamers
Olympian and J. N. Teal and agents
for the steamers Astorian and Relief.
The price paid for the Joseph Kellogg
was not made public.
The purchase of an additional
steamer by the Northwestern com
pany was made immediately neces
sary by. the demand for a vessel of
some sort . to carry the freight that
nas been booked for transportation
between this city and The Dalles. The
low stage of the Columbia river makes
the route to The Dalles unnavigable
for the deep-draft steamer Olympian
and this vessel is not adapted to the
carrying of heavy freight.
J. N. Teal Ia In Drydork.
The steamer J. N. Teal, which has
been operating on the Portland-The
Dalles run, is in drydock for repairs.
So urgent was the need of a vessel to
handle the freight that wae accumu
lating on the docks that the sailing
of the Joseph Kellogg to Kelso, which
had been scheduled for last night,
was canceled as soon as the purchase
was completed and the vessel was
loaded and dispatched to The Dalles.
or the present, the Joseph Kellogg
will leave the Taylor-street dock for
The Dalles Tuesday. Thursday and
Saturday nights, returning on alter
nate days. As soon as the J. N. Teal's
repairs are finished, she will be re
turned to this run and the two boats
will take alternate sailings, main
taining a schedule of a departure
every day both from Portland and
from The Dalles.
Olympian to Make Dally Trlpn.
The steamer Olympian, heralded by
her owners as "the queen of the
river," will make the round trip to
The Dalles daily when she goes on
her summer schedule. This vessel will
begin operating in about two weeks.
or as soon as the stage of water in the
Columbia permits.
The only changes contemplated for
the Joseph Kellogg by her new own
ers are the construction of a "Texas"
or deck house, and enlargement and
improvement of the crew quarters.
The Joseph Kellogg was built in
this city in 1900 and has been op
erated continuously since that time by
the ts-ellogg Transportation company.

cent announcement of the budget maci'e by

CRIPPLED SHIP IN PORT!
MULTNOMAH LIMPS IX AFTER
HARD LUCK VOYAGE.
Misfortunes Begin With Collision
at San Pedro With Xew
Vessel.
With her rudder connected to her
capstans by a jury rig, her tiller
snapped cleanly in two, the after
bulkhead on the port side ' carried
away and the engine-room windows
battered in by heavy seas, the steam
schooner Multnomah of the McCor
mick fleet limped into port yesterday
morning in tow of the tug Oneonta
and ended a hard-luck trip to and
from Portland by docking at the
American Kxchar.ge dock. She dis
charged her cargo of cement there,
and was towed' yesterday evening to
the McCormick shipyard at St. Helens,
where she will undergo repairs.
The misfortunes of the Multnomah
began when she reached San Pedro
harbor with a cargo of lumber from
the Columbia river. As the story is
told by Jack Pennington, purser of
the Multnomah, the little vessel was
steaming for her berth at San Pedro
when the steel shipping board steam
er West Nomentum, sliding down the
launching . ways, headed dlrectly
across the course of the Multnomah.
The Multnomah's speed was checked
and the big steamer struck her only
a glancing blow on the bow. Little
apparent damage was done by the
collision.
On her way back to Portland with
40 passengers and a large cargo, the
Multnomah encountered heavy weath
er a short distance below Tillamook
head and snapped the tiller.
The Multnomah will be lifted on the
ways at St. Helens for an examina
tion of her bow. It is feared that she
may be strained as the result of the
collision at San Pedro.
