The craft was anchored In the middle of the Co lumbia yesterday and today. Two anchors were thrown out up stream and one down stream. The heavy timber of the decking of a small bridge, spiked together, came floating down the river, caught the anchor lines and were car ried against the barge. The four-Inch pipe, with a two and a half-Inch pipe Inside of It. had been forced feet below the bottom of the river. When the timbers struck the pipe and the end of the barge the sm-tft current against the decking snapped the tubes and tipped the barge until one end was eight feet out of water. Anchors were dragged and the barge, with seven men on IV was carried lo0 feet down stream before It could be released. Tbe Tomcat was brought to the city dock.

True, 'twas for 6 months only, but soon we followed with a new model and a two-year guarantee. NOW Heating element in our 1912 Model "H" H0TP0INT is Guaranteed 5 Years Electric Flatiron Exchange Offer If you have an Electric Flatiron made by the Pacific Electric Heating Company, no matter how old it is, no matter what its condition is, no matter if the guarantee expired long ago, no matter if it is just so much junk, if you have the bottom you can exchange it for an improved 1912 MODEL II0TP0INT with the heating element guaranteed for five years on these terms : . Take the old iron to your lighting company or to any dealer named below and they will accept it as 2-5 payment for an improved H0TP0INT Electric Iron, which sells regularly for $3.00 In other words your old iron and $3.00 will entitle you to an Improved Hotpoint Electric Iron the handsomest, most efficient, and greatest labor-saving iron made. the old was good the new is better Vast improvements have been made in Hotpoint Electric Irons during the last few years. "While the old Hotpoint Iron was the best in its day, compared with the 1912 Model it U a clumsy affair and unhandsome. The Improved Hotpoint is a beauty in appearance and is the most efficient iron made today. It's more economical, too; con Fumes less electric current. . .. the hot point In ironing damp clothes the point of the iron becomes cool, which is a disadvantage, so we madeour iron with a heating element that would keep the point hot, hence the name HOTPOINT. -the cool handle Every 'woman who has ever ironed knows the comfort value of a cool handle no burning the hands no holder to bother with. The Hotpoint iron has an asbestos pad in side the iron which positively deflects the heat from the handle toward the sole of the iron where it is needed. -the attached stand Think of the continual wear and tear on a woman's strength and nerves when she has to lift the iron from the stove to the stand and from the stand to the board hundreds of times a day. No lifting with the Hotpoint iron the stand is attached just turn the iron upon end. No lifting, no trouble, fine!
