kins Bros.' logging camp, as well as
much standing timber. The fires are
still burning and everything is very
dry.

number of the Xew York Marine Jour

"The excellent performance of the Shaw
Spiegle automatic steam towing ma
chines in towing the drydock Dewey
half way around the world is bringing
to the manufacturers of this device.
the American Ship Windlass Company,
of Providence, R. I., unsolicited testi
monials of the good work this machine
is doing elsewhere, of which the follow
ing letter fa a sample:
The Oregon Railroad A Navigation
Company, Astoria Station, July 20,
1906. American Ship Windlass Com
pany, R. I, Gentlemen: Will you kind
ly send me two or three of your cata
logues of your towing machines!
I have had some inquiries about
the one I have in use on the tug Ta
toosh, which you furnished four years
ago, and I would not run a tugboat
without one.
I am using the same hawser that
was put on the machine four years agj
this month and it is good yet. This
hawser has been bandied as many as
fourteen times in day on the Colum
bia River bar.
""Our machine is the No. 5, which is
two sizes larger than we need to have
for this work, but was purchased for
towing log rafts on the coast here,
where we use two tugs, one made fast
to the Tatoosh. Signed,
"C. T. BAILEY,
."'Master Tug Tatoosh.
"Before the Tatoosh was supplied
with a towing machine her attempts to
tow over bars of Pacific Coast ports
were frequently attended with the part
ing of ha)r manila hawsers and' the
towed vessel going ashore. The saving
in the cost of hawsers alone has been
worth a great deal to the Tatoosh. as
manila hawsers such as she would need
of the same strength and length as a
steel wire hawser would cost some
where around $700 or $800 each. A
wire hawser is handled as a matter of
course on the dram of the towing ma
chine, thereby saving a lot of time and
labor in hauling it inboard."

the Clatsop mill dock at 8 o'clock yes

Another fair sized audience witnessed
the performance of "East Lynne" at
