OCEAN, BAR,
BAY. DOCK
AND RIVER
One of the chief matters of marine
interest in this port st present is the
projected trip of the steam launch
"Requa" hence to San Francisco,
with Mr. Fay, of Fay Brothers, of
San Francisco, her owners, Captain
Leighton of the bar pilots, and Chief
Engineer Nick Clinton, on board.
The "Requa" is all housed in with
false work and practically ready for
her voyage. She will leave down at
10 oclock this morning to test her
action on the Columbia bar, and in
rough water generally, after which
she will return to this city snd fit out
to the last detail if all works well
with her on the trail. It is the purpose
of Captain Leighton, her pilot, to
take the inshore course, keep a sharp
lookout on the weather and make a
dash for the nearest shelter on the
appearance of storm signs. She will
probably get away on Saturday morn
ing if everything works to the satis
faction of those who are responsible
for the hazard of her going.
Another matter of some concern
here and which is still shrouded In
impenetrable mystery, is what action
the Port of Portland (several mem
bers of which were here yesterday
looking over the handsome bar
schooner Joseph Pulitzer), intends to
take in the purchase of that vessel
and of the bar tug Wallula. Of course
it is nobody's business, but that does
not bar, nor deprecate, the natural
curiosity incident to the affair in thia
Ihe steamer Lurhne was at her
dock when the Astoria clocks struck
4 yesterday afternoon, and Harry
Blanchard is now calling her the
Nyerline." When she went up last
evening at 7 o'clock, she had on
board: G V. Woods, Miss N. D. An
derson, E. Harris and C Smith.
The Hammond liner Geo, W. Fen
wick cleared from here yesterday for
San Pedro, Cal, with nearly 2,00,000
feet of lumber from the owning com
pany s plant at Tongue Point She
will probably sail this morning.
Captain Schroeder has recovered
his health sufficiently to warrant his
rejoining his ship, the Sue H. Elmore,
and is now in command at Portland
She is due down tonight or in th'e
morning, en route to Tillamook City.
The bar rug Wallula will go under
federal inspection today. Captains
Edwards and Fuller overhauling- her.
During her tie-up the Tatoosh will go
in commission for duty on the bar.
The Engineers' steamer Arago ar
rived down from Portland yesterday
afternoon, with a tow on her lines, a
heavy cargo of gravel and sand, for
the new construction work at Fort
Stevens.

Captain Biebenberg of the German
steamship "Hermonthis" reports that
on February 4. 1909. at 11:25 p. m. he
passed Corinto Lighthouse and saw
nothing of the light. The Pilot in
formed him that repairs were being
made to the light, and that it was not
known when it would again be in
operation.

very dangerous reef about 150 feet
long and 75 feet wide and about seven
feet of water over it at low tide.
The oil tank steamer Roma was an
other arrival in this port yesterday.
She also went up the Columbia, the
Williamette; the same old devious
course to Portland.
The steamer Senator is due at the
O. R. tc N. piers at midnight tonight
and will leave out at once for San
Francisco. Among her passengers
from this port will be the Misses Ida
Kekkala and Lina Onnela.

o'clock this morning, en route to

Angeles.
The schooner Luzon, Captain Ben
son, departed for the open sea on the
tow line of the Wallula yesterday
morning, and sailed for the Califor
nia coast.
The steamship Breakwater arrived
down from Portland early yesterday
morning and went to sea and Marsh
field at once, with good business on
all her decks.
The steamer General Washington
has returned from St. John's, where
she was on the drydock for a general
overhauling. She resumed her Deep
River run yesterday afternoon.
The steamer Argo is not due to
leave the metropolis for Tillamook
until Sunday next.
ine steamer Yellowstone went
over the bar yesterday morning with
her big cargo of piling and ties from
Stella, and bound for San Pedro.
There was consumatcd in this cfty
yesterday an achievement that
brought intense aratitkation to Ed.
Llewellyn and all the boys of Hose
N'o. 1, at the corner of Fourth and
Astor streets, being no less a thing
than the reaving of a brand new set
of flag halliards from the top of the
1 10-foot pole that has stood there for
the past 18 years, and for 10 of which
they have been unserved, the young
sters at the old OIncy school having,
as one of their pet indulgences, cut
the old halliards, pulled them out of
the block at the polchead, and made
them into jumping-ropes for the
scores of kiddies then in attendance
there.
Ever since the fire department took
up its quarters in the building and the
school passed to other quarters, Ed.
Llewllyn snd his colleagues have
wanted those halliards served again,
but have never found anyone plucky
enough to tackle the supposedly rot
ten staff; plenty of men were agile
and handy enough, but they all had
an exaggerated idea of the insecurity
of the timber and declined to ascend
it.
Yesterday morning, there appeared
at the fire quarters there, a hardy
looking young man, who gave his
name as D. O. Kennedy, who pre
sented his card signifying that he
was a steeplejack, lrom Los Angeles,
and asked Mr. Llewellyn if he knew
of any work in his line. It instantly
occurred to he well known driver
that here was a chance to achieve the
long-desired task of fixing up the
companys pole for flag use. and he
named the matter to Mr. Kennedy.
An examination was made of the
timber at the sidewalk base, and the
cornice of the building against which
the pole is banded in with iron, and
Kennedy declared he would do it for
modest sum, whereupon the "boys
chipped in to the amount named and
after receiving the assurance from
the man from Los Angeles that he
would hold them harmless from all
bad results that might ensue, he
shinned up the wavering, swaying
pole like a kitten, served the line
through the block and brought it
down and turned the free end over
to Llewellyn, the whole transaction
occupying exactly 14 minutes.
In less time than that, a fine
example of "old Glory'" was floating
from the masthead, the first emblem
of honor in behalf of Inauguration
Day to be sent aloft in this city.
Mr. Kennedy said that he found the
pole stiff and steady and good for ten
years more of service. He cut into
the base and found that it had rot
ted to a depth of four inches, and
this decay gradually reduced itself as
it ascended and the upper and major
part of the pole was practically sound
as a dollar. At all events, the work
is well done and Hose No. 1 men are
mighty glad of it. Their flag will now
fly upon all proper occasions.

The sad intelligence reached this
city, from two sources, yesterday, of
the accidental death of a young
Clatsopian, Herbert Butterfield, a
student of Stanford University; the
first coming from the hand of Mrs.
C. A. Gearhart, an aunt of the unfor
tunate youth, who was apprised by
mail, of the sad circumstance, from 1
Angleton, Texas, by Hayden Butter-1
field a brother; and the other intima
tion reaching this office by way of a '
marked copy of the account of the I
death in the Daily Columbian of New
Westminster, B. C, which is append
ed hereto.
Young Mr. Butterfield, was just 25
years of age, and was a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles B. Butterfield, and
was born on the family farm on Clat
sop Plains; the entire family being
well and happily known all over this
section of Oregon. Mrs. Butterfield,
who has been a widow, is wintering
this year with two sons, Charles and
Hayden, at Angleton, Texas, and re
ceived the shocking news from the
north on the 27th of last month. The
subject of this unhappy account was
a fine, manly fellow, a devoted stu
dent; and a young man of excellent
character and bright prospects- He
was a nephew of Mrs. S. L. Byrd and
of J. W. Gearhart.
The published story of the- acci
dent, as given by the Columbian,
above alluded to, is as follows:
"The accidental death of Herbert
Butterfield, a Stanford University
student, who was well known in this
city, is reported from the Squamish
valley and friends have one north
to remove the body to this city for
interment. The young man lost his
life last Wednesday morning through
the accidental discharge of a rifle, the
explosion having occurred, so far as j
has been learned, while lie was re-;
moving it from a shelf in the cabin.
"Messrs. Madden, the mail carrier,
If. McKecn, and an Indian freighter,
called Jimmy, called at Butterfield'
cabin on Wednesday to tell him that
they had brought up a stove for him
in their canoe. They found the young
man sick in bed, but he got up and
cooked dinner for the party. After
dinner Madden and McKecn started
out towards the river to return with
