THE COLUMBIA
CHIEF HAS SUNK
Went Down Last Night With 100
Tons 04 Coal
The coal barge Columbia Chief, belong,
lng to the O. R. A N.. and which was
lying at the AInsworth dock, sank last
night with about 100 tons of coal on
board. Just the top of the structure is
visible above the surface of the water.
The vessel is old and has been in poor
condition fo some time. She will be
moved from the river,, and probably
burned, as her days of usefulness are
considered at an end.
INTERESTING HISTORY.
The old Columbia Chief has an Inter
esting hlsfpry. She has been in service
hfie for nearly a quarter qf a century,
having been built by the Willamette River
and Transportation Company in 1878 for
the purpose of lightering vessels between
Portland, and Astoria. About two years
later the Q, R. A N. purchased her, and
she has been put to some use ever since.
At the time of her construction and for
several succeeding years vessels draining
It feet of water could not go down the
river without having a portion of her
cargo transferred to a barge, and here is
where the Columbia Chief came In bandy.
Her timbers are now unsound from age
and are beyond repair. With her passing
away one of the old relics of the river
has been taken out of service.
EMPIRE
POLITICS
Convention Called to Or
der at Noon0dell
for Governor.
SARATOGA. N. Y.. Sept. 23-The Re
publican state convention was called to
order at noon. The opunlng speech of
Lemuel E. Uulgg, the temporary chair
man, sounded what seems to be the gen
eral feeling. He referred briefly to the
death of SIcKlhley .and paid high tribute
to the Rot.eveJt administration and laud
ed the Philippine policy. He attributed
the country's prosperity to sound money
nrd a protective tariff. The convention
then adjourned till 4 o'clock.
The convention will have some very
Important questions to discuss, the most
prominent Is that with reference to the
Indorsement of President Roosevelt. The
attitude he has assumed in the lust few
duys, a'uJ especially that In his speech at
I.ogansport, lnd., has raised a great ileal
of serious comment, and there Is no tell
ing what view the delegates will take of
the situation.
The slate, with Governor Odell at Its
head, has already been made up and
everything, with this pne. exception, will
probably go through as prepared. In
the platform there is a resolution in
dorsing the President and everything In
the Administration, .but whether it will
go through without several amendments
or not is a question.
As for the. nomination of a candidate
for Governor is concerned. Governor
Odell has a steel-trap grip on It and he
will no doubt recelv the nomination
without a struggle. In fact he has already
been practically decided upon by almost
every delegate to the convention.
DEATH WHILE FISHING.
SKATTLE, Sept. 23. Information has
ecn received In this city that Chief En
gineer M C. Grorey and one of the fire
men of the steamer Jeanie were drowned
recently in Chignlk Bay, while out in a
fcc at fishing.
The news was brought to San Fran
cisco by the steamer Kvtchak, which ar
rived there yesterday from Bristol Bay
and Chirnik. The Kvtchak left Chignlk
Ray nine days ago, so It is presume that
it was shortly before that time that the
ac-ldent occurred.
Knp'neer Grorey waa one of the best
end most reliable marine engineers In the
servloe on the Coast. He had been with
the Jeanie for a year and a half.

steam was created, and the Iron exploded
with the above results.
EXPLO9I0N TERRIFIC.
The force of the explosion was terrlfle,
and flying missiles went in every" direc
tion. Particles of Iron were thrown over
a hundred feet, and at a distance of 6U
feet a number of windows were broken.
Highlander and Duff each lost an arm,
and had they been struck on a vital part
of the body would have been killed in
stantly. The detached members lying by
the men presented a sickening appear
ance. An ambulance was procured and
they were taken to the fleod Samaritan
Hospital. It Is believed that Shields, who
Is but 18 years of age, is not very serious
ly hurt Highlander Is resting easy and

age and bas a wife and four children.
Duff was about 25 andl unmarried. His
parents live In Woodlawn.
Sound Goods
"The days of P. T. Barnum methods In
merchandising: are gone," says Dan Mc
Allen. "Sound goods and honest values
are what people want and what the
merchant must give to succeed these
days. Fake advertisements will draw
trade but it never will hold It.
"We do not claim to sell a BO-cent ar
ticle for 29 cents, but we do claim to
sell for 29 cents an article that other
stores charge 60 cents for. Our state
ments In our 'ads.' we are very careful
to carry out to the letter It pays us. It
maKes selling goods easier, it makes
steady customers of transients and it
gains for us the confidence of the people.
It has always been our aim that MoAIlen

goods and honest values."

BANK WRECKED. !
Horrible Death of Han Who Hand

SEATTLE. Bept tS. Additional partic
ulars of the dynamiting of the Canadian
Bank o Commerce at 8kagway on the
afternoon of Monday, September Ifi, fere
brought from the North on the steamer
Humboldt, wbjon arrived yesterday. The
crime was committed about I o'clock in
the afternoon. At that hour the stranjger
entered the bank and demanded $20,000,
under threat to blow the place up with
dynamite unless big demands were com
plied with. Mr, Wallace and Mr. Pooler,
two of tbe bank's employes, ra fused the
demand and made 4 break for a tlace of
safety. As thy did so the bomb which
the would-be robber held in his hand was
exploded, completely wrecking the bulk!
lng.
Tbe victim of tbe rash act was torn,
lacerated and burned, and was a horrible
sight to behold. His clothes had been all
but blown oft him. Both eyes were blown
away and only bloody sockets were In
their place. His nose was broken and
bleeding and the right hand was tron In
pieces. The thumb was blown completely
away and the ends of the Index and mid
dle finger had only ragged stubs left -
The whole body was burned and black'
ened and presented a horrifying appear
ance. He was still breathing, however,
and was dragged out onto the sidewalk.
The havoc wrought by tbe explosion In
the bank was something terrific. Every
portion of th plastering on the walls and
celling were blown to the floor, a great
Jagged hole la blown through the floor
immediately In front of the ledger win
dow, where the man was standing; much
of the lathing wag torn from place and a
big ugly hole extendi in the stairway.

SALEM, Sept 21 Before the end of an
other week hop-picWpg wi,H haya J?gm
uuianeu. anu me mux crop win oe in uiu
bale, and on the market. In the majority
of yards where e. very light crop was es
timated, the yield "has proven much larg
er than was anticipated, and there are a
number of dealers who persist in adher
ing to their earlier estimate of between
85,000 and 90,900 bales for the state. The
market has notfopened up as yet, but
about 8Q per aeiit of the crop la picked,
and nearly all Of. that !n the bale, and
the dealers have begun to get into the
country to take lh .their early contracts.
Bo far, very few sales have been report
ed, but a small lot Was Said to have been
t ought yesterday' for 20 cents, but the
quality in this case ''Was hardly up to
prime. No quotations have been made
upon choice goods, land the dealers u
not look-for much activity tn the martfer
until tbe contracts are pretty well closed
up.
Of the J9pS .crap. , JJUli ,eUmated-. that
about 30,000 bales have been contracted
out and out. and (hi will: amount to In
the neighborhood of 60,000 bales, with the
surplus over contracted amounts. All of
the dealers, however, are sharpening up
their sampling tools, and making prep
arations for a lively season, and tbe pros
pects for a good market later on, If not
n the start. Is quite flattering.
