Captain Tipton, master of th United

oiled tn BC Paul on September 1. at the
advanced' a of Si yaara was wall and.
favorably known by many of the riveri
men of Portland. For mor than S
years h had been In th government
service, but h had been stsamboatina;
on th Mississippi, th Missouri and
Ohio fivers during tha paat half century.
Many of th local steamboatmen were
formerly associated with him when he
waa pry In- up and down th "Father of

captain entered-tha overnment service.
David B. Ofdon, assistant United State
engineer, became acquainted with him
and waa on of hla warm personal

of that oldl Mississippi river activity
which at on time was a distinctive
phase of American life. It was a pictur
esque Ufa. .th Ilk of which will never
b seen again on tba American continent.
"Caxrtaln Davy had been a pilot oa tb
Ohio. Mississippi and Missouri rivers
for M years. H waa th only man who
positively . knew th three monster
streams. He knew by nam every Island

for hla eyea, Instead of an Irregular
ditch submerged beneath muddy water.
He knew every rapid in - tb oouraea of
th rlvsrs. Captain Davy nvr need
ed to employ a special pilot to fuld him
safely over th formidable Bock Island
rapid.
-Davy cloaeat friend Id byfon day
hi faithful dog Toby, commonly
known a Toby Tip. Thla animal waa a
clever water spaniel, and up to the time
of hla death nine years ago was tb ob
ject ef th old man's greatest aoHdtude
and love. Toby always slept in tb can-
tain's ekbln, and always received his
food from th captain's own hands.
"Toby knew many tricks, and - tha
proudest moments f hm master's life
war when he gave particularly clever
exhibitions of hi dexterity. Whan h
misbehaved, a (loom a of great grief

Tb big aercentag frn favor of the

th past few days, have arrived at the
conclusion that th steamer ta going to
