Has One Hundred and Twenty-Five Passengers and Cargo of Miacel laneous Freight Only Large Boat That Has Not Been Wrecked. Shortly after aha - had left - Portland laat night bound foxJSan .Francisco the steamer "Columbia, Captain Doran. struck a log raft and M disabled, but Just to what extent haa not yet been ascertained. The accident occurred near Swan Island and tha raft with which ahe collided waa moored at that point. The steamer -has not yet reached As toria and It la supposed that she is anchored somewhere while temporary repairs, are being made. A report of the mlahap was received this' morning by the local officials of the Una, but no details were given. It Is Inferred from this that the damage is rather slight and the craft will soon be 'able to re sume the voyage. She haa about US passengers on board and a full cargo of miscellaneous freight. It Is not be lieved that aha Is leaking. When a rumor of the mishap waa first going the rounds it was feared that tha Columbia had -plied up on tha "rocks alongside of tha Elder near Gobla. News to thla effect quickly spread and the details of ' another aupposed disaster were anxiously awaited. The Columbia . la tha only large ateamer which has been operated from Portland regularly during the past 11 months that haa not. been wrecked. Those which have bean badly dlaabled are tha St. Paul. Oregon, George w. St, Paul and Elder, were abandoned. while the othera have been repaired. It would be regarded as a great calamity If tha Columbia ahould be wrecked, aa aha is one of the moat popular steamers on the coaat and has been In continuous service for a longer period than any othar vessel plying out or Portland. -' Tha ateamer Ottawa, which arrived In port this afternoon, brlnga word that she sighted the ateamer Columbia Just off Falls Landing. There waa a heavy fog and as tha Ottawa did hot speak tha Columbia It la not known by the officers of the former whether the Columbia waa simply standing by to await tha lifting of the fog or to make repairs. FACTS ABOUT TUL Life Preservers Made of This nbstaaoe Oood Walls They taat. Agenta of ateamahlp companies are much afraid that the use of tule life preservers will be forbidden- by .the government soon after .the official In vestigation Into the Valencia dlaaater IS ended. 3 The tule Ja already, sooch In disfavor With tha general public, which haa been led to believe that more Uvea from the Valencia might have been saved had tha Ufa preservers been mads of cork. : A number of years ago there was hardly a steamer plying up and down the eoaat which waa aupplled-wltH"tal' preservers. - Many of . the owners did not think they were any good and would not allow them on board their craft. But recently they have stood exceptionally high teats given by the United Statea Inspectors, and thslr use Is now almoat universal along the Pa clflo coaat. - They are much cheaper than the cork preserver. Tha tule life preserver does not laat nearly so long aa that made of cork. When ths tule preaervera on any vea ael begin- to turn brown or show the slightest Indication of rotting they are condemned by the Inspectors and the craft held In port until It haa been aupplled with new equipment. It Is held that until tha tule reaches a cer tain age It la all right so far aa buoy ancy la concerned, and will not get "waterlogged" eaaliy. Tha enda of the tulea are wrapped (Irmly with fine wire, which preventa water from soaking Into them. - . But when tha stalks of the tules get old they become hard and brittle, break ing with the allghteat touch. When In that condition It is generally agreed that they are unserviceable. Some of tha steamboat men themselves aay they never had any great amount of faith In the tule life preserver. They laat so ahort a time and require conatant In spection to see that they are safs to uae. TO BULKHEAD DOCK. Step to Be Takes to Frevent rael Oil riowlag Xato Biver.

It la the intention to take stepa to atop tha flow Jus,t aa quick ly aa possible. It la alleged that fuel oil haa been pouring into the river from the dock In. -a. steady stream for-tn paet-day-or two, polluting the water and making It necessary for every vessel passing In that immediate vicinity to be hauled out on the ways and cleaned. It Is claimed that more or leaa oil has escaped into tha river from tha pmnt at the foot of Flanders street.for.lhe past-two years. One of the agents at a ooca in mat neighborhood aays that tha gaa fumes are so atrong at times ss to be almost unendurable.
