Boats Through Three-Mil Rapids in High. Water. OPEN RIVER COMPANY SEES RAILROAD HAND , Officials Say .Objection to Running 3oata Through Rapida la for the Purpoe of Throwing All Buainesa to Rail Line.' . ." ' Temporarily the portage road will o . , laie, and the Open Blvtr Traniporti' tlon company will discontinue the buii- tiess of handling- through freight from Portland to points on the upper Co lumbia. This condition has - been , , brought' about 1 by. the refusal, of 4the regulator Itne to handle the company a buainesa through Three-Mile rapid, the explanation being given that they are dangerous .during the high-water stage ... or the river.-.- : , Officials of the Open River Transpor- i tatlon company are of the opinion that . the stand taken by the Regulator line " Is Merely assumed for the purpose of 1 throwing the traffic to the railroad com pany. It la, declared that a strong aentl v ment has been In. process of develop ... ment during the past few weeks against . the Open River company, supposed to have been Instigated principally by the railroad Interests. : If the Q.R. U N. and the north bank roads have no oppo- i sltlon, it is pointed out, they will 'secure - all the traffic. Consequently It Is argued 'that it would be to their Interest If the Independent boat ' line which is being . established were forced to abandon the route and the sooner the better. The open river people are determined '.' to go ahead .with their, plana at all ' hazards. They are already negotiating ' for other boats to transport freight . from Portland to the portage road. It is declared that there ts no danger. whatever In wending boats through Three' Mils rapids at any season of the year. The government baa recently cleared the channel of all obstructions. "".Many of the liver captains who arc ac ; qualnted with the situation say the : channel Is perfectly safe. If It la not, .. they are wondering-at thegreat ex- penae'to which the federal government ts going to build a canal around- the obstructions at Celllo. for when" that great waterway has been built, boats .- will still be obliged to go through Three Mile rapids. v TTntll otherrfngmelltg-nave-1itr complet ed the open river - people : will i place the; steamer. Mountain Oem in service carrying freight to the contrac- '. tors who are building the railroad down j the north bank of the Columbia. The Regulator Interests are willing; to trans- . port the" freight - for the. open river - men as far as The palle. When this fact' became known, I the former . were thinking " seriously "of sending, the -freight the rest of the distance to the portage road by- means of wagon teams, but later, derided that the., undertaking would be too expensive. . , , ; .WHEN THE MATE RULED. PA ROAD ' e Ordered That Wew Sailor 7M Doused "With Twenty Bneketa of Water.. Tor three hours, while en route from " Europe to Portland, Captain Reusser, . master of tho. French bark Francois d'Ambols, says he was merely a spec tator on bis vessel, for his mate had full .- 1 charge. The skipper as well as all of ,1he other members- of the crew were - - subject to the most unreasonable orders " from the temporary commander. ;' It was while the ship was crossing the equator. Six of the sailors were out on "their first voyagev When neartng the " laglnAry lino It was decided "to carry ont and old-time old torn and Initiate the new seamen. So the skipper turned over the -vessel -to his first mate and gave htm permission to conduct matters for the .-.next three hours In any manner to suit ''-.his fancy. ;--- ----- , ;The first act of the mate was to as- - ' cend to a point near the top of the main mast, . Then he came down slowly and " made the announcement that he was Father Neptune and that all of those within sound of his .voice were In his exclusive dominion.- The-new- sailors looked at him In astonishment,' thinking that he had lost his reason. When the , mate ordered the captain and a number -ef other -tars to drench the green hands - with JO buckets of water, they were positive that he was craxy. But their - surprise was far greater when the cap- tain and' a number of the 'sailors pro- - ceeded to carry out the ordera. Then the new sailors . were thrown down and tied. Their faces were painted with charcoal. They were cuffed sound-. , ly and dragged about the deck. To-tor-A ture them further, their persecutors set a table laden with all of the delicacies that the larder contained. Sparkling ' wine was produced a hd all sat down and .enjoyed a feast while the. hejpless men looked on and groaned.. "It was fine fun," said the captain.. "After the lapse of about three hours.' we told the new men . they had now T crossed the equator and they could con ' alder themselves seasoned sailors. On A being made acquainted with the -loke, j they appeared to appreciate It as much " as we did. u They are now waiting .for an opportunity .. to try. the experiment - on" some on.", -f -.- - TO WIDEN CHANNEL. . . S red ge Columbia Will. Make Passage Six Bundled Tee Wlde : . Between the beacon below the Port land Flouring mills and the. Oceanic dock, the dredge Columbia la at work digging out the ship channel to an ad ditional width of 800, feet. On comple- tlon of the task, the channel will have a width of 600 feet and be about 26 feet deep., The Inereased width la being riven in order to have ample space for , the ships which may want to drop anchor in ths stream for a short time. ' ' Under the present arrangement, the vessels anchorlnr out In 'the river are a source of annoyance to the shipping Interests on account of the narrowness cf the channel.. There Is not sufficient . room for two of them to stand abreast ' without the waterway being, blocked. An ordinance makes It. Imperative for the craft to be anchored on the west "side of the river. - - With the additional width of 100 feet, it Is held that -H-of the Inconveniences of . the pest In this respect will be dis pensed with. If necessary. It will , be possible for three or four vessels to lie alongside of each other' without the channel being blocked. 'At thla season ff the year, when shipping , Is rsthet slack. It la said thai the channel Is sufficiently wide to meet all demands, but the Port bf Portland members want to get matters properly arranged " for next fall and winter, while the dredge has nothing else Important to' do.
