Weiss Is wearily waiting In her com
fortable little cottage at Union Court.
Long Island, for th return of her
spouse, a sea captain, whom the ele
ments have mad prisoner at the other
end of the world. .,
Over a year ago the Joy Steamship
compsny engaged Weiss to take charge
of the dismantled hull of the steamer
Olympian which their sgents had bought
In Portland, Oregon. With a crew Cap
tain Weiss left New York in September,
1906, and traveled overland to San
Francisco and thence to Portland. On
Janusry SI of this year the Olympian,
In tow of the steamer Zealandla, left
Portland for Naw York by way of Cape
Horn. ,
All went wall until March 18, when
th steamer reached the Strait of Ma
gellan. After passing through and
when it was about to enter tbe Atlantic
the steamer encountered a terrific gale.
Captain John Roberta was forced to
cut loose from his tow and leave Cap
tain Welas to battle alone with the
elements until the storm abated. The
Olympian was blown In shore. She ran
her nose straight Into a sandbar and
lay there helpless. With each hour the
steamer pushed farther Into the sand.
The following morning, the storm hav
ing abated somewhat. Captain Roberts
returned with the Zealandla and ef
forts were made to pull the Olympian
off bult without avail. Soon the Olym
pian was Imbedded In thousand of tons
of sand.
After a consultation between th cap
tain it wa decided that the Zealandla
ahould go on alone to New Tork and
ths Olympian be left In Captain Weiss'
charge until more aid could be sent to
the wreck. Captain Weiss, with a mate
and two men, is now a prisoner off the
coaat of Patagonia, at Ponterino, the
Straits of Magellan. Fortunately the
prisoner can gat ashore and procure
meat - and vegetable from th naUve
Patagontans. .
The Olympian is a 1,080-ton ateamsr,
800 feet long and 78 feet beam.
Captain Jacob Weiss, referred to In
the above dispatch from Naw York,
waa In Portland for several month be
fore the Olympian was taken Into San
Francisco. He superintended the work
of fitting her out for th long trip
around th Horn to Naw York and en
gaged th craw That want away on her.
He 1 on of the old-time Atlantic coaat
kipper and was perfectly confidant
upon leaving here that the Olympian
would make the trip tn aafety. Some
of th crew who want from here left at
San Francisco, so It Is not believed that
many of the man -who signed her are
now with th veteran sea dog, who has
chosen to deprive himself of the pleas
ure of the company of his family for
a long period of time In order to. If pos
sible, succeed in bringing his vessel to
her destination. ,
The Olympian waa sold by th O. R.
a N. company toC L Dlmon, represent
ing her present owners. The Olympian,
In Janusry last, Immediately after be
ing purchased by Mr. Dlmon. wa towed
from the Columbia river to San Fran
cisco by th tug Dauntless. At San
Francisco th steamship Zealandla,
which- was purchased by Mr. Dlmon at
th same time, wa la readiness to tow
th steamboat on her 14,000-mile voy
age to New York. In order to offer th
least resistance in the water, the buck
et of th Olympian' paddle wheel
were removed.
SMALLPOX IN STELLA IS

Dr. Wheeler Notifies Steamboat
Companies to Use Care in
Bringing People Here.
Several cane of smallpox exist In
Stalls, Washington, and Dr. Wheeler,
city health officer, haa notified the
steamboat companies that unusual ear
must be preserved in flinging passen
ger from that town to Portland.
A short time ago th Washington
Vtate board of health made an Investi
gation of th alleged "measles" at Stella
and found that smallpox existed there.
Th quarantine was not strictly ob
served with the patient and there waa
considerable danger of th disease

will take some anion a soon as Dr.

rich producing oil lands of the English Syndicate, one of
whose gushers is within a short distance of the line di

This gusher from an eleven and five eighths (11) inch hole

A Profit of Sixty-Two and a Half for One
The Anglo-American Oil & Coal Company, formed and in
corporated by well known, responsible business men of
Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, is now de
veloping its large and valuable holdings, and from all in
dications it is certain that large fortunes will be made by
thoSe who engage in the enterprise.
The company also has determined to set aside from the sale
of its capital stock a fund with which to purchase such
patented coal claims as can be obtained in this fabulous
ly rich coal district, .the product of which is not sur
passed anywhere in the world.
Beginning Monday, October 8, the first small allotment of
stock of the company will be offered for public subscrip
tion at a very low ground-floor figure, and considering
the standing in Portland of the officers of the company
this allotment will be subscribed in a very short time.
A careful consideration of the possibilities which this com
paTiy offers will prompt you to at once inform yourself
as to the character ofthe company's holdings, which of
fer a greater field for development in oil and coal than
Pennsylvania or any other field in the world.
