ENRAGED GOB I'illS UPON
STEAMER AGENT-
Sold Tickets for Passage on Yo--,
semite, but Vessel Did Not
: ; Stop Tor Them.
'' William H. Baker, agent at Oak street
dock, was up against an enraged mob
Christmas day and for a while It looked
aa It his fate might have been to fur
nish food for tha fishes. The crowd
Included men, women and children to
the number of IS, and every one seemed
determined to get retribution. It hap
pened that Agent Baker had sold the
above mentioned crowd tickets on the
steam schooner Tosemita to Ban Fran
cisco. The fine and commodious craft
was scheduled to sail from Rainier a
day or so beiore Christmas, but she did
not touch here, and so Agent Baker sent
the passer gers to Astoria, where. In his
opinion, they would ba sura . to catch
the boat.
' But either Captain Johnson of the
Tosemlte did not understand his In
structions or else he Ignored them, for
when h left the river he never looked
toward Astoria, but passed right on In
the middle of the channel over tha bar
and out to sea. Tha passengers, who
had lugged their baggage to the Astoria
wharf, waved handkerchiefs and yelled
themselves into hysterica at the passing
craft, but this availed nothing, for with
out even blowing a salute, she churned
onward until hr smoke finally disap
peared in the distance Ilka a speck of
cloud. ,
A 'long and spirited indignation meet
ing was beld right then and there by the
disappointed passengers, and It waa de
cided to return to Portland and get even
with the man who had sold the stripe
of paper Vhat entitled them to a first-
class passage on the boat that had left
them at tha mercy of the Astoria hotel
men. ' t '
Returning to Portland, 'the disappoint
ed travelers promised to sue the com
pany and take the steam schooner Tose
mlte bodily for tha trouble, not to men
tion what they Intended doing to Agent
Baker, but the agent's winning ways
finally made good and tha passengers
departed from the dock with their fares
refunded In addition to tha money they
had expended on tha . little 'side trip to
the city by the sea. Now Agent Baker
thinks he had a close call, and yet he
waa not to, blame.

bis pocket and swallowed tha poison.
He wss found writhing on ths doorstep
and waa removed to tha hospital, whsre
prompt attention saved his Ufa.
The Shawhans had been married sev
eral years. Mrs. Shawhan Is an artist
of considerable reputation In San Fran
cisco, and aome of her work haa been
commented upon favorably In other
cltlea .
Shawhan cams to Portland in tha faU
of ItOS. Ho was on his way to San
Francisco from Alaska, and atopped ever
to tell the people that the officers of
the exposition' were engaged In a big
graft Persons who heard him talk
declared that, ha had a "flat wheel" In
his head, and soon ha was unable to find
any listeners. Then he started a paper.
Ha bought tha Oregon Booster from
Coulter At Dawson, changed Ita name
to the Saturday Evening Review, an-1
arranged for Its publication by the Met
ropolitan Printing company at 147 Front
street - Ha rented desk room from the
company and on September SO his -first

It except newspaperman, to whom he
sent free copies. Hundreds were left
over, but this did not worry Shawhan. -
"Wait till the people know that I ant
tha editor," ba told an employe of tha
company very confidently. "When they
sea my name at the head of the column
tha Review will sell like hotcakea I'll
flood the exposition grounds with them.
They'll go like wildfire. Children will
cry for them. I'll drive President Ooode

fifth Isues hs attacked Mr. Ooode per
sonally. He intended to publish his
masterpteoe In his sixth issue, but he
failed to do so, because the sixth Issue
never saw the light of day. Shawhan
was busy at his copy ona morning, when
an acquaintance asked blm how tha
Rsvlew was getting along.
"People don't seem to want It," an
swered Shawhan complalnlngly.
"Probably they don't know yon are
