Coast .; : ' WINDJAMMER CARRIES ONLY A FEW SAILORS Dope Are Stllf Held Out for Safety of the Missing Vessel Which Is .Supposed to Hav Drifted Far Out ' to Sea b Easterly Wind. J ' - 'Th tag Samaon. Captain Jones, la en ; ths war up th river tbla afternoon after bavin abandoned tha search for th American bark Big Bonanza, which ha wa forced to let so off Coo bay "while towing her from San Francisco . to foruana. . Although having- covered a great area of the ocean, nothing waa aeen of the mlsalng bark and the ques : tloa whether or not aha rode out the atorm become more grave. ..-' The Samson left San Francisco with the Big Bonanza attached to the big hawaer on the first of the rear. Every- thing-was t-weU-tiatU-th afternoon, of the third, when a fearful gale sprang tip and - lashed tlte sea, Into terrible waves. The tug labored with her tow until finally during the night the bits began to give and it, became necessary ' to let go the tow In order to save the tug. - The ' waves were waahlng clear over her and it was with difficulty that she managed to put Into Marshfleld for shelter and temporary repairs. Twice Immense seas flooded her and nesrly put' out, the-fires In the engine-room. The Big Bonansa had to be left to her " fate with a crew of six men on board, and when the tug pullul away-Captain .' Jones feared that it meant tb laat of the windjammer, which was then trail ing behind and pounding heavily In the ponderous seas. She waa riding high because or being lightly, ballssted, and, ,,, this led to the belief that she went on her beam ends shortly ; after having been left to her own resources. With the tug holding her bead on, there wss little danger of her- turning over, but '' it was feared that when let loose she would eon-fall rn-the-trough of tha ea' and- go over, . ' Not' receiving any word of the bark having drifted ashore. Captain ' Jones decided to go out and find her, and last Monday the tug ateamed out ol Marsh field. She reached Aatorta at t o'clock - this morning with the report that not a trace had been seen of the missing bark. Immediately" after making this . report, the tug started for Portland, to takoa-unpUeaV:::- i .. While tb bark la knowntohave been left In poor condition to battle with-the lementrthef are many who ; believe that ahe Is suit afloat and that - t eh wflj eventually work back to the Co lumbia river. - In support of this theory Is the fact that nearly ever sine the vessel was abandoned by the tug east . erly winds have prevailed. With west erly winds the bark would hardly have been able to keep clear of the ahor .'. because of having such a email crew , and probably being short of eanvaa, but . with the wind blowing offshore aha could drift before- the wind -and wait ' for a favorable wlhd to carry her back. ' This morning the wind veered around to ' the west and this will probably result .In the appearance of the bark oft the bar In a few day. ' - " The Big Bonansa Is under charter to ' load lumber for San Francisco. She -completed her first voyage In. the trade ; a few weeks ago. She was built SI " " years ago In ' Newbnrrport,- Maasaclra 1 "sett. ' - SAYS WOOD WAS WET Superintendent of Dredges Speaks Plainly to Oommisalon.' The Port of Portland eommlislon held . as uninteresting meeting yesterday af t- ernoon. the question of wood for the - dredge being about the only matter of Importance brought up aalde from' the '' regular routine, auch a paaalng upon bill and communication of ordinary 'Character, .' Superintendent Groves of the dredge : stated to the eommlsaloner that the ' fuel furnished for tha dredge Columbia . by the Banfleld-Veyeey Fuel company during the month of November- we -of . very poor quality, ana xor um reason tha amount eonaumed during the month waa much greater than ordinarily. Thla wood queatlon had been up before, but was revived becauae ef a letter received from M. C Banfield la which he assert that the wood was of good quality. . Commissioner Swlgert who attended the meeting for the first time since bis ' reelection last month, took active pa A ,ln the discussion, but no conclusion waa reached and the bill la et t be set tled. . Mr. O roves said that four barge load ef tha slabwood delivered to the dredge Columbia was waterlogged and hence could hardly be used at all. Com mlssloner Drlsooll mentioned something about installing oil-burning furnace In the dredges,. but the proposition did not seem to meet with a great deal of n ' thoslasm, . '.., The meeting was attended by Com missions PrlsotU. Willis, Peas and Swlgert, Commissioners Alnsworth, Ad ams and Wheelwright, being absent Commlasloner Swlgert waa appointed a member of the auditing committee In place of ex Commissioner Thomas, who signed at the previous meeting. ,. : TO LOAD AT LONDON Another Vessel Chartered to Bring ' '. . ...

LOIS OF TROUBLE Hundreds of Complaints and No ' End of TanglW Up Few people real lie' what a lot of trou ble and worry the burning of a car of mall such ss happened to th ear that left Portland Wedneaday night and was burned at Jefferson City entails upoa the postal employer" and "bfficts iv a well a upon the official themselves. ' Hundreds of complaints sbout letters and packages that never reached their destination will be- filed at th poat offlr and first the official will have to tnveattsate Into -the time It wa mailed. Then they 'will ' have to find out whether It wa mad up In time to go Out on th ill-fated oar that-waa re duced to ashes. Btlll further, a search will have to be msde through ths bushel of half-burned mall that waa left out or the fire, to discover if th Inst piece is there. Finally, If the mall sought for Is not found, a detailed report ot what has been done In the endeavor to discover Its whereabouts will have to be mad in triplicate on copy to be kept at th office, on to be sent to th person Inquiring fof th mall and th third to th department Most of this work come upon th postal employes and ofriclala, but In the cas of th registered mall, where check and draft were forwarded through th malt the work In a measure fall upon, th sender. All of these check end drafts, after their loss I made certain, will have to be made In duplicate and mailed again. Of course this means extra work at the banks for th clerk who ha to mak out th form and for th cashier or president who ha to rnveatla-at end certify to th correctness of the proceedings. Then th duplicate registry orders have to be made out Thla cannot be done until th department has been sat isfied that' the registered packag ha been lost . And It tskes time to satisfy the department of anything, ' especially If it means a loss to ths department Everything haa to go through a spec 1-1 fled form and tho detail and blue rib bon would drive th average man un acquainted with government methods to a hasty retreat But ef all th people who will cause trouble, the little woman who penned a violet scented missive to somebody "far sway" will be th worst There la always something In auch note - thst must be for on person alone and th little woman Is never quit sure In her mind that some big man did not a-et hold of that particular letter and read th content. .' j - REPORTS GREAT PROGRESS ON PANAMA CAHAL .
