;in(r, that time, decided that he' could
'"get- the governor with a shotgun.1. But
e did riot happen to meet the governor
when he had his weapon with him. Bo
he dogged he steps of the governor
without making a hostile move until he
' had secured ' the assistance - of Steve
Adams..- "J ' ' .
"Why did you want Steve Adams r'

it to become a' farce and a joke to- the

The saloon men say they will-close,

reserving to themselves the privilege of
causing the courts to decide the ques
tion. During the process the district
attorney will have his hands full in rep
resenting his side-of the contention,
which; under 'ordinary' circumstances,
would require some six months to settle.
During , this time , various questions
are to be determined. One is whether

Fire broke out in the engine room of
the ateam schooner Jim Butler at Linn
ton this morning and tt became neces
sary to scuttle the , craft in order to
save her , from destruction. " The fire-
boat. Geo. Williams responded promptly
and towed the Butler across the river,
where she was sunk in about 20 feet
Of water, She will be raised as soon
as possible and placed ort the drydock
for repairs. 1, j . . . - ..
The Jim' Butler was at the wharf of
the 'Clarke & Wilson' Lumber company
ready to depart for San Francisco-with
a cargo of 700,000 feet of. lumber-when
the engineers discovered a blaze in the
flrehold. v Alarm waa sounded but the
crew was - unable' to get at the flamea
with the fire fighting paraphernalia at
hand and so .telephoned to this city for
the fireboat. In the meantime a dense
volume of smoke gushed from the en-
?1ne room and drove the fire fighters
rom their position. The lumber cargo
rojr-hrf nnvpra.1 fppt above ther deck
and this made" It difficult to do much
good with the small nose available or
the ordinary -water' buckets carried on
shipboard. . '"' -v' "'.'-''-. 1 ? ' '''''',
When the fireboat arrived it became
evident that even with the heavy pumps
nothing could be done-with any degree
of Certainty of getting the fire under
lerfect control without nooding the en.
ire hold and so she was towed away
from the mill wharf and across the river
to a place with soft bottom and about
20 feet of water and scuttled. It would
have been impossible to sink the craft
in - deeper water as she would bjwe
floated on the cargo.
By discharging the lumber and put
ting a couple of powerful , pumps to
work, the vessel can easily . be floated
and towed to the drydock for repairs.
The extent of the damages to the in
side of the hold can not be ascertained
until the cargo has been , removed and
the vessel flouted.- .
The. Jim Butler left Portland on her
maiden voyage only a few months ago.
She belongs to the Olson-Mahoney Lum
ber .corrtpany of San Francisco, and is in
command of Captain William Olson, son
of the senior member of the firm. The
hull was built on Grays harbor and the
machinery .built and r installed s here by
the Willamette Iron & Steel Works.
The total Value of the boat is rfaced at
about $80,300. r -
The Jim Butler is a counterpart of the
steam schooner H. Marhoffer which left
this city on her maiden triD about a"
week ago for San Francisco in command
of Captain Nygran. . The Marhoffer,
too, belongs to the Olson-Mahoney Lum
ber company. ; - ... . .-
The J lm Butler la the second steam -
schooner running out of this port in the
coastwise lumber - trade to come to
grief during the past 10 days, the steam
schooner DaisyNFreeman having met a
serious mishap on the Columbia river
bar a few days ago while crossing' out
bound for Sap Francisco. . She returned
in tow floating on her cargo, a blsr hole
having "been stove in her bottom. '
