TINY SLOOP THAT . WAS NEARLY CRUSHED y ;.
BY BLOW FROM TAIL OF A HUGE WHALE
Special Meeting TTIH B Hejg Tues

Passed Toward Obtaining Fonda
Authorized by Recent Pectlon.
A soon as funds become available.
work will be commenced on a project
recommended by Colonel 8...W; Roess
ler. United States engineer, . providing
for a channel for low -draft. boats and
tows on the west side of Swan Island.
Eventually It la expected that this will
lead to the establishment of a,' perma
nent and deep channel there In addition
to the old one to the east of the Island.
In order to allow' boats to pass to the
westward of the Island at the foot of
the harbor, about J00 feet of the dyke
running from the mainland to tne isl
and will have to be torn out to a depth
of about five feet, below the extreme
low water mark. This will admit of
the passage of any of the river steam
era flying out of here. Colonel Roess
ler recommended the project some time
a co when it became apparent that the
mrmiinf snipping; 01 tne port wouia
prom thereby, and the work will there
fore be done under the supervision of
im government. -
Viae for Mooring Buoys. ;
General Superintendent 3. B. C Lock
wood of the Fort ' of Portland Is also
. fig-urine- oa recommending an extensive
Improvement In the lower harbor, above
Ewan island, where there is a natural
anchorage for dees draft vessels. A
Sreat deal of dredging; has already been
one there, but as soon as (he dredges
become available the area of deep water
will be enlarged. At present there is
a minimum depth of 15 feet at ex
treme low water from the upper harbor
to a point at the south boundary of
the North Pacific Lumber company's
mill wharf. At places within this area
the river Is very wide and before long
a string of mooring buoys will be an
chored there so that ships waiting for
berths will not need awing in the way
of shipping.. I,.,--
Proposition Dlsonssed Before.
Several years ago there was talk of
dredging out the west side channel but
at that time it was stated that such a
project would be Impractical if not Im
possible, because of the river bed con
sisting of cement gravel too hard for
dredges so far invented to dislodge. It
Is now believed, however, that the chan
nel can be dug, and without much dif-
Jlculty, and an Investigation along that
Ina will soon be made by Superintend
ent Lockwood. The east side channel,
it Is said, could easily be maintained i
even though the west side chanrrfel be
dredged out. and Hence the new project
would not work hardship on anyone
owning property along tbe old channel
if it should ever become valuable for
dock sltea .-v.- - ,
t , Bridge Altera Conditions,
The construction of the north bank
road's bridge across, the Willamette
makes It doubly desirable to open the
west elde channel, because through it
shipping would have av straight course
for the draw opening, whereas the old
channel is somewhat obstructed ny a
sharp bend at the foot of tbe Island,
especially as to vessels bound down the
river. ..!-. a -.,-..,-;,.
Below the Island and above the rail.
road bridge there has been dredged a
wide bastn where deep sea going vessels
can drop anchor and swing about at
will In case for some reason or other.
there would, be 1 delay in opening the
bridge draw and while it was pretty
hard digging- In spots, the dredges
sucked out the mud and gravel at a
very satisfactory rate and at less 'ex
pense than was first anticipated.
: Other Improvements Planned.
Many other- Improvements ' are con
templated In the river and harbor as
soon as the Port of Portland commis
sion rets down to a working basis un
der the new arrangements provided for
by the recent election, and next Tues
day the commission will hold a special
meeting for the purpose of passing a
resolution calling for the issuance of
(500,000. worth of bonds in order that
friendly suit might be brought at an
early date to test the legality of the
act . . .,!. : ' .-,

Sloop Guiding Star aud the three men who made the daring run from Victoria, B. C, to Portland.
The picture in the tipper right hand corner 1b that of Leopold A. Bern ays, captain; in the left hand upper
corner Is the picture of B. Hancock, mate, and In the lower right hand corner la the picture of F. Wilson,
steward, cook and sailor. The sloop Is .at anchor at tbe foot of Flanders street, back of the Seamen's
Institute, where the public Is Invited to inspect It.
When off Grays Harbor on her way
from Vanoouver, B. CX, to Columbia
river, the little ' sloop Guiding Star,
which arrived here Thursday, narrow
ly escaped being tossed in the air and
smashed by a monster whale frolicking
In the waves. Shouts from the three
occupants and violent waving of arms
tinaiiy uroT uu xne unwelcome visitor.
The sloop had been groping along in
a dense fog when suddenly the leviathan
shot . from the deep and spouted
stream of water high in the air jutet for
ward of the starboard bow. Higher and
higher he rose on the water and then
turned for the craft which was gliding
on its way.
The helm was thrown hard over but
at the same time the whale gave a
sweep with his powerful tall and for a
moment everyone on board -held hjs
breath. Then they shouted, shouted
at the top of their voices and wa -
their arms frantically. It evidently had
the desired effect for the next moment
lust as there was about to be a crash,
the bulky forni of the whale sank, al
lowing tne Guiding Star to pass over
him. ' Tho men grabbed life preservers
for -had the whale decided to com to
surface again he would have turned
tho craft over. - , .
Second Close Call.
About an hour later the sloop again
h-vl a narrow escape from disaster. The
fog made it impossible . to keep the
boa rings and before -anyone realized It
she was within 60 feet of the breakers.
Quick maneuvering again saved her
and luckily the wind was. of sufficient
strcngtn to Keep her oir snore against
a strong current
The Guiding . Star was- formerlv a
notM racing boat in British- Columbian
wr.ters, known as the Lurline. She has
won many races and Captain Bernays
says be will bet on her should she ever
get a chance to get Into a contest on
the river. She was built 17 years ago
an1 is in need of some calking but this
can easily be done and then she will
bo a fine acquisition to the local Sea
men's institute, the flag of which she

Captain Bernays who formerly was a
lieutenant in the British navv. and now
chaplain of .the Seamen's institute at
Vancouver. B. C, aa well as instructor
In navigation, has won many honors
during his career. He held the hie-hest
record for torpedo work at one time,
having made 198 marks out of a pos
sible 200, besides having secured the
ooxer meaai wnen on the H. M. 8. Au

the Royal Humane sooletyr signed by

when Bernays Jumped In and brought
aim out.
Cool Work Saved Boat,
Captain Bernays speaks highly of
Mate . HancocK and Bailor P. Wilson.
who made the daring voyage In the
Guiding Star. In fact he says the boat
wouia nave oeen lost auring tne gale
In the Straits of Juan de Fuca but for
the excellent seamanship of Hancock
who took the helm after he himself hail
abandoned all hope of ever seeing shore
again.
During the height of the blow, Han
cock took In the sails and steered the
craft into shelter under bare poles.
Even then she sped along at the rate
of seven kuots an hour. The waves at
that time ran all of 15 feet high. Han
cock came to Portland as third mate
on the British ship Donna Franceses
which is now lying Idle at Astoria wait
ing for a charter. From here he went
to Vancouver, B. C, for a visit and
so became acquainted with Captain Ber
nays.
Two years ago he was on the Donna
Franceaca when she was nearly lost off
Cape Flattery after having sailed from
Fuget sound with a cargo of lumber.
The sails were carried away as was
also the deckload and for several days
the big craft drifted about helplessly
until the -storm finaUy abated. The
British ship Great Admiral went down
in that storm and her crew was picked
up from a raft by the British ship
Barcore.
F. Wilson was sailor, cook and ehlef
steward on the Guiding Star. He has
been to sea before on a windjammer
and Was Stavlnr at the Vancouver in.

to make the inn to Portland. He had
considerable trouble keeping up a good
table because the little cook stove lost
Its sea legs and poured its contents
au over tne bottom of the boat
Flag Was Oood Xaak Trophy.
A black pennant with a white star
ior a center-piece was presented to the
Guiding Star by a lady just before leav
ing Vancouver and the sailors say that
while they are not superstitious it Is
a singular fact that good weather pre
vailed aa long as .the pennant was fly
ing at the mast head. Crossing the
stralght.it was taken down because of
the rain. and .then the storm came on.
It was . Impossible ' to replace it while
the boat -was belnr toaaeri ahout ilka

as the - boat got in shelter. The com
paks used In the trip will be presented
to the- Vanoouver. yacht clubs.

have to say to that person Is to Invite
him to attend a meeting . of the city
council or the city executive board."
said Councilman George . Baker this
morning. "Or, If that does not suf
fice him, all I v ask is that he attend
any meeting of the street committee 'or
trait upon the city engineer or city at
torney and find the ' conditions which
confront these public officials in the
matter of making Portland a great
iiy," ne continued. . - .; ' .' . ;
"The time has casfced when we Should
be governed by hide-bound prehistoric
rulea Portland la developing Into one
of the greatest cities in the United
States and those persons who have in
the -past few months spent any .time
in visiting other principal cities ' bear
me out in what I aav. This is a arrest
city in everything but the laws that
tie us down . to old time principles that
should have been relegated to the vll
lages years ago."
Charter Changs Weeded. ,
In this - manner Baker ' dlsoosed of
bis opinions about the present nit y char
ter and confirmed the report in Mon
day's Journal , to the -effect that he
would introduce a resolution calling for
the aPDOintment of a commission - to
revise the nresent antlauated charter.
City Engineer ' Thomson - of 1 Seattle
paid Portland's city engineer. D. W.
Tsylor, a high compliment - when he
eaia mat Taylor was accomplishing
more than most eneineera could ac
complish were they handicapped with
the primeval lawa that prevail In Port
land at the present time. - - .
Councilman R. IB. Menefee Is another
elty official who la in favor of re
vision of the city charter. He said
that the present laws are withholding
the city's progress more than anything
else. In accordance with the conserva
tive course he has followed since he-
placed In only the most skillful hands.
. JOl Officials Favor cnange. -There
is hardly a man in the list of
city officials who does notfavor char
ter revision. Councilmen Kellaher and
Ruahllghc two of -the most conserva
tive and capable men In the oounoii,
urge the .necessity of charter revision.
Both men say that there are certain
things - in the " charter requirements
which should be eliminated to give tne
city the needed laws that will result
in. jnaklng a greater and better Port
Perhaps no man in the city govern
ment has had a better opportunity to
study the results of the operation of
the city's business under the present
charter than City Auditor Barbur, and
while, a new man at tbe game and con
servative at that he has found many
things which should be revised to in
sure the city a better administration
than is possible under the present char
ter. Barbur is a slow going sort of a
man, who makes haste slowly, but In
the course of a conversation the other .
day he showed up several defects thai
would make the ordinary business man
sit up and take notice were the same
rules followed la that- man's business
. complaints oa u Hiaee. .
Wherever one roes about the city hall
he hears nothing but complaints about
the charter. These do not all eome
from city officials, but ' from persons
who , appear to protest in regard to
certain requirements they are expected
to fulfill. While the charter affords
great protection to the Individual whloh
works a detriment to the welfare of
the. general publio It also has a boom
era fag effect which would often cause
the lone Individual to wish that there
was eome sort of -a way In which the
happy medium could be established that
would insure equality to the property
owner who has to pay the oost of the
Improvement )

Origin of Harvard's Crimson.
Sidney Curtis in Success Magasine.
President Eliot likes to tell of the
origin of Harvard's "crimson." In
1S68 the first Harvard rowing shell was
put on the water. Three men. of whom
Alexander Agassis was one. got together
and bought it .
"We had not paid for the boat" said
President Eliot when asked about this.

money to pay for It Well, the day be

were to be 13 or 14 boats in the race
and we said to each other. How are

The Flower Mission . day nursery
leraned today that It had many friends
when the large new grandstand at Mult
nomah .field was comfortably filled with
people Interested In a game between
the bankers on the one : aide and the
lawyers and doctors on the other. There
was much enthusiasm from the minute,
the first ball was thrown by Governor
Chamberlain and caught or nearly
caught, by Mayor Lane. When the two
star players were dismissed each laden
with a huge bouquet of American
Beauty roses presented by the Flower
Mission enthusiasm almost broke
bounds.
Tliere were over 1,000 people there
and seldom is so feminine a crowd
seen at a baseball game. To be sure
there were lots of men too, but berlb
boned and Deflowered hats crowned the
heads of most of the spectators in the
grandstand. There were a lot of little
boys who airly showed off their wis
dom to the appreciative women -who
marveled at their vast Information.
Cheers and handclapping greeted the

occurrence when the star team was at

throughout and when the final score
was announced, 17 to 9 in favor of the

He says the better class of natives who

they must lean on Uncle Sam.

Of the subject " ' . ' ,
The water power question has been
taken under consideration by (N. Mo
Arthur of the Multnomah delegation to
the legislature, wno is now at- worn
gathering data l or incorporation Into a
measure for the conservation of the
water power of the state.
It Is Mr. McArthui-s view that the
publio schools of the state should profit
by the sale of the pater power. - He
would do away with all perpetual grants
to corporations or Individuals, and In
their place would lease tbe use of power
to those wishing It for a certain sum
to be determined upon by tbe authorities
at the time of the grant being made. He
would have the grant made for a cer
tain reasonable term of years, and
would provide that all funds derived
from tbe use of water power would be
turned into the Irreducible school fund
for the use and benefit of the -school
system of the state In the preparation
of his bill Mr. McArthur will work In
harmony with tbe commission appointed
by Governor Chamberlain, and will draft
it In such a manner aa to meet with
the Ideas and suggestions of that body.
