Experience In Fog. An account of a strange marine mis hap. Involving four well-known wate front men of this city, has just come to light after having been carefully concealed by those in possession of the facts who . were solemnly sworn to se crecy, .- ., - -. For" some time dense fogs have bung over the river at night, making naviga tion almost impossible. During one of meaenignis a gasoline iaucn D earing James Frue, Owen Jones, Frank Calla han and W. H. Roberts, all connected with the shipping business In one ca- fiacity or other, started down the river o meet-the British bark Dydgate com ing into port from 6anta Rosalia. The bark, it was thought, would be in the vicinity of Llnnton, but the fog made it necessary to have her anchor below the mouth of the Willamette. It waa late in the evening when the party cinaiiy bid the Ly agate s master. Captain Law. welcome to the fair-city, and it waa still later when they started for 'home.' The fog had" increased un til it obscured evorytnlng. But the launch captain was willing to take chances and. the passengers were anxious to get back home. After aeveral hours' navigation It was discovered that the launch had - been steered In the wrong direction and was bearing away from her destination with every turn of her propeller. This was a sad disappointment, but not quite as oaa as tne one mat louowea aoout an hour later, when the launch ploughed her way -into a soft mud bank and atuck hard and fast. After much work the boat was freed, only to again . miss the channel and tick 5 in the mud. 'It was no fun to work the boat off the beach every half nour or so, ana o all consented to tie up for the night when an old barge was sighted near St. Johns off the shore a ways. On it the four passengers and the launch captain spent the night. It was damp and cold and no fun. They reached the city at 10 o'clock the day after. ,, - SEVERAL CONTRACTS LET Port of Portland Will Have Repairs Made to Dredge Portland.

It will replace the old and dilapidated dredge W. 8. Ladd, which has been employed ior years seeping me cnannei clear In me vieinuy oi Astoria. The new dredge will coat when com- rleted, in the neighborhood of $240,000. t'wlll be one of the finest in the world and as efficient as the best engineers have been able to plan. - Coming around from Newport News the dredge will stop only at a few places to store up and take on fresh water supplies and possibly fuel, although It is understood that the large hold w'.ll carry almost enough to last the entire voyage. But having to battle with rough water, she will probably be given con siderable ballast at the expense of her coal supply. It is figured that if all aoes well the dredge should arrive here about 85 days after her departure from Newport News.
