The barge Washougal, belonging to the Columbia Contract company, turned turtle at her dock at Stella Quarry today, dumping her entire load; of rock into the river and losing her Bulwarks. Owing to the fact that the barge was loaded almost entirely above decks, and had not suf ficient ballast in her hold. he capsized just as th tug Samson started to tow her sway from her dock. After pitching her load into the river, the barge right ed herself, striking the tug Samson, which had not been able to get out of the way, but not seriously disabling her. The Washougal is familiar to all river men. having been In service for several years. Last season she made several trip to Grays Harbor, loaded with stone to be used in the Jetty which Is under construction, at that point. wnue the loss or tne roc ann tne asm age to the barge will probably not ex ceed $2500. the delay of work on the , Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia river will be rtujeh more serious, as it will necessitate the closing down of one dock for th remainder of the week as the Columbia Contracting com pany has been running behind in their deliveries in the past, and the accident to the Washougal will cause additional delay, it is probable that the project wnicn nas neen under consideration by the aovernment which contemnlaten the opening of a quarry at some point in Washington about opposWe.

Mattson has good reason for his grief and apprehension, for when he recovers sufficiently to be removed from his hospital cot to the county Jail he will be held there In pursuance of on of the provisions of the new criminal code of the state or Washington, which went Into effect June 10. anil which makes It a crime, punishable by a fine not to exceed $1000, to attempt to take one s own lire. The method which Mattson chose In nis effort to escape this life was to loop a shoestring about his neck, tie the other end to the top of the bed post, snd roll off onto the floor. Other tenants of the Pacific avenue lodging house, where ne was a roomer, heard his groans and rushing in, found him writhing on the floor. They extricated him and sent him . to the hospital. He will be all right in a day or two, when he win rind nimseir under arrest.
