In the Southern Pacific Railway company's annual re port, published in Sunday's Journal, as filed in the office of the railroad commission, the figures in one section were misplaced. The section should have read: "The net Investment in road and equipment was J32.5S1.044.61.

Today he forwarded 60 barrels of oil for the use of the Camp bell's engines, and also sent food and Buarrties. Exact Cansa Wot Known. "No one knows exactly how It wa.- started." said Mr. McDowell. "Offi cers and men declare it was the quick est fire they ever saw. I have already notified our San Francisco and New York "Tbf flees. The ship was due in Portland at fi o'clock last night and had she made it she would have com pleted 'her run from San Francisco to Portland in 0 hours. The Santa Catalina was on her second trip to Portland. She was one of the first ships to come to the coast via the Panama canal and had discharged considerable cargo at San Francisco. "I do rrt know just what insur ance she carried, nor can I estimate the loss at this time." Master Makes Xeport. So far under control was tin fire aboard the steamer Santa Catalina this morning at 9 o'clock that Captain J. V. Rose was able to make a trip of investigation through her before com ing to Portland. Ills report to G. M. McDowell, local agent for W. R. Grace & Co., was as follows: "Her engine room, bojler room, cabins, galley, saloon and everything amidships have been completely gutted. "Cargo hatches Nos. 1 and 4, situat ed forward and aft, respectively, are beli.eved to be Intact. "Cargo hatch No. 2 was completely gutted. "Cargo hatch No. 3 had some fire in it, and was flooded within three feet of the deck in putting out the iiamos. "The starboard side of her hold is badly buckled, the stack buckled over and everything of a combustible na-J ture stripped from her decks." One Tank Only Burned. Captain Rose was able to get within a few feet of the port oil tank, and also near the main oil tank, running the length of the ship, and believes that both are intact. The starboard oil tank, in which the fire is still burn ing, was completely destroyed. His spirit broken through the loss of his fine steamer, and nervous from his long night's vigil in fighting the fire. Captain Rose presented a sorry spec tacle this morning. He was wet and bedraggled when, he left the vessel to cqme to Portland. From the necessarily hasty examina tion made this morning, it is believed that the loss on the Santa Catalina will be about 80 per cent. The flames gnawed at her entrails, ruining the fine engines and everything except a small portion forward and aft. There is a chance that the cargo in Nos. 1 A A If us EaOve Peppermint on3! Yon?

A and 4 hatches will be found in good condition when the ship has cooled off sufficiently to allow the batches to be opened. When G. M. McDowell, the Port land agent of the line, reached St. Helens last night the Santa Catalina was a mass of flames and her amid ships at a white heat. Flames were shooting into the air, and it looked for a while as though there would be no chance of saving anything, rireboat ! rins work. Quick work by the fireboat, which made the run to St. Helens in an hour and 20 minutes, and had every available stream of watyt jlaying on the fire shortly af terwarti, made a noticeable impression on the flames at once, however, and resulted in their being driven away from the forward and after hatches. To steamship men who saw the fire and realize the, fierce heat with which It burned, the reason that the port oil tank and the big main tank which runs the length of the steamer did not burn is a mystery. Had they gone, there would have been no chance of saving anything off the steamer. As soon as the fire is' completely out and the ship's hull cooled suffi ciently to allow of the opening of the hatches, she will be pulled off th. Viennh anrl hroilffht on UD to Port land to be gone over. Until then no l10.6 out of ll- close idea of the extent of the cargo damage can be ascertainejL The ship contained 1600 rons of mer chandise for Portland firms and about 600 tons for delivery at Puget sound after she had completed here.

She was built in Philadel phia in 1913. Her dimensions are: ' Lent. 420 feet; beam, 53.9. and depth of hold, 29 feet; gross tonnage, 6309. Local houses, having goods in the Santa Catalina, commenced early this morning to assemble their bills of lading preparatory to duplicating orders where the goods were de stroyed. Orders will be held up pend ing the opening of No. 1 and 4 hatches. however. j W. R. Grace & Co. have already set . to work to supply a substitute for the i Santa Catalina to take care of the heavy tonnage awaiting her; here, on Puget sound and in California ports, and hope to be able to make an an nouncement within a day or two. While playing with the automatic elevator at the Orlando apartments. Twentieth and Washington streets, yesterday afternoon little Winifred Griffin. 8 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Drew Griffin of Bugene. Or., was caught between the top of the cage and the threshold of the third floor and killed. The child, with her mother, was visiting a sister, Miss Leona Griffin, cashier of the Union Central Life Insurance company, who makes her home at the Orlando It is impossible to explain just how the accident happened, as the child was alone in the elevator at thetime, Her screams were heard by Mrs. Thomas Goedecke, wife of the janitor of the apartments, who summoned E it. wick and other residents. They found the child suspended in midair by its neck and slloulder, wedged between the threshold of the third floor and the top of the car. Mr. Wick called an ambulance, but all efforts to release the child or move the elevator were unavailing. An operative of the elevator company fi nally released the car after half an hour's effort. The child wag taken down. dead. Strangulation is believed to have been the direct cause of death. The pulmotor of the Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph company was used without success. Manager C. K. Bland of the Orlando and others who exam ined and tested the elevator are at a loss to explain how the child became caught as she did.

Mosher, conductor of the car, on the ! night of Oct. 5, may receive a reward of $300 from the state, though the death of Thorman may cheat him out this money. Thorman died last ' night from his wounds at the Good Samaritan hospital.

The law applies to robberies of stage coaches, railroad trains and public and private passenger conveyances.
