The temperature at Lewiston Friday night was around the aero mark, and with ice f r m the Fnake and Clearwater running into the Columbia, the danger to .'oats will be Increased.

The last three hours of the work was done in the dark, the lights falling Just when the cargo-taking was almost finished, or an even bet ter mark might have been made. Two large logs 70 feet long and 85 Inches in diameter for use as spuds on the government dredgers at Balboa, were a part of her cargo.

Stranger when she struck Dalles City . roc r-riaay arternoon ana san. tnai Captain Archie Geer and other officers and deck hands of the steamer Strang er, with the exception of the chief en gineer, were drunk, will be made by United States Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers Edwards and Fuller. The members of the crew will likely be baek In Portland by tomorrow when a date for the bearing will be set. .In his sworn statement to the In spectors yesterday, Hume stated that he saw Captain Geer and several other crew members in the cabins and that all of them had been drinking. He said that the wind did not blow the steamer onto the rock and that there was no ice floating near them. After the vessel struck and was beached. Hume says, the passfengers launched the lifeboats themselves and rowed the boats a -quarter of a mile to a point where they cTuld land. Local river men are at a loss to understand the charges against Cap tain Geer, as he has been running steamers on the river for years and has always borne an excellent repu tation. He owns the steamer Stranger and has used her in a free lance trade supplying ror other steamers and car rying powder and combustibles' for several years.
