: After several days' investigation, Fred
XItXU C. Roth, Northern Pacific Of-
believes the port and Its agents are free
of.' fault in connection with the delay
recently esperienced by the schooner
Gamble off the mouth of the Columbia.
Captain Lund, master of the Gamble,
declared In an interview published in
. . The Journal last Sunday, that he was
.delayed 22 days off the mouth of the
river waiting for a tug- and pilot.
i"M investigation shows that the de
lay was due to conditions of wind , and
i ami and not to failure to make every
I effort to find the vessel immediately
' after she was reported, and to bring
r her In' said Mr. Pape.

Another Complaint Answered .
As to Captain' Lund's complaint lhat
the port was two-days towing the Gam
ble to Portland; Mr. Pape said :
""We started up the river with the
Gamble on the morning of February 19,
IV, hours late because of delays at As
toria. At Oak Point it was necessary
for the Oneonta to return, and the Mc-
Cracken proceeded with the Gamble
Had we waited to secure one of the
Shaver boats, there would ' have been
day's delay, and we got the Gamble to
Portland as soon with the McCracken
as could have been done with a more
powerful .vessel starting later."
Mr. Pape says, the pilot service could
only be Improved by stationing a pilot
ship off the mouth of the river, but. he
says this ' service . has not , been main
talned because the business has not Jus
tlfled It.. Ha says the Oneonta goes to
the lightship, 15 miles off the mouth of
the Columbia, dally for reports, also
that observers on North head with
wireless-are constantly on the watch.
Wireless Wot Approved
. He is doubtful if a suggestion by Sec
retary Dodson of the Chamber of Com
meroe, that a light wireless outflt .be
placed on -the lightship, would be of
great practical value. The port's -pilot
schooner, Joseph Pulitzer, Is engaged on
a fishing trip for the city of Portland
and had be a previously chartered to
Dr. A. , C. Smith and others for a tfip
to Alaska. Mr. Pape says the Pulitcer's
present . service to the city is greater
than to keep her stationed off .the
mouth of the river as long as business
remains : light. . ,
