James Lotan died Tuesday night at his home, 195 Fouiteenth street, at the age of 76. For mire than 54 years he had been a resident of this city and for 30 years took an active part in the po litical life of the state and city. He was collector of customs in 1882 and was the acknowledged head of the Republican party locally. Mr. Lotan was born in Patterson, N. J., in 1843. and enlisted In the' famous Zouaves of New Yorlf. where, as a mem ber of Company C, he saw plenty of fighting In the Civil war. Upon com ing to Portland In 1865 he joined the volunteer fire department and between his Interests in the Willamette Iron works and the political game was one of the most active men In the city for many years. The factional fight that arose between his forces and those of Joseph Simon occupied the center of the political stage until modern methods put an end to old machine politics. At one time, with the Knott brothers, he owned the Stark street ferry, an in stitution that flourished when there were no bridges across the Willamette river. He retired from the Willamette Iron works about 15 years ago. James Lotan is survived by his son. Samuel Lotan. His wife died several months ago. Funeral arrangements are in charge of the Holman Undertaking company. SUBMARINE OFFICERS ON SHORE STOP YOUNG LADY Trawler Turned Into Raider . A Canadian Port. Aug. 21. (U. P.)
