Daltff Jul Mtd Jimyirr, April ,th.
Last "Moiulnv niornint?, at ten
o'clock, we were pacing' up and
down the wharf boat at Celilo. in
company with jIr. Lindcruian,
the jtfl'abic accent of the 0. S. X.
Co.. who shows the reverence of
his nature by baptizing ikisrs after
lninisters. We were awaiting the
arrival of the Faxon from Wallula.
and she was a. trifle behind time.
At last a snnill cloud of btcam ap
jxared alove the point in Hell
Gate over which sits the "Indian
at Prayer." The Ijoat w m full
sight and ten minutes later she
was alongside tle wharf, llcr
passcngci's weio sxu landed and.
after a big hand of sheep had been
driven ashore amid immense amuse
ment for sjecta tors, the train started
for town. Vapt. Troup began lo
mar.shal his forces for :i trial trip
of the new 1 Mia t, whose debut has
been . much tailed of during the
past winter. A few minutes later
THE HAKVK-rr UI'EEX
"Was dropped down alongside the
Faxon and about thirteen tons of
Hour placed on board of her. This
effected very little towards trim
ming her up. She settles but
slowly in the water in comparison
with the Wide West or Robert it.
Thompson. In fact she will carry
I'JO tons of freight on the latter
boat draft without a pound aboard.
She is 200 4"eet long, oS feet beam,
and is propelled by a pair of non
condensing slide-vnl re engines of
24-inch bwre and S-feet stroke.
Her boiler is a sectional one, a great
heating surface, capable of carry
ing 140 pounds to the square inch.
Still she was not in tnini eiioutrh bv
the head, and Captain Troup tried
a car-load of wood, but the differ
ence was barely perceptible. Every
one of the experts took a look at
her and sighed for a .hundred tons
of wheat, t. give her about 2S
inches forward and 24 aft. But it
was the best that could be done,
and at 1 1 o'clock
THE LINKS WERE CAST GTF
And out she backed as graceful as
a swan. The John Gates had
made a trial trip surpassing all
previous efforts, but she did hers
on a calm wintry day witlf almost
slack water in Hell Gate. Now it
was blowing a strong down-stream
wind and the current was what may
lijivi bnin rvnfp.rrd :ifrrr :i bur
.. .. .. yt - -
Snake river rise. So the new boat
had all those disadvantages to
contend against. The boiler
foamed .incessantly, and she work
ed more or less water in her cyl
inders. The trip was made under
the charge of Peter JDelluff, yssis-
tant superintendent engineer of
the company, assisted by David
Pa.rdun.und Oscar Anderson, from
the Faxon. She went out with
100 pounds of steam, leaving the
end of the wharf-boat under full
headway at 11:24 a. m. The
steam ran up to 120 pounds as
soon as me nreman raised ms
dampers, but the water in the
boiler was all over the boat.
IX THE PILOT IIOl'SE
Were, besides Captain Troup,
Purser Fordyce, Pilots Pinkston
and Goar, Messrs. Linderman,
Murphy and the writer. .Nor must
we omit to mention J. J.. Holland,
the constructor of the boat, who
had come along to witness her
initial .run. She was fifteen and
one-half minutes to the "out of;,i;lvsj ;.,;i J
sight oHJelilo'" point in Hell Gate,
more than three minutes behind the
Gates' time to that point. She
beiran to cousrh a little louder as
she rounded out of the Gate and
passed Three Mile rocks. The
water was going over the arches
into her cylinders, and she worked
quite groggily up to the foot of
Five Mile, which she took as easy
as if it had been an eddy. Colum
bus wharf-boat was passed in forty
one and one-half minutes, and yet
she was behind the Gates' 'trial,
which extended no further than
this point. Here Peter began to
get his engines a little freer, and
opening her out under 120, buc

out of her.
THE UNEXPECTED.
Just as we drew past Columbus,
Dave Pardun noticed the supplv
of water.to the boiler was defect
ive, andoff came the hatches to the
I well. O'Hexan.ination it was found
that the well-hole was too small
for the feed pipe to the boiler, sq
there was nothing to do but let
t e steam run down to 100 till the
defect could be remedied. So the
boat kept up to twenty turns per
minute even with that steam, while
a portion of the guests adjourned
to the cabin for lunch. On regain
ing the deck the boat was in the
foot of the Preacher's Eddy, and
passed the reel at the head of it in
an hour and twenty minutes from
the tartinir point. She wasTapid-
Iv neariug a point at which her ca
jiabilities" would hi' fully tested.
In olden times the pilots would
always take the "Washington terri
tory shore in high water, leaving
to the right the narrow chute in
.lonx pay's kapihs.
This is necessarily a dangerous
place unless a boat is closely
watched. We saw the Faxon
jump across it sideways .last May
and get a terrible whack on the
rocks. lb we was a boat 35 feet
lonirer and 4 feet more beam.
Would she flinch? Not a bit of it.
The angry rapids swelled up to
her plankshear as she clove the
water like a Toledo blade, and
went out of the crwiked swirl with
less than three spokes of the wheel.
It was now evident that she was
a very steady boat to steer. It
only remained to try her in a big
wlwni and at 1 hour and 50 minutes
from the time she left Celilo she
took the '-Indian rapids,' and
spanned -it like a suspension bridge.
Any man that could steer a boat
stead in slack water could have
taken her through it. Thoroughly
satisfied that she was fully worthy
of all the hopes that had been
formed of her, Captain Troup
headed her back and reached Celilo
at 2:24, having been gone three
hours. She leaves Celilo this
inorniiiir for Wallula.
Tith of the Press.
About one mr.nth ago, says the
Salesman. Mr. J. D. Prettyinan sent
a few pounds of screenings gathered
up at the Kinney flouring mills, to a
friend in Kansas. Yesterdaj 'lie re
ceived a reply which was laconic
enough. "Send me one hundred
bushels of those screenings and I will
forward in return 100." Mr. Pretty
mun also sent liiiu several specimens
of Oregon wheat.
The Olympia Transcript says :
"On Wednesday, a large number of
passengers came over on the North
Pacific road, many of them immigrants
who came on the Great Republic. At
every station some were left, a family
of twelve getting off at Centreville
and fort going down the sound. Pu-gct-sound
is likely to receive some
benefit from the llood of immigrants
now arriving in Oregon."
The Seattle Post says: "The
Comet has just returned from a re
markable, trip up the White river. She,
on her last trip, went higher up the
stream than it has ever been naviirated
by steam since 185G. At the date
mentioned Seattle was not so large as
it is to-day, and old settlers will re-
member well the time Capt. Parker,
now of the Messenger, carried sup
plies from Seattle to the soldiers who
were stationed up White river, at or
Jirannau s landimr. Twenty- three
years have elapsed since a steamer
made her appearance up there. It is
"" to oe wonuereu at umt uiu uuigu
bors turned out en masse to welcome
the plucky little boat."
