ElowflirSSoyslVnrzned Sfer l'p Jlnndny :tncl lYJiat Use Kosm 3Ijn-cI. 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 ! i,V :.. 4.:..... oi i..? ceuueu iu juttwi - lewjiuuoiis 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."
