But I wasn't going to run any risks, you know, and so I said I'll take the cash. If It was all the aame to him.

S Govt Report JQ, PILOT-BOAT JESSIE Kill Be la Service la the Columbia River. WASHINGTON PILOTS SHREWD Sosm Tacts Cosctraisg tke Schooler Jt Bosght hjr Tketa Vhat She Cat Do is a Regatta. Oregonlan. The brief announcement In this paper Wednesday morning that the Washing ton pilots working at the mouth of the Columbia, had bought the schooner yacht J ete at Ban Francisco, caused some surprise among shipping men here, as the pilots said they were building a boat on Gray's harBor tor the purpose. The Jessie, however. Is now in their posses slon, and will bo brought up to th. Col umbia at once. She was built for the late J. Macdonough. of Ban Franchtco. The new pilot schooner Is a ftrst-clsis boat, with om. records for speedy work. Ehe is of the proper site and should be able to weather the heaviest gales of Inter. She was built by Captain Tur ner, of Benecla. who also built the Ore gon pilot boat, San Jos Th. Oregon boat has long been considered too .nail for the service, and efforts have been made by the pilot commissioner to se cure appropriations for the building of a larger boat, hut without success. There was no little (peculation a to what ef fect the Jessie would have on the pilot service. She will clearly give the Wash ington pilots an advantage over their Oregon brethren, but then any Improve ment in the service, which is now very good, will benefit Portland. One shipping man. In discussing the matetr yesterday, could see trouble ahead for the shippers. He said: "The Oregon pilots will have no .'how whatever when the Washington pilots put the Jessie In service. The result will be that they will all go over to the Washington pilots or go out of business. Then you will see pilotage rate go up. The Oregon law allows the pilots to charge 3& per loot and 2 cents per ton. Under the Washington law the North-? pilots can charge $ per foot and for over 12 feet draft, Jli) per toot. Of roue, wow while there is coin petition, the Washington pilots follow the Oregon scale, but they .won't when the)' have the field to themselves." It Is understood that when the Jessie Is brought to the Columbia river, ler masts will be shortened and some other changes made. Speaking of the sal. of the schooner, the San Francisco Call says: "She Is known as a fast yacht, and Is fitted out In a luxurious manner. When anchored oft Bausalito and ready for her trial trip, the Jessie stood on her owner's books at a valuation of 33.000. That is the sum it cost to build and equip her. Of course no such sum as that was ex pected when she was placed on the mar ket, but when the Columbia river pilots offered 310.000 for her. Commodore Mac donough thought the figure too small and refused It. "This was several months age, and the Washington men began looking around for another boat. In the meantime the expenses of the Jessie kept mounting up, and Macdonough, being tirel of her, wrote to the pilots, stating that he would accept the 310,000 after. The answer came in the nautre of a surprise. The pilots said they were negotiating for another boat, and that they would rot pay more than 36.000 for the Jessie. The commodore thought the matter over, and finally came to the conclusion to let the yacht go. He consequently accepted the 36.000 offer, and In a few days the crack schoner Jessie will sail for the Columbia river In charge of one of the pilots.

Coleman replied that ne waa going to keep hla boat In Eastern waters, so no race was possible.
