(From Daily Statesman, June 14.)
The O. R. & N. Company's diminu
tive steamer, the Gypsy, may. not be
raised from her present watery grave
in the Willamette river near ', Indepen
dence where she sank on Monday. The
disabled boat is beinjr examined by
plaster Shipbuilder Carson and Capt.
Geo. iConway, superintendent of water
lines, for the O. R. & N. company,; and
upon their report largely determines
thfe final disposition oi the damaged
steamer by the company. ! .
While the extent ef the damage to
t-lc Gypsy has not yet been ascertained,
the collision must have produced! an
enormous opening in her . hull. the
rapidity wkh which the craft sank con"
firming this presumption. The Gypsy
has ' always" been more .or less unfor
tunate in her operations on die river,
having experienced a number of simi
lar mishaps of a minor nature.; In case
ir should be decided not to raise the
boat, it will probably be replaced by a
boat -more suited to th Willamette riv
er custom. .The business of the com
pany requires, a larger packet carrying
a smaller draught, for the upper river,
especially during the summer months.
The lypsy was built in 1806 at a cost
of between $ii.ooo and $13,000. Its
dimensions were 1 20 feet long with a
25 foot beam,; and having 12 inches
draught By reason of its several years
usage and the numerous repairs made,
the original construction of the ; boat
was modified and at the time of the
accident it probablyT required, 18 inches
draught. The Gypsy has been used al
most exclusively to relieve the heaviet
draught eteainers during the low water
season and during the winter months
when the river afforded good naviga
tion, she was used for transporting car
goes of wheat from up-valey points to
the Oregon City and Portland mills.
Almost the entire cargo of flour and
feed carried by the Gypsy when the
accident happened is. damaged ; The
Sidney Flouring (Mills did not ha've any
flour aboard the boat as was reported.
The management of the mill had , in
tended shipping a quantity of flocr to
this city but when the boat reached that
point, t already had a4ull cargo and
co'uTd not carry any more. " :
USE CIPHEK CODES
HOW SECRETS ARE FLASH KD
OVER PUBLIC WIRES.
Is the Labor of Years-Why Govern
ments Have the Rest Codes How
They lfatCe Guarded. :
The rigging up of a cipher code .is
said to be the most simple thing in the
world by those who know nothing
about It. .Those the larger; govern
ments possess have taken years to put
. -,rA inrnr ftf most COIfM"
tent minds have been employed in thei-
constrnction, says tne uew or. jh
and Express. Notwithstanding the
claims cf many newspapers, there s
not a single code book that fully meets
the requirements of newspaper work.
During the war with Spain many of the
correspondents invented what is known
as a blind code, and the representatives
of a certain metropolitan daily winch
claims to have the finest code in the
business yelled their heads oft trying
to call the censor's attention to the
fact that the other fellow was using a
blind code. This was because nothing
could be found in "the linest fiode in
. 1 1-.... ts nnvfv the idea f the
correspondents of the sheet to their of-
ftce. , ine cnap nu i

lUA bHnd code is rigged up m various
ways, but the most poP"' to w,r:
"Semi me $350." or. "How many words
do you want?"' which sentences. ; while
simple enough apparently, might mean

news of great importance when the
censor is wide awake.' as censors gen
erally are. eBusiness and government
codes have been in use as long asjhe
sub-marine telegraph, the ongmal M
cost of cabling it.ng SP1
their creation. -.The desire for secrecy
has encouraged the bmldmg of ness
and ofiiciai codes more than ha tne
mere question of telegraphic tolls.
The latest thing in the code iine is
the social one ... , Within the lis.t five
years families in society hive arranged
for their, private use. Commodore J.
Pierpont Morgan and John W Mac
kay have probably the finest codes , ex
tant Tliey are used exclusively for
ccnveving messages of a family nature.
One of the most successful mining op
erators t of America, whose wife and
children spend much time abroad, com
municates long messages to them daily
by means of his private code. He
keeps them informed of all the latest
society gossip, and they in turn con
vey to him how, when and where they
are being entertained. This particular
code book contains 325 pages and is
the labor of years, in which all the
members of the millionaire's family
took part. It contains the names of
the individual members of all the prom
inent families in society and additions
and alterations are constantly made to
the work, ead side notifying the other
by mail of the improvements and in
creases in groups and characters. A
similar book, though, of course," entirely
djfferent as to the code words and their
meanings, was prepared for a raifroad
and telegraph magnate recently, the
printing being done by a downtown
firm, which received the-contract in a
roundabout way. The printer was
paid by the general pas-senger agent oi
one ot the railroads the owner of the
code controls, and he did not learn
whom -the book was really for until
some weeks after it was delivered" and
the types distributed. : ' - v
The creation of a family code fs nat
urally dangerous where a copy of it is
liable to fall into the hands of anout
sider who may have access to . the
messages that pa-ss between the mem
bers of the household. The social code
being rised for land telegraphing as
well as submarine, makes it tjhe more
valuable tos a dishonest employe. -
A butler in the employ of a man in
terested in' oil recently dropped a piece
of paper in his employer's room. The
latter picked it up, and was astonished
to see that the paper contained ab
stracts from the family ; code book,
which was supposed to be locked1 up in
a private saie. , The butler was dis
charged, the code was destrcVyed and a
new one was gotten up. The chang
ing of a code hook is not difficult, how
ever, it being possible to move - the
characters up or down as desired so
that they represent new meanings. In
the case of the butler it was found that
he was not dishonest, but .liad copied
portions of the book out of curiosity
to kno what the family was doing. "!
The jSrivatc secretary of a Wall street
man. ho is interested in- all the chief
enterprises of the country, was oskeid
today it he had ever seen a family code.
"Yes. the outside of one." said he,
"but there my observations closed. I
just know that it is the proper thing
for a man erf great wealth to have a
book of thi-s description, and I know
that 'Mr. has one, but uhat is all.
It is the only code book belonging to
him of which I have no personal knowl
edge. He has twejve other codes, each
representing some particular interest,
and I helped to make most of them.
Where an interest is permanent, as, for
instance, raiiroatt snares. 11 is nw unu
cuit to arrange a code book, but where
it becomes necessary to read Hive futude
to guess what may or raajr not nappen,
the compiler of a code neells keen- fore
sight and plenty of imagination..' I
can readily understand for this reason
why it is, as I have heard, that there
are so few perfect newspaper code
books. - . '
"The governments have the most
complete code books, because they
have been at work on the for centuries.
Then, too, the saving of money in tel
egraphing is not so much a considera
tion of the governments as a desire to
keep official communications secret.
TThe saving of tolls being out of the
question makes it possible for?the gov
ernment to use more iraex wortls or
code characters than the average busi
ness house or newspaper can- afford.
Governments frequently change the
arrangement of he code words so as
to prevent reading of messages in the
event of a copy of the book falling into
wrong bands. . - ,
j"Irt the navy the code book on board
each 'ship is bound in lead, and is the
first thing dropped into the sea in the
event of possible capture of the craft
by the enemy." ,
A professional compiler of code
books, who has received as much as
$jo,ooo for one work, that took 5 per
sons three years to compile, said today
that every business house of any pre
tentions bad a code. : -
"Some of the larger houses," he
added, "have a special man for writing
code messages; It is mere chi.d s play
to turn the pages and . learn what is
contained in a cipher message received;
ijhe sending is the difficult thing. It is
necessary to find in . the book code
words that explain the situation thor
oughly. : -
"Some-of the transatlantic steamship
companies have excellent codes. This
s particularly st of the White Star
ire. notwithstanding the fact that it
wa not made by a professional . code
maker. I have seen tiris book- It was,
arranged for the most part by J. Bruce
Ismay, when as a boy his father sent
him out to this country to do general
office work at the company's Ameri

started the book with ciphers a to
dates of sailing of intended passengers
and the rooms they wanted when, re
turning. He added to it day by day
