THE MoHR LINE BOATS.
Preliminary Arrangements for Their
Construction Completed.

II is understood that the necessary
arrangements for the construction of
the boats to be used on what is known
as the Paul Mohr transportation line
have been made and that active oper-
ations win be commenced at once.
The Dimensions OF the boat will be-:
Length 200 feet Jeam, 80 feet; depth
Of hold s feet. One will be
fitted especially for passenger traf-
fic. Her cabins will be equipped with
all the modern convenlences. The
other will have ilrst-class passenger
accommodations, but will be able to
carry greater amount of freight.
Both boats will be equipped with high
pressure engines of great power. Their
boilers win be capable of standing a
high steam pressure and will probably
take coal for fuel.
From Portland 1t is reported that a
knock-down boat, the timbers for
which have been recently sawed at
Johnson's mill. is being loaded on the
cars on the o. r. & N. switch on the
East Side. 1t will be shipped 10 a
point opposite Columbus on the upper
river, and there put together, The
boat which will be built at that point
will be 165 feet in length, 80 feet beam
and 6 feet depth of hold 1t is under
stood that the boiler and engines are
now on the ground, Captain Cochran
having brought them from Chicago.
The steamer Frederick Billings, which
was recently purchased from the
Northern Pacific. win be supplied with
a new boiler and will so into commits
sion Immediately as construction
boat. The report is current that the
next move on the part of the company
will probably be the construction of a
flrst-class, llght-draught boat on Snake
river, at some point above Riparia.
For about three or four months in each
year, Snake river is navigable from
Pasoo to the Grande Ronde. The re-
mainder Of the year boats can operate
only between Rlparia and points few
miles above Lewiston.

The woman who. In this city. repre-
sented herself as Miss Louise David.
from Buffalo. n. Y. In search OF a
brother but who now appears to be an
impostor. has at last come to grief in
the neighborhood OF Corvallis. A
special dispatch to the Oregonian from
Corvallis gives the following interest
Ing details Of the woman's most ex-
tra0rdinary career after she was run
out of Portland by he iollce:
"Hilda Hobson. or Louise David.
WAS arrested today at soburg on a
warrant from Justice Holgate' court.
OF this city. charging her with larceny
OF a livery rig. Sheriff Rickard is ex-
pected TO arrive with the woman to-
morrow afternoon. Hilda Hobson ar
rived here on the boat early Sunday
morning. and shortly afterward ap-
peared at the livery stable and asked
for a rig. She gave her name as Lou
Use David. and said she had a silver
hip. She had her crutches with her
and said she was shot at the battle OF
Santiago. At the livery stable she
said she wanted to go to the home OF
her uncle. who. she alleged. lived four
miles south OF town. The livery man
wanted TO send driver along but
Eiilda demurred, saying that she might
want to stop longer than would the
driver. or that her cousin might want
to come back TO town with her. She
talked so plausibly and so smoothly
that Liveryman Elgin fitted her out
with a horse and buggy, and she at
once left town, going south. When
she went to get into the buggy, she
declined the proifered aid, and climb d
in with ease and grace. Liveryman
Elgin has not since seen his horse
and buggy. a warrant was issued last
night for the arrest OF the woman, and
Sheriff Rickard learned that at a lat
hour this afternoon she was at farm
house two miles from Harrisburg.
The rig. the sheriff also learned, is at
a Harrisburg livery stable, where 1t
was felt by the woman Sunday after
noon"

A gentleman now residing In this
city and who, for several years, has
been connected with the shipping busi-
ness on the river between this city
and Portland In connection with trade
engaged in by vessels from foreign
ports. has submitted II communication
In which he sets Forth soma " the
reasons for the peculiar manner in
which the commerce on the river is
being conducted under the influence OF
the apparently almighty clique at
Portland. In the article he says,
among other things Some time
back Captain Flavel had control OF
the towage and pilotage on the Co
lumbia river bar. He owned the three
tow boats, the Brennan, Astoria and
Columbia, each one OF these boats be-
ing fully as powerful as either OF the
boats on the bar at the present time,
and they were far better as bar boats.
The ships, at the time Captain Fla
vel had charge OF the bar, were small
few OF them registering over 1900
tons. and often 1t took two boats, and
sometimes three, to bring n ship in
against the current. Now, with the
mouth OF the river made narrower by
jetty. and strong current running
out, and the ship being twice as large,
It is no wonder ships have to lay too
outside and wait for a fair wind and
tide to get in. And the came thing
seems to be the case in getting out,
If the o. r. & N. had built a pow
erful boat when they let the contract
for the tug Wallulu, II would have
been better for the ships coming here,
but as long as they give no better
service at the mouth of the river just
so long this port will be Disseminated
against by owner Of ships. There is
another grievance against the o. r. &
N. and no where else in the world
could It be tolerated. 1t Is this: Often
the pilots sail ships in and out, but
this corporation makes no reduction
in their towage bill and actually col
lect for a service they do not per-
form. Their service on the river is
worse than It has been for twenty
years, ships having to wait at each
end three or four days. In former
years the old management could call
