I11-Fated Trip.

Saturday forenoon the steamer
Ruth arrived in this city with flags
at half-mast. Ii was learned that
on the way up the river, just above
the junction of the santiam and
Willamette, the boat had struck a
drifting log. Shortly afterward a
report was made to the captain
that water was. accumulating in
the hold quite rapidly, and the sup
position was that hole had been
stove in the hull of the craft by the
collision. This happened just be-
fore daylight.
Captain Miles Bell, who is in
command of the Ruth, sent his son,
Ira, who was the nightwatchman,
to investigate the nature and ex-
tent of the damage. Regarding
what transpired later there are
various accounts. One account has
it that the young man entered the
hold with his lantern, and after
waiting for something like ten min
utes his father whistled for him.
Az he did not answer the summons,
others went to investigate and found
the lantern in the hold where Ira
had left it. They could not find
him high or low and surmised that
when he came out Of the hold, his
eyes, unaccustomed 10 darkness,
had failed him and in some manner
he had fallen overheard. There is
another account that states he had
gone forward to the bow of the boat,
where there was a pile of cord
wood, to peer over to see, if possi-
BILE, if anything was foul of the bow.
And it is thought by some that
he may have in some way caused
the pile Of wood to fall, which
crowded him off the deck.
However, the fact remained that
he was missing and search failed
to give any clue to his whereabouts,
other than that he had fallen into
the waters of the Willamette, which
was high at the time. The Ruth
turned. about and cruised back
down the river in search of the
missing man, but was barren of re-
suits. Ira Bell was about 80 years
of age and could not swim.

Three Questions.

Before purchasing apiano or organ
there are few questions it is well to
consider. First: Is the instrument made
to use or simply to sell? Second: Is
the the tone. action and finish first class
Third: Is the price reasonable? Cheap
instruments are expensive at any price.
Why? Because they never give salts
faction, being constructed OF the cheap
est material hastily thrown together.
To secure the value of your money there
is one certain way. Buy an instrument
which has not only an established repu-
tation for years. but which has kept up
with every improvement of modern
times. IF you then would like such n
instrument with tone, action and :
ish unsurpassed, I have them, and { |
furnish you any at the lowest pr ),
