no other way could she have been pre-
vented from hitting the bottom. Had
she run aground 1t Is difficult to tell
Just when she would have been iloated.
The transport Is still weather bound
in the lower harbor rs the result OF her
long trip down the river. Had she
made reasonably fair trip over the
ss-miie waterway she could have got
to sea Thursday morning, but, as II
was she did not arrive down until the
weather had grown stormy. Since then
the bar has been rather too rough for
her to attempt TO leave the harbor.
Already three days have been lost, at
great expense and Inconvenience to the
government, particularly at this time.
when the war department is showing
unusual activity because OF the possi-
bilities that may arise as the result of
the far eastern complication. and the
unfortunate circumstance is bound to
give the Columbia river black eye.
Above all things. the government de-
mands prompt dispatch, and in case OF
the Dix much trouble was experienced
In getting her to Portland because Of
delays occurring in the past, for the
very same reason that is now prevents
ing the Dix from putting to sea. The
transport could have gone out without
he slightest difficulty on Thursday had
she arrived down during the morning.
rhe indications are for continued
spell of heavy weather and consequent
detention of the government vessel.

Met After long Years.

Cincinnati, Feb. 12.-By strange
chain Of circumstances brother and
sister, who had not seen each other
since the Johnstown flood. were brought
together in Newport yesterday.
Charles Cornwall was reported
among the missing right after the dis
aster and he was supposed to have
been drowned, as no word was ever
received from him. He eswent to another
part of the country and drifted to Gin
cinnati.
There he was employed a few days
ago in the same store in which his
brother-in-law works. A mutual friend
introduced the men. and Cornwall thus
was restored to his relatives. His sis
ter is Mrs. George Ross, and the family
reside at Newport.

PILOT HAS
BAD MEMORY
Or Else Portland Papers Misquote
Man of the Gold Medal.
Slow Trip Down.
STORY OF TRANSPORT TRUE
She Loses Anchor And Chain
and Narrowly Escapes
Stranding Ona
Sandbank.

If the Portland papers did not err in
quoting Pilot Billy Patterson. that gem
tlenan has misrepresented things In
connection with the passage down the
river Of the government transport Dix,
1t will be recalled that Portland made
much ado about this vessel. She had
been engaged to carry government sup
plies to the Philippines, and, after
much wire-pulling. the merchants of
the Oregon metropolis induced the de-
partment to give them an opportunity
to furnish some Of the cargo, The Dix
came to Portland. loaded 1000 or 1000
tons Of oats and then left down the
river. Portland's gold medal pilot was
in charge.
The Dix experienced the usual diff
Guilty in coming down the river. as later
developments have shown. Upon her
arrival down after a trip occupying 30
hours It was stated she had lost an an
chor and considerable chain. This
story vas published in Astoria and
promptly denied at Portland. The
Portland papers asked Billy Patterson
about it. and Billy was quoted as hav-
ing said no such accident occurred.
The yarn was pronounced to have been
merely an Astoria knock at Portland's
25-foot channel (for 80 minutes at ex-
treme high water.)
notwithstanding Captain Patterson's
statement to the contrary, the Dix real
~ did lose an anchor and very con-
siderable amount of chain. The
amount of chain which was lost was
50 fathoms. Captain Salte. of the
wrecking barge o. X, has been given
the contract for recovering the lost
property and is now making prepara-
tions to commence upon the work. In
view OF this fact II would seem that
Captain Patterson had made a mistake.
The circumstances connected with
the loss of the anchor and long piece of
chain are also interesting. 1t appears
that Captain Patterson did not find the
channel in such fine shape as has been
said. The Dix was running along nice
ly when suddenly it was discovered
that the vessel was approaching a
shoal. Seeing that the transport must
surely run aground, Captain Patterson
ordered the anchor thrown over. The
weight Of the big hulk, being thrown
upon the chain, snapped it, but not un-
til the speed Of the transport had been

TWO STORIES ARE AFLoAT
One Is That Pursued Took to
The River While the Other
Has 1t He Skinned
Up Ladder.

The escapade Of Thursday night.
wherein an indignant husband was said
to have chased man into the river.
has caused much comment around the
city, and the incident has been gener-
ally discussed. In the past men have
been known to climb telegraph poles.
but the spectacle OF man jumping
into the Icy river to elude pursuer
with gun In his hand and blood In
bis eye is novelty that has set wag-
ging the tongues of the gossips,
1t appears that the story first print
ed OF the affair was slightly erroneous,
The meeting Of the three parties In
volved occurred near the corner OF
Seventeenth and Exchange streets. and
proved unexpected all around. The
party of the second part (the alleged
swimmerl seemed very much fright
ened upon the approach OF the husband
and sought safety in flight. AS ne
ran he stumbled and fell and the hus.
band, who was closed behind, sprawied
over his PROSTATE form. In the mix-
up both men lost their hats. The Sec
ond party did not regard the incident
as closed one. by any means, and. re-
gaining his feet. fed again. The hus-
band followed and the chase continued
down Seventeenth street to Commercial |
and then west on Commercial.
Here stories OF the AFFAIR differ.
Some people say the pursued ran TO
the o. r. & N. wharf. and. finding
himself between an infuriated man and
the deep. cold river. chose the river.
Others, who are doubtless correct in
their version. allege that the pursued
ran into a saloon and made his way to
the back of the place. Here he is said
to have discovered a ladder leading TO
a porch on an upper story. and to have
climbed II with much alacrity. The
nan and the gun meantime were in the
saloon, the former evidently being in
.ent upon exercising the latter. How
ever, the man in the roost was not
found, and eventually the husband re-
urned home. where. it Is said, he
licked In the door.
The story goes that the whole affair
vas as much surprise to the pur-
Iued man as TO the general public. It
$ said that he had merely met the !
Woman and walked home with her, and {
me version Of the affair SAYS he did
lot even know her name. The Incl
lent has resulted in endless joking, but !
he interested parties are said to re-
ard 1t quite seriously. The husband
! reported to have lost his hat, but to :
ave found the hat of the man he
hased, and the tell-tale initials un- 3
aveled what might have developed G
ito a mystery that would BATTLE even i

DAMAGED By FROST.
That is What is Expected of the Pruns
Crop-Later Reports Awaited.

Grave fears are entertained for
the safety of the Italian prune crop.
There was considerable frost last
Friday morning and it is believed
that on account of moist conditions
that prevailed at that time, serious
injuries have resulted to Italian
prune orchards. Manager Johnson
made an examination of the big
prune orchard Wednesday, and he
is certain that wide damage has re-
suited there. In parts of the or
chard the blooms have suffered
greatly. Some of the trees are
still blooming, and it is possible
that the late blooms may in part re-
trive the losses. If they do not it
is the estimate now that in that or
chard there will not be more than
one-fourth of crop. Of course it
is yet early to determine with GER
tainty the full extent of the damage
because of the later blooms; but
the situation at this time looks very
bad.
In the case of cherries, apples,
peaches and other fruits there is
prospect Of an abundant crop.
