This Is the way the Portland boys
put II UP on Captain Harry Emken
the moment his back is turned for a
bit Of an outing:
Captain Harry Emken, an olJ-time
river pilot. has gone to San Francisco
for the purpose Of escorting his
daughter TO Portland. The latter has
been In California for some time and
disliked TO make the trip north alone
Accordingly her father went south to
meet her. To the river men II Is a
matter Of deep concern. Captain En-
ken went south on the train. One
faction of the pilots aver that the
thoughts of seasickness caused him to
prefer the overland route. while 9TH
ers allege that II was nothing more
than the idea that the masters Of
vessels plying TO southern ports would
certainly get even with any pilot that
took passage on any craft bound out
OF this port. Captain Emken will be
called upon TO explain Immediately on
his return to duty"
