STEAMER MAJA HAS
NARROW ESCAPE

Capt. NJ. s. Hazsn, of the steamer
Maja, dropped into the Glacier office
Monday while waiting for Snow 4
Upson to make repairs to the rudder
OF the tost, and said that In his eigh-
teen years. experience on the Colum
bia river, the present situation was
the worse he ever experienced.
The Maja's run lie between Cascade
Looks and The Dalles, and they have
made the run whenever 1t was possi
bic to do so. Capt. Hazen said that
the main channel was open as far as
Lyle, but that the north and sout b
channels above Memaloose island we're
closed. The ice that Is running in
the river is trom foui to fifteen feet
thick, caused by the ice piling up
and freezing in chunks, and that
when the little boat hits one of the
large chunks 1t is like running into
rock, and the jar about stops the
boat. 1t Is impossible to tell of the
thickness Of the ice that 10 running
down the river by the looks Of it on
the surface, as only the top shows.
The Dalles City ID now running Ieg-
ularly to Lyle, but that 10 as far as it
can ge. ut present. The Kellogg cut
thr ough a channel as far as Crates
Point Saturday, but could not reach
The Dalles.
The Maja bad a narrow escape above
Memaloose island Saturday. While
In the midst of floating ice the rud-
der broke, and the boat drifte into
the blocked ice, which lifted 1t two
feet. The situation was critical one.
There was danger of the boat being
crushed any minute in the ice, or
having a hole stove In her and sunk.
There was but little chance OF escape
by jumping on the floating Ice and
reaching the island. There is no
timber or shelter on the island, and
but q small chance of surviving until
hello could arriv,. BY hard work
temporary repairs we're made and the
boat pushed out into the open chan
nal, afterwards icing beached at
Hewitt's, until the machinery could
be Hxed up In better shape. Monday
Snow & Epson repaired the breaks
and the boat proceeded on it's run.
None Of the railroad camps are
suffering now for supplies. The Cap
ital City, Hercules and Kellogg are

ly established a department for hand
ling loans secured by mortgage upon

sonable rates, upon request of the

This feature has a two.fold benefit
In that it not only will take care Of

will also enable it's customers to loan
out their surplus fucds with excellent
security. E. o. Blanchsr, cashier.
